Caitlin Canty

Americana singer-songwriter Caitlin Canty is touring in support of her new album, Motel Bouquet. Songs like the single “Scattershot” are quiet and ominously withdrawn, giving Canty’s voice room to echo over musical landscapes that recall long empty roads and small, lonely towns. Like she did on her last record, Reckless Skyline, Canty works with a group of talented folk instrumentalists based in Nashville. With Corey Mathew Hart.

press release: Canty debuted the moving “Scattershot” at Rolling Stone Country.

“The ominous ballad evokes powerful weather, starting out as a slow lilt and building to a stormy ensemble of acoustic instruments, with Canty's soft voice gliding smoothly overhead,” says RS Country.

“Scattershot” paints a soul at the mercy of a storm as floodwaters rise; “First it’s filling up the wells / And it’s rolling through the streets of this town / Over the steps of the motel / Lightning tore the sky from the clouds / Now it’s rising to the rafters / Climbing up the steeple / Ringing all the bells / Ringing all the bells.”
