A Texas-born musician who blends bluegrass, folk, and subtle chamber textures.
For a sense of her sound, try 'Left Home' or 'Floating In The Balance'. They're good examples of how she writes without flash.
She started playing mandolin as a kid in Wimberley, Texas, and her records like 'Build Me Up from Bones' and 'Undercurrent' have a way of feeling both traditional and quietly adventurous. Songs like 'Gone Too Soon' and 'Floating In The Balance' show her knack for writing that doesn't shout but sticks with you. She's worked with players like Béla Fleck, and her music resists easy labels, which feels right for someone who's also stood by her choice to bring politics into her art.
She grew up with bluegrass from her father and released albums like 'Follow Me Down' and 'Undercurrent' over the years. The songs have stayed grounded in folk writing, even as she's drawn in jazz and chamber touches and faced some criticism for performing at a Democratic fundraiser 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.
