Critic's Pick: Angela Autumn w/Maisy Owen

Here’s a bill featuring two Nashville singer-songwriters who explore different aspects of post-folk music. For Angela Autumn — who grew up in Fombell, Pa., and moved to Nashville in 2019 — folk and country provide the backdrop for the indie Americana of her 2026 album Believer. I hear similarities to, say, Sierra Ferrell’s work, and you might discern the influence of Gillian Welch or Lilly Hiatt. Believer peaks with “Electric Lizard,” in which she sings: “Off the walls of this honky-tonk, my disguise / Is only as good as my fucking lies.” Autumn’s music contains plenty of hooks, and something titled “Heavy Tobacco” lines out her slightly oblique take on the vicissitudes of romance as it’s experienced by a traveling singer-songwriter. Meanwhile, Maisy Owen grew up in Nashville with a songwriting father, Gwil Owen, and her music leans to the folk side. If you added some 1960s-style production and arrangement touches to her 2026 debut album Dark on a Sunny Day, you might compare her to Vashti Bunyan. The music on Dark on a Sunny Day is as melancholic as the title suggests, and Owen sings in a subdued tone. File Owen’s album with Margaret Glaspy’s new full-length I Am Both, another release that takes the post-folk aesthetic into new areas.
