Description
Hailing from Mississippi, Afton Wolfe has become a fixture in the East Nashville music scene over the last two decades. With his latest release – the 13-song album Ophiuchus – Afton has cemented his place among Nashville’s – and American music’s – most creative and artistic songsmiths. The album, which was released one-song-at-a-time and coordinated with the sun’s movement through the Zodiac, has garnered praise from fans and critics alike.
For the last few years, Wolfe’s output musically has been impressive in quantity – Petrionius’ Last Meal (EP 2021), Kings for Sale (LP 2022), Twenty-Three (EP 2023), The Harvest (EP 2023), appearing on Can’t Steal My Fire: The Songs of David Olney (alongside such luminaries as Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Townes Van Zandt, Willis Alan Ramsey, Mary Gauthier and more), and releasing cover collaborations on “Ooh La La” (with Cary Hudson) and “Dead Flowers” (with Jaimee Harris) – and quality, earning praise and acclaim worldwide:
“Sentiments that linger well after the final notes fade away, a mood and mystique that are exceptionally affecting.” – American Songwriter
“Wolfe stands among the country’s most valuable troubadours, blending Americana, blues, country, jazz, and rock into songs that reflect the full spectrum of life and beyond.
Wolfe is the anti-pop star in the most treasured sense." – Glide Magazine
Regularly hosting, organizing, and/or performing at the annual Get Behind the Mule Tribute to Tom Waits and Benefit for Second Harvest, hosting various themed parties, like the Sad Songs Only Barbeque and the Idiot Box Halloween Party, appearing annually at the Tropic of Cancer Festival, alongside Andy Frasco & the U.N., The Mother Hips, Cordovas, Lettuce, John Craigie, Judy Blank, Courtney Santana, etc…, and touring the United States several times over, Wolfe has built a solid and loyal following that is constantly treated to new music.
Praise for Ophiuchus:
“Ophiuchus is an album that believes music can be a signal flare, a prayer and a map all rolled into one.” – Mystic Sons
“By far, Ophiuchus is Wolfe’s most definitive statement to date.” – Glide Magazine
“Intimate and immediate, visceral and marinated in passionate emotions, Ophiuchus is at once simple, complex, and top-notch.” – Glide Magazine
“A thoughtful and compelling collection that elevates sentiments to a higher plateau.” – Goldmine Magazine

Music
Maisy Owen, a Nashville native, has been surrounded by music and the art of songcraft just about all her life. First came the viola at the age of 9, then guitar where she embraced fingerpicking under the guidance of the late David Olney. Her father Gwil Owen is an Academy Award-nominated songwriter.
“Drawing on the moody intimacy of Nick Drake, the folk finesse of Bert Jansch and the hazy dream-pop glow of Mazzy Star, she’s carving out a sound all her own” – KCRW Santa Monica, CA
Maisy’s unique sound, musical truth and stirring vocals inhabit Dark On A Sunny Day, her debut album, produced by Robin Eaton. It will be released in the Spring of 2026 on Tompkins Square Records.
Drawn to melancholic melodies and dark poetic imagery, her first single “My Youth Is All For You” was released as a 7” and gave Maisy a chance to explore her visual side/love for abandoned houses with an accompanying video. Her second single, “On My Way Down” was recently featured as KCRW’s “Today’s Top Tune.” Simply put, Maisy is a singular talent and one worth watching.
