Casey Chestnutt
Casey, the son of &#8220;Too Cold At Home&#8221; singer Mark Chesnutt, grew up surrounded by &#8217;90s country. By the time he was a teenager, Casey started to develop his own diverse taste in music and dug into the Texas Red Dirt scene. As he got older, he started trying to write similar songs. But his artistic point of view confused those in his inner circle. His dad is a nationally known country artist, and Texas Red Dirt is niche with limited reach. After Casey finished his time in the Marine Corps, he intensely focused on his music and chasing his creative dreams. He knew his songs wouldn&#8217;t work in mainstream country because people heard his last name and expected a &#8217;90s country sound. He unsuccessfully tried to write &#8217;90s country music, but one of his friends penned a song called &#8220;Even Texas Couldn&#8217;t Hold Her&#8221; that he thought would resonate with &#8217;90s country fans. Casey recorded it, and the result toed the line of the music he wanted to make and what people expected to hear from him. After that, the young singer felt more comfortable recording and promoting his own music. He recorded an entire album in his hotel room and self-released it, still trying to steer clear of the Nashville sound. Casey&#8217;s new record label sent him some songs he feels passionate about and believes will showcase who he is as an artist. Look for new music from Casey Chesnutt on Clearwater Records in 2025.

Jamie O&#8217;Neal
A Platinum-selling country singer and hit songwriter who became a household name in 2001 with back-to-back # 1 singles, &#8220;There Is No Arizona&#8221; and &#8220;When I Think About Angels.&#8221; With multiple hits including top #20 “Shiver,&#8221; #15 “Trying To Find Atlantis&#8221; and #3 &#8220;Somebody&#8217;s Hero” plus another 8 Top 40 hits that followed, Jamie’s career caught fire. She earned numerous career accolades (including 4 Grammy nominations), winning ACM and Billboard Awards and appeared on The Tonight Show and Dave Letterman. While she has penned most of her songs, Jamie has also written songs for such notable artists as Reba McEntire, Martina McBride, LeAnn Rimes, Cece Winans, Idina Menzel, and toured alongside Reba, Keith Urban and Kenny Chesney. Her voice can be heard in major motion picture soundtracks including “All By Myself” for Bridget Jones&#8217;s Diary and We Were Soldiers. She was also picked to perform with Carrie Underwood when she needed the perfect partner for CMTs 100 Greatest Duets with “Does He Love You.”
Emily West
A multifaceted artist known for her powerful voice, sharp intuition, and passion for authentic connection through story and song. Emily blends emotional intelligence with artistry to create transformative experiences. Whether through live performance, writing, or digital presence, Emily cultivates spaces where vulnerability is strength and self-expression is celebrated. She is devoted to growth, impact, and inspiring others to own their voice with confidence and clarity.
Originally from Waterloo Iowa, Emily moved to Nashville at age 18. Just two weeks later, she was signed to Warner Chappell by Tim Wipperman and Michael Knox. In 2003, she signed a record deal with Capitol Records and gained national attention with “Blue Sky,” a heartfelt ballad she co-wrote with Hall of Fame songwriter Gary Burr. The track featured a duet with Keith Urban and became one of her early career highlights.
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.
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. Her haunting renditions of “Nights in White Satin” (The Moody Blues), “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” (Roberta Flack), and “Chandelier” (Sia) captivated the judges—especially Howard Stern—and the nation. Emily ultimately finished as runner-up in the competition.
Following AGT, she toured with Jay Leno, opening his shows with her one-woman blend of songs, stories, and comedy. In 2017, she signed with Sony Masterworks and released All For You, an album featuring both original material and standout performances from her time on television.
Emily’s songwriting continues to resonate with artists and fans alike. “American Actress,” one of her original compositions, was recorded by Sam Williams—son of Hank Williams Jr. and grandson of country legend Hank Williams—for his debut album.
As an independent artist, Emily remains creatively active. She collaborated with Grammy Award-winning producer Daniel Tashian on the EP Symphonies, and co-produced her album Dear Diary with Leroy Powell of Whiskey Wolves of the West.
A seasoned performer, Emily has graced the stage of the Grand Ole Opry 79 times, a testament to her enduring artistry and presence in American music. Through it all, Emily continues to nourish both her wounds and her wonder through the power of storytelling. As she says: “It’s just the beginning—always.”
Sarah Buxton
Born and raised in Kansas, Sarah Buxton’s upbringing in small town America helped her hone her storytelling skills that lead her to become one of Nashville’s top female songwriters. Sarah moved to Nashville to attend Belmont University. While she was there, she formed a southern rock &amp; jam band that took her out on the road touring the Southeast, giving her the performance bug.
As she was on the road, Sarah began to write more and signed her first publishing deal with Song Planet in 2000. This deal led her to work with songwriter Craig Wiseman and producer Dann Huff, who would go on to help produce some of her first album. The collaboration of Buxton, Wiseman and Huff ultimately led her to sign with Lyric Street Records in 2004.
While Sarah was working on choosing songs for her first album, Keith Urban heard the song “Stupid Boy” that she co-wrote with Dave Berg and Deanna Bryant. He fell in love with the song and decided to record it and put it out on his “Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing” album. The song was released as a single in 2006 and landed at #3 on the country charts. It garnered a CMA nomination for Song of the Year in 2007 and later went on to win a Grammy for Best Male Country performance in 2008 for Urban.
Because of her unique vocal abilities, Sarah was enlisted as a guest background vocalist on several major artists&#8217; records including Keith Urban, Dierks Bentley, Martina McBride and Kenny Rogers. In 2007, she released her “Almost My Record – EP” which included her debut single “Innocence.” Another song off her EP, “Love Is A Trip,” was used in the ABC TV show ‘Men In Trees.’
The Academy of Country Music took notice of Sarah’s artistry, nominating her for the Top New Female Vocalist in 2008 and 2009. In 2010, Lyric Street Records released Sarah’s self-titled full- length album that included the singles “Outside My Window,” “Space” and “That Kind Of Day.” The same year, Keith Urban released another song that Sarah co-wrote with Jedd Hughes and Urban, “Put You In A Song” that hit #2 on the Country charts.
Since the folding of Lyric Street Records, Sarah has concentrated on her writing. She has had songs cut and released by several acts including Jim Brickman’s “Never Alone,” Big &amp; Rich’s “That’s Why I Pray,” Gary Allan’s “Pieces” and most recently The Band Perry’s radio hit, “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely.” Sarah’s most recent singles as a songwriter include “Reckless” by Martina McBride, “Prize Fighter,” a power duet between Trisha Yearwood and Kelly Clarkson and “For Her” by Chris Lane. Florida Georgia Line’s “Sun Daze” and Chris Lane’s “Fix” went on to top the charts at #1!
Sarah’s past came around in 2012 when she began to work with co-writer Craig Wiseman’s publishing company Big Loud Shirt. In the short time that she’s been at Big Loud Shirt, she’s had songs cut by Sara Evans, Lady A, Martina McBride, Blake Shelton, Gary Allan and Mason Ramsey, etc. Many of Sarah’s songs have been featured on ABC’s TV series Nashville, including “Nothin In This World Will Ever Break My Heart Again,” “Yellin’ From The Rooftop,” “Loving You Is The Only Way To Fly,” “It’s My Life,” “Stronger Than Me” and “Heart On Fire.”
As a popular guest vocalist, Sarah received an Academy of Country Music nomination for Vocal Event of the Year in 2013 with David Nail’s “Let It Rain.” She most recently sang on Miranda Lambert’s 2014 release, “Platinum” and the sophomore album for Florida Georgia Line album, “Anything Goes.”

Kat Higgins
Kat Higgins’ earliest memories include recording cassette tapes to send to her Granny Higgins in Ireland when she was four years old.  She and her six siblings would sing traditional Irish songs and pretend they were on a radio show.  Fifteen years later, she and two of those siblings were on the radio.
The Vancouver, Canada native was part of The Higgins family band that toured Canada, hit the top 15 on Canadian radio and was nominated for CCMA Group of the Year in 2008 and 2009.  Kat is thankful for those years of touring and recording with her family because it built her confidence on stage and honed her skills in the studio.  “I was always the analytical nerd in the group” she remembers. “I thought I was nuts to be staying up until four in the morning in the studio, editing tracks and re-singing vocals.”
After moving to Nashville in 2012, she brought that same dedication to her songwriting. “I got to write with some of my heroes and I learned so much about how to communicate through songs,” Kat explains.  Kat is still inspired by the music she grew up on. “A huge part of my songwriting is inspired by Celtic music, that hasn’t really changed, but what I’m writing about has.”
Now a BMG published songwriter, Kat’s songs have been recorded by Kenny Chesney (“Knowing You”), Carrie Underwood (“Mexico”), The Lone Bellow (“Illegal Immigrant”), and many others.

Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Enrique Iglesias, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum, Willie Nelson, Kelly Pickler, Alabama, Reba McEntire, Gloriana, Runaway June, Martina McBride, Chris Brown, Chris Young and a host of others have all recorded his songs. His Grammy nominations include Jamey Johnson&#8217;s &#8220;The High Cost of Living,” Country Song of the Year, and Martina&#8217;s “In My Daughter’s Eyes,” which has become a modern day standard.
James wrote Keith Urban’s hit single, “God Whispered Your Name,” and Tim McGraw’s “God Moves The Pen,” Kenny Chesney’s “Wasted” and “Guys Named Captain,”  as well as new songs on Old Dominion and Hootie and the Blowfish albums and Warner Brother’s Shy Carter’s first single, “Good Love. “
James calls Nashville home. James lived in Zurich Switzerland for six years touring, and recording with Belgian super group Vaya Con Dios and has traveled the world from Panama to Dublin, from Spain to Havana. James’ “Key West Address&#8221; is a love letter to the island, so much so that the mayor of Key West has awarded James the &#8220;keys to the city&#8221; and proclaimed the song &#8220;Key West Address&#8221; the island&#8217;s official theme.
James&#8217; latest solo album, Famous In Key West, features songs recorded at Jimmy Buffett’s Legendary Shrimp Boat Studios.

This Month Uncle B and the band present a tribute to J.D. Crowe &amp; the New South!
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.
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.
Ronnie Bowman
From the tender age of three, Ronnie Bowman has been performing music. Starting in a family band playing churches in North Carolina and Virginia, he eventually joined the acclaimed Bluegrass band The Lost &amp; Found. Shortly after Ronnie joined The Lonesome River Band, and became a participant in the band’s recording of Carrying the Tradition, which was ultimately named International Bluegrass Music Association’s (IBMA) Album of the Year in 1991.
​It wasn&#8217;t long before Ronnie Bowman became a household name in the Bluegrass community. With the release of an additional four albums as a member of the Lonesome River Band, Ronnie also recorded four solo projects. He has been awarded IBMA Male Vocalist of the Year three times, has twice earned the IBMA Song of the Year award and was awarded the Gospel Performance of the Year award for &#8220;Three Rusty Nails&#8221;.  As a songwriter Ronnie has earned a great deal of respect not only among Bluegrass professionals, but also in Country Music. Both Brooks &amp; Dunn, and Kenny Chesney have brought Ronnie Bowman originals to #1, and Lee Ann Womack also included a song by Ronnie on the multi-platinum selling album &#8220;I Hope You Dance&#8221;.
​He has seen continued songwriting success with three songs on Chris Stapleton&#8217;s multi-platinum selling album, Traveller.  The single &#8220;Nobody To Blame&#8221; won Ronnie the ACM &#8220;Song of the Year,” while the album received the ACM and CMA &#8220;Album of the Year&#8221; award as well as a Grammy for &#8220;Country Album of the Year&#8221;.
As a vocalist, Ronnie has recorded with various artists including, Alan Jackson, Alison Krauss, Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs, Lee Ann Womack, Del McCoury, Chris Stapleton, and John Fogerty to name a few. When Ronnie’s not on the road performing, he resides in Nashville,TN where he’s still writing songs and living the life.
Will Jones
Will Jones, raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains, blends Appalachian soul with outlaw grit. His sound merges bluegrass storytelling with a highway-worn edge, inspired by legends ranging from Keith Whitley to Tony Rice while forging his own path in country music. A masterful guitarist and songwriter, Will has shared stages with Jon Pardi, Ralph Stanley, and Chris Thile. His music pulses with raw emotion, sharp picking, and Celtic-inspired melodies — steeped in tradition yet wild, free, and unpredictable.
Seth Mulder
Seth Mulder is a mandolinist, vocalist, and songwriter whose work bridges the spirit of traditional bluegrass with the energy of a modern performer. A North Dakota native, Seth brings a deep appreciation for the roots of American music to everything he does. As the frontman of Seth Mulder &amp; Midnight Run, he has become a driving force in contemporary bluegrass—delivering authenticity, heart, and high-octane musicianship to stages across the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
A graduate of the Kentucky School of Bluegrass and Traditional Music, Seth studied under legends like Bobby Osborne and Curtis Burch, grounding his musical foundation in the traditions of the genre. Since forming Midnight Run in 2018, he’s led the band in developing a sound that honors the past while embracing the future.
Whether he’s writing, performing, or leading a late-night jam, Seth Mulder continues to craft songs and performances that speak to the heart of bluegrass—rooted in tradition, driven by passion, and built to last.

We are so excited to continue a “Nashville tradition” at Chief’s with these special nights of live music, stories and songs featuring some of our favorite music makers in town!

Buddy's Place w/ Nick Fabian, Mallory Johnson, Dakota Striplin | Chief's on Broadway

Brassfield is a Country vocal trio based in Nashville consisting of brothers Bradley and Chadley Brassfield, and Chadley’s wife, Jessie Rose Brassfield. It’s a family affair for sure that makes for airtight three-part harmonies and a stellar vocal blend.
Musical roots run deep for all of them. The brothers were born in Tupelo, Mississippi, where music is certainly a way of life. In the Brassfield bloodline, being a great singer is commonplace and the boys are no exception to this phenomenon. Growing up, they toured the southern US playing and singing in churches, fell in love with being on stage, and knew that they wanted to continue their career together in Nashville. That’s where they met Jessie Rose.
Born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky, Jessie has spent her whole life in a musical bubble. She’s been a happy student of music from the start and the love and curiosity spreads across all genres. She’s been singing, playing piano, and writing songs for as long as she can remember. Jessie comes from a long line of professional singers/musicians/writers, her dad being JP Pennington of the country hit-making group Exile.
Following in his footsteps, she moved to Nashville to pursue country music, met the boys, the stars aligned, and two very important things happened. Jessie and Chadley fell in love, and the trio discovered that their three unique voices came together to form a killer vocal blend.
The rest is history. This in-demand trio performs all the time, sometimes 7 days a week. They are the house band for The Opry Backstage Grill, where they host a hit songwriters night that has put them on the stage with many of country music’s most prolific songwriters. All three members of BRASSFIELD are songwriters themselves and are excited to be in the studio, recording a full length album of songs that truly represent their distinctive artistry.

A Very Merry Brassfield Christmas | Chief's on Broadway

Come celebrate a night in tribute to the King of Country, George Straight and Shelby Lee Lowe’s new single, “KIng For A Day.”
Shelby Lee Lowe
Born and bred in the heart of Tennessee, Shelby Lee Lowe is redefining what country music can be. Shelby’s sound is a modern fusion of neo-traditional country, Bakersfield grit, and indie rock flair. With a degree in music business from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), Shelby made his mark early by tapping into his deep homegrown roots, signing his first publishing deal in 2016 with Banner Music in Nashville. Since then, he has been mastering his craft and his global reach as a full-time songwriter and performer, captivating audiences with powerful vocals and emotionally charged performances.
Shelby’s decades-long journey in the music industry has earned him a loyal following and millions of streams on his debut album Stubborn Heart. His trend continues with his audience today. When Shelby’s on stage at packed honky-tonks or deeply immersed in intimate acoustic settings, his conviction and artistry bring passion to prove he&#8217;s a force to be experienced in the rebirth of traditional country music. His songwriting taps into the raw, authentic spirit of country legends like Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings, delivering the lyrical edge that speaks to vast audiences in ways we haven’t seen for decades.

 Skyelor Anderson
Skyelor Anderson is a singer-songwriter who is making a name for himself on the Country Music circuit. Born on November 22, 1994 in Memphis, TN, Skyelor began singing in church as a young child and knew by the age of 14 that music would play a huge part of his life. However, it wasn&#8217;t until 2011, when he won 1st place in his high school talent show, &#8220;Southaven Idol&#8221;, that he realized that music would be his entire life. His first real taste at performing in front of a large crowd was on the 1st season of the XFactor (USA edition) where during his initial audition, his music stopped playing almost immediately. Skyelor never missed a beat. He placed in the top 8 of the men’s division. Skyelor has since then dedicated his life to being a full time artist. From playing in small bars in his hometown to playing CMA Fest two years in a row. He has opened up for numerous country artists, including Jamey Johnson, Brothers Osbourne, Craig Morgan, Jon Pardi, Trace Adkins, and many more. Although he enjoys playing on the stage, he also enjoys writing songs, sharing co-writes with hit-makers like Josh Miller, Craig Campbell, Styles Haury, Chris Sligh, Mary Kutter, and others.
With this mix of Soul, Gospel, and Country Music, and whether it be acoustic or full band, Skyelor has a reputation in Nashville as both an electric showman and a heartfelt singer.

 Cody Atkins
With a sound and style of Merle Haggard, George Jones, Keith Whitley and alike,  Cody Atkins puts new life into old school Country music.  The Newport, Virginia-native, moved to Nashville in 2013 after studying music at East Tennessee University and  has been performing ever since.
Atkins began playing guitar at the age of 10, inspired by his uncle Gene Atkins, an accomplished guitar player. Cody discovered the greats like Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Vern Gosdin, George Jones, Don Williams, Keith Whitley, Randy Travis and Alan Jackson, all the while  honing his craft as a guitar player and singer.
Cody performs in clubs and venues around Nashville as well as on the road. When not performing live he write songs with some of Music City’s to hit songwriters.

</ul>
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. A true artist’s artist USA Today calls Paslay “flat out-brilliant” and American Songwriter names him an influencer of Country music.

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.

In 2015 ERLAND caught the ear of Songs Publishing (now Kobalt) prompting his first move to Nashville. In typical songwriter fashion he had to find odd jobs to stay afloat while chasing the dream. &#8220;I was selling honey on the side of the road during the day. It was the only job I could find where I could bring my guitar and write at the same time. &#8221;

Wilderness. He has also opened for The White Buffalo, HAIM, ALO, Rocco Deluca, and

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

 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

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.

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.

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.

From humble beginnings in rural South Carolina to country stardom with hits like Break Down Here, Julie Roberts has returned with Ain’t in No Hurry—a powerful, career-defining album that blends soul, roots, and resilience in her most authentic voice yet.
