Sera Cahoone to Play Rockwood Music Hall June 15th

The pedal steel, the fiddle, the hush of a song sung from the heart—the world of American roots music is no stranger to Seattle songwriter Sera Cahoone. After three albums on Sub Pop Records and years at the top of the indie charts, she’s returning to her earliest influences. Growing up, Cahoone's father, a Rocky Mountain dynamite salesman, took the family to mining conferences at old honky-tonks. The sounds she heard there—the twang of country crooners, cowboy boots on peanut shells—have found their way into a new album, From Where I Started. It’s an album about falling in and out of love, finding new hope, and learning that the best way to move forward is to remember where you began. 

One of the most compelling tracks of the album is Ladybug, which is about the death of Cahoone's cousin Tawnee at the hands of a domestic partner. While many country songs explore domestic violence, most do so in a heterosexual context, Ladybug is original in that it sheds light on the often hidden issues of domestic violence in queer relationships. Ladybug was one NPR's 'Songs We Love' after it debuted this February. For more information on Cahoone visit HERE.
