bio
Nora Meier is a diehard music fan, a frequent moviegoer, a daughter of two English majors, an Oregonian at heart, a verbal processor, a big reader, extremely stubborn, and always writing. She was raised on her dad’s curated mixtapes and epic vinyl collection, which cultivated her deep love for the format of The Album and an obsession with Bruce Springsteen.
Her very own debut album was born during a full moon / lunar eclipse on a farm in Connecticut with the help of some of her favorite musicians. Eleven songs were tracked in seven days, interspersed by basketball scrimmages, deli trips and walks around a big field. Outfield was produced and mixed by Charles Dahlke (The Brazen Youth) and mastered by Andrew Goldring.
She lives in Boston, Massachusetts.
“Her voice has a different, maybe unexpected, quality to it – an Old World sense of wear and wonder, perhaps, that colors the songs as testaments from someone older or more plaintive than their years.”

listen
“Much of the record, despite this eye for detail, is easy listening in the best sense. Please take note, though: wrapping yourself in the sense that this thing is simple and straightforward and just casually unfolding before the listener is ill-advised (. . .) This is most definitely a carefully constructed edifice – despite sounds or sentiments to the contrary, there’s nothing off-handed or home-spun about it.”
