It was her aura and attitude that commanded the crowd, as her personality brightens like a Midwestern charm. At our Paste party in Austin in March, Reid took the indoor stage near the end of day one and stole the show. Before ending up in Montana, Reid was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the city where her parents met at the University of Michigan.

She has that Mountain West, small-town thoughftulness and couples it with an understanding of coastal panache. From ages 17 to 21, she played gigs in basements and churches and bars with her band Alyeska, and having a foot in both of those worlds is what has greatly shaped her own relatability.
