Kerry Andrew has been performing as You Are Wolf since 2011, exploring English and American folk and original leftfield pop with touches of electronica, spoken word and wild vocal techniques. On Saturday 30 September 2017, she joins experimental Swiss percussionist Serge Vuille and composer Jack Sheen for 2017's first BBC Radio 3 Open Ear concert, an evening of cutting-edge contemporary music at LSO St Luke's. Ahead of her performance, Kerry gave us some insight into the driving forces behind her forthcoming album, and what we can expect from You Are Wolf on 30 September.
