Fletcher

In terms of famous musical locales, Liverpool is pretty damn good. Memphis has groove. Detroit adds horsepower. Compton comes with all sorts of authenticity. Asbury Park, NJ? Well, that’s something special.

Fletcher’s hometown is a nigh-mythological spot, mainly from its most famous son, one Bruce Springsteen. And seeing as Fletcher (born Cari Elise Fletcher) is an artist who has a lot more to say than your standard pop star, it’s easy to project an element of honesty and grit onto her just from those cultural associations.
