S.G. Goodman is an American singer-songwriter.
Goodman is from Hickman, Kentucky. [2] [3] The Southern Baptist church played a central role in her childhood in Kentucky. [4] Goodman began performing by singing in church. [5] Her father was a farmer. [6] She has played rhythm guitar since she was 15. [7]
Goodman moved to Murray, Kentucky in 2007 [1] to attend Murray State University, [8] where she studied philosophy. [9]
Prior to her solo career, Goodman fronted the band The Savage Radley, releasing one album, Kudzu, in 2017. [8]
Her debut solo album, Old Time Feeling, was co-produced by Jim James of My Morning Jacket. [6] The album has been described as Americana, folk, country, and rock. [10] She is signed to Verve Forecast Records. Tyler Childers covered "Space and Time" from Old Time Feeling on his album Rustin' in the Rain. [11] "Space and Time" was also covered by Devonté Hynes and Mereba for the soundtrack to the 2022 film, Master Gardener. [12]
In 2021, as a solo artist, she was among other things part of the Newport Folk Festival in July. [13]
In June 2022, Goodman released her second album, Teeth Marks, on Verve Forecast. [14] She usually plays with her guitar tuned down a whole step, though some songs on the record were played in this tuning with a capo. [7] The fifth track on the album, "If You Were Someone I Loved" deals with the opioid crisis. [15] Because her debut album was released during the COVID-19 pandemic, Goodman did not headline a tour for the album. As such, her tour for Teeth Marks was her first solo tour. [16]
Goodman is gay. [4] [17] She lives in Murray, Kentucky. [18]
