SUMMARY:Thursday Sessions with JESS JOCOY :: atmospheric-americana LIVE in the Roots
DESCRIPTION:PURCHASE TICKETS HERE.\nConnect authentically to the artists by hearing them in our “speakeasy”-styled intimate listening room\, the Roots\, located underground beneath the Canopy social house. Hear the stories behind the songs as the artist(s) share their inspiration and even their heartaches. Doors open at 8:00pm; show starts at 8:30pm; balcony seating available for VIP add-on or members only. Locally-sourced craft beer and wine available for purchase. Masks are NOT required for entry; touchless temperature screening upon ticket scan. Thank you for helping us help everyone enjoy a SAFE (and state-compliant) evening of live music. Tickets are available at the door\, online\, or call the store for advance purchase.\nJess Jocoy makes atmospheric Americana for rainy days and twilight hours. It’s an ethereal sound with organic roots\, anchored by a longtime love of country music\, a storyteller’s nuanced delivery\, and a folksinger’s finesse. A sound that blurs the lines between genres\, creating its own blend of twang and texture along the way.\nRaised two hours south of Seattle\, Jess grew up beneath the drizzling skies and lush landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. “I’m a mountain girl at heart\,” she says\, nodding to the scenery that shaped albums like her acclaimed debut\, Such a Long Way\, and its 2021 follow-up\, Brighter Eyes\, with the woozy\, watercolored beauty of her native Washington. She created both records in her adopted hometown of Nashville\, a city whose songwriters had first captivated her attention as a child. Morning after morning\, a young Jess would listen to records by Alan Jackson\, Miranda Lambert\, and Shania Twain on her way to school\, building the foundation for the unique sound — a blend of northwestern and southeastern influences — that would eventually take her across America. \nJess’ cross-country travels were brought to a stop in 2020\, when the Covid-19 pandemic halted her touring career. At the time\, she was riding a wave of critical acclaim for Such a Long Way\, a debut album inspired by grief\, gratitude\, the loss of her father\, and the love of creating music. No Depression hailed the record’s “insightful\, open-hearted songs” and “smooth blend of traditional country and folk sounds\,” while American Songwriter praised the “mournful effervescence” of songs like “The Ballad of Two Lovers.” The iconic radio station WSM\, home to the Grand Ole Opry since 1925\, made Jess their “Artist of the Week\,” and her music even made its way onto national television\, where she performed “Easy” during an episode of NBC’s Songland. Those childhood dreams of making her mark in the same town as her musical heroes had finally started to come true\, only to be postponed by a disease that sent the entire world indoors.\nBrighter Eyes was created during those long months spent inside. It’s a self-produced EP about perspective\, filled with songs that explore new storytelling techniques while doubling down on Jess Jocoy’s glimmering sound. She relishes a break from the rat race with the title track\, whose cinematic arrangement makes room for waltzing percussion\, swooning pedal steel\, and contributions from harmonica legend Mickey Raphael. “Constellations” finds her delivering a breezy blast of front-porch folk\, while “Winter” weaves her voice between clouds of reverb and Telecaster guitar. On “Mansion on a Hill\,” she even delivers a nostalgic love song from a husband’s viewpoint. “Just because you’re a woman\, you don’t have to sing about love only from a woman’s perspective\,” she says of the latter song\, whose gender-flipping narration recalls John Prine’s “Angel From Montgomery.” “A great story can be told by anybody.” \nJess Jocoy knows a thing or two about great stories. She’s been writing them for years\, mixing autobiography with richly-imagined fiction\, gluing the whole thing together with a voice that’s every bit as evocative as her songwriting. Brighter Eyes begins a new chapter in her own story\, marking the spot where Jess learned to savor the present while pushing forward toward a better future. \n“I’ve learned how to say\, “It’s ok to have moments of rest\,'” she says. “It doesn’t lessen your ambition. Once I finally wrapped my head around that idea\, I started to see the world with brighter eyes and a new perspective. I started to see music itself in a different light.” \nWith Brighter Eyes\, Jess Jocoy shines on. \n\nWebsite: https://jessjocoy.com\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jessjocoy/\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jessjocoymusic/\nSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/6LgbXi2f45Xd50VqCPs6Qs?si=WoBVZvqaSJCCETqFPsZt8Q \nLive performance: “Castles Made of Sand” (live at Bluebird Cafe)\nAcoustic Video: “Hope (Such A Long Way)”\n\n—\nSTREAMING:\nTidal – Rising: Folk (Somebody Somewhere) + Cover Feature\nNo Depression – Best Albums of April 2020 (Existential Crossroads)\nDittyTV – Ditty Dozen\n\nAmerican Songwriter “The Ballad of Two Lovers” Track Premiere: “…[the song] has a kind of mournful effervescence as it examines some of the hardest emotions to endure (and the hope that can still exist in the most difficult times). …a moving tribute to love’s dysfunction\, and it shows that something beautiful can still come out of even such a sad situation.”\nAmerican Songwriter “One [Wo]man Band: Coping with COVID-19 Fallout” Essay by Jess Jocoy\n \nGlide Magazine Full Album Stream Premiere:“With its rootsy and heartfelt blend of Americana\, folk and country\, the album finds Jocoy using music to explore what it means to find your place and purpose in the world. …With a powerful voice and an old soul that can be heard in her lyrics\, Jocoy lets her own life experiences transpire to the music\, which itself can veer from sparse and twangy rock… to quiet folk… to big sweeping soul… and bluesy\, poignant roots music… Throughout the album we hear an artist who balances serious songwriting chops with a commanding\, confident voice. …Such a Long Way is an exciting collection of songs from an artist we will undoubtedly be hearing more from in the future.” \n \nNo Depression Album Review: “Jess Jocoy Sings Plainly and Poignantly on Debut Such A Long Way”\n \nThe Boot “Love Her Wild” Track Premiere: “… the slow-burning ode to strong women everywhere.” \n \nAmericana Highways: “Aching to Feel Alive” Track + Lyric Video Premiere & Album Review:“Jocoy sings in a voice that is pure and pretty.

SUMMARY:Lauren Anderson :: Gritty Blues-Rock LIVE in the Roots
DESCRIPTION:Get TICKETS here.\nIntimately connect to both artist and venue in our lush\, speakeasy-style\, 50 seat listening room. Hear the stories behind the all-original songs as the artist(s) share their inspiration and even their heartaches. \nDoors open at 7:00pm; show starts at 7:30pm; balcony seating with table service available for add-on; table seating with limited availablity on main floor. Locally-sourced craft beer and wine available for purchase.  \nLAUREN ANDERSON\n\nLauren Anderson isn’t shy about sharing her influences. Indeed\, there have been any number of classic and contemporary artists that have left an indelible impression on the musical mantra she’s pursued over the course of her career — Bonnie Raitt\, Etta James\, Eva Cassidy\, Nina Simone\, Whitney Houston\, Beyonce\, and the Pointer Sisters\, among them. Yet\, at the same time\, Anderson isn’t bound to any particular parameters. Instead she’s managed to incorporate those influences into a pursuit of her own passion. It’s a musical journey that continues to flourish\, bringing her growing recognition as a celebrated singer and songwriter with her own contemporary credence.\n\nThat trajectory has accelerated rapidly over the course of the past seven years with the release of three EPs — Do & Hope\, The Game and Won’t Stay Down — and her first full-length album\, 2015’s Truly Me. In the meantime\, the accolades have kept coming. She was named the 2015 Female Vocalist of the Year by the Midwest Music Awards\, took a first-place finish in the 2018 Wing Dang Doodle Competition and watched with pride as The Game became entrenched in the Top 50 of the Billboard Blues chart five weeks in a row.\n\nThe press took notice as well. Blues Blast Magazine described said of her\, “Lauren has a strong voice with touch of grit.” Rhythm & Booze noted that she has “ a fabulous powerhouse voice you can’t ignore.”  Another publication noted: ”With one foot planted in the territory of her influences and the other pointed in an unexplored direction\, she straddles the border between blues\, soul\, and guitar-driven rock & roll\, finding her own sound somewhere in the middle.”\n\nMeanwhile\, Anderson’s expanded her following while continuing to reap that critical acclaim. A determined dynamo of a performer adept at both blues and ballads\, she’s ready to add to those accolades with her upcoming album Love On the Rocks\, her most fully realized effort to date. Self-produced and due for independent release this summer\, it will be preceded by four singles slated to appear each month prior to the entire album’s appearance in August — “Stand Still” (April)\, “Back to Chicago” (May)\, “Holdin’ Me Down” (June)\, and “Love On the Rocks” (July).  Each offering finds her expounding on the soulful\, seductive style that allows her to break down the boundaries between rock\, blues and classic R&B. Not surprisingly then\, the new album fully reflects her own singular sound\, courtesy of a varied set of songs that mostly draw from her own experience. Seven of the nine tracks were written during the pandemic\, when Anderson claims she wrote a song a day for three weeks in a row.\n\n“Keep On\,” the first of the singles\, is a wailing and riveting gospel-sounding entry. It was accompanied by a music video that included stark images of the pandemic: https://youtu.be/dMkF04TOUSo.\n\nShe describes the stoic yet soulful “Stand Still” as a more Americana-sounding song\, but the message resonates as well. “It’s about what it feels like when you’re stuck and not going anywhere\,” Anderson says. “Still\, that’s okay when you’re there with someone you love.” Anderson calls “Love on the Rocks\,” a co-write with Sandy Ramos and Laureen Smith\, a true collaborative effort. “I came up with the chorus\, but then I got stuck so I brought it to those two ladies and together we finished the song\,” she recalls. “Ironically\, this was the last song I chose to include on this album\, and when the band and I went into the studio\, we had yet to run through it together at that point. I wasn’t sure how it would sound with the full band\, but as soon as everyone started jamming on it\, it came alive. I chose to make it the title track\, and it quickly became one of my favorite songs on the album.”The subtle yet sensual “Holdin’ Me Down” falls under the category of a break-up song. “I sent my guys an acoustic version\, and when we got together to run through it before going into the studio\, Hutch\, my bassist\, came with this badass guitar part\,” Anderson explains. “It really solidifies the soulful 90’s-sounding R&B vibe that the song seemed to call for.”\n\nOther highlights include “Back to Chicago\,” a performance that combines Anderson’s robust vocals and a sassy\, soulful strut with some ripping fretwork from special guest and guitar great Mike Zito. “I’m Done” and “Just F***ing Begun” are propulsive rockers that allow the energy to soar into the stratosphere. On the other hand\, the easy sway of “The Way I Want” and the resilient resolve implied by “Your Turn” help provide a decided shift in tone and tempo.\n“This album is very true to me\,” Anderson reflects. “I was trying to consciously choose songs for this album that worked well together. I definitely feel like I pulled from some of my seminal influences and was able to find them a fit on each of these tunes.”More about Lauren Anderson:\n\nIt’s hardly surprisingly then that music has been a vital part of Anderson’s life since early on. Born in Chicago\, her interests were nourished by a family where music played an important part. She first delved into it at the age of eight when she began taking classical piano lessons. That\, in turn\, led her to sing in a choir and eventually undertake classical voice training while still in high school. After attaining a bachelors degree in music\, she earned a Masters Degree in Music Therapy from the University of Kansas.\n\nFollowing her graduation in 2012\, she became a music therapist\, working with children and at-risk youth. Yet while she relished the experience\, she began to realize that live performance was her true calling. She briefly considered becoming an opera singer\, but quickly decided that the world of popular music was more suited to her style. At first she performed solo\, but later she shared her talents with a band. Then\, after recording a pair of singles at the iconic Ocean Way Studio’s on Nashville’s famed Music Row\, she decided to make a permanent move from Kansas City to Music City in 2017. She now tours full time and continues to make music with an energy and enthusiasm that’s fully invested in the new album.\n\nLove on the Rocks — At a Glance:\n\nAll songs written by Lauren Anderson\n“Love on the Rocks” co-written by Sandy Ramos & Laureen Smith Produced by Lauren Anderson with assistance from the musicians and Taylor Lonardo\n\nRecorded at Taylor Lonardo Studios\nEngineered\, mixed and mastered by Taylor Lonardo\n\nDrums – Matt Doctor\nBass – Hutch\nGuitar – Jimi Greene\nKeys/Organ – Kiran Gupta\nStrings – Jon and Liz Estes\nGuest Guitarist on “Back to Chicago” – Mike Zito\n\n\nGet TICKETS here.
