Caitlin Canty's songs harness the grit and spark at the heart of American music, tempered with a voice both haunting and distinct. Her new record, Night Owl Envies the Mourning Dove (October 2025) marks a return to her roots, a grittier and more electric Americana sound. Recorded live in the studio while nearly 8 months pregnant with her second child, the songs can be seen in the light of major shifts in Cantys life, from pre-parenthood city life in Nashville to present day raising a young family on a mountain in southern Vermont. She is currently touring Night Owl Envies the Mourning Dove with her four-piece band.

Since the release of her critically-acclaimed Reckless Skyline in 2015, Canty has put thousands of miles on her songs, touring throughout the U.S. and Europe. A constant collaborator, as a cowriter with Jamey Johnson and Peter Bradley Adams, she also appears on albums by Joy Williams, Jeffrey Foucault and Darlingside. She has performed at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, FreshGrass, Tonder and Green Mountain Bluegrass and Roots festivals and won the Telluride Troubadour songwriting competition at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 2015. Her song, Get Up, was nominated for Song of the Year in the Folk Alliance International Music Awards and was featured on NPR Musics, Songs We Love. Her songs have appeared in film and TV, including Rainmaker, House of Cards, Money Heist, and Rebuilding, and have garnered over 40 million streams on Spotify alone.
