“Show Up” is a reckoning about coming to terms with loving someone that will never love you back. These moments are so painful and so drawn out that you’re just hanging on for any little thing to release you from it. The song is that last look over your shoulder when you are still convincing yourself they’re going to be standing there before you have to walk through that door.

Story by Nicolette Hoang
Out now on ArtHaus Music
I discovered this band on PRX’s The World program, which said, “Vietnamese Canadian country singer Nicolette Hoang fronts the band “Nicolette and the Nobodies.” She never thought she’d go into country music when she thought about being a singer. But there was something about the “natural cry” in Tammy Wynette’s voice that drew her in. Host Marco Werman speaks with Hoang to learn more.” Click on the link below to hear the story:
