Recent Nashville transplant Caitlin Canty delivers her songs with a dusky alto and a 1930’s Recording King guitar and this year released her critically acclaimed new album, Reckless Skyline.
Produced by acclaimed songwriter Jeffrey Foucault and featuring an all-star band, the twelve songs veer nimbly between country ballads and straight-up rockers, dark blues and sparsely arranged folk.
Canty hits the road again in support of Skyline, kicking off a Spring tour on May 24 in Bear Valley, CA that will extend through the summer; hitting Berkeley, LA, Telluride, Chicago, Minneapolis, Cambridge, MA and many points in between.
The West Coast dates will be performed as a duo with Eric Heywood (Ray LaMontagne’s Pariah Dogs, Tift Merritt, The Pretenders) on guitars and pedal steel.
Caitlin just released a full band video of her cover of Neil Young’s, “Unknown Legend”, recorded at the Town Hall Theater in Vermont during the album release tour. View below:
The studio and touring band on Skyline features Billy Conway (Morphine) on drums, Jeffrey Foucault on guitars and backing vocals, Jeremy Moses Curtis (Booker T) on bass, Eric Heywood (Ray LaMontagne’s Pariah Dogs, Tift Merritt, The Pretenders) on pedal steel and electric guitars and Matt Lorenz (Rusty Belle, Chris Smither) on pump organ, banjo, piano and fiddle.
