Description

Sarah Lee Langford mixes elements of the Old South and the New West with Appalachian melodies reminiscent of Joni Mitchell and Loretta Lynn. The new Homewood Theatre Music Series presents Sarah Lee Langford! She will be playing from her latest album, Two Heart Rounder, which is on a precipice. More specifically: A barstool – a place where life is messy, but the whiskey is neat. It’s here that one of her protagonists is given a proposition – one that has her reckoning the pain of her recent past against the thrill of newfound freedoms. Her music is blessed with loose limbs as well as deadly aim. Much like Langford’s own musical roots, her songs embody a well-crafted blend of Appalachian austerity, cosmic country, and honky tonk funk that make for a great night of music. Sarah Lee Langford's grooves are satisfying, and the melodies indelible, but it’s her incisive writing that will keep listeners coming back for more. Langford clearly knows Americana archetypes inside and out, but it’s her ability to imbue them with contemporary humor, beauty, and acidity that gives her both a big heart and sharp claws.
