This artist is playing Luck as part of Aaron Lee Tasjan's showcase. According to this interview:
Q: What are you best known for?
A: Probably "I'm a Survivor (Lafemmebear Remix)" which I produced last summer as part of Reba McEntire's new REVIVED, REMIXED, REVISITED collection. Because of that remix, I'm now the first ever Black trans woman to produce a record on a Billboard Top Ten-charting album.

Q:What are you working on that no one knows about yet?
A:Mya Byrne (she played lap steel and mandolin on the "I'm a Survivor" remix) and I are releasing some new music this year that's going to test the bounds of the country and folk genres - more accurately, it'll test the allyship of the white country audience.
