“Oh good, it’s Monday again!”…said no one ever. Thankfully, the SoBros are here to freshen up your playlist and get you through to Friday! This week, we’re spotlighting an in-house favorite: Julien Baker.
You might be asking yourself, “Why is she a SoBros favorite?”
Well, for one, she’s a Tennessee native. Born and raised in Memphis, to be exact.
And two, she went to MTSU, our editor-in-chief’s Alma Mater.
And three…she’s an excellent performer.
I’ve had the opportunity to see Julien perform live a handful of times now, including here in Nashville at the coveted Ryman Auditorium. If you get a chance to attend a show of hers, DO IT. You will enjoy every second of her solo-act.
Her strong vocals easily fill any room, sending chills through the audience, while her guitar reverberates and strings together her set.
I recommend giving her debut album Sprained Ankle a thorough listen, especially if you’re looking for a moment of calm. I keep several songs from this album on my night-time playlists to help wind down.
Baker has now joined forces with two other extremely talented musicians, Phoebe Bridgers and Lucy Dacus, and have combined their efforts to form a new group known as boygenius. So be on the lookout for this trio in the near future.
My suggestions:
Must listen to: Go Home
Noteworthy tunes: Sprained Ankle, Something, Sour Breath, Good News, Rejoice, Everything to Help You Sleep
Enjoy!
