As summer dips into fall, goldenrods bloom across the roadsides in Arkansas, and at the end of this goldenrod season, Teni Rane, singer-songwriter, Honors College Fellow, alumna and Razorback athlete, returns to campus to share her debut album named after the aureate plant that blossoms in periods of transition.   

Rane, a folk-country artist from Chattanooga, Tennessee, will be joined by Grammy-nominated Dave Eggar on cello and Phil Faconti on guitar to celebrate the release of her debut album “Goldenrod” at this year’s Honors College House Concert on Tuesday, October 2nd at 6 p.m. in Gearhart Hall 130.   

When describing the title track, Rane reflects on her love for the “in-between moments” in nature, but how she deeply fears change when applied to her own life.  

“Penned at a time when a multitude of changes made life feel like every piece and part of me was up for re-negotiation, the collection of songs presented in “Goldenrod” explores what it means to make progress through life without erasing the lessons and emotions of the past and present,” Rane noted.  

Heralded for her vocals and own brand of country-infused, Americana-folk-pop, Twangville compared Rane’s voice to “a favorite cardigan” while Guitar Girl Magazine commented on her “dreamy, velvet timbres.”  

“Goldenrod” was nominated by the Hollywood Independent Music Awards in the Folk/Acoustic category.
