Righteous Babe Records officially welcomes Sweet Petunia to its artist-driven roster, expanding a community rooted in independence, activism and fearless self-expression. The Boston-born duo bring a vibrant blend of loud queerness, grassroots politics and acoustic firepower, with upcoming single “Good Part” set to introduce this new chapter.
“Since founding Sweet Petunia seven and a half years ago,” the duo share, “the driving forces of our creativity and partnership have been a love of music, an intrinsic need to express loud and unabashed queerness, and a dedication to strong political and moral convictions.” After years immersed in Boston’s politically centered DIY scene, aligning with Righteous Babe felt like a natural fit.
“When presented with the opportunity to join forces with a label like Righteous Babe… it was an absolute no brainer,” they add, praising the collective’s artist-first ethos and community spirit. The partnership builds on shared values of autonomy, camaraderie and purpose-driven art.
Ani DiFranco echoes the excitement. “i want to welcome sweet petunia to the righteous babe family! we share so much DNA with our focus on community and social action and also that our instruments don’t need electricity! may they live long and prosper and carry the torch.” With “Good Part” on the horizon, Sweet Petunia step into the RBR fold with conviction and heart.
