Keri Latimer covers "Myrtle" by Vic Chesnutt


Keri Latimer is a Winnipeg singer songwriter who is playing some songs at the times changed High and Lonesome Club tonight, in a songwriter circle, 10pm.
Taken from her myspace page,
"Juno Award winning songwriter Keri Latimer’s career began in the visual arts. While deeply immersed in an intensive graphic design program, she began to play guitar as a distraction. Very quickly her studies became sabotaged by musical urges, and it became obvious what her truest form of expression was. Starting from square one, she tapped into several years of adolescent piano lessons, a love for subversive and painfully genuine songs, and began to find her voice. Several awards later, including a Western Canadian Songwriting Award over fellow nominee Bryan Adams, she is firmly rooted in the Canadian music scene. Since 1999, Keri has been fronting the band “Nathan” which is currently signed to Nettwerk Records worldwide. Acoustic Guitar Magazine tried to account for their music as “infectious alt-country noir, fractured folk-swing and surreal songwriting.”
