Биография

With a Faulknerian Southern-Gothic storytelling style, her lyrics weave vivid imagery of a life lived with authenticity and grit, always paying homage to her Delta roots. The rough-around-the edges, and righteously primal sounds of her slide resonator guitar, bellows, stomps, claps and hollers will leave you baptized by the Blues and grounded in the truths of an old-soul. Her television appearances include PBS' Sun Sessions, and she represented Team Blake Shelton on the fourth season of NBC's The Voice. Since Jan. 1, 2018, Askew has written and live-streamed a new original song daily for her loyal Facebook and Instagram followers. The daily songwriting challenge will continued through to the end of 2019 until she officially completed writing 730 songs in 730 days. The social media performance series has featured collaborations with various songwriting legends and Askew stalwarts, including Joe Leathers (Guy Clark, Kenny Chesney). Her songs have even caught the attention of brands like Stetson, Wrangler, and Tecovas Boots, all of which have signed her on as a model. "Astoundingly defiant." -- Spin "Badass." -- Yahoo Music "Raw, real and righteous." -- Rolling Stone "...one of the most prolific songwriters ... A Bobbie Gentry incarnate who is also the first of her kind, Askew is Dolly Parton-level creative." -- CMT.com
