Crescent Ulmer to perform new album at Bishop tonight

Singer-songwriter Crescent Ulmer will perform at the Bishop tonight in celebration of her new album, “Creature Comforts.” The show will start at 9:30 p.m. Cover is $8.

The cover charge will decrease to $4 when all of the albums are sold, and download codes are available for the first 50 people who purchase an album.

The show is open to those 18 years of age and older.

Last summer, Ulmer was voted Bloomington’s best singer-songwriter. After a Kickstarter campaign, she was able to book time in a studio to record an album.

Ulmer gets inspiration from multiple genres, including jazz, hip-hop, folk and punk rock, according to a press release. It all accumulates in her acoustic sound. She cites influences such as Blink 182, Lauryn Hill and Dashboard Confessional.

Originally from Indianapolis, Ulmer has been frequenting Indiana venues since 2010.
In addition to Ulmer’s performance, Bloomington-based artist Kate Siefker will perform her solo act, “Follies.” 

Follies has a progressive, rhythmic folk sound created by percussive textures and harmonies, according to a press release. Siefker mixes, produces and records everything herself.
