Ken Pomeroy – "Cicadas" (Soundcheck Podcast)

Ken Pomeroy is a Cherokee singer and guitarist from Oklahoma, and though she’s only 22, she’s already found herself on the big screen and small. She has a cameo in the film Twisters, and if you were a fan of the TV series Reservation Dogs, you may have heard her song “Cicadas,” which was prominently featured at the end of a particularly powerful episode of that show. Ken Pomeroy is releasing her new album, Cruel Joke, in May, and that song, "Cicadas", will be on it. Ken Pomeroy's live set in our studio is the latest Soundcheck Podcast.
