About:
tuesday nite is a harmony-driven ambient indie rock duo from buffalo, ny featuring veteran singer/songwriters and guitarists sara elizabeth and courtney ann. “imbued with sonic experimentation, and bolstered by elegiac vocal harmonies,” [jeff miers, buffalo news], tuesday nite presents both a haunted beauty and an easygoing camaraderie in the midst of dark times.
with a friendship fostered through virtual open mics and jam sessions during the pandemic (2020), courtney and sara discovered their mutual love for tiny desks concerts, tight harmonies, and current indie artists such as phoebe bridgers and pinegrove. while digging into their classical roots and mac and cheese habits, they fondly coined their jam nites “tiny desk tuesdays” – from there, tuesday nite was born. rounding out the lineup for live shows are james kooken (drums, johnny hart & the mess) and tom varco (bass, tortoise forest), creating a deep pocket amidst an expansive and emotional musical landscape.
a&r factory proclaimed of tuesday nite’s 2021 debut release, “debuts this impressive don’t come along every day. get them on your radar.” read the full review HERE.
