An Illinois-born singer-songwriter whose covers and originals feel lived-in and direct.
If you want to hear her at her most direct, try 'When I'm Alone' first. For something quieter, 'Watch Over Me' shows how she can build a mood with just a few chords.
Her version of 'You Are My Sunshine' strips the song back to something raw and personal, not just nostalgic. That approach carries through to originals like 'When I'm Alone,' where the arrangement stays simple so her voice can do the heavy lifting. She's one of those artists who makes folk-rock feel unadorned and immediate, not like a museum piece.
She started writing songs as a teenager in Rock Island, Illinois, then moved to Los Angeles to pursue music. Her debut 'Catching a Tiger' arrived in 2010, and after some time away she returned with 'My Wild West' in 2016 and 'Castles' in 2019.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
