Don’t miss the debut of the PM Sundays series in THT’s Anderson Studio, featuring Jenna Nicholls. Hailing from the small town of Irwin, PA near Pittsburgh, Nicholls ultimately gravitated to the creative hotbed of Manhattan’s Lower East Side to develop her career as a songwriter and performer. Forging lasting friendships with other like-minded artists and musicians, Nicholls made three albums: Curled Up Toes in Red Mary Janes, The Blooming Hour, and Radio Parade. The 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.

Joy-Infused Jazz, Folk, and Blues

Her uplifting live performances with her bassist/partner Shawn Nadeau delve into New Orleans jazz, blues, and folk. Best known for her ease at the piano and her bell-tone vocals, Heather’s songs and the band’s musicianship embody honesty, playfulness, and a desire to share from the heart.
“Heather is like two great acts in one, sliding from sweet acoustic Appalachian old-timey vibe with Patty Griffinesque lyrics to brassy New Orleans blues piano with a bone thrown to Bessie Smith.”

Katie Martucci is a performer, bandleader, singer and composer, who is a graduate of New England Conservatory, and has been featured on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Her latest release ‘Note to Self’ on La Reserve Records is a collection of songs about the “unspoken third thing in the room” — stories surrounding friendship, family history, imposter syndrome, her own personal journey with epilepsy and more.
Drawing inspiration from the writing and production of artists like Madison Cunningham and Emily King, Martucci's songs are lush and cinematic. "No matter what Katie Martucci chooses to sing, it absolutely captivates us. Her voice is incredible, warm, and personal." - Ear to the Ground Music
