Singer-songwriter Priscilla Ahn embarked upon her career the old-fashioned way: she packed her belongings in a car—“two guitars, clothes, and some other junk I really didn't need to bring”—and left her Pennsylvania home for L.A. That she quickly found steady gigs at the Hotel Café, a supportive circle of fellow artists including Joshua Radin who took her out on tour, and a record deal with Blue Note Records will come as no surprise after a single listen to “Dream,” the lilting opening track of A Good Day, her full-length debut, which PASTE magazine called “a classic folk album for the iPod generation.” Ahn artfully balances youthful whimsy and grown-up sophistication, playing guitar and singing in a warm, welcoming, and stunningly self-assured voice.
