NORA JANE STRUTHERS at Green at the Paddock FOXHALL RESORT

Nora Jane Struthers is "remarkable, says Ann Powers of NPR Music, and writes music that is as powerful as anything Jason Isbell released this year. The songs that last decades and weave themselves into the fabric of listeners' lives are usually the ones in which an artist lays her soul bare for the world to hear. Struthers' new album Champion, released at the close of 2017, is built on these kinds of songs. Struthers wrote and recorded the album with her longtime road band the Party Line, and the chemistry between her and the other players is palpable. Champion is the follow-up to 2015's Wake, and earned Struthers acclaim from major outlets like NPRs Fresh Air, Rolling Stone, and Vice/Noisey, who raved that Nora Jane Struthers and her band sound ready to take over Americana completely bringing a fuller, harder sound to the table.

There's an honesty and energy to Nora Janes stage presence; a vulnerability that is part and parcel of great artistry. In one moment, she joyfully leads the audience in a dance party in the next, she lays her soul bare for the world to hear. A performance by Nora Jane and her band is full to the brim with stellar musicianship, unexpected arrangements that blur the lines between folk, roots, and rock, and an audible sense that everyone in the room is having a damn good time.
