"Innocence and clarity so fresh as to be dangerous." - Maverick

"Angela Easterling has a golden glowing voice and she writes observant songs about contemporary life. She can weave urban sprawl and cultural shifts into songs as gingerly as love and relationships." - Craig Havighurst, Music City Roots

Angela Easterling is a farm-raised, South Carolina-bred, All-American girl; her country roots run deep, and her music carries the flavor of her distinctly American culture and upbringing. So why would she do an album (Mon Secret, 2011) of original songs in French? Angela's answer, "Why not", she laughs. Why not, indeed, when the result speaks for itself: a combination of sweet southern Americana music and the lovely, romantic language spoken along The Seine, coming together to create something truly unique and unexpected. In 2012, Angela was named a Wildflower Performing Songwriter Finalist. In 2009 & 2010 she was a Kerrville New Folk Finalist, and in 2011, a Telluride Troubadour Finalist. The Boston Herald named her song "The Picture" "Best Political Country Song" in their 2009 Year's best music. Her music has been featured in commercials and Animal Planet, and the Smithsonian Institution's exhibit New Harmonies: Celebrating American Root's Music.
