Pedestrian At Best – Courtney Barnett

Courtney Barnett, who debuted last year and was nominated for the Best New Artist Grammy, hails from Australia.

Contrary to her calm appearance, her songs have a rock sound and she’s a very captivating and cool artist.

I’m personally very fond of the way she holds her guitar as a lefty.
