ABOUT DAN SMALLEY: Dan Smalley may just now be making a name for himself, but he already sings with the voice of experience. And he’s got the bullet scars to prove it. The Alaska native who came of age in Shreveport, Louisiana, sings his confessional, soul-baring songs with deep conviction. Smalley expresses a fresh take on Country music that knows tradition, inspired by the greats of the genre and infused with the swampy sounds of his roots, the Gospel of hardwood church pews and the impassioned delivery of R&B.
Artists like Merle Haggard, Ray Charles, Al Green and Willie Nelson provided a musical roadmap for Smalley to follow, and the against-the-grain success of Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell and Sturgill Simpson drew him to Nashville. There, he began working with producer Keith Stegall, known for his award-winning work with greats like Alan Jackson, George Jones and Zac Brown Band.
Ashley McBryde (Grammy Nominated album “Never Will”), Randall King, Trace Adkins, Ray Fultcher, and Dillon Carmichael have included his songs on their recent albums, and Smalley joined her(McBryde) on the road for select dates this past Spring(2021) to begin a busy summer.
Smalley has joined bills alongside Nelson, Tim McGraw, Justin Moore, Dwight Yoakam and a list of notable others.IF I’M BEING HONEST, Smalley’s debut EP, draws candidly on his life story to deliver compelling tales of persistence, love and redemption.

Chris Gelbuda is a music maker, in all forms. As a kid, he was a Suzuki trained concert pianist. As an adolescent, he fronted blues and classic rock cover bands. In college, he fronted jam bands.

It’s not necessarily the song, it’s the story. That’s how Nashville-based singer-songwriter Chris Canterbury has always approached songwriting.
Born and raised in North Louisiana, Chris began writing songs and stories about life from a unique but oddly-familiar point of view. Songs about liquor stores, truck stops, low-rent motels, and the grifters and transients that frequent them. He takes a critical look at some of the topics that often get discarded in the writing room, and he presents them as though they’re a casual kitchen conversation.
Chris has toured the country for the last 2 decades, sharing the stage with the likes of Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Chris Knight, and many others. It doesn’t matter if it’s a pool hall or a theater, a festival or a front porch, Chris’s live sound is the whiskey-laden narrative that anyone with a struggle can relate to.

Country singer/songwriter Charlie Berry seemed to have had a running start when he arrived as a solo artist in 2021, but his impact is anything but a coincidence. Berry spent the last decade fronting bands and laboring over his signature storytelling and truth revealing style of songwriting. Along the way he discovered a knack for translating those songs to tape as a producer and multi-instrumentalist in the recording studio.
After years of developing his craft, Charlie Berry stands at the precipice of something altogether new. Discover the culmination of his efforts in his latest release “Something About Airports”. : https://www.charlieberrymusic.com/

BIO
Caught in a battle between the southern blues man in his soul and the country gentleman his momma raised him to be, the two worlds collide on Charlie Argo's sleeve, where the babyfaced crooner wears his heart.
