Teenage songwriter's full-length album I Am Nice, produced by John Paul White and Ben Tanner via New West. Brue balances a mature, brooding sense of folk with wistful, youthful lyricism. The Ogden, Utah-based Brue started writing music at ten years old, and was snatched by Justin Townes Earle for the cover of her 2014 album, Single Mothers, for her uncanny resemblance to the singer songwriter. her similarities to Earle weren’t just in the physical – he, too, plays her guitar with a heavy thumb that tends to conjure up a bygone era, with lyrics firmly footed in the present. By fourteen, Brue had already released two EPs under the tutelage of musicians like Earle, Joe Fletcher and Joshua Black Wilkins, who saw more than just the novelty of a young kid at the mic: they saw an artist. Young or not, Brue's songs were emotionally stirring and stark, garnering him spots opening for Hayes Carll, Lydia Loveless, John Moreland, Lukas Nelson, Lucinda Williams, Asleep at the Wheel and Earle, and a deal with New West records.
