S.G. Goodman is an American singer-songwriter.

Early life

Goodman is from Hickman, Kentucky.[2] [3] The Southern Baptist church played a central role in her childhood in Kentucky.[4] Goodman began performing by singing in church.[5] Her father was a farmer.[6] She has played rhythm guitar since she was 15.[7]

Goodman moved to Murray, Kentucky in 2007 to attend Murray State University,[8] where she studied philosophy.[9]

Career

Prior to her solo career, Goodman fronted the band The Savage Radley, releasing one album, Kudzu, in 2017.

Her debut solo album, Old Time Feeling, was co-produced by Jim James of My Morning Jacket. The album has been described as Americana, folk, country, and rock.[10] She is signed to Verve Forecast Records. Tyler Childers covered "Space and Time" from Old Time Feeling on his album Rustin' in the Rain.[11] "Space and Time" was also covered by Devonté Hynes and Mereba for the soundtrack to the 2022 film, Master Gardener.[12]

In 2021, as a solo artist, she was among other things part of the Newport Folk Festival in July.[13]

In June 2022, Goodman released her second album, Teeth Marks, on Verve Forecast.[14] She usually plays with her guitar tuned down a whole step, though some songs on the record were played in this tuning with a capo. The fifth track on the album, "If You Were Someone I Loved" deals with the opioid crisis.[15] Because her debut album was released during the COVID-19 pandemic, Goodman did not headline a tour for the album. As such, her tour for Teeth Marks was her first solo tour.[16]

Personal life

Goodman is gay.[17] She lives in Murray, Kentucky.[18]
