NYC cowgirl Michaela Anne brings her country tunes to Rockwood on 02.19

We all know that most New Yorkers don’t really like cowboys that much (a little too rough around the edges, and mostly global warming deniers), but put a young girl with a guitar under that hat and suddenly you’ve got a total charmer – not sure if that’s enough to say that sexism has some "better" sides to it, cowboys might not like that. But age and wide-brimmed hat are not the only strenghts Nashville via Brooklyn songstress Michaela Anne has to offer. Her country songs ring genuine, like this video for single "Ease of Mind;" her unaffected voice and simple guitar chords forge sincere songs about love and the uncertain future facing a young cowgirl, in a cow-less city. Which begs the question: would NYC be a better place if it had cows? 

Michaela Anne will bring a ray of Nashville sun on February 19 at Rockwood Music Hall.
