Admiral Radio, the award-winning folk/Americana act from South Carolina, is the creative partnership of Coty Hoover and Becca Smith. Named after their old wooden radio, this husband-and-wife team blends heartfelt harmonies, storytelling, and raw sincerity. Their sound is straightforward yet powerful—rooted in tight vocal interplay and finely picked acoustic instruments. Inspired by the everyday, their songs explore life lessons, the quiet hustle of ordinary life, and the dogged optimism that drives it all.
The duo has three independently-produced albums under their belt; their debut original record Sounds Like You (2020) and Songs From the Vault (2022), an EP of songs from the public domain. Their latest album, Good Things Take Time (2024), has garnered critical acclaim and national radio play, with tracks like “Look Back and Learn” praised by American Songwriter for its ‘power to help and heal’.
Known for their energetic and emotional live shows, Admiral Radio has shared stages with bluegrass legend Del McCoury, folkgrass icon Molly Tuttle, pop-rock sensation Judah & the Lion, and more. Becca and Coty hold a presence that is palpable and real, both on and off stage. From humble beginnings to their growing buzz, Admiral Radio is redefining the folk tradition with every mile down America’s backroads.
