Sister Spotlight

Meet three Austin women making beautiful things happen in music right now.

Amber Westerman

Americana artist · songwriter · podcast host

Known as the “Americana Sunflower,” Amber creates warm, honest songs rooted in modern Americana. Her path has stretched from Marble Falls to Hawaii, Nashville and back to the Texas music community.

Happening now: Amber is raising support for All or Nothing, her debut full-length album. The all-or-nothing Kickstarter runs through September 30 and helps fund a deeply personal record about healing, growth and the many colors of being human.

She also hosts The Authentic Heart Podcast, sharing thoughtful conversations and encouragement for creatives and entrepreneurs who want to live and work more honestly.

Meredith “Scottie” Welborn

Alt-everything artist · songwriter · Austin storyteller

An Austin native and lifelong musician, Meredith brings an adventurous, theatrical spirit to everything she does. She fronts the female-led indie folk-rock project Deer Bunny, sings and plays guitar with The Modern Dread, and introduces visitors to the city’s creative history through Austin Music Tour.

New music: The Modern Dread has released its first single, Hit and Run. Meredith plays guitar and sings backing vocals on the track. Listener note: explicit content.

Between The Modern Dread, Deer Bunny, solo songwriting and music-history walking tours, Meredith keeps finding fresh ways to connect people with Austin’s artists and stories.

Patti Dixon

Award-winning songwriter · generous community champion · true Harmony Sister

This is what a true Harmony Sister looks like. Patti is an incredibly talented songwriter, but what makes her truly special is her heart. She consistently shows up for Harmony Sisters and the women around her—sharing opportunities, celebrating artists, offering encouragement and genuinely wanting other women to succeed.

New music: Patti’s beautiful new song, Us Girls, is a love letter to the sisterhood within the Texas music community. She was also featured by Austin Woman Magazine in partnership with Wavemakers Women & Music, sharing the journey that led to the song.

Patti is also one of JESKA’s Patreon members, supporting her music and creative work month after month. That belief—and the many ways Patti pours into this community—means more than words can say.

She performs at the Texas Women Songwriters Festival in Lockhart, September 18–20. Harmony Sisters could not be prouder to cheer her on. Congratulations, Patti. You are a beautiful example of what “Sisters Support Sisters” truly means. We love you!
