WHAT IT IS: The Nashville-bred four-piece delivers a fresh fusion of classic sounds as a hybrid of Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers, Black Crowes and Exile-era Rolling Stones, wrapped in a modern-country context. First single “Smoke” made Country Aircheck history as the highest debut for a new artist’s first single. 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 foursome as the Best Up-and-Comer at 2014’s Austin City Limits and USA Today named them one of 2015’s Artists to Watch. The band was also recently nominated for a CMT Music Award for Group Video of the Year.
