Admiral Radio, the award-winning folk/Americana act from South Carolina, is the creative partnership of Coty Hoover and Becca Smith. Named after their old wooden radio, this husband-and-wife team blends heartfelt harmonies, storytelling, and raw sincerity. Having met while waiting tables in South Carolina’s Lowcountry, their sound is straightforward yet powerful—rooted in tight vocal interplay and finely picked acoustic instruments. Inspired by the everyday, their songs explore life lessons, the quiet hustle of ordinary life, and the dogged optimism that drives it all.
The duo has three independently-produced albums under their belt; their debut original record Sounds Like You (2020) and Songs From the Vault (2022), an EP of songs from the public domain. Their latest album, Good Things Take Time (2024), has garnered critical acclaim and national radio play, with tracks like "Look Back and Learn" praised by American Songwriter for its 'power to help and heal'. The group has also earned finalist and first-place honors in prestigious songwriting competitions around the country, including Kerrville NewFolk, the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, the International Bluegrass Music Association's Official Songwriter Showcase, and the MerleFest Band Competition.
Known for their energetic and emotional live shows, Admiral Radio has shared stages with bluegrass legend Del McCoury, folkgrass icon Molly Tuttle, pop-rock sensation Judah & the Lion, and more. From humble beginnings to their growing buzz, Admiral Radio is redefining the folk tradition with every mile down America's backroads.Inspired by their 1941 wooden Admiral radio, this South Carolina- based husband and wife duo creates an Americana sound rooted in tradition that touches the heartstrings of the modern-day listener. With tight vocal harmonies, endearing storytelling and authentic energy, Becca and Coty hold a presence that is palpable and real, both on and off stage.
