SXSW 2025: Riddy Armen

 Playing Luck at the Western AF showcase.  According to this article: 

Montana-based singer/songwriter Riddy Arman's traditional country and folk music comes from the unique perspective of a female farmhand.

According to this article:

Born and raised in Ohio, Riddy left home after high school and began a long, winding, and interesting journey that took her to North Carolina for a year of college, to New York City where she worked as a model, and on an extended hitchhiking and train-hopping journey around the United States, just to name a few. She began writing and playing music in earnest while living on a farm in rural Virginia and eventually moved to Montana, a place she had long felt drawn toward.

She is on LaHonda Records which includes Colter Wall and Vincent Neil Emerson.  Her album was released in 2021. Apparently she's working on her 2nd album but nothing has been released yet.

"Spirits, Angels, or Lies" is the first song off her album.  This is her Western AF performance including the origin of the song. It's really good.

"Barbed Wire" is good. 

This is her most streamed song.
