Dear Nora

Begun in the late '90s as an outlet for the thoughtful and introspective songs of vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Katy Davidson, Dear Nora slowly grew into a highly influential presence on the folkier side of indie rock. Initially Davidson recorded three albums and a handful of singles as Dear Nora before retiring the name in 2008 and working on other projects, but a 2017 reissue of their second album garnered enough attention to reactivate the Dear Nora name and record new material like 2022's Human Futures.
