Adrian and Meredith
Folk duo Adrian and Meredith have always been ones to march to their own beat, and have never been apologetic for the art they create. The project brings together two performers who grew up on opposite ends of the musical spectrum. Adrian was raised on rock, punk, and motown with a unique croon to his voice and a &#8220;clawhammer banjo&#8221; approach to playing the acoustic guitar. Meredith cut her teeth in the old-time music scene, where she played traditional fiddle and learned flatfoot clogging while studying classical violin and classical tap dancing. Those two approaches come together in a way that honors the traditions of Folk and Americana music while pushing beyond those genres&#8217; boundaries. Both Adrian and Meredith are connected to their immigrant roots within their families and that cultural connection deeply informs the music.
Since the duo joined forces in 2015, they have been pounding the pavement, putting their own spin on Americana. Their music embodies the spirit of the human story with a nod to punk, the heart of folk, flavor of Polka, and bounce of swing. Passionate about building global empathy through sharing the stories and origins of their american roots music, Adrian and Meredith have spent nearly 150 shows a year since their inception touring the USA, Canada, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Belgium Denmark, Netherlands, The United Kingdom, and Ireland.
Their music takes audiences and listeners on a journey, embodying the spirit of the human story through the music and dance traditions of the United States and creates connection to their origins, informing audiences as to the history of American culture and how migration patterns created uniquely American music. From jazz, rock, polka, irish, old time, rock, punk, country, new orleans jazz, quebecois, mariachi, and cajun &#8211; each song celebrates the unique tapestry of what it means to be an American, “turn[ing] out a style that might be what alt-country would be like today if it had been born in Green Bay instead of St. Louis&#8230;.sassy horns and Meredith’s fiddle in gypsy-mode to comment on how truth and integrity have become quaint ideas in America (Twangville Music).”
Adrian and Meredith will be releasing their 3rd album &#8220;Klezmer American Acoustic Dynamite,” , a Dial Back Recording from Water Valley MS, with the help from friends of Squirrel Nut Zippers, Drive-By-Truckers, Punch Brothers/Mighty Poplar, and Jimbo Mathus. Drawing upon a diverse collection of influences, &#8220;Klezmer American&#8221; represents a departure from their norm, blending their consistent Klezmer melodies with the raw, gritty energy of John Kveen (bass), Hank West (horns), Bronson Tew (drums) of the incorrigible Squirrel Nut Zippers / Jimbo Mathus.
Adrian and Meredith take their fearless, blistering, and Balkan-tinged Americana to new heights with a live show that resembles a raucous, rebellious and home-spun variety show. 2023 has brought their full band sound back to the stage with festivals, tours, and teaching workshops throughout the USA and Europe. Two Europe tours, festivals like Blissfest (MI), Portland’s Folk Fest (OR) Mile of Music (WI), Jazz paa Fejoe (DK), Ahlen Fest (DE) and Wheatland Music Festival (MI), and support tours w/ Legendary Shackshakers, Jimbo Mathus, Shawn James and, Steve N&#8217; Seagulls all fill the calendar. They&#8217;ve showcased at Folk Alliance International (2021, 2022, 2023), and were selected by Daniel Lanois for his Uprise.FM streaming platform.              
Robert Ellis
Recorded live to tape in just two days, Robert Ellis’s exquisite new album, Yesterday’s News, is as stripped-down as it gets, with the celebrated songwriter and producer’s delicate, reedy tenor accompanied only by nylon string guitar, upright bass, and the occasional piece of handheld percussion. The arrangements are harmonically sophisticated here, drawing on the open tunings and intricate fingerpicking of English songwriters like Nick Drake or Richard Thompson, and Ellis’s performances are similarly subtle and nuanced, tapping into the bittersweet longing of Chet Baker and the playful poignancy of Bill Evans and Jim Hall.
While that might seem surprising coming off 2019’s raucous Texas Piano Man, subverting expectations is nothing new for Ellis. Born and raised outside Houston, he gained early acclaim for his piercing introspection and absorbing narratives, but over the course of five solo albums, he flirted with everything from Paul Simon and John Prine to Elton John and Joni Mitchell in a series of sonic and visual transformations that ran the gamut from Redneck Steely Dan to Lone Star Liberace. NPR hailed his “musical daring and impeccable songcraft,” while Rolling Stone praised his “sharp eye for storytelling,” and the New York Times lauded his writing as an emotional “gut punch.”
Yesterday’s News marks Ellis’s debut LP for Niles City Records, an outgrowth of the famed Niles City Sound studio he and longtime collaborator Josh Block run in Fort Worth, TX.
Will Hoge
Will Hoge will release Sweet Misery, the Grammy-nominated artist’s 15th studio album on Friday, August 22. On Sweet Misery, Hoge reminds listeners that he isn’t afraid to break new ground &#8211; all while giving a keen nod to his rock and roll roots with the kind of grace and purpose that only comes with experience &#8211; without the baggage of predictability. In Will&#8217;s own words &#8211; “Following the re-recording and re-releases of Carousel and Blackbird On A Lonely Wire I found myself really wanting to make a louder, hooky, rock-n-roll band record again. Good stories, big choruses, shit to make you play it loud and drive fast with the windows down. I was without a band so I enlisted a crew of folks who I love &#8211; folks that I believed could really help bring out the bigger ideas in the songs. I hope folks will find some headphones and give it a good, loud listen. Top to bottom, the way albums should be listened to.”
Will Hoge has a career whose milestones include Number One hits, Grammy nods, major-label record deals, and hard-won independence. Years before Americana music received its own category at the Grammy Awards, Hoge was on the frontlines, helping to pilot and popularize the genre&#8217;s blend of American roots music. In the current digital era dominated by influencers seeking shortcuts to stardom, Will Hoge proudly treads the scenic route, immersing himself in the journey rather than fixating on the destination.
Abe Partridge
Abe Partridge is a heralded musician, singer/songwriter, visual artist, and podcaster based in  Mobile, Alabama. His 2018 debut, Cotton Fields and Blood For Days earned him rave reviews,  with Tony Paris saying in The Bitter Southerner: &#8220;He plays guitar the same way he writes lyrics,  bashing the strings with abandon until they are just about to come loose, then beautifully picking  the notes until every last word falls into place. More to the point, Partridge writes to make you sit  up and think. He wants to jar your reality. Sometimes, his lyrics are sly and subtle. Sometimes  they come at you with a roar and thunder, as if the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were  approaching, and the heavens were opening up to herald a warning.&#8221;
Since the release of his debut, Partridge has toured relentlessly, including several tours of the  Netherlands and the U.K. developing a reputation for moving, passionate, and sometimes  comedic, performances at prestigious songwriter festivals such as 30A Songwriters Festival,  Frank Brown Songwriters Festival, and Americanafest. He is a regular at the Bluebird Café in  Nashville and Eddie’s Attic in Decatur. He has performed on the syndicated radio programs,  Mountain Stage and Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour. He has shared the stage with Morgan  Wade, Paul Thorn, Steve Poltz, Dan Bern, Jerry Joseph, Glen Phillips (Toad The Wet Sprocket),  Tommy Stinson, Shawn Mullins, John Fullbright, and more.
When Partridge is not writing or touring, he is also a highly acclaimed visual artist. His paintings,  primarily acrylic on tarred board and watercolors, now hang in art galleries around the southeast  and in the private collections of Tyler Childers, Mike Wolfe (American Pickers), Rick Hirsch (Wet  Willie), and Tommy Prine. His artwork was featured in Stephen King’s 2019 sequel to The
Shining &#8211; Dr. Sleep. He painted the cover art for Charlie Parr’s, Last Of The Better Days Ahead  (Smithsonian Folkways). He also created art for Tyler Childers’ 2022 release, Can I Take My  Hounds To Heaven?
American Songwriter Magazine said, “Abe Partridge has established himself as one of the most  respected songwriters and visual folk artists in the southeast.”
Justin Wells
With Justin Wells’ latest album, 𝘊𝘺𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢, the Kentucky singer-songwriter once again stokes the fiery depths of his pure intent, the core elements of the record revolving around things that matter most in life — steadfast family, genuine friends, and creative fulfillment.
Captured by Grammy-nominated producer Duane Lundy at his legendary studio in Lexington, Kentucky, 𝘊𝘺𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 came about as an ode to Wells’ wife, Andrea, with whom he first crossed paths with when they were both teenagers.
“Cynthiana is the small central Kentucky town where we met,” Wells says. “There’s little pieces of her in all of these songs.”
The 10-song LP harnesses the raw power and lyrical honesty that’s made Wells a stoic figure in the rich, vibrant tapestry of music bubbling up over the last decade or so from The Bluegrass State — with Wells’ tone and talent quickly spilling out to the rest of the country.
“Cranking up the amps and gliding down the fretboard of his Fender Telecaster, singer-songwriter Justin Wells — in a similar tone to the late, great George Jones — rumbled across the Outpost stage, the sweat of a humid mid-summer afternoon dripping from his forehead,” Rolling Stone wrote of his recent AVLFest appearance.
It doesn’t matter to Wells the portals by which he’s able to reach the listener. What counts is this internal mission to connect with whoever’s in the room — folks in search of compassion and something real in a sometimes lonely and confusing world.

this months artists: 
Eric Paslay 
Country artist Eric Paslay delivers a powerful punch as a renowned Platinum-selling, GRAMMY nominated hit songwriter, artist, and performer. He’s celebrated five No.1 hits, with four of those ranked among the“Top 100 Songs of the Decade” by Country Aircheck, including the #1 spot on that chart with “BarefootBlue Jean Night” as recorded by Jake Owen. The Temple, Texas native has earned numerous songwriter award nominations including GRAMMY’s Best Country Song, ACM’s Song of the Year twice and the CMA Song of The Year as well as an artist GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “The Driver” -a collaboration with friends Charles Kelley and Dierks Bentley. In 2022, Eric continues to see success as a songwriter, having co-penned Keith Urban’s latest hit “Wild Hearts.” And his latest album, compilation reimagined versions of Eric&#8217;s Biggest hits as a writer and artist, Even If It Breaks Your Barefoot Friday Night, is available now.

Charles Kelley
One third of the Grammy winning country trio Lady A and a chart-topping songwriter on his own, Kelley has often stepped outside of his default creative setting…just not this completely. Along with culture-defining hits for his own band, he’s co-penned favorites for Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Brett Young, and more – and with 2016’s THE DRIVER, used his solo debut to explore a vision of the modern singer-songwriter, leading to another Grammy nomination for the title track,“The Driver” (featuring Dierks Bentley and Eric Paslay). Now releasing his second solo album SONGS FOR A NEW MOON on June 25th, Kelley steps into a new chapter, as the 16 tracks seeping with unbridled optimism and irresistible 80’s pop flair celebrate an age of renewed possibility and fresh perspective, both musically and in life. Produced mainly by Sam Ellis and Lindsay Rimes and with Kelley co-penning all the original songs, the project fully embraces a freeing sense of sonic abandon, as the richly textured digital grooves feature roaring saxophones, saccharine guitars and sky-high vocal stacks, pushing Kelley to new levels.

When virtuoso Irish playing jumps the pond running naked through the wide open fields of bluegrass/Americana, JigJam is born. Bluegrass and American Folk music originated from the group’s home, and now JigJam is here to take it back!
JigJam made its Grand Ole Opry Debut in Nashville in March 2023 to critical acclaim receiving a standing ovation from a sold-out crowd on Country Music’s biggest stage. The group was joined on the night by Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Steve Earle, Lauren Alaina, and many more. This Offaly and Tipperary-born band has started the first wave of attack in the new Irish invasion of Americana. ‘Foot stomping’, ‘high energy’ badassery is what you’re in for when you see this musical powerhouse live in concert.
Founding members from Offaly Jamie McKeogh (Lead singer and guitar) and Daithi Melia (5 String Banjo and Dobro) were joined by Tipperary-born Gavin Strappe (Mandolin and Tenor Banjo) in 2016. This year they are joined by Kevin Buckley (Fiddle) to make up this iGrass (Irish Bluegrass) quartet .Described as ‘The best Irish band in bluegrass’ and ‘sparkling, infectious’ these lads have been hailed as ‘Ireland’s answer to New Grass Revival.’
Bluegrass has its roots in Irish music and Irish immigration. iGrass and JigJam is what happens when the Irish find their prodigal son.

Music Row predicted she’ll be the Next Big Thing, about the same time the guitar goddess became a Fender Next artist and a CMT Next Women of Country. But Whiskey Riff believes Hannah Dasher is still “one of Nashville’s best kept secrets, much like Chris Stapleton used to be.” They claim she’s one of the best live acts they’ve seen in a long time.  A true entertainer, she’s amassed over 1.5M followers on TikTok and has become a viral sensation on other platforms.
Walk into her “Honkytonk Graceland” home and find that this artist is no character.  She lives like she looks. Preserving the best of nostalgic Country music and building upon it with a fresh, new sound, Hannah Dasher feels like the big piece of the puzzle we’ve been missing for a while.

GRAMMY, CMA and ACM award winner Ashley McBryde cut her teeth playing country songs in biker bars – and it shows. The Grand Ole Opry member’s 2018 major label debut Girl Going Nowhere (Warner Music Nashville) charmed The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, The Washington Post and more, all en route to landing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. McBryde closed out 2019 with ACM New Female Artist, CMT Breakout Artist, a New Artist of the Year win at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards and two nominations for the 2020 GRAMMYs for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for “Girl Goin’ Nowhere.” Follow-up Never Will was tagged by Rolling Stone as one of the most anticipated of the year alongside NPR, who also ranked her Top 10 RIAA Platinum-Certified single “One Night Standards” as one of the best songs of 2019. The album earned McBryde a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making Never Will the only album nominated for Country Album of the Year by the ACMs, CMAs and the Recording Academy in the same award season. Her GRAMMY-winning duet with Carly Pearce, “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” went all the way to No. 1 and earned McBryde and Pearce the ACM and CMA award for Musical Event of the Year. McBryde was honored with the 2022 CMA International Artist Achievement Award for the most significant creative growth, development and promotion of the country music industry outside of the United States. Her collaborative project Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville earned McBryde her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making her a six-time nominee. Her latest album The Devil I Know was released to critical acclaim, earning a title as one of the best country albums of the year from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Slate, PASTE, Holler and more. Hailed as “one of country’s most cherished singer-songwriters” by Cowboys &amp; Indians, McBryde released long awaited fan favorite “Rattlesnake Preacher” last month. The Arkansas native is headlining nationwide now alongside select fair and festival dates this summer.

Join us for an evening with Waymore’s Outlaws honoring Waylon Jennings with former members of Waylon Jennings recording and touring band.
Honoring the man and his music Waymore’s Outlaws consists of former members of Waylon Jennings recording and touring band, The Waylors, including Jerry “Jigger” Bridges on bass, Barny Robertson on keys, Carter Robertson on vocals, Jeff Hale on drums and steel guitarist Fred Newell. Collectively, the band performed on the recordings of Waylon’s megahits such as “I Ain’t Living Long Like This,” the Dukes of Hazzard “Good Ol’ Boys” theme, “Luckenbach Texas” and “Rainy Day Woman,” as well as countless other gold and platinum hits. Lead guitarist and singer Tommy Townsend adds to their mix of Outlaw music. Waymore’s Outlaws are keeping the spirit of Waylon Jennings and his music alive today.
Jerry “Jigger” Bridges, who spent a little over two decades out on the road with Waylon, plays bass for Waymore’s Outlaws. A native of Red Bay, Alabama, Jigger was strongly influenced by the R&amp;B emerging from nearby Muscle Shoals. Following a four-year stint as a staff musician at FAME Recording Studio, he moved to Nashville and began working with Waylon on the “Dukes of Hazzard” soundtrack. After his contributing bass work on Waylon’s Greatest Hits album, Richie and Waylon asked Jigger to join The Waylors on the road. GRAMMY Award-winning producer, arranger, and engineer Barny Robertson played keys for Waylon for many years and has produced and arranged over 50 albums. As an in-demand session player, he received the “Nashville Super Picker Award.” He has been nominated for three Dove Awards and in 1992 won a Grammy Award for producing “A Cappella Kids.” Instantly recognizable artist and vocalist 
Carter Robertson holds the distinction of being the only female member of Waylon’s band. She backed up both Waylon and his wife, Jessi Colter, on stage and in the studio. Her recording credits include Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Don Was and many others.
Fred Newell is a veteran of the Nashville studio scene who has recorded with everyone from Ray Charles to George Strait. In addition to being the staff lead guitarist on numerous TV shows, he is respected worldwide for his ability to generate feeling and sounds out of his instruments that many struggle to emulate. The first country guitarist to ever receive an endorsement from Marshall Amplifiers, Newell is a guitar legend in many circles. Fred joined Waylon’s touring band on pedal steel during the 90s after the late and legendary Ralph Mooney retired from the road.
Jeff Hale has immense touring and recording experience. While playing drums in the lounges of Memphis and attending Memphis State University, Jeff began touring and recording with Tony Joe White after Tony heard some demo recordings Jeff did with Stax Records. The songwriting connection between Tony Joe White and Waylon led to Waylon making Jeff a permanent fixture in his band, where he spent the next fourteen years honing his skills and learning every aspect of the music business from the undisputed “rebel” of outlaw country music. Jeff received recognition from Modern Drummer magazine for “Best Country Drummer” and through the years has shared the stage with many artists.
Tommy Townsend, the band’s lead guitarist and singer, is a native of Blairsville, Georgia. Waylon was a pivotal force in Townsend’s life, as Tommy had the distinction of being mentored by Waylon in his youth. The two collaborated several times over the years, with Waylon playing guitar and singing harmony on some tracks and co-producing an album on Tommy with Jerry Bridges. Waylon and his band took Tommy under their wings recording in the studio and occasionally out for appearances on the road. As a songwriter, Tommy co-wrote three of the songs on Waymore’s Outlaws CD, Same Ol’ Outlaws, which was the first of three albums released by the band.
No biography about Waylon Jennings or any of his band configurations is compete without mentioning the late Richie Albright. Waylon’s original drummer, longtime friend, and right-hand man joined Waylon and The Waylors in 1964, and he was the steadfast drummer for Waymore’s Outlaws until his passing in 2021. Richie not only toured and recorded with Waylon for decades but produced or co-produced many of Waylon’s records that are still being played on radio today. In the world of country music Richie not only made history as a drummer, songwriter, and producer, he was immortalized in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s Nashville Cats exhibit in 2019. The list of artists he played and/or recorded with is a long one, including Jessi Colter, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Jr, Tony Joe White, and Goose Creek Symphony.

Uncle B&#8217;s Drunk With Power String Band Show is Bryan Simpson&#8217;s irreverent trippy-trad tent revival of a musical experience currently in residence in the Neon Steeple at Chief&#8217;s on Broadway in Nashville, Tennessee. Aka. the Damned Ole Opry &#8211; the variety show features a wildly talented slew of colorful and creative musicians, singers, and songwriters that tear things down to the stud level all in the way of a grand ole time. Each month, Uncle B’s honors a legendary record with renditions of classic songs performed on banjos, fiddles and mandolins. It’s hay bales and hell yeahs! Imagine Billy Strings meets Barnum and Bailey. Hee Haw and Half Baked had a baby. It’s best witnessed instead of discussed. Come lay eyes on it.
This Month the Drunk with Power String Band play guilty pleasures and old time bluegrass.
Bryan Simpson
Modern American eclectic singer-songwriter Bryan Simpson is an artist whose sound unnervingly explores an evocative amalgamation of southern folk, bluegrass, classic country and indie eclecticism, with the playful swagger, relatable storytelling, and thoughtful introspection of his heroes which include John Hartford, Tom T Hall, Jeff Tweedy, and of course Bob Dylan.
Bryan’s songs have netted praise from all corners: The Huffington Post wrote “Bryan’s original undertakings are reminiscent of the whimsical and whip-smart work by David Byrne and Jim James”. While SeattlePi claims Simpson’s music echoes “Bowie, and Beck in the melodies, moods, and arrangements. The quest is entertaining and thought-provoking.” His genre-spanning career has included making records and touring as a singer/songwriter with luminaries as diverse as The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, bluegrass giant Ricky Skaggs and Mumford and Sons. Since leaving his hometown of Ft Worth Texas with only a fiddle, guitar, mandolin and a box fan to his name, Simpson has had many of his original songs recorded by country music standouts like Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Hailey Whitters, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Brandy Clark, Old Dominion, Stephen Wilson Jr., with several of them ending up with a number 1 beside their name on the Billboard and Music Row charts . He has also been awarded NSAI’s prestigious award of “10 Songs I wish I’d Written”. His songs have easily totaled over 500 million streams at this point.
This year Simpson released his first record under his own name. “The Oldest”, released in April, is a concise 11 songs in length, produced by Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan/Brandi Carlisle) and takes Simpson’s shade tree kaleidoscopic storytelling center stage
John Mailander
John Mailander is an acclaimed multi-instrumentalist based in Nashville, TN. As a performer, producer, composer, educator, and recording artist, John is known for his voice on the fiddle, mandolin, and other stringed instruments.
He is a member of <a href="http://www.brucehornsby.com/">Bruce Hornsby &amp; the Noisemakers</a>, and the leader of his own project, <a href="https://www.johnmailander.com/forecast">John Mailander’s Forecast</a>. His playing can be heard on albums by Billy Strings (including the Grammy-winning album Home), Noah Kahan, Joy Williams, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Lucy Dacus, Molly Tuttle, Joe K. Walsh, Chatham County Line, Sam Burchfield, and many more.
As a touring musician, John has worked closely with artists including Billy Strings, Mighty Poplar, Lindsay Lou, Sam Grisman, Peter Rowan, Keller Williams, Bella White, Sierra Hull, Tony Trischka, Jacob Jolliff, Ruth Moody, Maya De Vitry, Lee Ann Womack, Rev. Jeff Mosier, and more. He played fiddle for the premier of Steve Martin &amp; Edie Brickell’s musical, Bright Star, in New York. As a member of Bruce Hornsby’s Noisemakers, he has had opportunities to make music on stage with artists and musical heroes such as John Scofield, Kenny Garrett, Christian McBride, Sam Amidon, Shawn Colvin, and The Wood Brothers.
 Vince Herman 
Vince Herman is a Bluegrass guitarist and singer-songwriter, best known for being one of the founding members of the band Leftover Salmon. 
Herman began playing guitar as a child. He discovered David Bromberg &amp; his Big Band while in ninth grade and says it was at that point he knew music was what he wanted to do with his life. He played his first professional gigs in the eleventh grade with local band Eddie and the Night Riders. Herman went to West Virginia University for college and began his music education by playing in a number of bands. He learned from bluegrass legends like Melvin Wine, Mose Coffman, J.P. Fraley and Dewey Balfa. 
After college, Herman moved to Colorado and met future bandmate Drew Emmitt. Over the next few years, Emmitt continued to play with the Left Hand String Band and Herman formed the Salmon Heads. The two formed Leftover Salmon a few years later, in 1989, when they combined Emmitt’s newgrass inspired Left Hand String Band and Herman’s Cajun-jugband Salmon Heads. Over the next 16 years, Leftover Salmon toured extensively, was part of the jamband scene, and played at the influential H.O.R.D.E festivals. The band went on hiatus in 2005 and Herman formed Great American Taxi, who released their debut album, Streets of Gold, in 2007. Great American Taxi toured extensively and released two more albums, 2009&#8217;s Reckless Habits and 2011&#8217;s Paradise Lost. Herman played with Great American Taxi until Leftover Salmon returned in 2013. 
In 2019, he formed the super-group High Hawks with keyboardist 
Wyatt Ellis 
Wyatt Ellis, 16-year-old mandolinist, singer, and songwriter from East Tennessee, stands out as one of the most exciting young artists in bluegrass and country music. A skilled multi-instrumentalist with a deep respect for tradition, he leads a powerhouse band known for their raw, single-mic energy and crowd-pleasing performances. By age 13, Wyatt performed at the Grand Ole Opry. At age 14, he was invited to return with his band for his Official Opry Debut, performing his original music in the Circle-an unprecedented accomplishment. Wyatt picked up the mandolin at age 10 and honed his craft during 2020, learning from many of the genre’s top musicians. His debut album, Happy Valley, a collection of original instrumentals written when he was just 11 years old, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart, marking the arrival of a bold and authentic new voice in American roots music. Wyatt is also currently featured in the Country Music Hall of Fame’s American Currents exhibit and proudly serves as the ambassador for the Great Smokies Region Tourism, representing the rich musical traditions of Appalachia to 
the world. Wyatt’s story embodies the classic country music narrative. From barefoot pickin&#8217; on his porch in a holler in East Tennessee to standing ovations on the world’s most iconic stage, his career is a testament to the power of &#8216;hillbilly music.&#8221; Born and raised in the heart of East Tennessee, Wyatt carries the spirit of tradition while simultaneously reshaping the landscape for future generations. As his career continues to unfold, it’s clear that a special blend of musicality, dedication, and authentic Appalachian heritage will ensure that Wyatt Ellis remains a lasting influence on the bluegrass genre and the broader world of acoustic music for years to come.

<div class="elementToProof">After parting ways with Capitol, Emily independently released her EP I Hate You, I Love You, which soared to #2 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts for two consecutive weeks. In 2014, she was invited to perform at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem for the 50th Anniversary celebration of The Beatles’ arrival in America.</div>
<div class="elementToProof">With no set plans back in Nashville, Emily remained in New York, where a spontaneous audition led her to the national stage on NBC’s America’s Got Talent.

Smith began releasing music in 2019, quickly amassing over 50 million streams on his debut single, “Like I Knew You Would.” Known for not only high-energy guitar slinging and smooth vocals, the CMT 2021 Listen Up artist also composed and played every string instrument on each track of his debut project.
As Taste of Country noted his “raw talent, authenticity and strong work ethic are bound to bring him Country music success for many, many years” as one of 2021’s Hottest Country Artists Under 25. MusicRow called Smith the 2021 Next Big Thing, while “Like I Knew You Would” charted as the number 7 song of the year on Spotify’s Hot Country.
Payton Smith signed with Combustion Masters in late 2022, releasing “Missed The Boat” in early 2023, produced by Combustion’s Chris Farren. Smith’s debut album, What Colors Your Wild, was released on March 19th, with playlisting features on Apple’s New In County, Spotify’s New Music Friday Country and Tidal’s Country Waves, Rising: Country and Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Country, gaining 3 million streams.
Payton recently concluded supporting Brantley Gilbert and Lily Rose on their 2025 spring tours. Payton has also shared the stage with artists such as Lee Brice, Chris Young, Mitchell Tenpenny, Conner Smith ,and more.

There is a grit that seems to seep from every note Lewis Brice sings.
Brice started making substantial waves in the industry with 2010’s “Ordinary Girl.” He competed on CMT’s Can You Duet? snagging a top ten spot after beating thousands of his fellow music-makers. He took the lead role in brother Lee Brice’s “I Drive Your Truck” music video and took home a British CMA Award for “International Song of the Year” for his heartfelt song “Blessed.” With more outstanding original tracks such as, “It’s You (I’ve Been Looking for)” “Summertime Vibes&#8221;, &#8221; Messin with my mind&#8221; and “Call Me Yours,” Brice has surpassed over Fifty Million streams across the digital platforms.
He has received accolades from the likes of Rolling Stone and Billboard and has shared the stage with acts like Luke Bryan, Dierks Bently, Hank Williams Jr. Gary Allan and Lee Brice just to name a few.
But make no mistake – Brice is nowhere close to tying a shiny bow on life just yet. “I can still write songs about broken hearts and promises…because I&#8217;ve been there. But I&#8217;ve also got a lot of life experiences to share, both good and bad.” With Lewis Brice, the glass is always half full. As in his song inspired by Matthew McConaughey’s quote, “Let me tell you this, the older you do get, the more rules they’re gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin man, L.I.V.I.N.

Years before her first single, Break Down Here, turned her into a country headliner, Julie Roberts was a young girl with a dream in rural South Carolina, raised on the sounds of traditional country music, blues, and old-school soul.
&#8220;The radio was our escape,&#8221; she remembers. “Every guitar lick, every melody, every bit of hurt in someone&#8217;s voice became ingrained in my head.&#8221;
After Break Down Here, Roberts followed with classics such as Wake Up Older, Men and Mascara, and Rain on a Tin Roof. She sang the Good Morning America theme song, did national ads for Clinique, had a featured photo spread in Maxim Magazine, and signed her story to Lifetime Channel for a movie.
Then, after selling over a million records, she took a step back to deal with family and some medical issues. In 2022, Julie re-entered music with what many are referring to as her career record, the best since her self-titled debut, singing about love, loss, roots, and redemption in a voice that&#8217;s never sounded bigger. Produced by Shooter Jennings and Erin Enderlin, “Ain’t in No Hurry” features 14 songs across a variety of styles, including duets with Jamey Johnson and Randy Houser. Every song highlights her trademark energy and a celebration of authentic country music and passion.

With a guitar slung over his shoulder and the amps turned up full tilt, Anthony Gomes electrifies blues and rock at a 21st century crossroads of his own. The Canadian vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and producer wails with all the force of a hurricane in the Mississippi Delta and enough fret-burning fireworks to leave his strings in flames. Over the years, he’s toppled the Billboard Blues Chart at #1, earned the endorsement of legends such as B.B. King, tallied tens of millions of streams, and packed shows on multiple continents. In April 2025, Anthony Gomes is back with his much-anticipated 14th studio album, Praise the Loud, set for release on Rat Pak Records.
“I’ve learned how to embrace my voice as a guitarist and as a singer,” he states. “I understand who I am, and I use my strengths to my advantage. I have a blues soul and a rock ‘n’ roll heart. I love to jump back and forth between both with a modern day approach. When I play rock, it’s got a little more dust on it.&#8221;
Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, he fell in love with music as a kid, listening to everyone from Muddy Waters and Jimi Hendrix to Jeff Beck and Eddie Van Halen. At 14 years old, Anthony gravitated to the guitar and his relationship with the instrument was born. After grinding it out, his chops caught the attention of B.B. King’s bus driver at a jam night. Blown away, the driver introduced him to B.B. who invited him to open up a string of tour dates in 2005. Gaining invaluable knowledge from “The King,” he went on to share the stage with the likes of Buddy Guy, Robert Plant, Joe Bonamassa, Heart, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and more. Along the way, his concert attendees have included Academy® Award winner Morgan Freeman, JohnGoodman, and Vince Vaughn as well as Eric Clapton, to name a few.
2022’s High Voltage Blues vaulted to #1 on the iTunes Top Blues Albums Chart, #1 on Amazon Music’s New Release Blues Chart and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues chart. It remained on the Billboard Blues chart for 58 consecutive weeks, landing on &#8216;Billboard&#8217;s Top 15 Blues Albums of the Year&#8217; for both 2023 and 2024.
Meanwhile, Total Guitar listed Gomes as &#8216;One of the 100 Greatest Blues Guitarists of All Time&#8217; in 2024. Guitar World readers voted him one of “The 30 Best Blues Guitarists in the World Today” in 2019, and the publication noted, “Gomes is another power player who is at his best when his gear is in the scorched earth between blues and rock.”
Anthony&#8217;s latest release, 2025&#8217;s Praise the Loud, delivers 12 fresh studio tracks that showcase Anthony’s musical evolution while staying true to the no-holds-barred sound that has earned him a global fanbase.
Reflecting on the new album, Anthony shares, “On Praise the Loud, we pushed our musical boundaries in every direction. We wanted it to rock harder than anything we’ve done before, but at the same time, we wanted it to have a deeper, more soulful blues feel. When people ask me what I sound like, I say, ‘If B.B. King was in AC/DC, that’s what it would be’. That’s Praise The Loud in a nutshell.”
Gomes cites the track &#8216;Rock &amp; Roll Bluesman&#8217; as the thesis of the album. &#8220;My favorite line on the album comes from the song ‘Rock &amp; Roll Bluesman’: ‘I don’t care if they love or hate us, gonna turn it up so they won’t forget us.’ That lyric captures the spirit of the album—declaring that we’re playing blues rock on our own terms, no matter what.”
From the powerful rhythms of the album opener “Praise the Loud” to the ZZ Top-inspired groove of “Netflix &amp; Chill,” Anthony tackles a range of emotions and topics with his signature blend of layered harmonies, infectious rhythms, and blues-infused grooves. Tracks like “Meet My Maker,” “Black Diamond Heavy,” and “Electric Blues Crusade” highlight nhis ability to stretch his creative boundaries and expand his lyrical scope, while songs like “Love Song Gone Wrong” and “In the Name of the Blues” showcase his unmistakable blues guitar mastery. Produced by Peter Carson/Anthony Gomes and mixed by Chris Collier, Praise the Loud packs the punch and energy fans have come to expect from this world-class blues artist.
In the end, Anthony Gomes is just the kind of guitar hero we need for today.
“I still believe in a world of guitar heroes,” he smiles. “I strive for a world where you don’t have to be 19 years old to sell a lot of records and tickets and to make a statement. I’m one of those people who doesn’t think rock, or the blues is dead. I’m looking for fresh ways to bring them together. I’m at the table rolling the dice all in the name of blues and rock ‘n’ roll. I know there’s never been a more exciting time for music, and I’m here for the journey.”

During the creative explosion that was Country music in the 1990s Suzy Bogguss sold over 4 million albums with sparkling radio hits like “Outbound Plane”, “Someday Soon”, “Letting Go,” “Drive South,” and “Hey Cinderella.”  But you can’t peg Suzy that easily… In the midst of her mainstream Country popularity she took time off to make a duets album with the legendary Chet Atkins. In 2003 she made an album of modern swing music with Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel. An album of original music in 2007 landed her at number 4 on the jazz charts. Her folk music roots show through in her frequent appearances on public radio’s A Prairie Home Companion, in the Grammy she earned for her work on Beautiful Dreamer: The Songs of Stephen Foster, and in her critically acclaimed album and book project from 2011, American Folk Songbook. In 2014 she released Lucky, a collection of songs written by Merle Haggard and interpreted through Suzy’s crystal vocals from the female point of view. Her latest offering, Prayin’ For Sunshine, is an Americana tour de force with all songs written by Bogguss. She continues to tour the world, both on her own and with fellow country radio divas Terri Clark and Pam Tills as “Chicks With Hits” and more recently, with Kathy Mattea on their Together At Last tour. So yes, you can call her a country singer if you want, but really that’s just the beginning.

Brei Carter
 In the heart of Monroe, Louisiana, amidst the nurturing embrace of the Deep South, Brei Carter was born into a world where faith, music, and love intertwine like the roots of ancient oaks. Raised on a rich diet of gospel hymns from the Lone Star Missionary Baptist Church, the soul-stirring melodies of Charley Pride and Loretta Lynn, and the powerful voice of Aretha Franklin, Brei’s life was been rooted in strong southern tradition and unwavering familial devotion. This foundation, layered with the sacred words of the Bible, became the bedrock of her journey.
But Brei’s path was anything but ordinary. With a relentless spirit, she pursued education with the same fervor she held for music, earning a Bachelor’s in Business from the University of Louisiana in Monroe, a Master’s in International Relations from Webster University, and a Doctorate in Theology from New Foundation Theological Seminary. Her service in the U.S. Army, both as an enlisted soldier and an officer, further shaped her resilience and dedication.
Upon setting her boots in Nashville, Brei Carter carved a niche for herself as an exquisite country soul singer-songwriter, blending the threads of country, soul, and southern pop into an electrifying tapestry of sound. Her debut single, “Gave Him A Girl,” captured hearts with its charm, earning praise for its catchy sincerity. Esteemed voices in the music world, including Music Row Magazine’s Robert K. Oermann and platforms like TBN-TV’s Huckabee, RFD-TV’s Market Day Report, The Bluegrass Situation and Billboard have all recognized her unique blend of storytelling and melody.
Brei’s journey through music is a testament to the power of dreams and the courage to chase them. Her first album, Brand New Country, not only paid homage to her roots with a beloved cover of Charley Pride’s “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’,” but also narrated her indomitable spirit in “Stronger Than That.” The release of “Straight Up Country Crazy” in 2023 revealed the vibrancy and depth of her character, while her Twinkling Tales of Christmas EP brought warmth and joy to the holiday season.
Daya Dorado
Raised in Texas in a Mexican household, Daya Dorado’s take on Country music is a fusion of those two cultures. Her self-proclaimed “Tex-Mex Country” combines classic Texan Country music with Norteño Mexican rhythms to create a music of resistance and storytelling. Awarded the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures (NALAC) Artist Grant in 2023, as well as Rissi Palmer’s Color Me Country Artist Grant in 2021, Daya has been able to push forward in her artistic journey to represent Latina women in Country music in a way that is genuine and true to who she is. Her influences include Linda Ronstadt, Joan Sebastian, Freddy Fender, Juan Gabriel, George Strait, Bee Gees, and Selena. Her songwriting, both in Spanish and English, reflects her trials in love and life, as well as stories of her community. Her signature accordion playing is symbolic of her Norteño Mexican roots.
Trae Taylor
Trae Tayulor is a Country music singer and songwriter from central Virginia. After serving in the United States Army Trae moved to Nashville to pursue a dream that has turned into a fulltime job. Having gone from jumping out of C-130’s to writing some of the catchiest Country music you could ever hear, Trae has become a fixture on Nashville’s writer’s round scene and also performs with a full band.
The Outsiders Round Hosts:
Skyelor Anderson
Born in Memphis, Skyelor Anderson has been making a name for himself in the Country scene, blending Soul, Gospel, and Country into a sound that’s all his own. A former X Factor contestant, he has opened for major acts like Jamey Johnson, Brothers Osborne, and Jon Pardi, proving he belongs on the biggest stages, holds a residency at Chief’s on Broadway and tours regularly with his band.
Ben Kadlecek
Ben is a Southern Rock/Alternative Country Artist from the Texas Hill Country town of Dripping Springs.  A piano player since the age of seven, Ben&#8217;s unique gift is the fact that he can command the stage behind both a keyboard and a guitar. He treats the craft of songwriting like a puzzle, trying to find the best way to make the pieces fit while weaving a meaningful story throughout the song. His first major cut as a songwriter is one he previously released on his own project &#8220;Brazos County Bound&#8221;.  Amen is the lead single from Nashville recording artist Jacob Bryant&#8217;s 2022 album &#8220;Barstool Preacher&#8221;.  Ben was busy in 2022 with singles &#8220;Ghosts&#8221; released in January and finding its way to BMI&#8217;s Texas Top Ten playlist and &#8220;Tell Me&#8221; landing on Spotify&#8217;s Fresh Finds Country playlist following in February. In August 2023, Ben relocated to Nashville, Tennessee fulltime.  Since moving he has been busy writing and recording new music.  A five song project released in March 2024 followed by a single &#8220;Hell Mary&#8221; in October. 2025 is already looking to be a breakout year for the young singer/songwriter.

<div class="x_elementToProof">Cody Parks and The Dirty South</div>
<div></div>
<div class="x_elementToProof">Cody Parks and The Dirty South aren’t your typical Nashville country band. Founded in 2019 by frontman and songwriter Cody Parks, the band united around his vision of blending his Southern roots with a hard hitting, heavy metal sound. The result? A genre all their own: Country Metal—best described as “Def Leppard on cornbread.”</div>
<div></div>
<div class="x_elementToProof">Drawing inspiration from legends like Mötley Crüe, Ratt, and Pantera, The Dirty South injects heavy riffs and explosive breakdowns into country music, transforming Nashville’s Music Row into a Sunset Strip-worthy phenomenon. Their 2023 EP, Smothered &amp; Covered, turned heads with singles climbing to #2 and #7 on iTunes, earning them a spot in the social media spotlight and growing their Spotify listener base to over 155,000 monthly fans.</div>
<div></div>
<div class="x_elementToProof">Now, with the release of their EP Country Metal, Vol. 1, the band is gearing up to hit the road in 2025, bringing their high-octane sound to a city near you. Crank it up and experience the unstoppable energy of Cody Parks and The Dirty South!</div>
<div></div>
<div class="x_elementToProof">True Villains</div>
<div></div>
<div class="x_elementToProof">True Villains are a rock &amp; roll powerhouse. Fueled by anthemic choruses, percussive punch, amplified riffs, and the larger-than-life vocals of frontman Beau Lastavich, they make hard-hitting music that revitalizes the swagger of their heroes for the modern world.</div>
<div></div>
<div class="x_elementToProof">It&#8217;s a sound that owes its supersized stomp to the collaborative songwriting and road-tested chemistry of True Villains&#8217; five members. Raised across America and headquartered in Nashville, bandmates Tim Venerosa (guitar), Matt Carter (drums), Greg Herndon (keys), Barry Conaway (Bass), Lastavich have paid their dues as a working-class live act, playing four-hour hometown shows multiple times a week. In a town filled with solo artists and country stars, they&#8217;ve become something refreshingly different: a genuine band, rooted in the dark, driving sounds of rock &amp; roll&#8217;s heavyweights from the 1960s, &#8217;70s, and &#8217;80s. Assimilating those familiar influences into a sound that&#8217;s fresh, True Villains have also built their audience the old-school way: gig by gig, song by song, and hook by hook.</div>
<div></div>
<div class="x_elementToProof">It was during one of those hometown shows that the band first caught the attention of Grammy-winning producer Nick Raskulinecz, a modern-rock icon who&#8217;d previously worked with Foo Fighters, Velvet Revolver, Alice in Chains, and others. Impressed with True Villains&#8217; songs, Raskulinecz extended a rare invitation to the group, offering his services as producer and mentor. A partnership bloomed. Before long, True Villains were working with Raskulinecz in his Music Row studio, recording singles like &#8220;The Villain&#8221; with a producer whose enthusiasm for electrified, energized rock matched their own.</div>
<div></div>
<div class="x_elementToProof">Filled with modern-rock muscle, pop hooks, rhythmic breakdowns, guitar heroics, and vocal harmonies, True Villains&#8217; songs salute the influence of a bygone era while updating that sound for a new generation. This isn&#8217;t a nostalgia act. It&#8217;s no retro revival. Instead, it&#8217;s the sound of rock &amp; roll in the 2020s: big, burly, and just the right amount of pissed-off. If you&#8217;ve been worried that rock is dead, look no further. These True Villains are about to be your new heroes.</div>

Maggie Rose hosts candid conversations with her female musical heroes about their lives in and out of music, challenging the status quo, and changing the game for those coming up behind them. August&#8217;s special guest is  S.G. Goodman!
Live podcast taped in front of live audience and live-streamed on Volume.com
Maggie Rose
Hailed for her &#8220;multi-genre talents&#8221; by Billboard and deemed a &#8220;star&#8221; by Rolling Stone, acclaimed singer-songwriter Maggie Rose has released her ambitious new album No One Gets Out Alive. Hearkening back to early &#8217;70s Laurel Canyon, the music deals in both dark and uplifting themes- disillusionment in relationships, ageism, female empowerment and living in the moment, among them, with Maggie&#8217;s big, soulful voice taking center stage. Maggie successfully straddles the worlds of pop, rock, soul, Americana and folk, unencumbered by genre specifics. Recorded with a dream team including members of Jason Isbell&#8217;s 400 Unit, Alabama Shakes and Gregg Allman&#8217;s band, the record was produced by GRAMMY-Award winner Ben Tanner, mixed by Bobby Holland and arranged by conductor Don Hart (Phish, Lyle Lovett). A respected fixture of the Nashville community, Maggie has played the iconic Grand Ole Opry over 100 times and marquee festivals including Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, and Newport Folk Fest. A true road warrior, she has shared the stage with the likes of Kelly Clarkson, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Heart, Joan Jett, Eric Church, Gov&#8217;t Mule, The Mavericks, Fitz &amp; The Tantrums, St. Paul &amp; The Broken Bones and The Revivalists among others.
S.G. Goodman
S.G. Goodman returns from the Western Kentucky bottomland with her third studio album, ‘Planting by the Signs,&#8217; out everywhere on 6/20/25. Her first album in three years, it is a reminder of the Kentucky born and raised singer-songwriter’s razor-sharp lyricism, singular voice and seamless blend of indie rock and subtle rural influences. &#8216;Planting by the Signs&#8217; finds Goodman exploring themes in the only way she knows; with a fresh musical and lyrical perspective, vivid, incisive detail, and a heaping dose of empathy and compassion. Lead single &#8220;<a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/0BqQBhMGK7Wc9MuslsWsUf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fire Sign</a>&#8221; is out now.
S.G. Goodman catapulted onto the scene in 2020 with her debut album <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/157xeDtGxPmnZIQfdJjQFT" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Old Time Feeling</a> – possibly the worst time to emerge, and yet, her talent was undeniable. She immediately garnered attention from NPR, Rolling Stone, and more, and took her show on the road across the world, gaining fans and followers, even landing a fan in <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/13ZEDW6vyBF12HYcZRr4EV" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tyler Childers</a>, who covered her song &#8220;<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4sYhsIGQV2DRzYuTIBSoFN" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Space And Time</a>.&#8221;
In 2022, she released <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/5fXIv2d6FP5hSTYThKREZH" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Teeth Marks</a>, a critical darling that leveled her up, gaining praise from the New York Times, landing her an NPR Tiny Desk, landing on Pitchfork and NPR’s Best Of lists, and earning her the Best Emerging Artist Award at the 2023 Americana Awards. After nearly three years of promotion on the road, Goodman decamped to the Nutt House in Sheffield, AL, in the fall of 2024 to create &#8216;Planting by the Signs,&#8217; her best record to date.

Maggie Rose hosts candid conversations with her female musical heroes about their lives in and out of music. August&#8217;s special guest is S.G. Goodman.

With a nod to the past and a wink to the future from behind their sunglasses, Baltimore&#8217;s The Dirty Grass Players have been pushing the leading edge of bluegrass music since 2015.
As convincing on a 10 minute jam as they are on a 2 minute classic, they find an intersection between progress and tradition that in one set could inspire Flatt &amp; Scruggs to reunite and then break up all over again. With harmonies to please any purist, compositions fresh enough to have been written tomorrow, and improvisations that fearlessly stride to the end of every limb, this band can play as clean as anybody but isn&#8217;t afraid to get a little dirty.
After starting with jams between founders Ben Kolakowski (guitar) and Ryan Rogers (mandolin), DGP quickly made a name in the Baltimore scene before hitting the road. Since then, they&#8217;ve toured the US and Europe and made appearances at festivals like Grey Fox, DelFest, Dark Star Jubilee, ROMP, Bristol Rhythm &amp; Roots, and the Rotterdam Bluegrass Festival. With Connor Murray on bass since 2021 and the addition of Sam Guthridge on banjo in 2024, a reinvigorated lineup is on the road and coming your way.
With two albums and a slew of singles, their latest full-length, “Shiny Side Up”, was produced by Travelin&#8217; McCourys guitarist Cody Kilby and reveals a band probing the possibilities of bluegrass with dark themes and adventurous playing. In its praise of the album, Bluegrass Unlimited says, “Shiny Side Up validates the arrival of the Dirty Grass Players onto the scene and shows bluegrass is in good hands going forward.&#8221; Their first single with the new lineup, a cover of “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” by Jimi Hendrix, reimagines the rock classic with a driving bluegrass arrangement which makes a compelling argument that sometimes looking to the roots is the most inventive approach a band can take.

Daryl Wayne Dasher
A Tennessee based singer/songwriter who brings a fresh and organic approach to Country and Folk Music.

In 2020, Dasher was forced to cancel most of his live shows due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but found a way to keep moving forward during the quarantine. He started playing a livestream show via his Facebook page every week called “Friday Night Quarantunes” and has amassed thousands of views and many new fans because of this.

Join us in The Neon Steeple for the Uncle B&#8217;s Drunk with Power String Band Show featuring Bryan Simpson with Nathan Belt, Leah Blevins, Alex Lambert, Aniston Pate and more!
Uncle B&#8217;s Drunk With Power String Band Show is Bryan Simpson&#8217;s irreverent trippy-trad tent revival of a musical experience currently in residence in the Neon Steeple at Chief&#8217;s on Broadway in Nashville, Tennessee. Aka. the Damned Ole Opry &#8211; the variety show features a wildly talented slew of colorful and creative musicians, singers, and songwriters that tear things down to the stud level all in the way of a grand ole time.
Each month, Uncle B’s honors a legendary record with renditions of classic songs performed on banjos, fiddles and mandolins. It’s hay bales and hell yeahs! Imagine Billy Strings meets Barnum and Bailey. Hee Haw and Half Baked had a baby. It’s best witnessed instead of discussed. Come lay eyes on it.
This Month the Drunk with Power String Band play Tyler Childers’ Purgatory with special guests Leah Blevins, Alex Lambert, Aniston Pate, Nathan Belt and more!
Nathan Belt
Country music traditionalist and Texas native Nathan Belt honed his skills across the North Texas Opry circuit, later moving to Tennessee and becoming a fixture in Nashville’s music scene since the early 2000s after signing his first major publishing deal.  An incredible solo vocalist and also lead singer/frontman of the fan-favorite band Nathan Belt &amp; the Buckles, Nathan can be found sharing his love of traditional, classic Country music in well-known music venues all over Nashville, Robert&#8217;s Western World, The Nashville Palace, Chief&#8217;s on Broadway, Acme Feed &amp; Seed  and Music City Bar &amp; Grill in Music Valley to name a few. He’s currently a featured performer and host on Nashville’s famous General Jackson Showboat, too.  Nathan’s love and respect for classic Country is front and center with his recent singles &#8220;Clean Livin&#8217; Is Killin&#8217; Me&#8221; and &#8220;I Can&#8217;t Stand No More&#8221;. And there&#8217;s a lot more where that came from, with new self-penned music he&#8217;ll be releasing throughout 2025.
Leah Blevins
Imbued with the grit of vintage country music and the grace of gospel, Leah Blevins’ debut album is a scrapbook of sorts, a collage of feelings and memories from a decade spent working in the big city of Nashville while missing the small town she left behind. “It’s a timestamp of my twenties,” says the Sandy Hook, Kentucky, native. “Here are all the stories and all the experiences from that decade. Here are all the mixed emotions I’ve felt about things I’ve gone through and people I’ve met along the way.” First Time Feeling turns tribulations into what Blevins calls “bundles of triumphs,” which lend weight to her well-observed lyrics and gravity to her soulful vocals. “It’s about coming into womanhood, but it’s more than just a coming-of-age story. It’s me discovering that I’m capable of writing a song on my own. I’m capable of staying sober. I’m capable of all these things that once felt so far out of reach. Within those walls these songs had to be unapologetically honest.”
Solon Holt
<div class="elementToProof">From red brick streets to red dirt roads, Solon Holt began his musical journey at a young age in the Piney Woods of East Texas. As the youngest of four boys in a family with a rich musical heritage, Solon was determined to make his mark musically from a very early age. His exposure to musical genres of all types was vast, including classical, blues, jazz, folk, pop, traditional country, and bluegrass; however, it was his experience as a teen in an all-black church playing gospel music every Sunday that helped curate his soulful sound.</div>
<div class="elementToProof">During his freshman year at the University of Mississippi, Solon was quickly recognized for his abilities as a vocalist and guitar player, as well as his ability to command a crowd. It was at this time that Solon was first noticed by a major record label, with contract negotiations tabled in order to allow him time to write and further develop his sound.</div>
<div></div>
<div class="elementToProof">To this end, Solon moved to Nashville during the summer following his freshman year, and has been enthusiastically received by the Nashville community. Weaving together his passion for bluegrass with the soulful spirit of gospel, Solon has brought his intense and unreserved sound to the world of country and Americana music. His “home away from home” sits within the walls of Universal Music Publishing Group writing and producing music alongside some of Nashville’s greatest songwriters.</div>
Aniston Pate
Aniston Pate is an American Country Singer/Songwriter, born and raised in Dalhart, TX. She is currently pursuing artistry and songwriting while attending Belmont University. She finds inspiration in Texas red dirt country artists like Wade Bowen &amp; Randy Rogers as well as women like Miranda Lambert and Lainey Wilson. Since moving to Nashville she has frequented popular writer’s rounds, played rowdy downtown shows, and written with some of Nashville’s best songwriters on music row. Aniston’s music is natural, honest, and about real life. She will tug on your heart strings one minute and have you wanting to two-step the next! When listening you&#8217;ll find a mix of honest lyrics and a real and raw sound.
Bryan Simpson
Modern American eclectic singer-songwriter Bryan Simpson is an artist whose sound unnervingly explores an evocative amalgamation of southern folk, bluegrass, classic country and indie eclecticism, with the playful swagger, relatable storytelling, and thoughtful introspection of his heroes which include John Hartford, Tom T Hall, Jeff Tweedy, and of course Bob Dylan.
Bryan’s songs have netted praise from all corners: The Huffington Post wrote “Bryan’s original undertakings are reminiscent of the whimsical and whip-smart work by David Byrne and Jim James”. While SeattlePi claims Simpson’s music echoes “Bowie, and Beck in the melodies, moods, and arrangements. The quest is entertaining and thought-provoking.” His genre-spanning career has included making records and touring as a singer/songwriter with luminaries as diverse as The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, bluegrass giant Ricky Skaggs and Mumford and Sons. Since leaving his hometown of Ft Worth Texas with only a fiddle, guitar, mandolin and a box fan to his name, Simpson has had many of his original songs recorded by country music standouts like Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Hailey Whitters, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Brandy Clark, Old Dominion, Stephen Wilson Jr., with several of them ending up with a number 1 beside their name on the Billboard and Music Row charts . He has also been awarded NSAI’s prestigious award of “10 Songs I wish I’d Written”. His songs have easily totaled over 500 million streams at this point.
This year Simpson released his first record under his own name. “The Oldest”, released in April, is a concise 11 songs in length, produced by Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan/Brandi Carlisle) and takes Simpson’s shade tree kaleidoscopic storytelling center stage.
