Nashville singer-songwriter India Ramey has a powerful story that fuels her music. Growing up with financial struggles, familial mental illness, and witnessing abuse, Ramey found solace in music. After working as a lawyer prosecuting domestic violence cases, she turned back to her first love of music when she was laid off during the Great Recession in 2009.
Her latest album, Baptized by the Blaze, delves into her personal struggles with addiction to Klonopin, which she used to cope with the trauma of her past. Ramey sees her music as a way to work through her traumas and hopes that it can inspire others to find their inner strength to face their own challenges.
One of the standout tracks on the album is “The Mountain,” where Ramey compares herself to an indestructible mountain, symbolizing her resilience in the face of adversity. While she does explore serious themes in her music, she also brings a lighter side with upbeat country songs like “Silverado,” a catchy tune about a one-night stand.
However, Ramey’s songwriting truly shines when she delves into more poignant narratives, as seen in “She Ain’t Never Coming Home,” a haunting tale of a woman who mysteriously disappears, leaving her loved ones to wonder about her fate.
For those interested in experiencing India Ramey’s music live, she will be performing at Judson & Moore on Thursday, November 7th. Opening acts have yet to be announced, but it promises to be a night filled with compelling storytelling and soulful music.
