A nostalgic, raw folk artist.
Recorded in New Orleans, ‘Goodbye Blues’ marks the emergence of a songwriting talent with power comparable to that of Blaze Foley or Townes Van Zandt. Time spent drifting from the northwest to Mexico to New Orleans and now to Montana has kept her off of the industry’s radar until recently. Now, following her Newport Folk Fest appearance, she opened concerts for Big Thief and the Deslondes. Her performances on the Western AF have combined to garner over 200k views with the tastemaker site calling her “the GOAT.” Cavazos’ fans include Esther Rose, Benjamin Todd (Lost Dog Street Band), Riley Downing, Chris Acker, and Luke Bell. She collaborated as a member of a band (called Sundown Songs) with Alynda Lee Segarra (of Hurray For the Riff Raff) and Sam Doores (of The Deslondes), the latter of whom produced this album.
Kiki Cavazos plays raw acoustic folk and Americana rooted in traditional songwriting, sparse instrumentation, and evocative storytelling.
Kiki Cavazos was born in Montana and has spent time living and recording in traditional music hubs like New Orleans.
