Artist Bio

Nora Jane Struthers is "remarkable,” says Ann Powers of NPR Music, and writes music that is “as powerful as anything Jason Isbell released this year.” The songs that last decades and weave themselves into the fabric of listeners' lives are usually the ones in which an artist lays her soul bare for the world to hear. Struthers' new album Champion, released at the close of 2017, is built on these kinds of songs. Struthers wrote and recorded the album with her longtime road band the Party Line, and the chemistry between her and the other players is palpable. Champion is the follow-up to 2015's Wake, and earned Struthers acclaim from major outlets like NPR’s Fresh Air, Rolling Stone, and Vice/Noisey, who raved that “Nora Jane Struthers and her band sound ready to take over Americana completely … bringing a fuller, harder sound to the table.”

Born in Virginia and raised in New Jersey, Nora Jane Struthers grew up playing and singing bluegrass and country music with her banjo-playing father. After a move to Nashville, Tennessee and a brief stint fronting the band Bearfoot, in 2012 she formed her band the Party Line and started taking her songs on the road, backed by her best friends and a sound that blends infectious rock with her folk and country roots. Struthers' voice is pure and unaffected and she delivers her songs with powerful vulnerability. She fronts the band on acoustic and electric guitar and The Party Line is comprised of Joe Overton (banjo, fiddle and steel guitar), Josh Vana (electric guitar and harp), Brian Miller (bass) and Drew Lawhorn (drums).

Now, after two albums and hundreds of performances, the band is known as much for their tight, high energy live show as for Struthers' smart and disarming lyrics. Their 2015 release "Wake" was welcomed with praise by NPR's Fresh Air, Rolling Stone Country, and Amy Poehler's blog Smart Girls.

Notable Performances include Old Settlers, Kerrville, Milwaukee Summerfest, Square Roots, Rhythm & Roots, Festy Experience, Winter Wondergrass, Ann Arbor Folk, Suwannee Springfest, Red Wing Roots, Leaf Festival, Red Ants Pants, Sweet Pea Festival, Oyster Ridge Festival, Red, White, and Bluegrass.

On their new album "Champion" the band worked with acclaimed producer Neilson Hubbard in Nashville, TN. "Champion" will release in 2017.
