ALL MUSIC STARTS LOCAL

03/01/2026

Our friend Dusky Waters is in the final days of her campaign!

She’s brought her band to the ALL MUSIC STARTS LOCAL showcase multiple times now and every time it is simply enchanting.

Based in New Orleans, her music carries voices of her ancestors for generations before her in a way that I am not sure I’ve experienced before—It is at once, soul-stirring, haunting and most of all, uplifting.

I am so excited to support the making of this record and if you are able, I invite you to contribute as well. Every dollar helps, no matter how much or little, but if you are not in a position to support, please at the very least go give Dusky Waters a follow and check out their music.

I’ll throw the link to her campaign in my stories but it can also be found on her IG bio 💫
