Sir Woman

Doors: 8PM / Show: 9PM / 21+SIR WOMANSir Woman, Austin Music Awards Best New Act of 2020, was primed to hit the road promoting its much-anticipated debut album Party City, when the world changed. With fewer reasons to celebrate, soul-singer Kelsey Wilson (Wild Child, Glorietta) ditched the party vibe she planned for her maiden, solo debut in favor of a more aptly titled record for troubled times. Bitch, a genre-bending, Motown-influenced five-song EP, is set for an Oct. 16 release under Wilsons acid-trip inspired stage name on Austins Nine Mile Records.Wilsons backing band drummer Amber Baker (Jon Batiste) and back-up singers Spice and Roy Jr. were joined on the album by guitarist Nik Lee and multi- instrumentalist Dan Creamer (Shakey Graves, The Texas Gentlemen), and critically acclaimed country-pop artist Robert Ellis. But make no mistake, the Wild Child co-founder has stepped into the spotlight alone with this collection of love songs she wrote for herself as the perpetual party of touring life started to spin out of control.This EP is me finding what makes me feel good and falling in love with myself. A mix of everything that makes my body move pop, soul, gospel, funk, folk, and R Wilson said. These songs are the part of me that wants to help people fall in love with themselves through music. I cant wait for everyone to hear it.World Caf declared warmth, empathy and humor are the shining stars of the EPs first track, Highroad, which earned a slot on NPRs Heavy Rotation: 9 Songs Public Radio Cant Stop Playing.Consider that evidence Wilson is moving effortlessly into a brave new R NPR critic Gini Moscorro proclaimed. In some ways, the EPs title track, Bitch, set for an Oct. 1 release, took on new meaning after the world shut down. When Wilson belts, Youve been a bitch, baby, its as if a year at the crossroads of coronavirus crisis and national civil unrest is the unintended target of the soul singers angsty honesty.
