Upstate NY's Nocturnne features songwriting known for her sweet blend of indie-folk and lilting vocals, steeped in a cross between 60s nostalgia and 90s angst. Nocturnne's songs draw from her connection to herself and the Earth, her love for travel and adventure, and her passion for environmentalism, humanitarianism, and activism. She is an advocate for people with invisible illnesses as someone that has a chronic illness herself (Ehlers Danlos Syndrome).
Born and raised just outside of Cleveland, Ohio, she now calls the Adirondack Mountains of northern NY home. When not wandering the mountains and lakes and writing new music, she works as an engineer, having earned a doctorate degree with experience in multiple fields of Engineering.
"Relatively new to the Capital Region, singer-songwriter Nocturnne is making it a quick habit to get out there, and get out there fast...Singing, and writing songs that center around evocative imagery that’s supported by plaintive, yet effective instrumentation, she’s settling in rather quickly to this area. Doing all of this with no hindrances would be one thing, but managing to do this while mitigating her condition of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome - and autoimmune connective tissue disorder - makes the young artist’s story that much more compelling."
