Teddy Thompson

Beloved London-born, Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Teddy Thompson has returned with the exquisitely crafted Never Be The Same, his first collection of original material since 2020. Across ten tracks, Thompson refines his craft via an exploration of music’s enduring preoccupations — love, longing, and the uneasy passage of time.

This album wasn’t built upon a grand narrative. There was no self-imposed exile, no forced reinvention. Instead, it is centered around an exhortation that is threaded through the songs like a refrain: “Never Be The Same,” its title only revealing itself to Thompson after he’d completed the recording.

 “It’s a phrase that, unconsciously, I used twice. And when I saw it on the page, I realized, this is the message of this album,” says Thompson. “Don’t ever be the same. Change. Grow! Even when the sentiment is, woe is me, I’ll never recover after that love or loss. The message is still, change. Don’t get too comfortable. Everything is temporary, so evolve or perish!”

Jenna Nicholls

Jenna Nicholls is a genre-blending singer-songwriter whose music evokes the golden age of the American Songbook, laced with the spirit of Hank Williams and Patsy Cline. With four albums under her belt—including a debut featured in film and television soundtracks—Jenna’s latest album, The Commuter, produced by three time Grammy-winner Larry Campbell, delivers vintage Americana with a fresh, cinematic feel. With Campbell’s masterful touch and Jenna’s unmistakable voice at the helm, the record is a modern classic—a love letter to American music in all its dusty, dreamy glory.

Hailing from the small town of Irwin, PA near Pittsburgh, after college Jenna set her sights east to test her wings as a songwriter and performer. Initially trying Boston, she ultimately gravitated to the creative hotbed of Manhattan’s Lower East Side forging lasting friendships with other like-minded artists and musicians. Her early albums revealed a restless muse and a theme that would be a constant for Nicholls: a love of vintage music – anything from classic music films like “Singin’ in the Rain” to Bessie Smith. 

A winner of the multiple songwriter competitions, Jenna has toured with Ingrid Michaelson, Glen Hansard, Lucius and Joan as Policewoman, performing at iconic venues including the Beacon Theater and Carnegie Hall. With every note, Jenna Nicholls invites you into a world where old souls speak, hearts break, and stories live on in song.

“Her songs land like a freight ship into the harbor of hearts and ears… The air changes. Pure mastery.” —Glen Hansard
