St. Vincent at Wang Theatre

American musician, singer, songwriter, and producer St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) began her music career in the early 2000s as a member of the Polyphonic Spree. She released her critically acclaimed debut album, Marry Me, in 2007 and was lauded for her layered instrumentation and intelligent lyrics. It was her third studio album, 2011’s Strange Mercy, that served as her US breakthrough, reaching number 11 on the Billboard 200. St. Vincent, her 2014 follow-up, was named album of the year by The Guardian, Entertainment Weekly, NME, and Slant, as well as second best album of the year by Time. It won her the Grammy for Best Alternative Album at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, making her the first solo female performer in 20 years to win a Grammy in that category. The album landed on 18 ‘End of Year’ lists, ranking at number one on six of them. Clark's fifth studio album, Masseducation (2017), earned her Best Rock Song and Best Recordings Package at the Grammy Awards and debuted at number 10 on the Billboard 200. Her sixth and most recent album is 2021’s Daddy’s Home.
