As summer dips into fall, goldenrods bloom across the roadsides in Arkansas, and at the end of this goldenrod season, Teni Rane, singer-songwriter, Honors College Fellow, alumna and Razorback athlete, returns to campus to share her debut album, named after the aureate plant that blossoms in periods of transition.

Rane, a folk-country artist from Chattanooga, Tennessee, will be joined by Grammy-nominated Dave Eggar on cello and Phil Faconti on guitar to celebrate the release of her debut album, Goldenrod, at this year’s Honors College House Concert at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2, in Gearhart Hall 130.

The concert is free, open to all and will be followed by a reception. Please arrive early to reserve a seat. Parking will be available in the Harmon Avenue Parking Garage.

When describing the title track, Rane reflects on her love for the “in-between moments” in nature, but how she deeply fears change when applied to her own life.

“Penned at a time when a multitude of changes made life feel like every piece and part of me was up for renegotiation, the collection of songs presented in Goldenrod explores what it means to make progress through life without erasing the lessons and emotions of the past and present,” Rane noted.

Heralding her vocals and own brand of country-infused, Americana-folk-pop, Twangville compared Rane’s voice to “a favorite cardigan” while Guitar Girl Magazine commented on her “dreamy, velvet timbres.”

Goldenrod was nominated by the Hollywood Independent Music Awards in the Folk/Acoustic category.

“The Honors College is excited to host one of its exceptional alumni whose career trajectory has taken her into diverse — and unexpected — places, from corporate engineering to professional athletics and back again to the guitar, a lifelong passion now foregrounded in a highly successful career as a professional musician,” said Lynda Coon, dean of the Honors College. “You won’t want to miss seeing and hearing how Teni Rane navigates the twist and turns of her life through the dulcet tones of her guitar and voice.”
