Crooked Still’s Aoife O’Donovan comes into her own

Last year, you couldn’t escape Boston’s Aoife O’Donovan, who has become something of a muse to her contemporaries working in modern Americana. As a guest vocalist, she contributed to records by Noam Pikelny, the acclaimed banjo player who’s part of Punch Brothers, with whom she also toured for a bit.
