Ahead of the release of her long-awaited album If You Never Go Away, BettySoo offers a rare glimpse into the heart behind the music.

BettySoo, the Austin, TX–based folk singer, is set to make her long-awaited return with "If You Never Go Away" out July 18th. Over the years, she has earned acclaim as a songwriter, winning honors like Songwriter of the Year at Big Top Chautauqua, the Dave Carter Songwriting Award at the Sisters Folk Festival, and even landing her music on the hit show Riverdale. After roughly a decade away, she’s back with an album that invites us to reminisce about the past and reflect on our own path forward.

If opening day was any indication, this summer is going to be one for the books. And if you’re wondering whether it’s worth it to show up—to stand in the sun, wait in lines, and lose your voice screaming along to songs—you already know the answer. We’ll be showing up again and again. Because festivals like this remind us: the music never really stops.
