A couple of months ago, Joe and I came home from tour to find that the ceiling in our house had collapsed! What began as a very stressful discovery turned out to be a happy accident, though – we ended up filming the video for our new song “Each Season” in our empty house. Oh, and we had friends and family who helped us put up brand new, vaulted ceilings! Every cloud has a silver lining.

Special thanks to directors Neilson Hubbard and Joshua Britt for their ability to turn lemons into lemonade. Check out the new video on Billboard and let us know what you think!

We’re thrilled to announce that Vice Noisey is premiering the title track to our new album “Champion” – which will be released October 13 via Blue Pig Music. “Now, with Champion, Struthers and her band sound ready to take over Americana completely, having built on Wake‘s cohesiveness and bringing a fuller, harder sound to the table,” says writer Annalise Domenighini. Check out the full article and stream “Champion” via Vice Noisey.

I’ve been an independent artist since 2009. Over the past few years, the internet and streaming have revolutionized the music industry. Everything is different. Different isn’t bad. Different is just different, and we ALL need to adapt.

It’s in this spirit that I’ve decided to release the band’s new album, Champion, in an entirely different way. My friends and fans have supported me through two amazingly successful Kickstarter campaigns which have helped launch me and my band further into the spotlight and helped our music reach more and more people (…which is the goal).

Since our Wake Kickstarter campaign in 2014, I’ve been struggling to find the right platform for ongoing support through which I can release new music. I don’t want to wear my fans out with a major fan-fundraising campaign asking you to PREORDER the NEW RECORD every time I make a new record. More to the point, I don’t want to need to launch a fan-fundraising campaign IN ORDER to release new music.

So now, you can join me on my Patreon page and get my new album in bi-monthly increments starting TODAY, for as little as $1 per song. This is the best thing I’ve ever made, and I can’t wait to share it with you.
