Based in Nevada City, California, Angelica Rockne fuses '70s-inspired country-rock with elements of psych, folk, and indie rock. Once a staple of the Bay Area underground scene, the singer/songwriter spent time as a member of dark shoegaze outfit Evil Eyes before striking out on her own with the earthen folk of 2014's What Will I Dream, her debut EP. A move inland to mountainous Nevada City prompted a change in approach, as Rockne began to adopt a more vintage tone recalling the country-psych of late-period Byrds with a bit of honky tonk attitude. Working with a new backing band that included ace guitarist Blake Severn, she recorded the full-length Queen of San Antonio, which was released in 2017. ~ Timothy Monger
