Alyssa Hankey and The North Woods Album Release Show
Alyssa Hankey & The North Woods w/ special guests Coltt Winter Lepley & Halloway Celebrate the arrival of Alyssa Hankey’s anticipated upcoming full-length album, Good Country People, at Big Rail Brewing on July 17th. Good Country People feels less like a polished narrative and more like a series of lived-in scenes, smoky bars, long highways, motel rooms, pine-covered hillsides, and the quiet moments that sit between love and consequence. Across the record, Hankey writes about blue-collar survival, reckless romance, loyalty, and personal escape, creating characters that are flawed, human, and deeply recognizable. A traveling troubadour born and raised in the hills of rural western Pennsylvania. Alyssa’s music is unmistakable, with influences that span across many genres. She has released various albums and embarked on several cross-country tours. She also formed Alyssa Hankey & The North Woods, a band that combines folk, country and rock. You can find them playing in and around the Pittsburgh area. Hankey has also shared the stage with artists such as The Clarks, John R Miller, Tommy Prine, Warren Zeiders and Charles Wesley Godwin. You’ll find her music on Itunes, Spotify, Bandcamp, Google Play, Youtube, etc Alyssa Hankey, the smoke and moonshine voiced mountain girl, weaves her musical tales with authenticity and raw emotion. Hailing from the misty peaks of Appalachia, her voice resonates like the wind through ancient pines—weathered, haunting, and steeped in tradition. Taking nods from the legendary female folk and blues singer songwriters from years gone by, she blends fresh new waters with the muddy old.
