Angela Easterling - Common Law Wife

Greer, South Carolina Throughout her career, beginning with her 2007 debut album, Earning Her Wings, which was chosen as Americana Pick of the Year by Smart Choice Music, Easterling has embraced her heritage in a big way as a writer and an artist. Her second album, 2009s BlackTop Road, debuted on the Americana Top 40 chart, where it remained for seven weeks, and it was chosen as a top pick in both Oxford American and Country Weekly. One of its songs, The Picture, was named the years best political country song by the Boston Herald. Easterlings other albums include 2011s Beguiler, which featured special guest Byron House (Robert Plants Band of Joy), and 2012s Mon Secret, which is notable for being sung entirely in French with original songs by Easterling and her co-writer, Marianne Bessy. Recognized as a top-notch songwriter in roots music circles, Easterling was selected for an official Americana Convention Showcase and is also a three-time Kerrville New Folk Finalist (2009, 2010, 2015), a Telluride Troubadour (2011) and a two-time Wildflower Performing Songwriter Finalist (2012, 2015). Easterling was invited to appear on the WSM-hosted stage at CMA Music Festival/Fan Fair, where her entire set was broadcast live, and she has appeared on the nationally broadcast public radio program, Michael Feldmans WhadYa Know, the popular ETV show, Making It Grow, and has been interviewed by noted NPR journalist Bob Edwards.
