Esmé Patterson w/Abby Jeanne

Expand

Esmé Patterson is the kind of performer who makes it feel like every other country singer is doing it wrong. A veteran of the indie-folk ensemble Paper Bird, the Colorado singer specializes in particularly ebullient style of Americana—all rollicking electric riffs, forward hooks and cheery, jumpy vocals. Even the weepy numbers on her memorable 2016 solo effort, We Were Wild, have an uplifting energy to them. In 2016, she also released a 7-inch split with fellow troubadour William Elliott Whitmore.
