Hester Rame is an artist and songwriter whose music evokes the haunting quote from author Anne Lamott, “If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.” Rame quit music altogether for nearly a decade, barely touching her piano in that time and feeling incapable of allowing herself to become inspired, let alone create. It is now apparent that her self imposed exile was necessary to begin healing from a lifetime of trauma. The dark recurrent themes of her melancholic alternative music coupled with her rich, full bodied vocals spare no details in revealing the searing reality of her past.
