Ava Earl - Songwriter

GIRDWOOD - Young, but wise, songwriter Ava Earl has a masterful control of her craft. Writing music and expressing emotions that demonstrate both maturity and an appreciation for life’s twists and turns, Earl’s efforts have culminated, thus far, in her brand new album, The Roses. Officially released today, The Roses was recorded in Nashville and produced by JT Nero, one half of the Americana-outfit, Birds of Chicago, and features hauntingly beautiful background vocals from Allison Russell and Awna Teixeira. The end result is a beautifully and intentionally crafted album that invokes images of natural wonder and fantasy alike, all while sticking closely to Earl’s own personal experiences. Fans can stream or purchase The Roses now at this link.
