Stokes County musician Laurelyn Dossett has released her debut album How Many Moons, produced by M.C. Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger. It’s surprising that this is her first solo project, considering how her songs have already made it into the works of various TV and film programs, Levon Helm, and Rhiannon Giddens.

Kiah, a Tennessee-bred artist known for blending traditional roots influences with indie and rock sounds, has built a career on turning deeply personal experiences into music. Her songs frequently explore identity, grief, trauma, family relationships, and self-discovery.

Get ready for some “Swampytonkin’” music, as Paige calls it. Raised on a farm near the muddy banks of the Mississippi River, the Austin-based singer-songwriter and pianist is back with her second full-length album, Swampwater. Recorded at Austin’s famed Finishing School and produced by Jonathan Tyler, Swampwater is a raw collection born from personal experiences, navigating love, loss, heartbreak, and grief, before ultimately heading to the honky-tonk to sing the blues away.
