Nashville-based singer-songwriter Jess Kerber met with Christine to talk about her 2nd album, The World Is Dark, but I Want It to Be Funny, set to release this Fri, Nov 6. Kerber’s new music turns inward, exploring memory, impermanence, relationships, and the effort it takes to remain open to joy when the world gives us plenty of reasons not to be. With intricate guitar work, winding melodies, a rich tenor, and quietly arresting lyrics, her work has drawn comparisons to artists such as Joni Mitchell and Gillian Welch while still sounding distinctly her own.

Christine Davis was raised in NJ but is an honorary Midwesterner living in the Chicago area. She’s an acupuncturist by day, but there’s always music playing in her head. Live music brings her a thrill like no other, but she also listens to her favorite albums over and over (and over). A music historian at heart, she loves to find the threads that connect pieces, artists, genres, and fans together. She’s the wife of a musician, mom to two of the best humans on earth, and amateur lap steel guitarist.
