Duke Arts at American Tobacco: Denitia

Texas-born and Nashville-based artist Denitia has spent years remapping country music. Her sound drifts between Nashville roots and Brooklyn edge—acoustic guitar and pedal steel woven with shimmer, soul, and restraint.

Stereogum praised her 2022 album Highways as “deeply tuneful, light on its feet, and shot through with melancholy.” Her latest release, Sunset Drive, deepens that vision—part Glen Campbell nostalgia, part dreamlike Americana.

An NPR 2023 Artist to Watch, Denitia has toured with the Black Opry Revue and shared stages with Joy Oladokun, Allison Russell, and Amythyst Kiah. Denitia’s voice will stop you in your tracks.
