Concert Double-Bill: Canyon & Riley Cotton

Riley Cotton

The Texas transplant Americana singer has been described as “…An old-school type of songwriter whose songs and performance are able to cross space and time to touch that part of your brain where love, loss, happiness, and longing all co-exist”.

The New England Music Award nominee finds beauty amid loss, upheaval, and betrayal.

“Falling Of The Fervor,” is a six-song EP,  released late last year.  It is a folk-rock soundscape reminiscent of idols Gillian Welch and Brandi Carlile — framed by brushed snares, wreathed in plucked and strummed acoustic guitars, honeyed by pedal steel.

“Every now and then you hear a record from an artist and think, ‘this is the record that’s going to put them on the map’. That’s the kind of potential harnessed on The Falling of the Fervor. ” — Top Connecticut Albums 2024 | The Metal Dad
“Her transcendence is coming on fast and her light shines irreversibly into those dark corners.”   — The Westerly Sun
