Nora Jane Struthers
Nora Jane Struthers (born November 11, 1983) is an American singer-songwriter based in Nashville, Tennessee who is notable for her critically acclaimed Americana (music) and roots rock. ''Rolling Stone Country'' debuted a video for "Let Go" from Struthers' forthcoming album ''Wake'' (slated for release on February 24, 2015) with an article in which Stephen L. Betts wrote that "the ever-widening scope of Nora Jane Struthers' musicality means that placing a neat, easy label on the genre she best represents is virtually impossible." In a post for Amy Poehler's blog ''Smart Girls'', Alexa Peters wrote that "Nora Jane is entirely and unequivocally herself, and wants to encourage you to do the same." National Public Radio (United States) described Struthers as “quietly brilliant” in article headlined "Country Music’s Year of the Woman." Struthers’ 2013 album ''Carnival,'' recorded with her touring band The Party Line, spent more than three months in the Top 20 of Americana Radio charts and peaked at No. 7. ''Carnival'' ranked 24th on the 2013 Americana Airplay Top 100 list. In a review of ''Carnival'', the ''Tampa Bay Times'' wrote that Struthers’ unique brand of “rich storytelling, repeat-worth melodies and a modern mashup of traditional, bluegrass folk, country and rock influences” sets her apart from many roots-inspired contemporaries.
==Early life and education==
Struthers was born in Fairfax, Virginia, United States, six months before her family moved to Avon, Conn. When Struthers was four years old, the family moved again to Ridgewood, New Jersey. She grew up singing and playing music with her father Alan Struthers, a bluegrass musician.〔 Struthers was named Nora by her parents after Nora Charles, a character in Dashiell Hammett’s novel The Thin Man, and Jane after English author Jane Austen. Her family called her Jane, but Nora stuck in school when that name was used for calling roll in kindergarten.
Struthers said as a little girl she would often watch out the front window for her father at the end of the day and greet him with a yodel and the two frequented bluegrass festivals and fiddler conventions along the East Coast as she got older.〔
Struthers was diagnosed with dyslexia at the age of four, when a reading specialist told her parents that Nora Jane would never go to college.〔 She ultimately proved the reading specialist wrong, however, studying English Education and Africana Studies at New York University’s School of Education. After graduating in 2005, Struthers worked as a teacher at The Williamsburg Charter High School in Brooklyn, New York, until 2008.
