Riley Etheridge, Jr. was raised in South Carolina and spent 20 years in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, before settling in New York a few years ago. His latest album, Secrets, Hope & Waiting, is an intimate song cycle about an aging beauty queen told from several points of view, recorded in a converted church in New Orleans.
One of the songs, "Everything You Wanted," is a classic kiss-off and one of my ten favorite songs of 2016. Riley brought his regular band, which worked closely with him on the album, to Studio A for this session.
