We at No Country are continually committed to elevating the profile of the too often overlooked local artists that make Music City so exceptional – so we couldn’t be more excited to pair with Anna Haas (host of the fantastic Women Who Rock series) to spotlight local ladies making their mark on what has all too long been a male-dominated industry.
This week, we’re taking a look at Jaclyn Monroe and Anna has done the honors of spotlighting this songstress to help folks get acquainted with Ms. Monroe in advance of her EP Release show this Thursday at 12th & Porter! Catch Jaclyn this week and stay up to date on the Women Who Rock Nashville here.
Guest Spotlight by Anna Haas:
When singer-songwriter Jaclyn Monroe moved to Nashville two years ago, she was couch hopping, song-writing and trying to get her feet on the ground. She purchased a lottery ticket from a local gas station and won $500. What did she do with her lucky hand? Blow it on new clothes or an expensive dinner? No, she used it to shack up for a month at an Extended Stay America, set up some recording equipment and immediately got to work recording demos of her original tunes.
Clearly dedicated and immensely talented, Jaclyn has worked hard to continue procuring her own luck here in Nashville, vigorously working on her debut, self-titled EP, which will be released Thursday at 12th & Porter. With intelligent lyrics, intricate, soulful arrangements and husky vocals reminiscent of Rachael Yamagata, Etta James and Brandi Carlile, these new tunes are sure to pull at some heartstrings. - No Country For New Nashville
