Another Nashville-based country/blues artist for today. She's playing the Lone Star day party on Saturday, Colton House on Friday, as well as a showcase at White Horse and a gig at Devil's Backbone.
Here is her background from this interview:
I’m just kind of this feral rat kid that came from rural western Connecticut. Our little town had one real store, called Eastern Village. It sold sub sandwiches and wraps. There was an antique store, and not a stop light but a yellow blinking light at the time. Growing up it was all we had, so we spent a lot of time in nature. There was a post-Woodstock group of folks who migrated from upstate New York over here. And my mom was a native New Yorker. She moved to Connecticut because my grandparents had moved to Connecticut to kind of restart life in a more rural environment. My grandma was a playwright in New York City, but retired out of it as I grew up. She had some notable plays. Her biggest was called, Seven, which toured internationally. She wrote books too.
She's led quite an adventurous life on the road. It's worth a read.
Saving Country Music says:
Similar to other fast-rising country and roots musicians of our era such as Charley Crockett, Sierra Farrell, and Melissa Carper, Eliza Thorn is slightly less interested in “genre,” and more attune to how “era” can help define how her songs unfold, using a wide array of sounds to capture the ideal mood for each one of her original tunes.
Commenters compare her sound to Melissa Carper.
"Fool" is a good two-stepping honky-tonk song.
She did a live session at Dee's if you want to listen to a 2 hour show.
"Moonshined" has an old Sierra Ferrell feel.
Here she is live at Acme Feed & Seed.
