I first heard Aimee Mann’s (Wiki) gorgeous voice in the context of Joss Whedon’s most successful TV volley, the iconic Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Her seductive and mysterious voice matched the tone of the series perfectly in her cameo. Ever since, I have kept an eye out for her, hoping to one day catch her live. She dropped by the Strathmore earlier this year, I believe, but I had previous engagements. Given my strong connection of her music to one of the most epic and affective TV series I have ever experienced, I have some high hopes for her performance at Bonnaroo even if her music isn’t the most interesting or original. Her voice alone helps transcend some of these limitations.
