S.G. Goodman returns from the Western Kentucky bottomland with her third studio album, ‘Planting by the Signs,’ out everywhere on 6/20/25. Her first album in three years, it is a reminder of the Kentucky born and raised singer-songwriter’s razor-sharp lyricism, singular voice and seamless blend of indie rock and subtle rural influences. ‘Planting by the Signs’ finds Goodman exploring themes in the only way she knows; with a fresh musical and lyrical perspective, vivid, incisive detail, and a heaping dose of empathy and compassion. Lead single “Fire Sign” is out now.
S.G. Goodman catapulted onto the scene in 2020 with her debut album Old Time Feeling – possibly the worst time to emerge, and yet, her talent was undeniable. She immediately garnered attention from NPR, Rolling Stone, and more, and took her show on the road across the world, gaining fans and followers, even landing a fan in Tyler Childers, who covered her song “Space and Time.”
In 2022, she released Teeth Marks, a critical darling that leveled her up, gaining praise from the New York Times, landing her an NPR Tiny Desk, landing on Pitchfork and NPR’s Best Of lists, and earning her the Best Emerging Artist Award at the 2023 Americana Awards. After nearly three years of promotion on the road, Goodman decamped to the Nutt House in Sheffield, AL, in the fall of 2024 to create ‘Planting by the Signs,’ her best record to date.
