Denitia Finds Her Way Home on ‘Highways’

“Music has always had a spiritual nature for me, which I’m so grateful for. It has informed my viewpoint, how I want to treat music, how I wanna be in the music industry, and how I want to deliver my music.” – Denitia

Paisley Fields Proudly Drops ‘Limp Wrist’

“I take my life experiences and put that into my music. New York City is a very inspiring place. There’s a lot of country music here. There’s a lot of music here in general, and I think you can write country music without living in the country.” – Paisley Fields

Local Color: S.G. Goodman Serves Up Sounds of the Rural South on “Teeth Marks.”

“It’s really hard to go up and play an emotional set for people at the end of the day. No matter how much songwriters want to be songwriters, we’re also performers if we’re doing our job. I also wanted to just rock out some and, luckily, I was able to find some songs in the ether that allowed me to do that.” – @s.g.goodman on her new album, ‘Teeth Marks.’
