Brontë Fall - Finishing School (2020)

Brontë Fall have a lot to live up to and Finishing School takes that task very seriously. Songwriter and bandleader Teri Bracken is well aware of the legacy of the three Brontë sisters and how they had to use male pseudonyms to initially publish their works. Thankfully that’s not the world we live in today, although how far we’ve actually come is still subject to question. Gender inequality still exists as Bracken notes, “Women have to fight harder to get their voices heard and to hold prominent positions in the workplace. We are still fighting the same fight as Emily, Charlotte and Anne!”

“As a musician, I almost feel like I'm defending who I am and what I want. Perhaps I feel pressure to be a certain way. These songs were written about feeling proud of where I am and what I'm doing. It's about feeling empowered wherever you are in life, and celebrating the past while building your own kind of future.” ~ Brontë Fall
