Eliza Thorn and Jade Brodie
With a warm and uninhibited voice, Eliza Thorn is a bright eyed and emergent force, cultivating a characteristic sound. Years of travel and busking have lent an element of grit to her tonality, honing a penchant for honest storytelling in the process.
Her debut album, Somebody New, is an homage to years of heartbreak, fever dream tales from the road, and emotional catharsis. Thorn does not hold back from sincere portrayals of self as she unfolds layers of her own vulnerability along the way; hero or villain – she gives us the full story. Alongside her producer and accomplished musician and songwriter, Mose Wilson, the pair made sure to include contemporary country’s star session players. Chris Scruggs, Dennis Crouch, Jeff Taylor, and Nate Leath gracefully traverse through the history-rich sounds of both retro and modern Nashville, giving the album an innovative yet familiar sound.
Thorn tips a proverbial hat to her idols, spanning from Bob Wills to The Ronettes and Howlin’ Wolf. Her melodic, quirky, and evocative songwriting style cherishes traditional elements from legacy artists while proudly showcasing her fresh approach. At her core, she remains committed to maintaining an authentically playful presentation, both on and offstage, as her debut album takes Music City by storm. Somebody New was released independently on September 13th, 2024.
Jade Brodie will be opening the night with a set her gorgeous and tough songs. Her songs are recognizable as well as transporting, as she weaves together tales of her working life in railroad work and cowboying and her emotional refrains of what it means to her. Her songs are catchy, forceful, and melodic, much like the land and work she has engaged in. Earlier this year she released her much adored album “Horse Money.” She is a delight to see perform. Come see her again, or for the first time. You won’t be disappointed.
