Red Barn Radio

Alabama native Drayton Farley has as honest a voice as you're likely to hear in this burgeoning scene of country, folk, roots, and Americana music we're all wrapped up in. With songs and lyrics pulled from real life experience, there's a grounded feeling to his stories, a confessional quality that rings true to those who know. His voice fills the room like cigarette smoke, curling into every corner of you, with a fine grit rasp that smooths out every rough edge. Red Barn Radio is so excited to have Drayton Farley on stage with us!

Nathan Kalish is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, engineer, and  storyteller. His extensive back catalog of independent releases and  hard-touring work ethic has landed him on stages with Lucinda Williams,  Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and many other current and legacy acts.  Nathan is travelling with his band to promote his newest album, "Great  Big Motel Bed in the Sky", consisting of David Guy, John Papageorgio,  and Zach Vinson. Please welcome Nathan Kalish & his Derechos to the  stage!

We've had Brother Smith, founded by Wesley and Aaron Smith, before on Red Barn, but never like this! They've added new players and crafted new sounds that draw on country, funk, and soul. What began as a passion for music between two brothers has grown into a family that keeps that passion, but now with a larger sound. We're so excited to have Brother Smith on tonight!

Luke was Born and  raised in Paintsville, KY. Influenced by previous Eastern Kentucky artists such  as Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, and Chris Stapleton, like them, Luke looks  to capture the Appalachian sound and the daily lifestyle of the people who make  up the area. Luke is really finding an audience out there, and we're glad he can  be with us in his early career.

Hailing from Winston-Salem in North Carolina, Sam emerged on the music scene in 2014 as a solo artist. He's a self-proclaimed "road dog", playing to eager crowds all over the Southeastern United States. Whiskey Foxtrot, the band he co-founded with Seth Williams, has helped him establish a following on local, regional, and global levels, but he's here tonight back in solo! Help us welcome Sam Foster to the stage!

Matthew grew up near Ashland, KY. Having learned music and lore from his Grandfather Hobart and soaking up Appalachian music from local Kentucky traditional musicians, Stallard brings that into his music. A born fiddler, we're so excited to have Matthew Stallard on the stage tonight!

While Eric has satisfied his rocking sensibilities doing vocal and guitar with the Rock Band Alcatraz shakedown, he worked the circuit for some time performing his own tunes, primarily solo and acoustic. The new phase of his career has him buddied up with three players: Seth Murphy, cello and multi-instrumentalist, and John Ferguson, keys/bass/vocals, and Ben Caldwell, drums/vocals. We're so excited to have these amazing musicians on the stage!

James VanDeuson is a traveling Singer/Songwriter from the foothills of Central New York. While driving with his band, "The Rollin' Rust," in a ret-rofitted school bus, James writes folk songs that speak directly to the trials of the human condition. In his most recent work, James responds to the current political climate, both socially and through the creation of his new-est album set to release early-2022.   James is currently on tour with his new band, throwing a curve ball into his traditional folky-performance with the addition of two others, calling themselves… “The Rollin’ Rust.” The Rollin’ Rust is a three piece Americana band that has been playing together on and off since they were teenagers.

Nicholas Jamerson is an Eastern Kentucky artist best known for his singing and writing songs. Jamerson’s songs are known for their attention to the natural world, warm hearted characters, and the plight and triumphs of the modern-day hillbilly. Mixed with word and indelible melody, Jamerson has put together a catalog that reaches across broad spectrums in both substance and style.  Nicholas Jamerson has endeared himself to fans in the region and beyond with his beautiful voice and the harmonies that pour out of his songs, which he often plays with his band, the Morning Jays. Having performed on some of the most hallowed stages and events in the region, like the Grand Ol' Opry and the Ryman, Red Barn is so excited to welcome Nicholas Jamerson in this solo performance on our stage!

Formerly touring under the name “Blackfoot Gypsies”, this really talented trio of players based in East Nashville has changed its name but not its mission, which is to bring their fun and raucous brand of Rock n Roll back to the region and beyond. These guys have established a loyal fanbase across the US and Europe-- fans who anxiously await each new single or video they release, and especially look forward to feeling the energy Matthew, Zach, and Dylan bring to any stage they're on.
