Prior to I go any even more, I wish to give a substantial shoutout to 2 YouTube channels that I constantly use to help me discover new music: @GemsOnVHS and @Western AF. The folks at these channels are remarkable, so keep up the great! If you enjoy discovering brand-new acoustic music, these channels are great resources!
In today’s episode, I really stove not to function artists who have actually already made it in the music industry, ie Molly Tuttle or Sierra Hull. They’re unbelievable artists, do not get me wrong. However, the artists today are 10 new artists to me and to the Acoustic Tuesday Program.
So, without additional ado, let’s dive right into my list of the 10 women who are leaving their mark on acoustic music.
# 10: Kaia Kater
@Kaia Kateris a banjo player who is a dazzling artist. Her capability to take advantage of area and silence within her music enables her voice to actually fill out her plans and structures. The tone she leaves her banjo is very well balanced, too! Uncomplicated and moving, I highly recommend you take a look at Kaia Kater!
# 9: Libby Decamp
Another banjo player, I discovered Libby on both Gems on VHS and Western AF. While Kaia Kater’s banjo playing was more nuanced, Libby picks more aggressively on her banjo. Her voice has a small waver as well when she sings, which I totally like. The lyricism in her tunes is also remarkable.,
# 8: Kassi Valazza
The word that enters your mind when I think of Kassi Valazza is cinematic. Certainly more in the category of Nation than folk, Kassi just evokes a spaghetti western ambiance in her music. She paints sonic pictures in such a vivid way that I’m kicking myself over not listening to her earlier in my musical career!
# 7: Tune Walker
A multi-instrumentalist who I have actually seen in a range of different settings, Melody Walker strikes me as an incredible songwriter and artist. I desire to highlight the lyrical expertise she displays on nearly all of her structures. In truth, she ended up composing a tune with Molly Tuttle!
# 6: Kiki Cavazos
A voice like something between Bob Dylan and Loretta Lynn, Kiki Cavazos is a piercing songwriter that imitates the old-school nation design of Hank Williams Sr. She’s likewise a Montana homeowner, so I’m twice as sad that I have not found her work sooner! She has such an old-school sound that sounds straight from a bygone era.
# 5: Rhiannon Giddens
One of the most gifted, powerful songwriters on the banjo today, @Rhiannon Giddensis an expressive instrumentalist and a notable songwriter. The tone that she communicates with her playing is simply astonishing. On top of being a musical eager beaver, she is an activist who I believe is guiding the acoustic music neighborhood in the ideal direction.
