Check out the interview Nora Jane did with American Songwriter here!
Calling Nora Jane a “rising star”, Billboard Magazine’s “The 615” blog exclusively premiered the latest single, “Let Go” off Nora Jane Struthers & The Party’s Line new record, Wake.
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.
Wake releases to the public on February 24, 2014. However, you can listen to “The Same Road” now, and also get early access to “Wake” by supporting Nora Jane’s Kickstarter campaign today!

Ann Powers, for NPR Music, includes Nora Jane Struthers & The Party Line in a small group of musicians, spanning several genres, who she identifies as successfully borrowing sound to create something original. Here’s what she writes about NJS & TPL:
Nora Jane Struthers makes bluegrass music that reminds us of how contemporary that strain of country music was when it emerged in the mid-twentieth century. The Nashville-based Struthers and her band, The Party Line, display an easy camaraderie that leaves room for virtuoso turns without ever letting their songs be consumed by showoff picking. What really makes Struthers special, however, is her songwriting. On her third album , released in March, Struthers — who grew up in New Jersey and has a from NYU — employs the high lonesome bluegrass sound to tell stories of adventure with a subtle feminist twist. Along with Sara Watkins, Aoife O’Donovan and Abigail Washburn, Struthers is an upstart spiritual daughter of Alison Krauss, creating a space within the competitive fraternity of bluegrass for women’s stories and women’s virtuosity.
