January 4 '08 - Happy New Year! I had a fantastic time during my December tour despite the snowstorms and ice storms and nor'easters and what not the weatherman dished up. Thanks so much to all the wonderful venues and audiences who kept my heart warm even while the rest of me was freezing :) I've just been doing a bunch of picture updates, so check out my photo gallery for lots of new live pix and pix with new friends (like Suzy Bogguss). I really appreciate those of you who've been nice enough to send me your pictures from my shows - it is a big help! Cheers!
November 16 '07 - I did an interview with Larry T. from "Down Home Cookin" on KIX Country 92.9 while in Nashville for the AMA's. Wanna listen? go here ! (My interview is the 2nd one, right after my song Truck-Drivin' Man plays).
September 16 '07 - An exciting summer is coming to an end. I spent the first half on the road in the northeast (25 shows in 40 days!) and finished out with a round of concerts that proved to be wonderful opportunities for me. Opening for Ray Price at the Birchmere was an experience I'll never forget. The Oak Ridge Boys show was fun too, but mainly memorable for that smoking Georgia heat! I enjoyed being interviewed on WRNR in Annapolis and was treated to another great appearance at the Baltimore Chop, thanks to all my good friends in Maryland. Capping it all off was the Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion this past weekend. It was such an honor for me to be a part of it and I especially enjoyed meeting and watching all the other fantastic artists. Can't wait for next year!
I'll be in the Southeast for a couple of months, heading out to Nashville in Oct. for the Americana Conference and then going back up to the Northeast in December. i'm looking forward to playing my favorite spots and finding some new ones! Thanks so much to all the nice people who have come out to my shows, laughed and listened and made me feel so welcome! Thanks also to the many venues, radio DJ's, indie record stores and music journalists who have supported my music and given me a hand. I couldn't do it without you!
If you would like me to come to your town and play your local concert hall, coffeehouse, church, bar, fair, festival, house concert or any and all between, please get in touch with me at

July 12 '07 - I just got back from my six week, northeast tour and have but a minute to reast before I head out for another round of shows. I want to thank all the nice people who came out to the shows and bought CD's and also all the great venues who hosted me and made me feel so welcome. I can't wait to come back! Check out the photo gallery for new tour pix I just posted.
I'm getting lots of type! Check out the "Press" section to read.
"Earning Her Wings" on new Alt-Country Sampler!
Great news from the U.K.:
My song, "Earning Her Wings" will be on a music sampler in the May issue of Maverick magazine! (a British alt-country No Depression-esque tome) Other artists on the CD include: Wayne Hancock , Elizabeth Cook, Sunny Sweeney, George Jones & Merle Haggard! Kevin Montgomery, Idgy Vaughn, Gina Villalobos, Will Kimbrough
& more!
In addition, anyone who orders from Smart Choice www.smartchoicemusic.com will receive a sampler CD for free! I'm really excited to be included with all these great artists.
Smart Choice Music made my record their Americana pick of the year! I am so proud and honored. Here's what they said:
"As we are firmly nailing our colours to the mast at Smart Choice Music by championing new music, and the new generation of artists, it seems fitting that Angela Easterling's Earning Her Wings is our pick of the year. Having spent her formative years working in the West Coast country scene, Angela rediscovered her Carolina roots for this old-school country album. Delightful tongue-in-cheek pastiches of songs about truckers and cowboys, a hint of gospel and authentic acoustic instruments and production has the spirit of the Carter Family and Kitty Wells flowing throughout. However, Angela manages to put a youthful, new slant onto a well trodden path and has produced a vibrant debut album."
I'm going out on the road! I'll be opening for Hank Sinatra at the Cave in Chapel Hil,l NC on December 16.Check my calendar for this and other live appearances!
I will be a part
of this one-time only gospel show Sunday, August 20!
Don't miss it!
