Artist of the Week:  Zoe Muth and The Lost High Rollers


Zoe Muth was raised a rock n' roller, but she's a country and folk singer-songwriter at heart.

Muth was raised in the 1980s in Seattle, Washington, listening to classic rock n' roll artists like the Beatles, Buddy Holly, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen.  

During high school she became infatuated with the field recordings of Alan Lomax and Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music.  

After being introduced to folk and traditional country music she latched on to it and furthered explored artists like Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly and the Carter Family. 

Muth's infatuation grew and grew, until she began to weave elements of traditional country and blues into her own music and lyrics.

Seriously, giver her music a listen and you'll realize that she's a true troubadour!
