No Depression-CROWDFUNDING RADAR: Roots Music Projects That Span Genres and the Globe

If any of this week’s featured artists are a “traditional” Americana performer, it’s Amelia White; but that only points to how far afield the others are because there’s nothing traditional about White. A fixture in the East Nashville music and poetry scene for years, White is one of the artists locals flock to when everyone else is at one of the other, more nationally known, shows across the river. Rocket Rearview was written in part during the pandemic lockdowns and in the politically fraught aftermath of seditious conspiracies and disastrous court rulings. Working with producer Dave Coleman, White has assembled an impressive list of collaborators including Erin Rae, Irakli Gabriel (David Olney & Anana Kaye), Chris Benelli (Kim Richey), and Paul Niehaus. The album is available for pre-order in digital and limited-edition CD formats. Other backer perks include a signed copy of White’s poetry book Home on the Strange, a songwriting mentoring session, and a monthly letter for a year.
