Rooted in Southern musical traditions and infused with confessional 90s angst, the music of New Orleans Americana artist Ever More Nest can likewise lull you to dream and rock you right off a front porch. Ever More Nest’s dynamic, homegrown voice—hugged by lush, church-pew harmonies—is complemented by expansive arrangements and rhythm section steady as a country train. Whether in a cinematic crescendo of all-consuming sound or in a quiet soliloquy of only voice and guitar, Ever More Nest allows audiences to wade deep into the waters of their humanness or stay safely ashore, where the rhythm of waves—the steady rock and roll—bring contentedness and joy.
A native of North Louisiana, Ever More Nest’s Kelcy Wilburn (“Kelcy Mae”) was equally influenced by the gospel, country, and blues of her Bible Belt hometown as she was by the emotional rawness of the artists that consumed her generation: The Cranberries, Counting Crows, Tori Amos, Radiohead, et al. As a teen, she moved to New Orleans, where open-mindedness and acceptance gave her the freedom to be herself and to find her voice. As Ever More Nest, Wilburn has been called “Lucinda-esque” and compared to “vintage Emmylou Harris.” For video, streaming, and more, visit evermorenest.com.
