Post 1:Desiree is a Northern California based country-folk musician with roots in the Bay Area and the ranch lands of San Benito County. Her songs have grown out of a childhood spent listening to old country cassettes and reading western novels on a cattle ranch, and matured into the heartbreaking ballads of soulful anthems that are relevant in present day Oakland.She pays tribute to the spirit of both the Country & Folk traditions, crafting music that is as vulnerable as it is strong-willed and fierce - she sings with the raw truth of the country greats, and the emotional depth of the often forgotten folk heroes. Her songwriting is intimate and nostalgic, and her music reminiscent of all those that have existed for the sake of the song.Desiree released an album back in 2018 called“Beach Sleeper” LOVE IT! You can find it on Spotify and all other streaming sites. She also has a YouTube Channel at Desiree Cannon music where you can check out for some great videos!Western AF @westernasfuck shot one for her song “Latigo” Great video!
