Stereo Embers The Podcast 0377: Mackenzie Shivers

“Primrose Was In Season”

The Florida-born Mackenzie Shivers is a singer/songwriter of tremendous sensitivity and strength. Her new album Primrose Was In Season–and her fourth overall–

is a layered blend of moving compositions that summon joy and loss with dexterity and finesse. Produced by Kevin Salem, the album, which is the follow-up to

2021’s Rejection Letter, brings to mind the stirring textures of Emmylou Harris’ Wrecking Ball and Joe Henry’s Trampoline. Now living in the Hudson Valley, the

song-cycle on Primrose Was In Season braids together themes of healing, struggle, resilience and resolve and in the end, provides one of the most stirring listens of 2024. Shivers’ career

has found her acting off Broadway and touring Japan as a musician–and as an artist she’s brave and bold and unreasonably wonderful.
