Caitlin Cannon’s songwriting expertly balances humor and vulnerability. She delivers sharp, cutting lyrics with a wink, while introspective moments explore themes of loss and addiction. Her EP, Beggar, showcased this emotional range, with standouts like “Amarillo and Little Rock” and the poignant “Waiting,” a biographical track about her brother’s incarceration that earned an honorable mention as Song of the Year at Saving Country Music.
Think ‘cosmicana’—a sonic landscape as deep as Cannon’s storytelling produced by Misa Arriaga (Kacey Musgraves, Willie Nelson) where dreamy Americana meets classic country. The genre bend makes sense given Cannon’s broad influences from early ’90’s country icons like Patty Loveless and Pam Tillis (who has cameoed in Cannon’s music videos) and fringe Americana artists like Jenny Lewis, Elizabeth Cook and Lucinda Williams.
Critics have taken notice. Saving Country Music has said, “She’s not a songwriter for the winners; she's a songwriter for the broken, the downtrodden, the losers, the motherf—rs. She sings about real sh— that most other songwriters don't have the guts to broach.”
Beyond music, Cannon is a force of creative energy. From her comedic debut on Kill Tony to teaching songwriting to inmates through her Beyond Bars program, she defies easy categorization. Her work is to be featured on Meg Ryan’s upcoming series Empowered, highlighting her commitment to bridging art and social impact.
