<p style="text-align: center;">"Crafts a dense folk-leaning sound that swirls with moody atmosphere and incongruous optimism." — The Boot</p>
<p>Officially releasing on all major streaming/purchase platforms on Friday, December 2nd, "Happy New Year" premiered with <a contents="a brand new music video" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://theboot.com/ever-more-nest-happy-new-year/" target="_blank">a brand new music video</a> today at <em>The Boot</em>. </p>
<p>With the summer release of sophomore album <em>Out Here Now</em> still making waves, Ever More Nest is offering up a surprise holiday-season single. Recorded during the East Nashville <em>Out Here Now</em> sessions produced by Neilson Hubbard, “Happy New Year” demanded its own spotlight. With a little more alternative gusto than Out Here Now’s Americana/folk-leaning arrangements, “Happy New Year” invites audiences to contemplate changing relationships and the relentless passage of time as marked by a holiday full of fireworks and electric energy.</p>

Americana Highways calls it "music that croons and rolls over relatable angst and longing for serenity and peace." About Coming Along, songwriter Kelcy Wilburn notes:</p>
<p>"I wrote this song while on tour in 2019, exhausted by the urge to jump out of the car and run out into every expansive field we passed along the highway. The tour was a constant grind, and there was an amazing night where we (Dave and I) sat outside and watched the Super Blood Wolf Moon eclipse. I felt in that moment like I was “in line” with where I was supposed to be, but it wasn’t exactly a celebratory moment. It was somewhat somber, like a recognition that every path—even the right one—has its moments of exhaustion, difficulty, frustration, loneliness, longing, etc. Life feels like a race against time sometimes, and touring has a way of exacerbating that feeling."</p>

<p>The second official song and music video from <em>Out Here Now</em> (coming August 19, 2022) premiered today at <em>Glide Magazine</em>. About the song, Glide writes: "Ever More Nest’s “Out Loud” ... summons a new voice in the musical world of New Orleans that puts the song and lyrics first and lets the rhythmic foundation naturally follow. The band runs with the poetic freedom of Lilly Hiatt while conjuring the rocking anthems of Heartless Bastards in a tight wound of poignant Americana."</p>

The song is paired with a black and white lyric video that captures—with the help of unsuspecting urban nature—the themes of the song. About What's Gone Is Gone, songwriter Kelcy Wilburn notes:</p>
<p>"Some New Orleans musicians took a page from the Bushwick Book Club and invited songwriters to read Margaret Atwood's The Heart Goes Last, write a song inspired by it, and perform the songs at a show together. The dystopian, near-future tale about an imprisoned society was a peculiar read that got me thinking about how we go to great lengths to avoid acknowledging certain aspects of ourselves and to avoid really knowing ourselves. We attempt to distract ourselves from our insecurities and weaknesses with any number of 'escapes,' but there really is no escape. The grass isn’t greener on the other side—you just stopped watering your lawn."</p>

<p>Read about what inspired the song and how Ever More Nest and Producer Neilson Hubbard approached it in the studio. </p>
<p>According to Ever More Nest's Kelcy Wilburn, "I love every track on this album, but this is one that holds a peculiar, special place in my heart. It's also one that the band has enjoyed bringing to the stage with Rebecca powerfully opening up the song with those first few bars of 'Blessed Assurance.' Super grateful for <em>The Bluegrass Situation</em> choosing this song to share with the world."</p>

<p>Summerfest, an 11-day music festival located in Milwaukee, is proud to present Ever More Nest in its 2019 Emerging Artist Series on July 6, 2019 at 3:00pm. Ever More Nest joins Sweet Crude (June 28) as the festival's New Orleans-based Emerging Artist acts. </p>
<p>The Emerging Artists Series will take place every day of the festival on the Johnson Controls World Sound Stage with 88Nine Radio Milwaukee. Now in its 13th year, this series has highlighted up-and-coming local, national and international talent during daily performances that not only showcase great live music, but also engage the audience by having fans vote each day in a Twitter poll for their favorite performance. Every day of the Series, the band with the most fan votes will receive an “Emerging Artist Series Care Package” that includes nearly $3,000 in gear, merchandise and services. Additionally, two lucky artists will walk away with a College & Non-Commercial Radio Campaign from Planetary Group. Some artists featured in past series have gone on to become nationally and internationally known, including Walk the Moon, Nathaniel Rateliff, Maren Morris, BØRNS, X Ambassadors, The Record Company, and many more.</p>Ever More Nesttag:www.evermorenest.com,2005:Post/57391222019-05-01T15:00:34-05:002019-05-01T15:00:34-05:00New Song in NPR Tiny Desk Contest<p>Ever More Nest submitted an entry into this year's NPR Tiny Desk Contest.

<p>On October 3, 2018, PopMatters.com premiered the latest music video from Ever More Nest. The video for "Gimme That" was shot in New Orleans by Sarah Devlin. According to PopMatter's Jonathan Frahm, "Inundated by grim phantasms of skeletons and crows, Ever More Nest's 'Gimme That' sets the scene for Halloween. Kelcy Mae's newest endeavor is planted musically somewhere between New Orleans zest and Tennessee cool, riding that line into a new blend of Americana to titillate. It's a multi-layered experience from a thematic lens, as well."</p>

<p>A Kickstarter has officially launched for Ever More Nest's debut record, <em>The Place That You Call Home</em>.

Check out the Kickstarter story and video for a chat from Kelcy and in-studio footage of the recording, which took place in August 2017 in Nashville, TN.

Ever More Nest has until July 16 to meet the project's funding goal. </p>
