Description

Like the farming homesteaders of her native Mississippi River Delta, Ever More Nest builds houses of emotion among fields of mercy, forests of fears, and streams of consciousness. These are houses that are lived in, that draw in visitors to comfortable confines with the promise of warmth despite the dust, grit, and dangers of the day. Ever More Nest is the Americana music project of Kelcy Mae Wilburn, a New Orleans-based musician and writer, bandleader, queer woman, Pisces, and modern-day transcendentalist. Ever More Nest tours the US, playing festivals such as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and Milwaukee's Summerfest in addition to venues and listening rooms ranging from quaint bar rooms to the John F. Kennedy Center. Prior to embodying alt-country outfit Ever More Nest, Kelcy Mae released three earlier folk/rock albums. Her sophomore album, Out Here Now, a personal and spiritual exploration of loneliness, growth, vulnerability and transformation. The follow-up to EMN's debut album, The Place That You Call Home (2018), Out Here Now builds upon the immersive sounds and themes of its predecessor with textures, tones, and lyricism that delve deep into what makes us human. An 11-song, Americana / country-folk journey to and celebration of the soul, the music of Out Here Now lends itself well to the active-listeners, the dreamers, the travelers and seekers. Rooted in Southern musical traditions and infused with confessional 90s angst, the music of Ever More Nest can likewise lull and rock you right off a front porch. Ever More Nest’s dynamic, homegrown voice—hugged by lush, church-pew harmonies— is complemented by ghostly, effusive guitars, spirited mandolin and banjo, mournful fiddle, and a rhythm section steady as a country train. evermorenest.com nunu81822.eventbrite.com nunu.eventbrite.com nunucollective.org
