UK artist Jade Bird has released an acoustic version of her song "Lottery" today - watch the video. The audio can also be streamed here.
"Lottery," continues to receive widespread critical praise-Entertainment Weekly highlighted the song in their "Must List" while NPR Music included it in their "Heavy Rotation: 10 Songs Public Radio Can't Stop Playing." "Lottery" follows the 2017 release of her debut EP Something American.
Jade will tour the U.S. this spring with Colter Wall and recently confirmed summer dates with First Aid Kit, in addition to stops at SXSW, Stagecoach and Firefly Festival.
Born in Hexham U.K., Jade's early life was spent mainly in flight as an "army brat," with time spent in South Wales, Germany and Chesterfield. One of life's few constants proved to be the influence of strong working women. At first, via her mother and grandmother who largely raised her, but later, the female role models within the musical subcultures Jade become obsessed with: from troubled, but empowering country heroines like Loretta Lynn to iconic alternative songwriters like Patti Smith and following a thread through folk and Americana to incorporating such confessional, undiluted songwriting into pop music (Alanis Morisette's Jagged Little Pill was a similarly early touchstone).
