Angel Snow
When Angel Snow sings, she hands her heart to the listener, pouring out
raw emotion through honest and introspective music. Her unique
sound—classic Americana folk with a modern edge—provides a soulful
backdrop for lyrics based on everything from personal experiences to
vivid dreams. The result of this passionate songwriting is her debut
album, Fortune Tellers.
Angel settled in Nashville after spending five years traveling and
performing, bringing her fervent sound to venues in New York, Atlanta,
California, Wyoming, Montana, Pennsylvania, and Chattanooga.
Musical talent came naturally and easily to Angel growing up in
tiny Chickamauga, Georgia. It was a third grade homework assignment to
write several poems that gave her a first glimpse at her life's path.
Songwriting soon grew to be her most passionate artistic outlet. She
recalls, "It was the only way I could truly find out who I was. It's
great when you finally have an idea of what life is about"... At age 15
she began playing guitar and putting music with the lyrics she had been
working on for years. It was in high school that Angel began playing in
talent competitions and anywhere else she was given the opportunity.
Angel, the youngest of three siblings, was named by her older
brothers, who were five and three when she was born. Growing up, her
brothers influenced her love for all kinds of music with their own
varied tastes. While one brother liked old folk and classical music,
the other brother brought home CDs by Faith No More and The Cure. Angel
was influenced by all these styles and continues to embrace all genres,
listing Leonard Cohen, Robert Smith, Thom Yorke, Otis Redding and
Elliott Smith as her own favorite musicians.
