Thelma & James Biography

Thelma & James is a Nashville-based musical duo formed by married singer-songwriters MacKenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge. After pursuing individual careers for over a decade, the couple collaborated on their first co-written song in years, "Happy Ever After You," which they initially shared as an impromptu video. The heartfelt performance resonated widely, garnering praise from artists like John Mayer, Luke Combs, and Brandi Carlile, and accumulating over 20 million streams. Their music blends country, Americana, and pop influences, characterized by rich harmonies and emotionally driven storytelling.

Following the success of their debut single, Thelma & James signed with Big Loud Records in early 2025. They have since released tracks like "First Love" and "Chainsmokin Memories". The duo continues to work on new music and perform live, including their first full band show on Broadway in Nashville.
