Thao - We Brave Bee Stings And All

With ‘We Brave Bee Stings And All’ 23-year-old Virginia-bred songwriter Thao captures and mesmerizes listeners with her unique voice and natural ability with words and melodies.  Thao’s songs are richly musical, whether using just an acoustic guitar strummed with a toothbrush or employing keyboards, horns, and a full rhythm section. And while her music feels buoyant, even giddy at times, Thao endows her lyrics with a curious juxtaposition of gripping personal detail and saucy humour. “My songs reflect my personality as far as shirking the seriousness of things,” says Thao. She also says Lucinda Williams was right when she said the best songs “sound happy but are so sad” – a powerful insight into Thao’s own music.
