Oxford, Mississippi's Kate Teague and New Orleans, Louisiana's Julie Odell have teamed up for their introductory tour together, weaving through the south, hitting the east coast and a bit of the midwest as these two incredible songwriters and consummate guitar players share the stage each night. Julie Odell is finishing her debut record but quietly released two incredible tracks last year that bring together her immersive storytelling abilities and idiosyncratic vocals into these compelling, commanding songs. Odell's Tiny Desk Contest entry was highlighted by Marissa Lorusso who said she "sings with a distinct, smoky-yet-childlike voice...she sings a song of grit, loss and perseverance."
Kate Teague has released two impeccable singles so far in 2018 with a debut release on Muscle Beach Recordings slated for 2019. Kate Teague's most recenty single, "Good To You," is an upbeat summer jam, guided by Teague's precise, emotive guitar lines and a disco-infused rhythm section. The track is a rumination on our self-examination, specifically when it bites us in the ass. Teague explains that "Good To You" is about her "struggle with comparing myself as a partner to other people as partners, and relaying my frustration at inopportune times... like at a wedding." "Good To You" follows on the heels of her debut single, the laid-back slacker "Low Life" that was released earlier this year, that first showcased Teague's incredible, raw, soaring, emotion-packed vocals.
