Pyeng Threadgill sings "New Porch Music" crafting an intimate journey through folk and jazz with afro-electronic inflections. Her fourth solo album and multimedia project entitled Head Full of Hair, Heart Full of Song, shines a light on hair, adornment and ancestry, and the societal and political as well as spiritual conflicts therein. Since 2004, Pyeng has released three other albums journeying from blues to jazz, folk to soul and spoken word: Sweet Home: The Music of Robert Johnson (Random Chance), Of the Air (Random Chance), Portholes to a Love & Other Short Stories, which was awarded a fellowship in Music Composition from New York Foundation For the Arts.
