Jesca Hoop – Live at the National Centre for Early Music

California-born, Manchester-based singer-songwriter Jesca Hoop returns to York for an intimate live performance showcasing her distinctive sound and lyrical depth.

Celebrating the release of Selective Memory, a live, unplugged reworking of her acclaimed 2017 album Memories Are Now, Jesca will be joined by Chloe Foy and Rachel Rimmer for an evening of luminous harmonies and raw, unguarded emotion.

The performance captures the immediacy and intimacy of her “rough and ready” acoustic sessions, offering audiences a rare chance to hear Hoop’s songs in their purest form. Her music, discovered early by Tom Waits and championed by Peter Gabriel and Guy Garvey, continues to defy genre, blending folk roots with fearless innovation.
