Information
Doors 7PM | Show 8PM $20 ADV | $25 DOSJenny Owens Young with her exceptional new Yep Roc debut, Avalanche, Youngs delivers a main course worthy of the wait. Written with a series of friends including S. Carey, Madi Diaz, The Antlers Peter Silberman, and Christian Lee Hutson and recorded with producer Josh Kaufman (Bonny Light Horseman, The Hold Steady, Cassandra Jenkins, Josh Ritter), the collection is an achingly beautiful exploration of loss, resilience, and growth from an artist whos experienced more than her fair share of each in recent years.Theres a good deal of heartbreak and disappointment in this music, Youngs explains, but it ultimately gives way to excitement and promise, to the incredible, immeasurable bliss of falling in love and finding yourself again. These songs travel the whole emotional spectrum.That kind of range has been Youngs calling card from the very start. Born and raised in rural New Jersey, she fell in love with The Beatles at an early age before eventually finding her way to The Cranberries and Elliott Smith in high school. Her self-recorded debut, Batten Down The Hatches, landed a high-profile sync in the Showtime series Weeds and led to a deal with Nettwerk Records, which re-released the album along with her 2009 follow-up, Transmitter Failure. Widespread acclaim and dates with the likes of Regina Spektor, Ingrid Michaelson, Frank Turner, and Aimee Mann followed, but by the time Youngs released her third album, 2012s An Unwavering Band Of Light, she was ready for a change of pace, moving to LA to focus on writing for other artists and for film and TV. In 2016, Youngs co-wrote Pitbulls Bad Man, which debuted at the 58th annual Grammy Awards; in 2017, she co-wrote Shungudzos Come On Back, which was featured in the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack; and in 2018, she co-wrote Panic! At The Discos smash hit High Hopes, which went five-times platinum and broke the record for most weeks atop Billboards Hot Rock Songs chart. Along the way, Youngs also launched Buffering The Vampire Slayer, an episode-by-episode podcast devoted to Buffy The Vampire Slayer that attracted more than 160,000 monthly listeners and led to a book deal with St. Martins Press. Youngs recently launched a new series with her podcasting partner/ex-wife called The eX-Files and has a narrative fiction podcast due out next year, as well.Northcote brings a powerful, resonant acoustic performance rooted in honesty, grit, andemotional depth. His voice carries a rare warmth equal parts weathered and hopeful and his songs land with the weight of lived experience. Expect a set that feelspersonal, grounded, and deeply moving.
