Discography

Homecoming Queen release
Single2025

Homecoming Queen

"Homecoming Queen" explores the quiet cost of becoming the woman the world expects you to be instead of the woman you are.

Fork & Spoon release
Single2025

Fork & Spoon

With a wink and a tear, "Fork & Spoon" turns a broken heart into a lonesome country waltz made for a dusty jukebox.

Honeybee release
Single2024

Honeybee

Honeybee is a tender but clear-eyed look at loving someone through addiction, and learning where devotion ends and self-preservation begins.

Canyon Ridge release
Single2024

Canyon Ridge

With driving drums and electric guitars, "Canyon Ridge" is a raw, roots-rock reflection on abandonment, circumstance, and the stories behind the lives we're quick to judge.

Nothing Ever Keeps release
Single2024

Nothing Ever Keeps

"Nothing Ever Keeps" finds hope in the midst of grief, a reminder that the same change that carries things away also makes room for what comes next.

Caroline release
Single2023

Caroline

Set to a deceptively buoyant country groove, "Caroline" tells the story of a woman caught in the immediate aftermath of Roe v. Wade's overturning, when a medical crisis suddenly becomes a political one.

Sugar Shine release
EP2022

Sugar Shine

With an earthy, acoustic sound and a storyteller's eye, Sugar Shine finds light and shadow in the ordinary places where love, doubt, and everyday life meet.
