Interview

Sarah Rudy of Hello June has lived a lifetime of loss in the five years since the band’s previous album, <em>Spruce</em>. The band’s latest, <em>Artifact</em>, is the post-COVID album for those of us who spent lockdown doing more than bake bread. These songs are world-weary and resolved, clear-eyed in the face of difficulty. In our interview, Rudy explains her drive to create, how it’s linked to her identity, and the artists who got her here.

Country Universe

The longest-running country music blog, Country Universe was founded on and remains committed to the fact-based notion that country music has never been the exclusive purview of artists who are straight, white, Christian, Southern, and (mostly) men. When focusing on either the genre's history or its present, CU takes a "big tent" approach to the broader country universe and believes that a foundation of empathy makes country music an essential part of our shared popular culture.
