WINS 2018 GRULKE PRIZE FOR DEVELOPING NON-U.S. ACT AT SXSW

British artist Jade Bird will perform her breakout single “Lottery” on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” next Tuesday, April 3. Watch the official video for the song here as well as the acoustic version here. “Lottery” follows Jade’s 2017 debut EP Something American on Glassnote Records.

The appearance culminates an outstanding couple of weeks for Jade—At SXSW she performed 13 high profile showcases in six days, winning the 2018 Grulke Prize for developing non-U.S. act as a result. Jade is already the subject of widespread critical praise; The New York Times hails “She’s an English songwriter with a country-rock streak and a furious rasp when she gets riled…” the Los Angeles Times furthers “…her outlaw spirit, fiery riffs and ready-to-roar vocals illustrated everyday gender dynamics,” while Brooklyn Vegan adds “…on paper there is no way to describe the power that is Jade Elizabeth Bird’s voice.”

Furthermore, Jade has confirmed U.S. tour dates throughout June, including support dates with Colter Wall, First Aid Kit and Anderson East, as well as festival appearances at Stagecoach, Bonnaroo, Firefly and Mountain Jam. See below for details.

Born in Hexham, U.K., Jade’s early life was spent mainly in flight as an “army brat.” 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 empowering country heroines like Loretta Lynn to iconic alternative songwriters like Patti Smith—Alanis Morisette’s Jagged Little Pill was a similar early touchstone. Jade also recently spoke with Noisey about the influence of these and other women on her music.
