She Had Glass Eyes Book Release Party Featuring Music from the Author, Jhett Black AND Okapi.Callie Sioux is an award-winning songwriter, rock ’n’ roller, and bass player whose work spans music, fiction, film, and audio drama. Raised on a New Mexico ranch, her stories and songs reflect wide open spaces, grit, and persistence. Her audio epic drama, 1232, has launched her into the audio storytelling world, and a nomination for best Audio Drama 2025 RMA. With a recent signing to Twenty Hills Publishing, her Victorian Gothic Thriller, "She Had Glass Eyes" will be available in a bookstore near you. Based in Chattanooga, TN, she performs regularly, co-runs The Woodshop music venue, and continues to blend frontier spirit with southern creativity.
About Okapi:
The avant-folk duo Okapi, based in Asheville, NC, features Scott Mitchell Gorski (harmonium, voice) and Lindsey Paige Miller (cello). Typically an upright bass/cello group, they’ve recently taken an alternative compositional approach that explores traditional murder ballad themes and other folk elements through personal interpretation and contemporary lenses.
As an ode to Southern Appalachia, this body of work honors an independent study of sacred songwriting and balladry from their own unique perspective. Ranging from poetry with atonal noise to lullabies and ominous chants, each piece tells a distinctive story—depicting humanity's complex, corrupt, and unavoidably tethered relationship to nature.
As a whole, this collection of songs encapsulates man’s harmful ignorance and exploitation of natural resources, fueled by speciesist tendencies and a general disrespect toward the overarching, governing power of the divine feminine—which inevitably leads to man’s unmerciful demise.
