Coty Hogue’s got something different in her. Maybe it’s from growing up in a Montana town several orders of magnitude below “small;” maybe it comes from immersing herself in a folk music tradition that extends back for centuries. Whatever it is, you’d be hard-pressed to put your finger on it. But when Coty picks up her guitar or banjo and lets her voice out, there it is. You’d think she’s a pretty young gal, but her voice gives her away when she sings those fine old Appala¬chian songs. That voice, pitched low and steady, keeps raising chills. Then she’ll apologize for playing too many sad songs in a row and launch into a fast-picking barnburner. Her album, To the West, charted #1 on the FOLK-DJ charts for the song “Going To The West.” Another song on the album, “Oh Wind,” is featured on the independent film Neon Sky. In 2012, she released her second album, When We Get To Shore, which topped the Folk-DJ charts again. She has toured the country, been featured on BBC2 radio and Sirius XM satellite radio, and performed at nationally known festivals like the Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle, Washington.
