Happy Hour at The Eleven with Sydney Worthley

At just nine years old, Sydney Worthley already knew songwriting was her calling. Since then, every song she’s written starts in the corner of a room, and ends on a stage. Pulling inspiration from Phoebe Bridgers and Taylor Swift, her songs tackle themes of coming of age, long lost connections, and growing from haunting mistakes. Songwriting has always been a cathartic experience for Sydney and that has remained unwavering.

While in isolation, the singer-songwriter had time to overthink and agonize over unresolved plans and lack of creativity. The result? The slow-forming 12-track LP, It Was Nice While It Lasted, out July 19 via Mint 400 Records. Recorded at Nada Studios by John Naclerio (American Authors, Imagine Dragons), the album effortlessly melds the acoustic-focused elements of her previous releases with a new-found appreciation for 80s-tinged synth pop.
