In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
Performing for the first time at Gilman Street in Berkeley in my all girl punk band. My never-ending devotion to music was ignited that night. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Lucinda Williams, Car Wheels On a Gravel Road
Nina Simone, The Best of Nina Simone
The Carter Family, RCA Country Legends: The Carter Family
I discovered country music through Lucinda's album. Nina Simone is always relevant and painfully beautiful. I am always comforted by her vocal presence. Maybelle Carter was country music's first lead guitar player. I pay homage daily. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song.
“Heaven's Name”
I just love the vocal and fiddle line on this one. The groove makes you wanna dance. It's circular in the way that old-time fiddle music can be. This tune always moves me. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
Performing Stagecoach 2022 was a blast. We played Nikki Lane's stage last spring. It was such a thrill to play at the largest country music festival in the world! Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
I would love to tour with one of my idols: Dolly Parton, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Gillian Welch. It's my dream to play The Ryman. I can see it, smell it and taste it.
