This artist is playing a lot of the country/Americana parties including Colton House, Sagebrush, and the Dainty Dillo. I'll post more about those when they announce their schedules but here is her schedule.
This site says of her:
Reilly Downes has long been known as the Sad Cowgirl of Chicago. An Americana artist hailing from the Texas Hill Country, she cut her teeth as a session musician in Nashville, singing behind some of Americana’s favorite singer/songwriters.
In this interview she says:
Q: Chicago has its own Americana sound (i.e., Wilco), and so do Austin and Nashville. How do these various Americana “moods” differ, and how do you bring these influences together in your own music?
A: Like I said, I’m a lot more indie in the Americana genre, think early Noah Gundersen or David Ramirez (an Austinite himself!). They were huge influences for me, but as I’ve grown as an artist and come to respect old country more, you’ll see a lot of that influence in my newer work.
Here is a live set. The third song "Another Sad Waltz" is good.
Her cover of "Wicked Game" is pretty faithful to the original.
This is one of her few music videos. It's good.
