Brontë Fall

Teri Bracken’s new album as Brontë Fall, Not Done Yet is about resolve and spirit and ignoring anything in the way of dreaming — even yourself. Bracken wrestles with herself throughout the album. She almost quits, she pulls herself back; she laughs at those who told her to get a more sustainable career; she curses herself for not getting a more sustainable career. Not Done Yet finds Bracken living with the heartbreak of losing her late father, while tapping into his resiliency to make her strongest album yet. The album, defiant and beautiful and mournful and triumphant, is a chronicle of a life lived exactly as Bracken wants, compromising to no one in her quest to continue building a budding and supportive scene for alt-Americana women in Nashville and around the country. Not Done Yet is both a step forward and a retrospective of where Teri Bracken has been, both as a woman and with Brontë Fall. “It's the perspective of seven years of me hustling as a female artist in this industry that is a long held boy’s club. “On ‘Old Woman' I look at the pressure of being in my thirties and people expecting certain things out of a woman my age.” Above all, her fourth studio project is a guiding light for anyone struggling to pursue their passion. Teri Bracken understands the urge to quit, and yet, she’s emerged more defiant than ever, poised for a massive moment. “I am going to do what I love and I'm creating the art I want. It would be easy to give up, because this is so incredibly hard, but I made my best album to date and I can’t wait to play it every night,” she explains. “Even if it's hard, I’m gonna keep going. I can’t stop. I love it too damn much.”
