NPR’s Music’s Ann Powers has today debuted Nora Jane Struthers’ & The Party Line’s first song, “The Same Road” off their to-be-released new album, Wake.  Describing Nora Jane as creating “some of the most quietly powerful narratives within the new wave of Americana artists“, Powers calls Nora Jane “a serious woman with a light heart“, and says “the sound of the Party Line has progressed to include propulsive electric guitar and drums, and Struthers’ sweet voice is showing an edge, the better to meet the challenge.”  She says that “The Same Road,” “should make anyone excited to hear the whole thing.”

The song is also featured in Songs We Love carousel on the NPR Music homepage.

Dear Friends,

So many artists are turning to Fan-Funding to create art.  So many music fans ask me why?

Here’s my 2 cents:

I have 9 more days to reach my goal on my Kickstarter Campaign or my project won’t be funded.

You can support my art by Pre-Ordering my new album WAKE right now on Kickstarter:

Thank you for all of your support! I cannot do this without you!

Love,

Nora Jane

Dear Friends,

I am feeling so grateful for all the support my Kickstarter has already received.  So to return the love, I made you a mixtape!

Here are three songs I wrote for individuals who backed the Carnival Kickstarter and chose the $1,000 Reward: tell me your story and I’ll write you a song.  The song “The Other Side” actually made it on to our new album, WAKE.

The Other Side – written for Martha who wanted a song about growing up in a small town/rural area, not feeling like she fit in, and wanting to get out and see the world.

Lonnie and Janice – written for Jan who wanted to immortalize her parents’ first date and love story, which happens to involve pimento cheese.

Cold and Lonely Dark – written for Paul who has had an incredibly difficult life and wanted me to capture some of that pain in a song for him.

Thanks for reading friends!

Love,

Nora Jane
