Emily McLoud’s six-track solo EP, Sugar Shine, is a beautiful blend of folk poetry and ballads, and thoughtful prose that honor nature, roots, and the every day. Her songs are sweet as honeysuckle and include subtle bluegrass notes and colorful storytelling. A mix of upright bass, acoustic guitar, drums with brushes, pedal steel, and mandolin, this release is perfect for blue- or starry-skied singalongs — with words and notes that are sure to stick.
