As we gear up for this weekend's Green River Festival, we're going to preview some of the band's earlier in the day. If you're going, you know you'll be there to see Charley Crockett, Spoon, The Beths, Kurt Vile, Geese, and Wednesday, so I'm going to make the case to show up earlier in the day to catch some up and coming bands that you'll end up loving.

Angela Autumn, Sunday, Back Porch Stage, 1:10

I discovered Angela Autumn while listening to the Green River Festival Spotify playlist, and was immediately blown away. The singer-songwriter was raised in the Appalachia region of Pennsylvania and now resides in Nashville. My favorite thing about her music is how she moves between modern folk pop and a more traditional style of roots music with ease. Her voice has such a natural twang, but also a smooth, more mainstream sound to it. I'm hearing a blend of Sierra Ferrell and Madi Diaz in her musical style, and you certainly can't beat that. Autumn is playing on an absolutely stacked Sunday that will see me wildly pinballing between stages, but I'll certainly be making time to check her set out.

Green River Festival takes place June 19-21 at Franklin County Fairgrounds in Greenfield, MA. You can find more information and tickets here.
