Thao Nguyen is really cool. This blog is dedicated to how cool she is. Whether it's about one of her current musical projects like Thao and Mirah or Thao with the Get Down Stay Down, or something else great like her activism or the fact that she apparently has a picture of Ron Swanson in her house (re: yourstru.ly sessions), this is going to include everything that has to do with Thao and Co.
If you're new to Thao, check out the Guide to Thao below. It lists her discography with sample songs available to download, as well as links to videos and Thao's official websites.

Thao’s Grandma Makes A Statement
by Thao Nguyen
When indie rockstar Thao Nguyen isn’t rocking the stage around the globe, she’s listening to public radio. So of course we had to bring her in to tell a tale about her sweet, lovely grandma - who you definitely don’t want to mess with.
Thao composed all the instrumentals in this segment specifically for this story. The other two songs are from her album, “We Brave Bee Stings and All.” She is currently performing at Radiolab’s live show and is working on a new album.
- NPR’s Snap Judgment.
Salt Lake City, Backstage at RadioLab: In the Dark - Thao conducts a short yet intrepid interview with Jad and Robert in honor of Public Radio (appreciation) Month right before show time. Edited and made presentable by Stephanie Foo.
Ah! Finally! A THAO BLOG. You've saved me.
Thanks for following! Posting has been slow lately but it’ll pick up as the new album gets closer. My own search for a Thao blog led to this so I know how you feel.
