Tonight, on The Sound we dive into the newly released singles from the upcoming album of Minnesota artists Maygen and the Birdwatcher, titled: The Americana Dream. Maygen and the Birdwatcher are an Americana folk/rock group of six talented artists, with artists Maygen Lacey and Noah Neumann at the helm. They have released several albums since their debut of "Moonshine" in 2021, and the hits keep coming with their upcoming October 10th release, "The Americana Dream". The group's sound fill this album with a bunch of boot stomping and gut-wrenching songs. I’m Annika Bakkum-Ekern saying sit back, kick back and get ready to listen to "The Americana dream' by Maygen and the Birdwatcher, tonight on The Sound.

Original air date: 05/21/25.
