In the sea of musicians in Nashville, it’s hard to stand out. It’s even more of a challenge to carve your own path in a folk and Americana scene that seems to grow by the minute. Yet chrysalis has done just that. As their name suggests, their artistry is ever-growing and ever-changing. Grounded in folk sensibilities, their sound blends indie production with traditional instrumentation. They describe themselves “as a patchwork amalgamation of genres and sounds,” drawing inspiration from Joni Mitchell to Indigo De Souza.

Watch chrysalis perform “do you?,” “too early” and “how much longer?” live at WNXP’s Sonic Cathedral.

Hear chrysalis discuss how their lived experiences as a queer person has impacted their artistry on the record with WNXP.
