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 (1.22.2022) was the inaugural release on SOUTH FORTY RECORDS.

Romance by Frederick Draper, the second release on SOUTH FORTY RECORDS, will be available on all streaming platforms on 6.14.2024.
