DEBUT U.S. HEADLINE TOUR THIS FALL
2 August 2018 (Toronto, ON) - “Uh Huh”, the new single from breakout singer, songwriter and performer Jade Bird, is out today on Glassnote Records/Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company. . Stream/download it here “Uh Huh” HERE.
Of the song, Jade says, “I think this song shows a whole other side to me and is a new shade to my music and songwriting. I wanted to record the song live with my band to capture the energy we have when we perform it on stage. I have always been obsessed with that raw, band-in-a-room sound, and I am so happy with the result. It’s got an attitude that is a big part of who I am and what I write about.”
Additionally, Jade confirms new shows with Brandi Carlile at the end of this month. The dates lead into her first official headlining tour this fall, which will include stops at Los Angeles’ Troubadour, New York City’s Bowery Ballroom, Chicago’s Lincoln Hall and more. See below for details.
Jade, who is currently in the studio working on her debut full-length, continues to receive widespread critical acclaim for her 2017 EP Something American, as well as songs “Lottery”, and “Furious.”
“…channeling the storytelling of Americana-country godmothers like she sold her cold tea-sipping English soul to the devil for some of distilled Loretta Lynn essence. However, despite obvious comparisons to country queens, she’s got that dry-as-hell humor and animal-cry growl of heartbreak, which can boil up to explosion and back down to a sweet whisper in one chorus…which places her firmly in the lineage of power-chord wielding solo female icons like Alanis Morissette, Liz Phair, Fiona Apple and more.”—Paper Magazine
“With multifaceted potential, there’s no telling
where this Bird will land.”—NPR's Morning Edition
“…an English songwriter with a country-rock streak and a furious
rasp when she gets riled…”—The New York Times
“Jade Bird is serious about being a feminist role model”—Refinery29
Born in Hexham, U.K., Jade’s early life was spent mainly in flight with both parents in the army. 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, as well as current influences including Haim and Christine and the Queens. Jade spoke with Noisey about the influence of these and other women on her music.
