Virginia Drake delivers sweet and sassy Americana Roots originals, high-steppin’ bluegrassy jigs, “blues on folk” or soulful country rock and then throws some ole jazz standards in the mix.

Her songs are rooted in storytelling, blending folk and Americana with echoes of her earlier jazz and theatrical influences and the bluegrass and traditional music she has discovered in WNC. She released her debut single in April 2026 and is currently recording an album with producer Chris Rosser of Hollow Reed Studios.

"One could call Virginia's music Americana, but that doesn't quite cover it. Her “stories in song” span across genres from gospel reverence to nature, Celtic ballads to the divinity of our sleep, hoedown tunes to scorned lovers, original tunes about a barfly with the gift of gab, classic jazz standards or just plain ole’ tender country love songs. With powerful vocals and accompaniment on mandolin and guitar, Virginia keeps you leaning in for the next one!"

Virginia is also the founder of True Voice; vocal coaching from the roots up. www.truevoicelessons.com

A transplant from Austin/Wimberley, TX, Virginia considers WNC her true home, as it’s the only place to which she has felt true “roots.”
