The double Grammy®, multiple CMA Awards nominees and ACM New Vocal Group of the Year winners have sought to reintroduce the Western plains, Laurel Canyon-cum-Bakersfield and Lone Star juke joints to Country music since coming together at a friend’s wedding over common influences and the need for a return to this sort of post-Urban Cowboy Country. For Mark Wystrach (lead singer and guitarist), Cameron Duddy (bassist and vocalist) and Jess Carson (lead guitarist and vocalist), the 5X PLATINUM hit “Drinkin’ Problem” set the stage for their critically acclaimed debut album, gold certified On The Rocks. Three further albums Let It Roll, The Last Resort Greetings From and Barely Blue (Big Machine Records) consolidated the band’s reputation and continued to unite classic country fans, hipsters and media including Entertainment Weekly, GQ, The Washington Post, Vogue, Esquire, Variety, Rolling Stone Country, NPR, The Times, Daily Telegraph, Classic Rock Magazin, GoodTimes and AUDIO.
Their latest album Barely Blue is an eight-track exploration of loneliness, masculinity, and resilience in the face of heartache. Evoking near-empty bars and heat waves shimmering across the blacktop, the new album brings to life the generosity of spirit required to love, lose, and move on. Recorded with 9x GRAMMY winner Dave Cobb, the album features hits including “Old Fashioned Feeling”, “Lucky Sometimes” and “Vegas”.

Most recently, the band teamed up with Mackenzie Carpenter for a brand new charming and flirtatious duet “I Wish You Would”, available to stream/download worldwide now.
Based in Dripping Springs, Texas, the trio of songwriters who developed their sound at Tornillo, Texas’ storied Sonic Ranch, have been building a following that has sold-out the Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show, packed a multiple-night stand at Ft. Worth’s iconic Billy Bob’s, re-opened North Hollywood’s legendary Palomino Club for one night only, headlined Europe’s Country To Country Festival and played capacity headline shows across the UK. Bringing listeners a resurgence of their thick harmonies, sad melodies, sharp lyrics, and steel guitar, the retro-Nuevo trio has grown from bar band to an in-demand headliner who has even put together their own cruise that set sail April 2024.
