WHAT IT IS: The Nashville-based four-piece provides a fresh fusion of classic sounds—a hybrid of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Black Crowes and Exile on Main Street-era Rolling Stones, wrapped up in a modern-country context. Their first single is already making Country Aircheck history as the highest debut for a new artist’s first single. It’s currently #19 on the iTunes Country chart. With Michael Hobby leading vocals, Bill Satcher and Zach Brown on guitar and Graham Deloach on bass, the band initially gained momentum playing clubs across the South. Rolling Stone Country hailed the group as the Best Up-and-Comer at 2014’s Austin City Limits, and USA Today named them one of 2015’s Artists to Watch.
