My Brightest Diamond

My Brightest Diamond is a chamber pop band led by singer-songwriter Shara Nova, which was formed in New York City, NY, USA (2006). Nova is the granddaughter of an epiphone-playing traveling evangelist; her father was a National Accordion Champion and her mother a classical organist. Having a family of wanderers who migrated across the U.S. every few years, the landscape and the musical influences were constantly changing: Spanish tangos, Sunday morning gospel, classical and jazz were the accompaniment to her home life.
