Stevie Nicks once said, "I'm gonna spend my life writing poems and turning them into music that'll affect people, touch their hearts. I'm going to write the songs that people can't write for themselves." This week's Needle Drop artist definitely writes songs that people can't write for themselves.

"I feel like it's where I can feel absolutely the most free that I ever feel in my life. Being fully present and in the moment is when I'm on stage... The part of me that is locked away, she comes out and she takes it in a direction that is completely different." - Liz Cooper

"We would drive around in my parents' GMC Savannah van and listen to the CD of 'Stand by Me.' ...When I think of bubblegum '50s pop, just bright, golden days when everyone was optimistic, I think of late '90s San Francisco as a very happy, golden time." - Patton Magee

"The older I get the more fearful I become, which you think would be the opposite. I spent the first part of my life feeling that I was indestructible and life was going to keep working out for me. I think part of 2020...was this felt sense that things can go horribly, horribly wrong." - Jenn Wasner
