Evocative vocalist and composer Mim Crellin unveils her debut album, ‘All Our Little Boxes’—an intimate and genre-defying storytelling experience.
Mim Crellin returns to Nexus for a second performance of her poignant song cycle, ‘All Our Little Boxes,’ this time to celebrate the release of her debut album. The song cycle is autobiographical and chronological, taking the listener through tumultuous and tender moments in the artist’s life. The scene is set with an intercontinental pandemic love story, and develops into an honest depiction of her journey through breast cancer treatment. Crellin’s beautifully crafted writing balances elements of jazz and chamber music, while her lyrics offer a deep and introspective dimension to this compelling narrative.
