The Foxgloves – studio session at The Current for Radio Heartland (music + interview)

Опубликовано 18 мая 2023, 11:45

Steph Snow had an idea. “I really wanted to form a band that was all women,” she recalls. “I think there's a really good place for it here.”

After some social media posts and an informal meeting at the Como Tap in Minneapolis, the Foxgloves were formed. Ready though they were by March 2020, the band’s plans were put on hold for a couple of years. But then things really took off when the Foxgloves performed at the Blue Ox Festival in 2022. Just three years in, the six-piece Foxgloves have released an EP and a full-length album, and there’s plenty more where that came from.

The Foxgloves recently visited The Current studio to record a session with Radio Heartland’s Mike Pengra. Watch and listen to the full session above.
