Tania Elizabeth, Storm Season

As fiddle player for the Avett Brothers, Grammy-winning founder of The Duhks, and go-to collaborator for artists like Mary Gauthier, Tania Elizabeth has spent two decades shaping the arc of modern-day roots music. She refocuses the spotlight on her own music with Storm Season, a solo album whose sonic textures are as dynamic and diverse as the songwriter who created them.

"I've always backed other people," she says. "I'm really good at supporting other musicians and holding down the fort so they can shine, but I've rarely had anybody else hold that space for me. With Storm Season, I'm investing in myself for the first time."

Storm Season soothes, balancing its own urgency with the comforting salve of Tania's voice and the rootsy sweep of her multi-layered arrangements. This is music that targets the heart as well as the head. It's the latest chapter in a life story that's still being written. It's the sound of a lifelong musician who's making a return to centerstage, armed with the most compelling music of her career.
