About the Artist(s)
Amid the excitement and ambiguity of a new start, Paige Anderson of Two Runner poses poignant questions on Porchlight, her resolute and tenderhearted new record. Beautiful string arrangements, intimate confessionals, and rollicking hymns for the lost and determined, here is an artist who’s been on the road consistently since early childhood - with persistence and commitment to her craft clearly in no short supply.
Porchlight offers tunes that are warm and steady, relatable nostalgia twinged with the ache of needing to move on. The result aptly links the uncertainty of letting go and simultaneous resolve of someone faced with no other choice. A destiny perhaps sealed from an early age, as Anderson began her touring career in a six-person family bluegrass band from the age of nine. Now nearly a decade into her own music career, she’s seen stages warming up for Sierra Ferrell, Watchhouse and Molly Tuttle.
Although change often comes en masse, it is surreal and jarring to start again. Paige Anderson offers Two Runner as solace and escape for those needing to reset, with sage comfort and kindness from her own accounts, the way all great songwriters do. Porchlight is perhaps best summed up by the chorus in track five, ‘Mocking Crow’: “Wake up tomorrow, there’s no in between - your heart knows what you need.” A reckoning, a stark look in the mirror, hope, and forward movement against all odds.
Maybe it’s odd for me to be the one writing this but why not hear it straight from the horse’s mouth? Does anyone actually read these? Well, if you’re still here…. My name is Patrick Dethlefs and I’m a singer, songwriter and musician based out of Denver, Colorado. I started releasing my own music around 2010. Since then I’ve played a lot of shows, written a fair amount of songs and opened for many people I could call heroes. I’ve got a new record “Patty” (out September 12th, 2025) and I think it is some of my best work yet. I hope you’ll check it out, share it with someone you love and come to a show.
