Caitlin Canty’s songs harness the grit and spark at the heart of American music, tempered with a voice both haunting and distinct. Since the release of her critically-acclaimed Reckless Skyline in 2015, Canty has put thousands of miles on her songs, touring throughout the US and Europe. She is a constant collaborator, both as a cowriter with Jamey Johnson and Peter Bradley Adams among others, and appears on albums by Joy Williams and Darlingside. She has performed at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, FreshGrass, and Green Mountain Bluegrass and Roots Festival. She has opened for Mary Chapin Carpenter, Josh Ritter, The Milk Carton Kids, and Gregory Alan Isakov.
She won the Telluride Troubadour songwriting competition at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 2015. Her song, “Get Up,” was nominated for Song of the Year in the Folk Alliance International Music Awards and was featured on NPR Music’s, “Songs We Love.” Her songs have appeared in film and TV, including Code Black, House of Cards, Money Heist, and Rebuilding, and have garnered over 40 million streams on Spotify alone.
Caitlin Canty’s new record, Night Owl Envies the Mourning Dove is her fifth studio release and marks a return to her roots, a grittier and more electric Americana sound with echoes of her critically-acclaimed 2015 album, Reckless Skyline. Recorded live in the studio while nearly 8 months pregnant with her second child, the songs can be seen in the light of major shifts in Canty’s life, from preparenthood city life in Nashville to her present day filled to the brim with family and nature, living on top of a mountain in southern Vermont.
