Artown at Renown Series: West of Home

Artown at Renown Series: West of Home

West of Home started when three busy moms realized life wasn't going to slow down—and decided to claim space for music. Based in Northern Nevada, this acoustic trio—Nabby Foulk, Angela Knight, and Courtney Morris—came together to carve out a treasured slice of time for music. When Angela and Nabby first sang together, their vocal blend instantly meshed. Add Courtney's multi-instrumental prowess—piano, mandolin, drums, whatever the song calls for—and what started as living room jam sessions turned into something they couldn't keep to themselves. Folk at heart and inspired by bluegrass, they are just as likely to wander into blues, oldies, pop, rock, and even Broadway. If it can be stripped down and rebuilt around strong vocals, they're interested. Fans of The Indigo Girls, The Wailin' Jennys, or Nickel Creek will feel right at home—but West of Home isn't trying to imitate anyone. They're chasing the songs that move them and inviting audiences along for the ride. Nabby brings a knack for arranging, steady fingerpicked guitar, and a strong, clear voice. Courtney is the band's musical Swiss Army knife—piano, mandolin, percussion—she's game for all of it. Angela's powerhouse vocals and natural ear for harmony give the trio its spark. Put them together, and the blend speaks for itself. Since stepping beyond their living rooms, West of Home has played for audiences big and small—from civic and government leaders to intimate house concerts—even making the local news along the way. They share songs from concerts and living room sessions on their Instagram @westofhomeband. But no matter the setting, their goal stays the same: connect people to music that means something. At its core, West of Home is about more than great harmony. It's about three women claiming space for creativity in a full season of life—and discovering that it didn't take away from their families. It enriched them. Their kids cheer them on. Their husbands haul gear and run sound. And their joy on stage is real. For ArTown audiences, West of Home brings strong vocals, creative arrangements, and the kind of warmth that turns a concert into a shared experience. Whether you love acoustic covers, harmony-driven folk, or simply a story well told, West of Home invites you to pull up a chair and enjoy.
