CYRENA WAGES
Cyrena Wages fell in love with music on the country backroads between Millington and Shelby Forest, two small towns just north of Memphis. Her father, the hometown judge, drove her to school every day in a 1967 gold Cadillac with the license plate “ROBN HD” on the back, an homage to the underdog ideology, and a conceptual through line of her debut 2024 album, Vanity Project. Wages tapped producer Matt Ross-Spang (Margo Price, St. Paul & the Broken Bones) to helm Vanity Project, a heavy hearted country soul meets indie pop confessional, at his Southern Grooves Studio in Memphis. Upon it’s release, Cyrena toured in support of artists like Lilly Winwood, Hailey Whitters, Maggie Rose, Lucero, and Chaparelle, and debuted in spaces like the Troubadour, The Bluebird Cafe, SXSW, and Americana Fest.
