Artists
Gabe Lee
Equal parts classic songwriter and modern-day storyteller, Gabe Lee has built his own bridge between country, folk and rock. Lee has been collecting stories for years, both onstage and off. "I used to bartend," says the Nashville-based songwriter, "which means I was also a cheap therapist for whomever happened to be sitting on the barstool. Whether they were there to celebrate or drink away their problems, I heard about whatever they were going through. It was my job to have that face-to-face interaction—that connection. Being a full-time musician isn't much different."
With critically-acclaimed albums like 2019's farmland, 2020's Honky-Tonk Hell, and 2022's The Hometown Kid, Lee created that connection by delivering his own stories to an ever-growing audience. His fourth record, Drink the River, takes a different approach. This time, Lee isn't offering listeners a peek into his internal world; he's holding up a mirror to reflect their own.
Storytelling has been an anchor of Lee's music since the very beginning. Raised by Taiwanese parents in Nashville, TN, he left home during his teenage years and headed to Indiana, where he obtained college degrees in literature and journalism. Lee launched his career as a genre-bending musician after returning to Tennessee, quickly progressing from dive bar gigs to high-profile opening slots (including shows with Jason Isbell, Los Lobos, Molly Tuttle, and other artists who, like him, blurred the lines between roots-rock, country, and other forms of American folk music) to his own headlining shows. Throughout it all, he drew upon the narrative skills he'd sharpened as a student. If albums like Honky-Tonk Hell and The Hometown Kid often unfolded like autobiographical entries from his road journal, then Drink the River shows an even broader range of his storytelling abilities. Lee isn't just writing songs about himself; he's writing songs about all of us. And maybe, in doing so, he can bring us a little closer together
Sophie Gault
Sophie Gault is a timeless musician for the modern age — a singer/songwriter, storyteller, and guitarist whose music finds a balance between amplified Americana and rootsy folk. Drawing upon influences like Neil Young, Bonnie Raitt, John Mayer, Neko Case, Ryan Adams, and the Rolling Stones, Sophie and the Broken Things finds Gault taking stock of the present, the path that brought her to Nashville, and the memories she picked up along the way. It’s an EP of original music, rooted in confident guitar playing, Gault’s unforced vocals, autobiographical lyrics, and light touches of B3 organ, upright piano, and some beautifully subtle glockenspiel. At the center of that sound, though, is Gault herself: a small-town native with a big sound and an even bigger future, making sense of the world around her through song.
Zach Meadows
From Florida to Nashville by way of the Carolinas, Zach Meadows’ music is rooted in a passionfor personal, expressive songwriting and a penchant for weaving experiences into something greater. Grounded in the Americana tradition, Meadows’ stories make for a compelling miscellany of love, loss and everything in between. With his soulful, resonant voice, Meadows’ music is grounded in authenticity; as he puts it,“My songs are a reflection of me, and my music is always evolving with me.” Meadows’ steadfast commitment to songwriting is at the heart of his sound, grounded in a desire to “not write a song for the sake of writing a song, but to tell astory.” From listening rooms in Nashville to venues across the country, Meadows’ ability to move crowds with his poignant, introspective art is a Hallmark of what’s to come in his career.
