SOPHIE GAULT is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter originally from Prince George’s County, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C. She grew up on her artist parents’ record collection, listening to old blues, folk, and rock and roll from an early age. This music continues to shape both her sound and her approach to songwriting. Before committing fully to music, Gault spent more than a decade working in kitchens and taking on odd jobs while writing songs and performing. She was enrolled in graduate school training to become an elementary school teacher when an unexpected record deal shifted her path, drawing her back into music and eventually to Nashville with a clearer sense of direction and voice.
Her debut album, “Delusions of Grandeur” (2022), and follow-up “Baltic Street Hotel” (2024) , established her as a writer drawn to unpolished honesty and emotional directness. While those records leaned into country rock, alt-country, and blues, earning attention for its raw guitar work, restraint, and vocal presence, Gault’s newest album, “UNHINGED“ moves faster and hits harder, incorporating punk energy alongside rock and roll, blues, country, and folk. The performances are urgent and physical, and her voice carries a new level of bite and authority: confident, weathered, and fully in command. She has also contributed to the work of artists she admires, singing on Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart by Lucinda Williams alongside Siobhan Maher Kennedy, Buddy Miller, Margo Price, and Jeremy Ivey. As a performer and songwriter, Sophie Gault is stubborn by nature. She works outside of trends, follows instinct over instruction, and makes music on her own terms. Her songs don’t ask for permission, and neither does she.
