WHAT IT IS: With gritty, grizzled vocals, brazen songwriting talent and one hell of a live show, this 27-year-old Asheville, North Carolina, native stormed onto the country music landscape as a force to be reckoned with. Named a “2017 Artist To Watch” by Amazon Music, Bobby Bones, CMT, Huffington Post, Nashville Lifestyles, Pandora and Rolling Stone, he is set to release his debut album, This One’s For You, this summer. His debut smash radio single, “Hurricane,” amassed a staggering 44m streams and is quickly becoming a staple anthem for country fans. After time at Appalachian State, this true road warrior built his avid fanbase, delivering more than 200 rowdy, hold-nothing-back shows per year. By the time he followed his calling to Nashville, he had an army of fans behind him, three self-released EPs and a set list full of songs that are true, authentic and platform his signature modern-throwback sound.
