/ JOHANNA WARREN /
Thursday, November 6th
The Hidden Temple | Florence, MA
7pm - 10pm
Returning to the US from her home in rural Wales, songwriter Johanna Warren brings her hauntingly beautiful, mystically-woven folk to the dreamy space of The Hidden Temple.
Johanna's music is a fearless excavation of the shadow — unafraid to transform the darkest corners of being human into spellbinding melodies that invite reflection and acceptance. Across six critically-acclaimed albums including Chaotic Good (2020) and Lessons for Mutants (2022), she has carved out a distinctive space where vulnerability becomes power, where the many parts of self are honored in all their complexity wrapped in hauntingly ethereal vocals.
“I think it’s a mistake to equate ‘perfection’ with flawlessness. To be human is to be perfectly flawed.” — Johanna Warren

/ Merging Music & Botanicals /
Warren is not only a musician but also an herbalist, and for this special evening she’s invited local “plant people” to collaborate. Mid-concert, Laura Torraco of Sage Green Botanicals in Greenfield ( sagegreenbotanicals.me ) - and more to be announced - will share musings, knowledge, and ways to get involved in the local herbalism community.
The evening will also feature a botanical elixir bar with plant-crafted potions and tonics.
Opening set by Daniel Wininger

My drumming is influenced by West African rhythm, Hip Hop, Latin percussion, Middle Eastern Rhythm, minimalism, shamanic trance music, electronic music, ASMR, "avant-garde," Nature, crickets, dogs, the wind, myself, and some kinda spirit. It's perpetually a call-and-response between different parts of the rhythm I create, if not the rhythms around me. I've been drumming since I was 10.
