Adobe & Teardrops Interviews Grace Morrison

Grace Morrison has spent most of her musical career seeking refuge from the spotlight. Whether it was singing backup for rock icons like Eddie Money and Joey Molland (of Badfinger fame), or trying to blend in with various bandmates, being the center of attention has never been comfortable for her. Fast forward to 2020, and just like for most of us, she spent a lot of time deciding what she really wanted after being told what she couldn’t do — in her case, play music for people.

With her new album, Daughter, Morrison establishes herself as a confident, refreshing voice in country-pop. The 12-song collection is certain to find favor with fans of the storytelling and delivery of Jewel and Lisa Loeb, as well as with those who enjoy singing along with Boyz II Men on their car stereo.

For Folk’s Sake Interviews Dominique Pruitt

Dominique Pruitt’s ridden a tumultuous past few years. Now, she’s come out on the other side with an EP coming on 2 July. From losing her job, to navigating a global pandemic, and moving out of Los Angeles, it’s been one hit after another. Yet, the artist has persevered, and the end result is smoother tides and one heck of a five-song collection with Praying for Rain.

It’s a soulful vintage, spanning Americana influences the years over. Throughout, Pruitt’s voice rings clear, resonant whether she’s navigating jangly rockabilly melodies towards darker beats of country noir. Ahead of Praying for Rain’s release, Pruitt joined For Folk’s Sake in its ongoing ‘FFS 5’ series.

American Songwriter Interviews Dominique Pruitt About Returning Song

Three years ago, Dominique Pruitt made a cannonball splash with her Nancy Sinatra shaker “High in the Valley.” The singer-songwriter now returns with a grand gesture in the form of her teary-eyed “Even My Roses are Blue,” co-written with her father and legacy act Larry “L.A.” Brown (The Association, Smothers Brothers). “My heart’s in a million pieces,” she laments over golden horn blasts.

When you were in my life, I thought I had it all / I really had no clue, she confides, tugging the listener ever closer. Just how many tears could fall / I thought you were someone else / But in the end I found out who.

“Inspiration can strike any place. Pretty sure I saw dyed blue roses at the market and thought of the title,” Pruitt tells American Songwriter, with a laugh. “But really, when you’re breaking up, it feels like the whole world is tinged with a somber hue. I thought, ‘If your whole world is so blue with sadness and heartache, that even the roses are blue.’ This song came from an urge to write something very retro at that moment.”

Glide Magazine Premieres Dominique Pruitt’s New EP

Cathing a few bad breaks is one thing, but imagine if your record label folded and right when you’re about to play the prestigious Stagecoach Festival in Spring 2020…well you know the story. Dominque Pruitt was on the short end of this musical stick, yet we can bet her shag-carpeted neon light-hued rock with surf guitar, twangy vocals, and pop splendor would sound damn perfect out via Palm Springs way.

The Boot Premieres “Bird on a Wire” Music Video from Van Plating

Singer-songwriter Van Plating went the spontaneous route when creating her newest music video, for her single “Bird on a Wire.” The clip, premiering exclusively on The Boot, captures both the golden hour of a summertime afternoon in Florida and the lyrics’ dreamy, pensive qualities.

“Usually when I create a visual for my work, there’s an inspo board and a storyline. It’s all mapped out well ahead of time and styled to the T,” Plating tells The Boot. “This one wasn’t.”
