Ken Pomeroy exists in the intersection of past, present and future; effortlessly channeling the ancestral wisdom of her elders and her lived experience through her lyrical and instrumental composition. Writing as a cathartic release has culminated in Pomeroy’s highly anticipated album, Cruel Joke. The 12-track contemporary folk collection creates a wild but safe space of Pomeroy’s own––a space that, like 22-year-old Pomeroy, is brutally honest, proudly Native American, and undeniably brilliant.
