Mountain Almanac
Almanac brothers (and sisters) band: Bryce and Aaron Dessner with Jessica Dessner and Rebekka Karijord
JESSICA Dessner may be due some of the credit for the success of The National. “There’s a long tradition, from the time we were teenagers, of me playing music for my brothers that I think they should like,” says the poet, dancer, visual artist and sister to that band’s twin guitarists Bryce and Aaron. “I remember in early interviews they used to give credit to their punky older sister playing stuff, and my punky boyfriends coming around to teach them to play drums.”
