Loud Guitars, Big Suspicions

Shannon Curfman

High-octane blues rock led by blistering Stratocaster solos and a raspy, soulful voice. A gritty debut that sounds like a late-night bar in the heart of the US.

It's like Bonnie Raitt and Stevie Ray Vaughan had a kid who grew up in a North Dakota bar.

A defiant and soulful display of technical prowess and emotional maturity that belies the artist's youth.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The explosive opening riff of 'Few and Far Between' that immediately establishes a guitar tone far heavier than typical teen-pop of the era.

The gritty, soulful vocal delivery on 'I Don't Make Promise (I Can't Break)' where her voice breaks with a seasoned maturity.

The extended, fluid guitar solo on 'Real Bad Feeling' that showcases technical proficiency and emotional phrasing.
