Willow Avalon - Pink Pocket Pistol Tour at Terminal West
CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC'S PICK:
Tues., Sept. 8
Willow Avalon, Tiffany Stringer, Macy Todd, Terminal West - Willow Avalon, the Georgia-born daughter of outsider folk singer Jim White has only released two albums, but she has already worked with Americana heavy hitters like Jason Isbell, Kaitlin Butts, and Charles Wesley Godwin. Her chirpy, trilling voice and frisky, good natured, country-inflected approach is immediately charming. Although it's hard to get around the Dolly Parton similarities, she doesn't shy away from them either, recording a spirited tribute to the icon titled "Hey There, Dolly." She'll be featuring material from her recent second album, Pink Pocket Pistol. It's delightful in all the best ways. Opener Stringer's wildly eclectic approach encompasses country and indie rock, an odd combination that doesn't always click. - Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
Originally from Georgia and now based in Nashville, Willow Avalon’s musical journey began
with her first word, “Elvis.” Raised by her mother and grandmother in a small Southern town,
she grew up playing piano in church and taught herself guitar at age 12, using songwriting
as both an escape and a means of self-expression through a life-journey that has been
anything but straight-forward. Her much-praised 2025 debut album, Southern Belle Raisin’
Hell, cemented her as one of country music’s most compelling new voices, blending classic
country, Americana, and pop influences. She has performed at The Late Show with
Stephen Colbert, CBS Mornings, and the Grand Ole Opry, as well as festivals like
Stagecoach, C2C, CMA, and Lollapalooza, bringing her electrifying presence to global
audiences. With a sharp wit and rebellious spirit, she has shared stages with legends and
rising stars alike, including Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Zach Bryan, Cage the Elephant, Paul
Cauthen, Charles Wesley Godwin, and more. Solidified by sold-out headline tours in North
America, Europe, and Australia, as well as hundreds of millions of views across social
content, Willow Avalon is redefining what it means to be a modern Southern storyteller.
