Jaspar Lepak at Cambridge Drive Concerts

Jaspar Lepak is a folk/Americana songwriter whose remarkable gift for melody is only surpassed by her poetry. A child of the Sonoran Desert, her songs is deeply influenced by the many places she has called home: Tucson, Minneapolis, Durban, and currently Seattle. Sweeping across landscapes with an emotional depth that is extraordinary, her lyrics expose a brave vulnerability while her clear, pure voice touches the heart.

Lepak started writing songs in 2002 while living in Minneapolis. Between 2004 and 2009, she recorded five albums, and in the fall of 2009, she moved to Durban, South Africa with her husband Kale. Her music found an enthusiastic audience, and in 2011, she recorded “Forgiving Wind” which Rolling Stone South Africa hailed as an album full of “beauty and original charm.” Lepak became a Seattle resident in 2012 and released her 8th CD “Close to Me” in September of 2017. “Close to Me” is a solo project recorded over a weekend in April—just two weeks before her daughter was born!

We’ve wanted to present Jaspar in concert since we first heard her at a Folk Alliance conference over 4 years ago.  We’re thrilled to share this smart, quirky, delightful singer/songwriter.  This is a show you do not want to miss.  Learn more about Jaspar at www.jasparlepak.com
