Skylar Gudasz (@skylargudasz) has a classic voice. From the moment you hear it, you know you’re in musical good hands – it won’t falter, and it will be strong enough to carry what it promises to completion. It is a strong, distinctive voice – adjectives are imprecise things, but if pushed for some for Gudasz’s, we might wager clarion, hypnotic, smoky, smoldering. Gudasz works in country-tinged rock, but the sterling quality of her songwriting and playing make her work compelling even for genre purists and niche dwellers. This is solid, well-crafted music made to stand the test of time in a flighty, throwaway culture. Listen to Gudasz’s new single “Lean Closer to Me Now” and 2024’s LP COUNTRY – you’ll see. New on the North Carolina Music Office blog are Gudasz's thoughtful answers to the Come Hear NC Questionnaire: read them via the link in bio. She was also thoughtful enough to put together a 30-track plus playlist of North Carolina music for us/you -- give it a listen while you read (it's linked in the blog)!
