Eloise Alterman

Published: Sept. 29, 2020, 11 a.m.

Eloise Alterman is one of the freshest voices from Big Yellow Dog Music (Maren Morris, Tenille Townes, Meghan Trainor, to name a few). Originally hailing from Detroit, Eloise made the journey to Nashville with the intention of an artist's career. Something that many don't do from her home town, she went against the grain and instead of college. She opted for loneliness. Such a scary emotion that many wouldn't think to turn to as a strength. After not knowing anybody from Music City, her loneliness became something to embrace and not to run away from anymore. Eloise shares the cultural dynamic of Michigan and family, using her emotional past to write music, and then what it's like to revisit old scars to keep feeling those raw emotions. The Other Side wrestles internally with feelings of fear, danger, unreciprocated love in a relationship. Is it worth revisiting these emotions for the sake of art?
