Born, raised, and based in Atlanta, Ga., Huey’s songwriting is rooted in southern folk music. Since playing in various groups for the past 8 years, most notably her own country band "Huey & The Heaven-sent", she’s always called the ATL music scene home. Heart-clenching lyrics, weaving with folk, sometimes even jazz, melodies, Huey’s songwriting has an honest vulnerability that any audience can enjoy. Since becoming a solo artist, she’s developed a side of the folk genre that sounds completely fresh.
This year (2026) she was selected as a semi-finalist for the Wide Open Country song competition, and has opened for acts like Kassi Valazza and Dylan Earl. Huey’s songwriting has gained the attention of multiple arts institutions, which have offered her scholarships to visit, write and record across the country. She’s since participated in the Slough Farm residency program in Martha’s Vineyard, MA., where she produced and self-recorded the songs for her debut solo record. She recently returned from the Chalk Hill Artist residency this past February, where she continued writing and recording her record, as well as sharing her songs with the community of Napa Valley. Next year she will become an artist in residence at the Takt Institute in Germany, where she will be writing music and touring Europe.
Fans can anticipate a full band EP this fall called Costume Jewels, which was recorded live at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, MS in 2025. It will be released on Nov 2nd with a show in Atlanta, GA at Gene’s. Huey has also been working on a debut solo LP, which leans more towards Psych-Folk and is set to release in early 2027. Today, she marks her greatest inspirations in writing to be acts like Joni Mitchell, Nick Drake, S.G. Goodman, and (if we’re talkin’ Southern folk-rock), the Indigo Girls.
