Caitlin Canty w/ Annie Lynch at The Iron Horse on Friday, March 6 2026

Caitlin Canty’s songs harness the grit and spark at the heart of American music, tempered with a voice both haunting and distinct. Since the release of her critically-acclaimed Reckless Skyline in 2015, Canty has put thousands of miles on her songs, touring throughout the U.S. and Europe. She is a constant collaborator, both as a cowriter with Jamey Johnson and Peter Bradley Adams among others, and appears on albums by Joy Williams and Darlingside. She has performed at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, FreshGrass, and Green Mountain Bluegrass and Roots Festival. She has opened for Mary Chapin Carpenter, Josh Ritter, The Milk Carton Kids, and Gregory Alan Isakov.

She won the Telluride Troubadour songwriting competition at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 2015. Her song, “Get Up,” was nominated for Song of the Year in the Folk Alliance International Music Awards and was featured on NPR Music’s, “Songs We Love.” Her songs have appeared in film and TV, including Code Black, House of Cards, Money Heist, and Rebuilding, and have garnered over 40 million streams on Spotify alone.

Annie Lynch has a voice that cuts clean and true—clear-edged and warm, with a quiet depth. Rooted in a blend of indie folk, Americana, and soulful pop, her songs feel lived-in and unforced, shaped by substance over spectacle. The emotional resonance of her writing is distinctive in tone and honest in delivery.

Best known at the helm of Annie and The Beekeepers, Annie has performed at festivals including SXSW, the Philadelphia Folk Festival, End of the Road (UK), and Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion; at venues such as NYC’s Town Hall and Bowery Ballroom, Nashville’s Belcourt Theater, The Chapel in San Francisco, and the Kennedy Center; and has shared bills with artists including The Lumineers, Josh Ritter, Madi Diaz, and Nathaniel Rateliff. Since Annie and The Beekeepers’ 2007 debut, the band has released two full-length albums and an EP, including 2012’s critically celebrated My Bonneville, named after Annie’s first car—a reflection on memory, movement, and the long road of creative work.

Annie’s songwriting has earned wide-ranging critical praise from The Boston Globe, The Washington Post, American Songwriter, Paste Magazine, Filter Magazine, and more. Performer Magazine describes her sound as “American roots music, sweetly intimate with vast boot-stomping songwriting,” while Paste Magazine writes, “Annie Lynch shows off her remarkable vocal prowess, featuring lyrics that dance gently over sweet guitar picking… symphonic, slow-burning tunes that strike a lovely balance between heavy emotion and light, sparse sound.”
