Alyssa found this song and shared it with me, and within a few listens, I was hooked. Check out the whole album.
If some see folk as a tradition-focused discipline belonging to decades past, Creekbed Carter Hogan stands as living proof of the genre’s future-forward dynamism. Released via Arkansas-based “unAmericana” label Gar Hole Records, the trans songwriter’s self-titled release packs enough open-road mysticism, brokenhearted yearning, and laugh-out-loud wit to fill their signature pinch-front cowboy hat. In the folk lineage, the Oregon native excels at penning tracks that land both like a warm hug and a dagger to the heart.
