Melissa Carper
Carper embodies that music and culture wholly — an Austin-by-way-of-Arkansas artist known for her evocative vocals, sharp lyrics, and prowess on the double bass. Nicknamed “Hill-Billie Holiday” by friend and frequent collaborator Chris Scruggs, Carper has cemented her reputation as one of today’s most compelling and authentic voices in roots music thanks to acclaimed albums like 2024’s Borned In Ya, via Thirty-Tigers Records.
