Listen to Savannah Welch sing onstage or on record today, especially when knowing a thing or two about the musical family she grew up in, and it’s understandable how one could mistakenly assume she’s been doing this her whole life — or at the very least, wanted to do it her whole life. But the fact is, she’s still kind of new to it all, having only recently decided to follow her father Kevin and brother Dustin into the performing singer-songwriter business. Acting, not music, was actually her first passion — and she is still actively committed to her film career, juggling her busy touring and recording schedule as a founding member of the critically acclaimed all-female Americana act, The Trishas, alongside building up her IMDb resume with roles in projects ranging from Terrence Malick’s Oscar-nominated The Tree of Life to the teen comedy The Virginity Hit. But her biggest “hit” to date has been The Trishas, which originated as a “one time only” tribute act (paying tribute to none other than Savannah’s father, at a 2009 music festival in Steamboat Springs, Colo.) and bloomed virtually overnight into one of the most popular young acts on the Texas and national acoustic music scenes. To date, the Trishas have released two albums: the 2011 “mini album” They Call Us the Trishas (featuring Savannah’s signature song, “So Blue”), and 2012’s High, Wide and Handsome.
