Annie DiRusso / Caroline Culver

Annie DiRusso is an indie rock artist based in Nashville and New York City who wears the influence of her two cities on her sleeve, blending buzzing garage guitars and high-energy performances with a pop-infused Nashville flair. The magic she creates in her hooks and melodies is apparent in her seven singles, quickly turning casual listeners into fans.

Followers who waited patiently to see DiRusso's raucous live show over the pandemic finally had a chance to do so on her fall 2021 tour supporting Sara Kays and on her 16-date tour supporting Samia. Next up, she’s releasing a new song, which fortifies her vein of vulnerability and honest emotion paired with gritty riffs.

Caroline Culver is creating a new sound that gives a nostalgic feel. From her earliest years, Culver was destined to be a songwriter. The youngest of three daughters, she was the carpool kid on the way to her sister’s soccer games singing along in the backseat to the National and Bon Iver. Soon she was leaving song sheets scattered around the house in hopes her family would find them.

The writing continued well past childhood and led to stream-of-consciousness songwriting, resulting in songs that revel in brutal honesty, always laced with a soft vulnerable edge. Her voice cuts above even strong percussion, haunts the listener, and brings with it a certain air of Stevie Nicks.

From Atlanta and based in Nashville, Culver has found her sound standing in the sand bar between indie rock and Americana. She credits musical inspiration and influence to artists including Zella Day, Samia, Ruston Kelly, and Donavan Woods.
