STACY ANTONEL
Imagine Tammy Wynette crossed with the Ventures and you’ll have an idea of the sonic world of Americana artist Stacy Antonel’s forthcoming EP, The Seahorses: Volume 1. Always a genre-defying artist, Antonel blends her passion for classic country, jazz and surf rock with this collection of songs, and the result is a fresh hybrid of musical styles that feels both vintage and hyper-modern. Recorded at Nashville’s Fitting Room Studio, the band includes heavy hitters Ethan Ballinger (Miranda Lambert), Joe Reed (Merle Haggard), Paul Sgroi (Josh Hedley) and San Diego jazz phenom Tony Econom.
SOPHIE GAULT
Sophie Gault makes alt-country music with the uncanny ability to toggle between the sweet and the gritty. But whichever direction she chooses, the result is always gripping, unapologetic, and deeply personal.
She has had to conquer inner foes — facing the debilitating mystery of bipolar disorder — but has emerged on the other side empowered and with the songs to show for it, each delivered with her lilting yet attitude-heavy voice. The storytelling is honest and vivid, and her guitar playing evokes the blues stylings of Bonnie Raitt and Mississippi John Hurt.
