Meet Desiree Cannon, a country folk songwriter with roots in Oakland, CA, who brings a modern twist to classic sounds. Her music is a heartfelt mix of love, truth, and imagination, all delivered with a voice that’s both strong and vulnerable. Whether she’s playing solo or with a few friends, Desiree’s performances are always something special.
Her debut album, Beach Sleeper, came out in 2018 and quickly caught the attention of folks who appreciate raw, honest music. She’s got a knack for turning life’s ups and downs into songs that feel both personal and universal. And if you’re into the greats like Townes Van Zandt and Lucinda Williams, you’ll find something to love in Desiree’s music.
Desiree’s new album, Radio Heat, dropped in February 2024, and it’s shaping up to be just as special as her first. Co-produced with Sam Doores, it’s an album that explores everything from cosmic omens to the simple beauty of human connection. Each song is a little doorway into her world, and you’ll want to step through every one of them.
Catch Desiree Cannon at Festicrawl on Saturday, August 24, and get ready to be swept away by her haunting ballads, soulful anthems, and everything in between. It’s the kind of music that sticks with you long after the last note fades.
