Austin singer/songwriter Amy Cook has a lot of friends, a few of which will be joining her for a show at the Mohawk Wednesday. She’ll be headlining with a full band at her back and the addition of the orchestral grace of Austin’s Tosca String Quartet. Local folk rock musician and songwriter Ben Kweller will open the show and possibly trade a song or two with Cook. Both Kweller and the Tosca String Quartet contributed to the production of Cook’s upcoming album, Let the Light In, which is scheduled for release in early 2010. The album also includes contributions from Patty Griffin and Alejandro Escovedo, who is also the record’s producer.

Cook will perform new tunes off Let the Light In, including the spooky rock number “Moonrise” and the emotionally evoking folkie “Hotel Lights”, as well as songs from previous recordings such as 2007’s The Sky Observer’s Guide. You can also check out some of her older songs on a documentary about Cook just released called Amy Cook: The Spaces In Between, which is airing on the Documentary Channel later this month.
