Eclectic indie-folk outfit Thao & the Get Down Stay Down performs at The Current<br />
April 1, <strong>2013</strong><br />
San Francisco's Thao & the Get Down Stay Down is the vehicle for the thoughtful indie<br />
folk-rock lyricism of singer-songwriter Thao Nguyen. Over the course of five albums and<br />
multiple singles (plus celebrated collaborations like her 2011 LP with indie-pop artist<br />
Mirah), she's developed a stripped-down, cerebral but deeply relatable voice that's earned<br />
her a sizable and devoted following.
