Foothills Harpist Joanna Newsom in NYT magazine

Foothills harpist and music sensation Joanna Newsom is getting more ink nowadays, ranging from the New York Times magazine to People magazine.

Newsom — the daughter of doctors Bill and Christine Newsom — is profiled in a lengthly article in the New York Times magazine.

The Times calls Joanna one of indie music’s “leading lights.” It refers to her hometown of Nevada City as a “bucolic Northern California town with a reputation as a counterculture bastion,” as well as to an interview at the National Hotel, “a landmarked building on Nevada City’s hilly main drag.”

Joanna’s also getting some ink in People mangazine and the Washington Post. According to media accounts, she’s dating Andy Samberg of Saturday Night Live fame.

According to the Post: “Andy Samberg (black denim, black top, big hair) venturing into the White House’s Northwest Gate Monday morning holding hands with singer-harpist Joanna Newsom. Also with some guy in a hoodie. Turns out that Maureen Dowd spotted the couple dining at Blue Duck on Sunday (Newsom’s playing the Sixth & I Synagogue on Tuesday) and arranged for the ‘Saturday Night Live’ star to visit his comedic avatar Rahm Emanuel. (Actually, she suggested Samberg go to the Hill that night to help double-team any health-care holdouts; apparently he wasn’t needed.)”
