Liner notes

• Mikaela Davis will play The Drake in Amherst on June 22.

Hailing from Rochester, New York, Davis earned a degree in harp performance at the Crane School of Music and brings her classical music training to pop melodies that combine psychedelia and folk rock. In the span of five years since her debut album, “Delivery,” Davis has shared the stage with notable artists such as Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Christian McBride, Bon Iver, and Lake Street Dive. Her new album is “And Southern Star.”

“I finally feel like this album is more me than anything else that’s been released,” Davis said of the record.

• Longtime ABBA guitarist Lasse Wellander has died at the age of 70. Wellander, who played on 24 classic tracks by Swedish pop supergroup, died following a short battle with cancer, his family said in a statement. A Facebook post said, “It is with indescribable sadness that we have to announce that our beloved Lasse has fallen asleep. You were an amazing musician and humble as few, but above all you were a wonderful husband, father, brother, uncle and grandfather.”
