If you’re not subscribing to our monthly supporters newsletter you’ll be missing out on our exclusive supporters playlist of the best new americana we’ve heard over the last few weeks which this month includes new tracks by Son Volt, Phosphorescent, Margo Price, Jenny Reynolds and Bella White among others – as always we trawl through the best Americana we’ve heard recently so you don’t have to.
For our giveaway for August for one lucky supporter we have a pair of tickets to see acclaimed North Carolina-based singer, songwriter and performer Dawn Landes live later this month. Landes will take to the road in Europe as special guest of Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, with stops in the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark, concluding with a headline London show at The Golden Hinde. Dawn Landes’ versatile career spans celebrated solo albums, global tours, and innovative musical theatre projects. Known for her compelling and haunting vocals, she has earned praise from outlets like NPR, Spin, Uncut, CMP, RNR, KLOF and of course AUK, while amassing a worldwide audience.
Her diverse body of work includes the 10th-anniversary tour of her celebrated album Bluebird and the Audible-released musical Row, which tells the story of Tori Murden McClure. Landes also explores the depth of childhood through family-focused projects like the 2019 album My Tiny Twilight and her new EP, Catch a Little Sun, and traces the Women’s Rights Movement with her powerful The Liberated Woman’s Songbook album and shows. Recently, she has spearheaded the “Well, I Declare” project, a musical response to the Declaration of Independence that showcases her commitment to blending historical relevance with timeless folk and rock traditions.
