Katie Pruitt

2017 winner of the Buddy Holly Prize, awarded to Sylvan Esso in 2018 and Emily King in 2016. No album out yet, but Katie Pruitt's songwriting has already got everyone's attention. Rolling Stone says, "an early song of hers, 'Loving Her,' repurposed country cliches of forbidden love from heteronormative adultery into more fluid, modern territory."
