MISS TESS
When most people think of defiant music, they think of punk rock or
outlaw country. But defying genres while transcending eras and
resisting clichés is hard to pin down when it comes to
artistry—unless you’re talking about Miss Tess, who does all of
that and more on her new release, The Moon Is an Ashtray (out Feb 7,
2020).
Swinging for the fences and from the branches of jazz, country, blues
and old school rock and roll, she has employed all of her influences
and talents on a tour-de-force, while cleverly taking standard
perspectives and ideas, like the definition of a love song, to task.
To help capture and shape her own unique sound, Miss Tess enlisted not
only her trusty 1930s Weymann archtop, but also heavy input from
co-producers Andrija Tokic (Alabama Shakes, Hurray for the Riff Raff)
and Thomas Bryan Eaton, her full-time bandmate and musical partner.
Combining Thomas’s arranging ideas and skilled instrumental work
with Andrija’s studio full of vintage mics, tube amps, keyboards,
and tape machines, the resulting record has a rich, buttery warmth
well-suited to Miss Tess's voice and authentic, retro-contemporary
songwriting style.
After over a decade on the road, now making her home in Nashville —
by way of Baltimore, Boston, and Brooklyn — Miss Tess has found a
creative community that encourages and embraces wide artistic
exploration and expression as much as she does.
“Miss Tess swings and swaggers, rooted in a retro groove that’s
equal parts blues, mid-century rock & roll and Booker T-worthy R&B.”
– Rolling Stone
“Old-time warmth, 21st-century sass. It’s a potent recipe for that
few artists successfully pull off — and Miss Tess is one of them.”
– No Depression
“A distinct old-timey flair.” – Billboard
Amanda Anne Platt [https://www.honeycutters.com/] (solo)
Amanda Anne Platt & The Honeycutters are on tour supporting the
release of their new album 'Live at the Grey Eagle' recorded in front
of a hometown crowd in Asheville, North Carolina. I've wanted to do a
live album for a long time. I think that when a band has been touring
together, and everyone is really in step with one another, the songs
take on an entirely different spirit live. Some of the older songs
have grown and changed with me over the years, and I wanted to capture
that, too. Live versions simply have more of a pulse to them than
studio recordings,' says Platt.
There is an empathetic and charming wit ingrained in Amanda's
songwriting. She has a knack for accessing a deep well of emotion and
applying it to her storytelling, whether she is writing from her own
experiences or immersing herself into the melody of emotions in
another person's life. Performing along with Platt, The Honeycutters
are Matt Smith (pedal steel and electric guitars), Rick Cooper
(bass/vocals), and Evan Martin (drums/vocals).
