Born in Shreveport, Louisiana and a native of Bethany, Texas, she’s really more a child of America — a self-described “General Motors brat” whose father’s jobs kept her small family frequently on the move.

Matt Bauer grew up in Kentucky, and his music is rooted in the sounds and natural surroundings of the region. His melodies and banjo style bear the markings of traditional mountain music, bluegrass and early country, but his sound is distinctly contemporary. The lyrics live unflinchingly in the present and the arrangements draw on influences as varied as gamelan orchestras and post-rock.
