On Stage 8/31 – Angel Snow

When Angel Snow sings, she hands her heart to the listener. Onstage she pours out raw emotion through honest and introspective music. Her unique sound–classic Americana folk coupled with a modern edge–provides a soulful backdrop for lyrics based on everything from personal experiences to vivid dreams. The result of this heartfelt songwriting is a labor of love, her debut album, “Fortune Tellers.”

Angel settled in Nashville to continue running down her lifelong dream of sharing her music. She had spent five years traveling and performing all over the country, her voice bringing to life venues in New York, Wyoming, Montana, Pennsylvania, California, Chattanooga, and Atlanta.

Musical talent came naturally and easily to Angel growing up in tiny Chickamauga, Georgia. It was an elementary school homework assignment to write a song that gave her a first glimpse at her life’s path. Songwriting soon grew to be Angel’s most passionate artistic outlet. She recalls, “It was the only way I could truly know and find out who I was. The only way I could express myself. It’s everything to me.”

On Stage 8/31 – Amelia White

Raised In Virginia, and based in Nashville, Amelia White cut her musical teeth in the New England area, in the same scene that produced Mary Gauthier, Lori McKenna and Sarah Borges. Her music has been described as hard rocking -folkin -alt-art country… but her songs and strong melodic style rise above categorization. Her Albums “Blue Souvenirs” and “Black Doves” (Funzalo Records 2006) put her on the map with critical acclaims nationwide, steady non-com radio play, and appearances on E-Town and NPR’s All Songs Considered. A few TV placements further exposed her talents.

Amelia comments “The songs come out of me hard and heavy – regularly. They walk the line between Neo Folk, raw well made rock, and rootsy pop. They have a lot of heart, and a good dose of intellect, and every few songs have a political and social consciousness….sometimes you have to listen twice to get em, though some can easily grab hold of you like an old Hank Williams. Some call them Indie Country, some Americana, Some Folk Rock. To me they are the stories of my life and love and what I see in my friends eyes, strangers stories. They are miniature 3-3 1/2 minute films.”
