S.G. Goodman’s roots-inflected rock n’ roll uses gritty, haunting vocals to narrate the dual perspectives of her upbringing as the daughter of a crop farmer, and a queer woman coming out in a rural town. Her album, Teeth Marks, is what you might get if Flannery O’Connor and Lou Reed went on a road trip. Her songs analyze the way love between communities, families, and even one’s self can be influenced by trauma that lingers in the body.
Wax Wings is an original alt-country band from Gainesville led by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Chelsea Carnes. With distinctively forceful vocals, Carnes captivates with relatable and poetically crafted lyrics, strengthened and supported by her talented bandmates.
