Pittsburgh area native Angela Autumn, now a Nashville resident, has been making waves with her distintive vocals, blurring of the folk, country, and more...0 indie genres, and versatility in both acoustic and electric formats. Equal parts twang and tender, youthfully optimistic and world weary, the young songstress' command of emotion belies her years, carving a new niche in Appalachian-born music where all roads lead back to the human heart. We are super excited to host Angela for the first concert in our 2025 series!
