Mamie Minch - "Deep Footsteps"

I first discovered Mamie Minch at the 2012 (I think?) Freshgrass Festival, and became enamoured with her combination of folk and blues. It's been a long, long time, but Minch is finally releasing new music. "Deep Footsteps," the first album off her upcoming EP, is a perfect intro to Minch. It's a down home folk/blues/soul song. There's no pretense here, just a great song from a great musician. "Deep Footsteps" leans a little more to the blues side of the musical spectrum than folk, but with Minch's voice, it's kind of hard not to at least be a little bluesy.

You can listen to "Deep Footsteps" below. Slow Burn, the upcoming EP from Mamie Minch, will be out August 18. You can pre-order a copy via Bandcamp. For more on Mamie Minch, check out the artist's Facebook page.
