Some know our latest guest on the Load Out music podcast—the Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Tony Kamel, from his days fronting the acclaimed bluegrass outfit Wood & Wire, while some might be familiar with his solo work, including the hit song "Amen." But on his latest studio album, We're All Gonna Live (2025), Kamel captures a no frills live-to-tape energy, perfectly complimenting the weighty but optimistic subjects encompassed in his character-based songs. When he was fronting Wood & Wire, Kamel garnered praise throughout the music world for his unique approach to performing, writing and recording—which ultimately led to a Grammy nomination for Best Bluegrass Record in 2018. His debut solo record Back Down Home (2021) then saw him team up with legendary songwriter Bruce Robison and his analog based production company, The Next Waltz. That album held a #1 spot on the Alt-Country Radio chart and was on the Americana Charts for several weeks. Produced jointly by Kamel and Robison, the new We're All Gonna Live is Kamel's third record for the label Blue Corn Music and we're thrilled to welcome him to the Load Out, serving as further proof that Kamel finds a way to sync up with anyone he's in the room with, or in our case, on Zoom. Enjoy a great new episode of The Load Out music podcast with Tony Kamel!
