DK & The Joy Machine

http://www.dkandthejoymachine.com

Channeling a combination of Patti Smith and Lucinda Williams, DK AND THE JOY MACHINE is a Brooklyn-based, singer-songwriter and mountain dulcimer virtuoso who brings this humble trad instrument into the big city. A mountain dulcimer champion, DK and her “Joy Machine” hit the alt-folk scene running after an 18 year hiatus in 2012, performing since then at Rockwood Music Hall, Arlene’s Grocery, Dixon Place HOT! Fest, and other well known NYC venues while touring regularly in Europe and the US. Her new album SHY ONE has been lauded by Curve Magazine, Alt-Country Forum, and other blogs as, “rootsy Americana that directly touches the heart” with songs that are “quirky and smart with sultry vocals and intricate dulcimer playing.”
