The Smell of Rain

Music can sometimes fixate on either pain or easy answers but The Smell of Rain by Katy Wehr explores the space between those two extremes, giving voice to genuine struggle and exploring the rocky path toward resolution. With strong, clear vocals and an Americana sound that leans now toward folk, now toward alt-country, Katy Wehr uses sparse lyrics and natural imagery to tell stories about loneliness, fear, forgiveness and the stirrings of hope. Songs from The Smell of Rain have recently been featured on BBC Northern Ireland's Rhythm and Soul, The Hugh Hewitt Show, Wisconsin Public Radio's Simply Folk, Northwest Public Radio's Inland Folk, North Carolina Public Radio's Back Porch Music and Minnesota Public Radio- The Current's Morning Show. All Songs are also available individually through ITunes, Rhapsody, MSN Music, BuyMusic, MusicNet, Napster, MP3tunes and Yahoo Music Match.
