The label’s name, SOUTH FORTY RECORDS, is inspired by this area in Jackson, Montana where my mother’s side of the family have lived and worked as ranchers since the 1930’s.

One of the most vivid memories I had when I was younger, was sitting on a hill, looking out over this vast terrain, and finally feeling at home.

Patience and Lipstick by Linda Draper was the inaugural release on SOUTH FORTY RECORDS. Available on all streaming platforms, or for MP3 download/purchase on Apple Music and Amazon and on CD (limited supply).

Romance by Frederick Draper was the 2nd release on SOUTH FORTY RECORDS (digitally released on 6.14.2024). Out now on all streaming platforms. (Also available for MP3 download/purchase on Apple Music and Amazon).
