Clover County isn’t a real place — it’s a state of mind. And for songwriter A.G. Schiano, the project is a reminder that no matter where you’re planted, you have the choice to grow. On her debut EP Porch Lights, her voice is tender, twangy and emotionally sharp. Her self-described bootgaze sound is rooted in soft indie folk but open to experimentation, blending pedal steel, shimmering textures and lyrics that explore connection, identity and change. Clover County distills the feeling of trying to grow roots in transient soil beside a strong narrative voice and dreamy, deliberate songwriting, earning her a quickly growing audience and a place on our radar as one to watch.

Watch Clover County perform “Ultraviolet,” “Good These Days” and “Limbo” live at WNXP’s Sonic Cathedral.
