On Nov 24 at 6:30 p.m., the series will spotlight talented Jordan O’Jordan.

The 12 songs on Through Tough Thoughts serve as postcards from the road. There are tales of leaving and returning, and small epics about failure and hope in the face of adversity. O’Jordan’s songwriting has never been more intricate or wise. Lyrical complexity that echoes albums like Joanna Newsom’s Have One on Me, Songs: Ohia’s The Magnolia Electric Co., and Mirah’s Changing Light. Through Tough Thoughts was released on Antiquated Future Records. Listen on Bandcamp.

“Through Tough Thoughts is the plucky antidote to mundane disappointment from a person, community, or society that dares not to see past its own nose.” — Tiny Mix Tapes
