Josie Edwards w/ Hudson Ingram

***

Josie Edwards is a rising folk-pop singer-songwriter based in Nashville, TN, whose sharp storytelling and unmistakable voice have earned her more than 100 million streams and a fast-growing audience online.

Raised in northern Indiana, she formed her first band in high school before moving to Nashville to study at Belmont University, where she earned a degree in songwriting. Her breakout single “good girls” introduced millions of listeners to the personal, slightly offbeat world behind her music.

She carried that momentum through “The Poet and Her Vice (Happy Ending),” “Dog Prophecies,” and “Gravedigger,” into her 2026 EP Greetings From Bleak St. Its standout track, “Chemical Light,” has sparked another wave of attention online and pushed her audience higher still.

Drawing on artists like Tom Odell, Twenty One Pilots, Noah Kahan, The Lumineers, and Bob Dylan, Josie pairs dark humor with folk-pop melodies that stick. It’s an identity entirely her own — and one of the most distinct arriving in the genre right now.

Hudson Ingram yearns for what’s real. In a time of algorithms and isolation, the Nashville singer- songwriter, 20, pulls you in with textural strums, laid-back chords, searching lyrics, and satin-smooth vocals — a blend of indie-pop and Americana that warms the skin like a bear hug. That vision coalesces across The Long Way Home, a trilogy of EPs Hudson’s honed with Aaron Dessner in a joint venture between the acclaimed producer and Interscope Records. The new music isn’t just a balm against falsity— it’s also a coming-of-age project that traces Hudson’s return to what he considers to be his truest self after a period of upheaval left him creatively and personally adrift. But he’s nothing if not a natural storyteller, born and raised in Austin, TX, immersed in song at home, in honky-tonks, and at the occasional arena. He went from studying classical piano to singing in middle school theatre to playing guitar at church, while developing a melting pot of tastes now reflected in his work— spanning classic pop, rock, and folk (Taylor, Petty, Dylan) to the contemporary confessional era (Swift, Mayer, Bon Iver).

At just 17, he left home for Nashville and began taking college courses, suddenly dropped halfway through the maze that connects adolescence to adulthood. Now, he’s writing and recording his way out guided by both youthful vulnerability and old-soul wisdom. The search for authenticity can be anguishing, but, as Hudson demonstrates, the scenic route is the most rewarding.
