Garcia has received overwhelming buzz since the release of her debut album
Medicine for Birds, earning critical acclaim from The New York Times, NPR, Paste, American Songwriter, Rookie and more. American Songwriter describes
Medicine for Birds as, "...a stellar debut album," while The New York Times praises, "Ms. Garcia sings with muscle and verve, even though her voice remains wide-eyed and never approaches menace."
The 22-year old Richmond-based songstress was born in Los Angeles, but moved to Accomac, VA as a teen when her stepfather traded a career in the music industry for the Episcopalian priesthood. Garcia's family lived in a 200-year-old gothic brick home encircled by magnolia trees. Isolated and alone, Garcia locked herself in the parish house and fashioned a musical world that veers between ghostly gorgeous countrified blues and sly swamp Americana. With a childlike whimsy, quirky sense of humor, and dynamic delivery, it could easily soundtrack an apparitions' ball in some Faulknerian mansion.
Medicine for Birds was recorded by Charlie Peacock (The Civil Wars, Switchfoot) in Nashville. "It's like the songs grew up at that moment," Garcia says. "Charlie showed me how big and crazy they could be. I felt like a hermit coming out. He was the ambassador to this sonic realm I didn't know about it. The music became limitless."
