Join us for an unforgettable evening of inventive, genre-bending music with the singular My Brightest Diamond.
"Let's just start with the most important thing you need to know about Shara Nova: Her voice transcends accents. It transcends genre. Her light lyric soprano is simply a miraculous instrument. Listen." - Rob Rushin-Knopf, Southern South
My Brightest Diamond, the chamber pop band initiated in 2006 by Shara Nova, blends the talents of a classically trained vocalist and self-taught multi-instrumentalist and composer, crafting dazzling, shapeshifting music. With each song written and album released, she has resisted the conventions of genre, blending elements of rock, art pop, and chamber music into a sound totally her own. My Brightest Diamond debuted in 2006 with the album Bring Me the Workhorse, which received critical acclaim for its intricate arrangements and Nova's hauntingly powerful vocals. It showcased her ability to fuse orchestral elements with indie rock, earning her praise for its emotional depth and inventive arrangements. Subsequent albums like A Thousand Shark's Teeth (2008), All Things Will Unwind (2011), This Is My Hand (2014), A Million and One (2018), and Fight the Real Terror (2024) further established her as a unique and innovative voice.
In 2024, Shara appeared in the stage show of Illinoise as a musical performer, singing and playing guitar in the musical based on Sufjan Stevens’ album of the same name, on which she originally appeared.
