Rooted in Southern musical traditions and infused with confessional 90s angst, the music of New Orleans Americana artist Ever More Nest can likewise lull you to dream and rock you right off a front porch. A native of North Louisiana, Ever More Nest’s Kelcy Wilburn (“Kelcy Mae”) was equally influenced by the gospel, country, and blues of her Bible Belt hometown as she was by the emotional rawness of the artists that consumed her generation: The Cranberries, Counting Crows, Tori Amos, Radiohead, et
al. At 18, she moved to New Orleans, where open-mindedness and acceptance gave her the freedom to be herself and to find her voice. Her single “What’s Gone is Gone” reached #1 on the RMR Contemporary Folk Songs Chart. Listen at evermorenest.com.

and emoting with sly finesse. wileygaby.com
