Angel recently performed on Music City Roots LIVE from the Loveless Cafe, broadcast on Lightning 100.  Go read this article on the MCR blog:

Many may share my initial reaction to hearing the name Angel Snow, which went something like: ‘no way.’ But it is her real name, and I’ve evolved from reflexively  associating it with something off of Toddlers & Tiaras to thinking that it might be one of her most valuable assets. Because once you hear her music, you’re going to take this woman seriously, and the evocation of an ethereal, wintry mood is entirely appropriate in her case.

The Asheville Citizen-Times recently ran this feature on Angel’s performance in Asheville, NC.

Angel Snow’s story is the stuff a singer’s dreams are made of — meet a big star, she records your songs and then invites you to open for her at major venues. It happened to Snow when she met Alison Krauss in Nashville, but the story is much deeper. Snow is a powerful wordsmith with a clear, beautiful voice; her positive personality and familiar themes touch listeners.

American Songwriter Magazine is now streaming ‘Lie Awake’ from Angel’s forthcoming album! A version of ‘Lie Awake,’ (written by Angel and Viktor Krauss) was also recorded by Alison Krauss and Union Station on their April release Paper Airplane.

American Songwriter Magazine reviewed Alison Krauss and Union Station’s recent show at The Ryman Auditorium, including Angel’s opening performance.  Read the entire review here.

Opening act Angel Snow also cast a spell over the crowd. They adopted her early, and not just because of her angelic good looks. Her songs, which were played to perfection by her all-acoustic band, have an air of magic to them — at times sounding like Gillian Welch mixed with Sarah Mclachlan; other times,  like an Appalachian Fiona Apple or Jeff Buckley. Krauss discovered Snow’s music via her CD demo, and ended up including her song “Lie Awake” on Paper Airplane. Watching Snow on this night, on the famed Ryman stage, it felt like a star was born.

AOL Music’s The Boot recently interviewed Alison Krauss about her new album Paper Airplane.  Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

AOL: Your brother, Viktor, wrote ‘Lie Awake’ for the album. That’s a gorgeous song.

ALISON: He wrote that with a beautiful songwriter named Angel Snow. I was driving from Indianapolis back to Nashville, and this song came on the radio. It was a pop song and I loved the way the melody of the verse and the chorus stayed where it was, it didn’t go someplace else. The thing that made the chorus the chorus was the harmony. I thought, “Oh, man, I wish we had something like that.” I called my brother and asked him if he knew that song. He said, “Oh, yeah, I know that song. I sing it to my wife.” I said, “Can you try and write something like that.” He said, “Yeah, I think I can.” Vik isn’t a lyricist, so he wrote a track for it, and Angel and he got together and she wrote the lyrics. They’re such beautiful, truthful lyrics.

The Tennessean’s review of Alison Krauss’ new album Paper Airplane includes praise for Lie Awake, a song co-written by Angel and Viktor Krauss!

But as she and her band, Union Station, worked to complete their first studio album since 2004, Krauss was finding nowhere musical to live. They began recording in September 2009, and by early 2010, they’d crept to a creative standstill. Krauss felt something along the lines of the chorus to “Lie Awake,” one of the handful of songs she and Union Station had completed:

“How do I lie awake now, when I know I’ve got to be moving on?” goes the song — penned by her brother Viktor Krauss and singer-songwriter Angel Snow — which appears on the finally completed, newly released Paper Airplane. “How do I lie awake now, when nothing’s right and nothing’s wrong?”
