Kelsey Waldon

Kelsey Waldon is one of Country music's most singular voices. Across four acclaimed full-length albums full of both "heavy twang and spitfire pedal steel" and "coffeehouse confessionals" (Rolling Stone), she's brought listeners into her world and shared her own experiences and perspectives. Her new project, There's Always a Song (released May 10th via Oh Boy Records/Thirty Tigers), however, is about the singular voices that shaped her into the artist she is today.
​
Waldon's band was a key inspiration for the new album. The songs are among those they frequently listen to in the van while on tour; Waldon and fiddler Libby Weitnauer, in particular, have bonded over their love of old-time and Appalachian music.
They'd been out on the road for much of the year before they entered Nashville's Creative Workshop studio (prominently featured in Heartworn Highways and a longtime Nashville staple) to make this record, which Waldon co-produced with GRAMMY Award-winning engineer/mixer/producer Justin Francis.
