Nora O'Connor
1 concert
Angela James
Genre: Rock, Pop, Indie/Alt
Nora O'Connor has been an in-demand backup singer/multi-instrumentalist for decades, performing around the world with Iron and Wine, The Decemberists, Andrew Bird, Robbie Fulks, Neko Case, The New Pornographers, and Chicago super group the Flat Five, to name a few. Her latest solo release My Heart (Pravda Records) got her back on the road playing shows across the country. Nora is currently working on her fourth album.
Angela James voice elicits comparisons to classic country artists Patsy Cline and Hazel Dickens, while her emotionally forthright songwriting and penchant for experimentation place her directly in the present. Over the span of 4 records and a 10-year career, her work speaks to horizons in progressive Americana in a way that feels both indebted to and freed from the strictures of time. Her music has been called smoldering and gorgeous by the Chicago Reader and featured in the Chicago Tribune, NPR, and Tiny Mix Tapes (RIP), among others.
Her latest project is a conceptual cycle of songs imagining the lives of her matrilineal ancestors she's never met. Born and raised in TN, with sojourns in Mississippi and Brazil, James lives in Chicago with partner, visual artist/organizer Jordan Martins, and is a proud caregiver to an eight-year-old daughter.
