Thao with the get down stay down at the Jackpot

Grant Snider

Thao with the get down stay down at the Jackpot

Probably deep within an Appalachian forest, Thao Nguyen stumbled upon the elements of a captivating folk song: innocent melody, intimate lyrics, and nimbly picked guitar. Wandering back into the D.C. metro area, she recruited the Get Down Stay Down to give some swagger and rhythm to her acoustic blues. Thao’s bittersweet yelp makes lines like We splash our eyes full of chemicals/Just so there's none left for little girls burn like chlorine. Her new album, We Brave Bee Stings and All, released this year on Kill Rock Stars, is a peek into the diary of a hip-swiveling indie kid. Live, Thao and her band groove to un-self-conscious introspection and sharp social observation.
