Cheery shares new single "Jason"

Kansas-native and current Liverpool resident Cheery releases their single, "Jason", a eulogy for her friend Jason Grant, who passed away as a result of a hit and run in Portland in January, 2012. It tells the story of some of her interactions with the large influence on her youth, such as hanging out in his apartment complex pool singing the entirety of Arcade Fire’s album “Funeral”,
or phone calls after he had moved across the country. This track uses samples of orchestral clips from various funeral dirges and is meant to resemble one itself. This track was produced by Eric Davis (of the band Hembree).

Bio:
Gloomy Art Pop project, Cheery, is the new creation of Katlyn Conroy. Often hailed as a siren of the Midwest, they have brought their unique sound to Liverpool, England all the way from Lawrence, Kansas, USA. With 20 years of live performances under their belt in projects like La Guerre and Cowboy Indian Bear, Conroy has performed alongside the likes of Daniel Johnston, Florence and the Machine, Grizzly Bear, Tennis, Sara Barielles, and Why?, to name a few. Cheery pairs cinematic instrumentation with relatable, introspective lyrics and captivating vocals to create a heart wrenching and full bodied set that has moved many audiences to tears. The abundance of transparency and sincerity in their performance gives Cheery a unique edge amongst others who instead parade cultivated theatrics. Conroy's prolific songwriting has thus far culminated in four full length solo records and five eps since 2009. Now, in 2023, the debut Cheery record "Bliss", out on Spirit House records, will explore new sonic territories with a larger energy compared to her past releases. With a powerful voice and a gift for storytelling, Cheery has established herself as one of the most exciting and innovative musicians in the Midwest, and a vital voice in the world of indie music.
