"I want to relate to people in their most vulnerable state; to inspire people most scarred..."
When Angel Snow sings, she hands her heart to the listener. Onstage she pours out raw emotion through honest and introspective music. Her unique sound--classic Americana folk coupled with a modern edge--provides a soulful backdrop for lyrics based on everything from personal experiences to vivid dreams. The result of this heartfelt songwriting is a labor of love, her debut album, Fortune Tellers.
Eventually Angel settled in Nashville, another step toward running down her lifelong dream of sharing her music. She had spent five years traveling and performing all over the country, her voice bringing to life venues in New York, Wyoming, Montana, Pennsylvania, California, Chattanooga, and Atlanta.
Musical talent came naturally and easily to Angel growing up in Chickamauga, Georgia. It was a 3rd grade homework assignment to write several poems that gave her a first glimpse at her life's path. Songwriting soon grew to be Angel's most passionate artistic outlet. She recalls, "It was the only way I could truly find out who I was. It's great when you finally have an idea of what life is about"... At age 15 she began playing guitar and putting music with the lyrics she had been working on for years. It was in high school that Angel began playing in talent competitions and anywhere else she was given the opportunity.
Angel, the youngest of three siblings, was named by her older brothers, who were five and three when she was born. Growing up, her brothers influenced her love for all kinds of music with their own varied tastes. While one brother liked old folk and classical music, the other brother brought home CDs by Faith No More and The Cure. Angel was influenced by all these styles and continues to embrace all genres, listing Leonard Cohen, Robert Smith, Thom Yorke, Otis Redding and Elliott Smith as her own favorite musicians.

Cool that you're playing in your "honorary" home city of Knoxville twice in one week. I won't be at the Blue Plate, but I will see you at Barley's on Saturday.
No no no mama, ain't ging up on logic. Such is the core of sanity. Sound choices pave the way to a healthier existence. But our emotions are a deterrent from logic, leading us into illogical state if they rule us. Developing the discipline to get our emotions in check is what separates the human from an animal.
But the wayside is where we usually end up. Most of us seek logic in a glass of merlot, or a guitar - then a song is created.
