Emily Nenni and Movin’ Shoes is all about the right fit. Made in Memphis, the Nashville based singer-songwriter’s fourth full length album is as much about dancing as following the steps of understanding and respect. Nenni’s songs reflect her solicitude, but are much more soulful in this setting - taking inspiration from the many impassioned performers of the region, to 60’s girl groups and honky tonk heroes. Pairing once again with producer John James Tourville (The Deslondes), Movin’ Shoes was cut at Matt -Ross-Spang’s new Southern Grooves studio. The 13 tracks tie up nicely with added covers from Paul Simon, Delbert McClinton and Cass Elliott. Movin’ Shoes will be released on May 1st via New West Records. Lisa Bouchelle has sung backup for Bruce Springsteen, dueted in concert with Jon Bon Jovi on his hit "Who Says You Can't Go Home," and toured and/or opened for The Wallflowers, Train, Shooter Jennings, Bryan Adams, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and Don Felder, among others. Her new album, Vandals. Thieves & Lovers, comes out Sept. 4th through The Orchard/Sony Music, and has been called a "tour-de-force of Americana," featuring guests such as Amanda Shires, Larry Campbell, Waddy Wachtel, Clay Cook (Zac Brown Band), Doyle Grisham (Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band), and Jake Clemons (Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band), among others. She was named one of “Ten Up-And-Coming Artists” by Paste Magazine, one of “10 Rising Artists To Watch” by GQ Magazine, and Relix Magazine called her “One of the underground music world’s most respected artists.”
