Artists
Doc Lewis
A conversation with Brad Lewis will leave you firmly aware that he is a proud native Texan. Raised in the rural North Texas community of Kamay, his mother spun records in their modest home. This was the spark that ignited his musical fire. His greatest musical influence came from listening to the likes of Merle Haggard. His musical flair and song writing approach have also been shaped by Regional Texas Country and Red Dirt artists. Brad offers his listeners a heartfelt, genuine work that strikes a chord with them on a personal level. His ability to paint a picture through his music and lyrics allows the listener to experience the song as they digest the pairing of the vocals and instrumentation.
Zach Henard
Zach Henard is a songwriter from Waverly, Tennessee. He discovered he had a knack for it about 8 years ago, was hooked, and has been actively writing/co-writing in Nashville for the last seven years. In a short amount of time he has cultivated a talented circle of co-writers and artists he creates with. He mainly writes traditional country, americana, and southern rock. He’s had several independent artist cuts and many more to come with up and coming artists he’s currently writing with.
Hal ODell
Hal ODell has been a full time songwriter in Nashville since 2018. His songwriting covers the full range of country music, but his passion is for Roots/Neotraditional country. In just a few years, he has cultivated a circle of talented co writers, as well as numerous gifted artists with whom he writes. A song Hal co wrote, “More Than Just A Girl”, was chosen as the SongTown 2022 Country Song of the Year.
Hal ODell was born in Alabama, but spent much of his life in Kansas and Oklahoma. His musical influences always ran to singer/songwriters like Neil Young, Jackson Browne, Townes Van Zandt and Steve Earle. In 2015, he moved from Oklahoma to Park City, Utah, to chase music, mountains and snow. Hal was fortunate enough to end up as frontman and guitarist for Snyderville Electric Band. The band released one album, Kings Of Hard Weather; Hal wrote the bulk of the lyrics and helped compose and arrange the songs. And in the process fell in love with songwriting!
Ben Jarrell
Ben Jarrell was born in Dothan, Alabama. He was raised on its outskirts in the kind of country where roads cut unexpectedly through fields – paths created over time that only the locals know – where lightning bugs seem to hang in the air, Spanish Moss flourishes, and where everyone really does know your name (that way they know exactly who to go if you get into trouble).
If you were to write out the story of Jarrell’s journey from then until now, it would read like the content of a country song - a damn good one, too, complete with the well-worn themes of love, loss, and redemption.
Perhaps that’s why Jarrell’s musical leanings have always skewed towards country music and the legends who helped build and uphold the traditions of the genre; from George Jones, Johnny Paycheck, and John Prine to The Allman Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd to contemporary acts like Blackberry Smoke and The Steeldrivers.
Jarrell studied these songwriters, these bands, their records. He took what he learned and he applied it well. He created his first band. Then another. And another. He kept going until he got it right. He spun well-told stories in tightly wrapped chords. He toiled and tinkered and gave us a self-titled acoustic EP in 2018. That was followed by his full-length record, “Troubled Times” in 2019 – recorded with an all-star band at Southern Ground in Nashville, TN. The record inspired one reviewer to pose the question: “Hot damn son! Wondering where the hell all the hard-charging, kick-ass, phased guitar and pedal steel-filled . . . country music has gone in 2019, and without skimping on the songwriting…? Well, it all seems to have been sucked up and put to good use by Alabama native Ben Jarrell … and it’s one hell of a ride boys and girls.”
Then came 2021’s “Up and Headed West,” recorded in his home state of Alabama at the Alabama Sound Company. A record full of lyric-driven ballads and bangers with plenty of pedal steel to go around. A record that seems to be a weigh station of sorts on the road toward Jarrell’s current project. One that finds him firmly in the driver’s seat. He’s taking us into new territory as he recounts his time away from home; a night in Oklahoma, a drive to Mobile, hard choices, hard drinking, the hotels, and all of the people in the honky tonks and taverns both across the US and across his whole life. There is love, there is loss and there is redemption coming through the speakers for the entire ride.
