Listen & Watch: New indie-pop harpist Mikaela Davis live at NCPR

Harpist, singer and songwriter Mikaela Davis is not your average college student. She’s making a big name for herself as an indie-pop harpist. She’s just released her new EP, Fortune Teller, completed a fifteen-stop tour, and she’s just started her last semester at Crane School of Music in Potsdam, NY.

On January 22, 2014 she visited the NCPR Studio, played a few of her songs, and chatted with NCPR’s Claire Woodcock about her music.

During her session, she performed three of her recent songs:

• River
• Lady Lavender
• When the White Horse Takes me Away

While she was tuning up, she talked a bit with NCPR’s Zach Hirsch:

Here’s the full music/interview segment produced by Claire Woodcock and broadcast on The Eight O’Clock Hour on January 29, 2014:

Freelance videographer Meghan Oretsky was also on hand for the session and produced videos of each of the songs Mikaela performed.
