Detroit songwriter Alex Maniak may have a limited discography at the moment, but she’s come a long way in just two years with her project Shortly.
For some time, Shortly only had one studio single in the bag, but she’s already opened for The Decemberists, Mitski, and Phoebe Bridgers and has graciously performed alongside Bon Iver and St. Vincent. Shortly’s five-song debut EP Richmond came out in September and tonight she takes the stage at the Mohawk.
Richmond is full of Maniak’s floating vocals, dreamy guitar and melancholy tones and you can get a start on Shortly with the album opener, “Finders Keepers”!
