S.G. Goodman

S.G. Goodman is an American singer-songwriter.

Early life
Goodman is from Hickman, Kentucky. The Southern Baptist church played a central role in her childhood in Kentucky. Goodman began performing by singing in church. Her father was a farmer. She has played rhythm guitar since she was 15.

Goodman moved to Murray, Kentucky in 2007 to attend Murray State University, where she studied philosophy.

Career
Prior to her solo career, Goodman fronted the band The Savage Radley, releasing one album, Kudzu, in 2017.

Her debut solo album, Old Time Feeling, was co-produced by Jim James of My Morning Jacket. The album has been described as Americana, folk, country, and rock. She is signed to Verve Forecast Records. Tyler Childers covered "Space and Time" from Old Time Feeling on his album Rustin' in the Rain. "Space and Time" was also covered by Devonté Hynes and Mereba for the soundtrack to the 2022 film, Master Gardener.

In 2021, as a solo artist, she was among other things part of the Newport Folk Festival in July.

In June 2022, Goodman released her second album, Teeth Marks, on Verve Forecast. She usually plays with her guitar tuned down a whole step, though some songs on the record were played in this tuning with a capo. The fifth track on the album, "If You Were Someone I Loved" deals with the opioid crisis. Because her debut album was released during the COVID-19 pandemic, Goodman did not headline a tour for the album. As such, her tour for Teeth Marks was her first solo tour.

Personal life
Goodman is gay. She lives in Murray, Kentucky.
