Nora OConnor has been an in-demand backup singer/multi-instrumentalist for decades,performing around the world with Iron and Wine, The Decemberists, Andrew Bird,Robbie Fulks, Neko Case, Mavis Staples, and Chicago super group the Flat Five, toname a few. The constraints wrought by Covid limited her to touring the backyards ofher hometown alone, and reminded her that she can hold her own on guitar and shecan sing the hell out of anythingand she can write a song, too. With time to spare athome, she began recording a series of new home demos that became her third album,My Heart released in October 2022 on Pravda Records.OConnor isnt new to working solo. She released Cerulean Blue in 1996 and Til theDawn in 2004 before she carved out a livelihood making other peoples songs soundbetter. She has no intention of stoppingin fact 2021 found her back out on the roadwith Neko Case and The New Pornographers. But her recent solo shows increased herconfidence and stretched her ambition, moving her to experiment with her voice, to playwith new sounds and textures, and to envision a next chapter in her long and dazzlingcareer; one where she takes her rightful seat at the table of the luminaries she hassupported for all these years.___Anna Vogelzang believes in the power of songs. Since 2004, the Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist has independently released 7 award-winning albums and toured extensively throughout the US, opening for a wide range of acts from Gillian Welch to Sara Bareilles. Atwood Magazine says her songwriting is beautifully visceral, exuding the kind of storytelling ability passed down through decades of folk tradition - it walks the line between the modern and the nostalgic. Her voice has been described as an ethereal, lucid thing that nets melodies like its catching monarchs.
