Preview: Cornelia Murr at Pearl Street Warehouse on March 13

Promoting her newest LP, Run To The Center, Cornelia Murr is taking the stage at D.C.’s very own Pearl Street Warehouse on March 13th. As this is her first LP in six years, it explores the life of the thirty-something-year-old British-American singer who found herself rebuilding a decrepit Nebraska house in search of meaning. A perfect beginning for a sophomore album.

While tearing down splintering wallpaper, Murr crafted a ten-song album exposing the most tender side of pop music: what music actually sounds like when it’s imitating life. The title track, “Run to the Center,” starts with 16 seconds of what I believe the end of the world sounds like and continues into a melodic ode reminding everyone that getting older just means returning to yourself.

Run To The Center is a culmination of everything Murr is. It is the girl who moved from London at 6 to find herself placating a big America. It’s Red Cloud, Nebraska, and the old lady who offered her the house in the city she and her mother were mysteriously drawn to. It is also L.A. and the run towards the nomadic.

Alongside Murr, Reverend Baron and Storey Littleton, longtime friends and collaborators with Murr, will take the stage as the openers.
