Biography
WINNER OF THE 2011 MOUNTAIN STAGE NEWSONG CONTEST!!!!
A native of rural Tennessee, singer-songwriter Arthur Alligood has spent the past decade driving dusty roads on tour, and since March, his new LP I Have Not Seen the Wind has earned praise from No Depression and Common Folk and even the English tastemakers at the BBC. Its blend of folk, gospel and raw Southern poetry is the perfect framework for Alligood’s honest storytelling and wry
commentary on the human condition.
