Huey & Kat Deal

Born and raised in Atlanta, Ga., Hueys songwriting is deeply in southern folk music. Since playing in various groups for the past 8 years, most notably her own full band Huey , shes always called the ATL music scene home. [She] brings some diversity to what people perceive southern music to be says Atwood Magazine, following up the release of their second full-length LP How to Keep Things Alive. Heart-clenching and poignant lyrics, married with folk, sometimes even jazz, melodies, Hueys songwriting reflects the emotions that shes embedded in her music. Since becoming a solo artist, shes developed a side of the folk genre that sounds like nobody else.This past year, Hueys songwriting has gained the attention of multiple arts institutions, which have offered her scholarships to visit, write and record across the country. Shes since participated in the Slough Farm residency program in Marthas Vineyard, MA., where she produced and self-recorded the songs Passerby and Chimes. She recently returned from the Chalk Hill Artist residency this past February, where she continued writing and recording her record, as well as sharing her songs with the community of Napa Valley. Currently, Huey has been working on a highly anticipated solo EP, which leans more towards Psych-Folk and is set to release in early 2027. Today, she marks her greatest inspirations in writing to be acts like Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, S.G. Goodman, and (if were talkin Southern folk-rock), the Indigo Girls.Kat Deal is a singer-songwriter based in Mobile, Alabama.
