In this episode of Jam w/ Jason, @nathanevansfox joins from Nashville to tell his story. He grew up in the hills of western North Carolina surrounded by bluegrass and Celtic music, picking up violin at four years old and never really putting it down. He spent years bouncing between New York, Houston, and Atlanta before landing in Nashville in his 30s, not chasing a dream, but finally ready to commit to one.In this episode Nathan opens up about keeping music private for years due to complicated ties to religious communities, losing his dad and becoming a father himself, and how those two things ended up at the center of his new record. He talks about signing to Free Dirt Records, recording his upcoming album Heirloom across three different cities because he didn't think he had a record in him until suddenly he did, opening for Carsie Blanton through the Midwest this May, and heading out with Noah Gunderson in July. 🎥 Recorded & filmed by CDF Music Group🎙️ Mic provided by Shure — recorded using the Shure MV7+ | #ShurePartner— Follow  @nathanevansfox  YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJuiU9YPjqvI915OsnpogKwInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/nathan.evans.fox/Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/nathanevansfox/TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@nathan.evans.foxSpotify → https://open.spotify.com/artist/2sQgm2iQWAvwjyGjTXDUJ2Website → https://www.nathanevansfox.com/— Follow CDF Music Group:YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@CDFmusicgroupInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/cdfmusicgroupFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581557305077Website → https://www.cdfmusicgroup.com—#livemusic #americana #livesession #acoustic #singersongwriter #nashville #nathanevansfox #originalmusic #rootsmusic #risingartist© 2025 CDF Music Group.

Caitlin Mae is one of country music's most compelling rising voices and she has earned every bit of it the hard way.Born and raised in a small mining town in Abertridwr, South Wales, Caitlin fell in love with country music during family trips to Florida and never looked back. At 16 she was chosen to perform on stage with Carrie Underwood during her Cry Pretty 360 Tour. She packed her life up and moved 4,000 miles from home to Nashville to attend Belmont University and pursue a dream that has since become very real.Her single "House Sitting" earned Grammy consideration, won Best Modern Country Song at the World Songwriting Awards, and took Single of the Year at the International Singer Songwriter Association Awards. She has been featured on WSM Radio, the official home of the Grand Ole Opry, and is now working alongside producer Kent Wells, best known for his decades of work with Dolly Parton. Her fanbase, known as the Dreamers, spans the globe.In this session she sits down with CDF Music Group for a stripped down live performance and a conversation about where she came from, what it took to get here, and what it means to chase a dream.🎥 Recorded & filmed by CDF Music Group🎚️ Audio captured by Scott Clements (@harmonicbloom)🎙️ Mic provided by Shure — recorded using the Shure MV7+ | #ShurePartner—Follow Caitlin Mae:  @caitlinmaemusic  YouTube → https://www.www.youtube.com/@UCgFAuhs68RhENoPuJvYuaDA Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/caitlinmaemusic/Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/caitlinmaemusicSpotify → https://open.spotify.com/artist/1IxjoQpIjsnIXAH61MoqN6Website → https://caitlinmae.com/—Follow CDF Music Group:YouTube → https://www.youtube.com/@CDFmusicgroupInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/cdfmusicgroupFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581557305077Website → https://www.cdfmusicgroup.com—#livemusic #countrymusic #livesession #acoustic #singersongwriter #nashville #caitlinmae #originalmusic #indiecountry #risingartist© 2025 CDF Music Group.
