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 U.S. and Europe. She is a constant collaborator, both as a cowriter with Peter Bradley Adams and Jamey Johnson among others, and appears on albums by Joy Williams, Jeffrey Foucault and Darlingside.
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 pre-parenthood 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.
Night Owl Envies the Mourning Dove finds Canty in the producer chair for the first time. Co-produced alongside Sam Kassirer (Josh Ritter), the album was recorded live at Great North Sound Society in rural Maine over 4 days with Rich Hinman (guitars), Jeremy Moses Curtis (bass), Ray Rizzo (drums) and Kassirer (keys). Matt Lorenz (The Suitcase Junket) joins on backing vocals. All
songs on the record are entirely from Canty’s own pen, with the exception of "Heartache Don't Live Here" written with Jamey Johnson, which serves as both the coda and encore of the album.
Night Owl Envies the Mourning Dove releases on October 2, 2025 with the first singles out May 22.
