items As a former Music Supervisor, (someone who curates soundtracks & licenses music in TV & Film) I’ve made playlists for a living. This career allowed me to have my ear to the ground to some of the best albums. These are some of my favourites of...
Bright Future by Adrianne Lenker: For folk lovers, this is some of Adrianne’s best work. (For fans of Big Theif, Joni Mitchell & Twain).

Tigers Blood by Waxahatchee: My fav americana folk album. This is Katie’s best work. Her lyricism is real, raw and comes across as effortless. (For fans of Lucinda Williams & Loretta Lynn)
Tigers Blood by Waxahatchee
Chandler by Wyatt C. Louis: This Indigenous “Canadian” folk artist has made one of the most beautiful records of the year, (in my opinion). (For fans of Andy Shauf & Neil Young).
