She also played with artists like Ben Sollee, Shaky, Graves, and The Belleville Outfit. She released the album Shanti’s Shadow in 2017 with some musicians she gathered in New York. Shanti’s Shadow was so good that it led Rolling Stone to name her one of “10 Country Artists You Need to Know.” in 2017. It marked her arrival and solidified her place as one of the best country musicians of her time. Phoebe gave a Tedx Talk in November 2017 where she explained how music and songwriting can be used to sing one's pain away.
