PERFORMS AT STAGECOACH FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND
TOURING WITH COLTER WALL NOW
“Lottery,” the breakout single from Jade Bird, is #1 at Triple A Radio—she is the first new artist to reach #1 in 2018. Most recently, Jade performed the song on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” Watch here: https://bit.ly/2Jj0tJB.
Jade continues to receive widespread critical praise for “Lottery,” as well as her 2017 debut EP Something American, out now on Glassnote Records:
“…an English songwriter with a country-rock streak and a furious
rasp when she gets riled…”—The New York Times
“…her outlaw spirit, fiery riffs and ready-to-roar vocals illustrated everyday
gender dynamics…”—Los Angeles Times
“…on paper there is no way to describe the power that is
Jade Elizabeth Bird’s voice.”— Brooklyn Vegan
“[‘Lottery’ is] a treat of a track, complete with playful wordplay, ebb and flow—and that Clapton-meets-Feist style Bird has carved out for herself since the release of her 2017 EP, Something American. With that successful debut under her belt, and this single in her very capable hands, we’re pretty sure we’ll be betting on Jade Bird for years to come.”—NPR Music
Additionally, Jade won the 2018 Grulke Prize for developing non-U.S. act at this year’s SXSW, and she’s set to perform on KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic” April 26.
Jade will perform at Stagecoach Festival this Friday, April 27 and continue to tour throughout the U.S. this summer supporting Colter Wall as well as First Aid Kit and Anderson East. See below for more details.
Born in Hexham, U.K., Jade’s early life was spent mainly in flight as an “army brat.” One of life’s few constants proved to be the influence of strong working women. At first via her mother and grandmother, who largely raised her, but later the female role models within the musical subcultures Jade become obsessed with: from empowering country heroines like Loretta Lynn to iconic alternative songwriters like Patti Smith; Alanis Morisette’s Jagged Little Pill was a similar early touchstone. Jade also recently spoke with Noisey about the influence of these and other women on her music.
