Dear Nora play Saturday, January 14, at Black Lodge.
It feels like we need the winsome, world-weary indie-pop of Dear Nora more than ever before.
If that sounds dramatic, consider that fans have spent the past seven years begging Portland singer-songwriter Katy Davidson to revive the band she shelved in 2009. Back then, Davidson thought she was done with Dear Nora for good.
Originally from rural Arizona, Davidson moved to Portland in 1995 for college, where she met friends and started making music. After graduation, she formed Dear Nora and recorded a handful of 7-inches and full-lengths that spanned the 2000s and earned a small but loyal following.
