BIO:
Sophie Gault has always been a little unhinged. A Nashville-based Americana rocker with a midnight voice and an eye and ear for last call rock and roll, she writes songs that swagger, stumble, wink, and bleed. With her third full-length album, Unhinged, Gault triples down on the risk-taking drive that has revved her from dive bars to the big tents, crafting a record that feels at once deeply personal and side-eye defiant.
Unhinged is a dare. A fast, reckless, one-eye-open ride through cow-punk Buck Owens, punked-up Robert Johnson, outlaw cruise mischief, shipwreck coins, blackjack tables, and backroom heartbreak. It’s the sound of someone doubling down on 17 when everyone screams “No!”—and winning. It’s the smell of whiskey and Monte Cristos at 2 AM; the taste of cheap red wine mixed with heat lightning, then you cross a forbidden line while laughing to the stars.
Born with a restless streak that fuels musical infernos, Gault quickly found her place among the city’s creative underground. Over the years, her biting songwriting and electric live presence have made her a name to circle on the Americana scene, praised for both her razor-edged honesty and her sly sense of humor. The songs on Unhinged twist between the sly revenge of “Merlot Dodge Dart,” the fingerpicked confession of “Chestnut St,” the cocky sway of the title track, and the tender, water-lit ache of “Is There Anyone Out There,” sung with Gurf Morlix himself.
Tradition gets honored, flipped, and satisfyingly kicked over—from classic Nashville to Robert Johnson to the ballad from Gurf that no one else would think to touch. Across ten tracks, Gault raises a glass to the chaos of life, leans into the messiness of desire and reinvention, and proves that the most outlaw thing you can do is trust your gut and live with the outcome.
Dirty guitars snarl like a late-night confession, and grooves pull you headlong into the storm. Her voice can smolder one moment and cut like a Katana the next—raw yet deliberate, wild yet anchored in a truth that refuses to apologize.
With Unhinged, Sophie Gault has solidified her place as one of Nashville’s most compelling voices, an artist who isn’t afraid to take chances and tell the truth—even when it stings, even when it doesn’t wrap up neatly. It’s the sound of a songwriter who has stopped caring about fitting into boxes, and scoffs at boxes altogether. Above all: life is too short to play it safe. Raise a glass, place your bet, and get a little Unhinged.
