WT NEWTON
As 2014 saw the disbandment of Southern Illinois' rowdiest bunch of pickers, County Graves, it also ushered in a new era for guitarist and vocalist WT Newton. Holing himself up in his cabin within the Shawnee National Forest, he wrote a whole new story that glided between sad folk songs and sparse compositions that ruminated on heartbreak and loss. It's a new chapter for WT Newton, and there are many more peaks and valleys to be explored.
