Nora Jane Struthers brings her power trio to Cape May to present a catalog of music that NPR has described as “some of the most quietly powerful narratives within the new wave of Americana artists.” Don’t be fooled by the “quietly” part, though: the trio is just as adept at rocking the house with a powerfully electric anthem as they are at soothing your soul with a contemplative ballad, and they often draw on their bluegrass roots to add texture to the music. The trio’s performance is full to the brim with stellar musicianship, unexpected arrangements that blur the line between folk, roots, and rock, and an audible sense that everyone in the room is having a really good time.
