Katy Tessman’s third album, Turnbuckles, is a testament to resilience, connection, and the strength we find in others.
Listening to Turnbuckles is akin to reading a book or watching a play.” ~ Jefferson Thomas, Fifteen Minutes of Fame Much like the album’s namesake, the songs on Turnbuckles serve as dependable anchors—holding us together, strengthening our connections, and keeping us steady through life’s push and pull. Tessman’s heartfelt songwriting is brought to life by producers Nikki Lemire and Michael Koppelman. With expressive lead guitar work from her son, Louis Tessman Stanoch, the project blends Americana and Urban Folk, drawing comparisons to Sarah Jarosz’s songwriting, the Indigo Girls’ energy, and Derek Trucks’ soulful intensity. Backed by her band, also named The Turnbuckles, Katy delivers a rich, full sound that adds depth and vibrancy to her music.
[Turnbuckles is] a fine new album" ~Bill DeVille, United States of Americana, The Current, MPR |
