Dubbed “The second coming of Joni Mitchell,” Chelsea Saddler has been hailed as the queen of women songwriters – past and present (Florida Times Union). Her lyrical content arises from a deep well of life experiences as a queer woman, adventure, and heartache. As Chelsea played a one hour set on NPR’s “Roots and Branches” in Tennessee, she described her greatest influences as Lightning Hopkins, Leonard Cohen, and Madeline Adams.  Originally from Jacksonville, FL, Chelsea has been performing in the southeast for the past two decades with three original albums under her belt. She has opened for national touring artists Chris Pureka, Melissa Ferrick, Shawn Mullins, Elephant Revival, Mount Moriah, David Onley, Cliff Eberhardt, and Susan Werner.  Winner of the city of St. Augustine’s and The Gamble Rogers Folk Festival Songwriting Competitions, Chelsea also placed first in Bokeh Bar’s Comedy Competition in 2017.  She has spent the majority of the past decade largely focusing her musical efforts on performing with Bad Dog Mama, her collaborative project with Lauren Gilliam, and writing new music. Chelsea’s long-awaited full-length original solo album The Offering is available now.
