"Fairground Saints have created something unique in country music, a sound that reflects their west coast leanings that is harmony-driven, adventurous, and carefree with intricate vocals, thoughtful songwriting, and solid musicianship," said Sony Nashville Chairman & CEO Randy Goodman. "With The Orchard partnership, we are in a great position to focus our individual resources on identifying and cultivating opportunities to advance the band and their growing fan base on a bigger scale. And with 'Somewhere Down The Line,' we are off to a very good start."

Pictured in the front row from left to right are The Orchard GM Jessica Phelps-Colvin, FS' Elijah Edwards, Mason Van Valin and Meg McAllister, and Goodman.
