S.G. Goodman at Turntable

S.G. Goodman writes songs with the kind of lived-in detail that refuses to disappear after the last chorus. On January 22, 2027, she brings S.G. Goodman Presents: Visiting Hours to Turntable in Indianapolis, and the night starts at 8:00 PM. If you want a concert built on real feeling instead of polish, this one deserves your Friday.

Goodman is from Western Kentucky, and her latest album, Planting by the Signs, is rooted in that world. Released June 20, 2025, on her Slough Water Records through Thirty Tigers, it takes its title from the traditional practice of timing planting and other activities by the lunar signs. That's an unusual idea for a songwriter to build on, and it gives the music a sense of place you can't fake. Vulnerable folk writing meets guitar-driven rock, so the songs can be tender and loud, intimate and big.

Then there's the human story underneath. The album's themes include love, loss, reconciliation and a responsibility to the natural world. Her reconciliation with guitarist and co-producer Matthew Rowan helped shape the record, which gives these songs real weight. Hearing music like that live is different from hearing it through earbuds. You catch the pauses, the grit, and the moments when a lyric lands hard. Bring someone who loves honest songwriting, or come alone and let it sink in. Plan your night around Goodman's Visiting Hours at Turntable, and secure your spot for S.G. Goodman in Indianapolis.
