She has been described by Barbara Mitchell of NPR as Americana and by Nicole Brodeur of the Seattle Times as alt-country.

Influenced by Patsy Cline among others, her albums include: Crooked Path (2008), The Only Thing That Matters (2009), Alone in This Together (2011), Call Your Girlfriend (Single) (2012), and most recently, "Go to Hell" (2013).

Jason Dodson is the lead singer, songwriter, and acoustic guitarist of The Maldives, the country rock band from Seattle, WA. Dodson is a secret cinephile and his love of film sets the stage for much of The Maldives's music. Dodson's storytelling reflects characters and places that blur the lines between fiction and nonfiction, the past and the present. His "intoxicating songwriting" (Willamette Weekly) has made The Maldives into a Northwest institutioon, with Dodson hailed as "one of Seattle's great unheralded voices" (City Arts). The Maldives most recent album is 2012's Muscle for the Wing (Spark & Shine).
