Career
Jo Mango grew up in rural north-east Scotland; she first played in a band as a teenager alongside her twin brother, becoming involved in Aberdeen's music scene, before moving to Glasgow and developing her musical activities there.[2]
Mango has toured extensively as a member of Vashti Bunyan's band,[3][4] since April 2006, throughout North America, Europe, Australia and Japan. In 2007, in the UK, she also featured in the Zero Degrees of Separation tour, becoming an integral part of the band which also features Adem, Juana Molina, Vetiver and Vashti Bunyan.[5] This culminated in a Carnegie Hall show in New York in February, curated by David Byrne.[6]
Jo has also appeared as a solo artist playing shows across the globe in countries such as America, Australia and Japan.[when?] Her tour of America began with a session on Nic Harcourt's show Morning Becomes Eclectic on Santa Monica's KCRW radio station and a performance at South By South West (SXSW) in Austin, Texas.[when?] The Scotland Herald describes Jo Mango's EP When We Lived in The Crook of a Tree as "[a voice] so hushed and precise, that it sounds as if it were recorded inside your own head" (2013).[7]
Mango also holds a PhD in musicology,[8][9] completing the degree in 2012 with the thesis "Experiments in schizoanalysis: a new approach to analysis of conceptual music".[10]
