Senora May is a proud Appalachian living in Estill County, who recently debut with her release “Lainhart.”  The album showcases her songwriting style of storytelling through living and loving in Appalachia.

Jericho Woods are from Breckinridge County with a mix of bluegrass, honky tonk, and a touch of rock in their sound.  They have been named Kentucky Living magazine’s Kentucky musician of the year and have been performing at Wildhorse Saloon, Austin City Saloon, and more throughout Kentucky.

James Sayne is a native of Chandlers, Kentucky, and recently released a self-titled EP.  He and his band, the Shoeshine Boys, have musical tastes along the likes of John Prine, Hank Williams, and Townes Van Zandt.

Timmy Dunn just released his new single, “Kentucky Grown,” that contains his own flare of country, blues, and rock into his songs. The Henderson native has been making a name for himself with his music and concerts.

Bullitt County natives, Everette, is a new duo to be on the lookout for.  They recently signed with Broken Bow Records and have been working on getting their music out to radio stations across the United States.  And yes, the duo got their named for themselves after George Clooney’s character in our favorite movie, “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”  Their brand of music is filled with swampy harmonicas and bluesy guitar licks mixed with influences from the 80s and 90s.

Dustin Collins has come a long way from performing in his native hometown of Bardstown, Kentucky. He recently went to number 1 on the Billboard Hot Single Sales chart for “Cold Dead Hands.” He has been sharing the stage with Kane Brown and the Kentucky Headhunters in the past.
