•• COLE CHANEY ••
When it comes to his latest album, In the Shadow of the Mountain, 25-year-old singer-songwriter Cole Chaney is pretty candid and blunt about who he is and what kind of music he wants to make — the result of which, this stunning offering from an artist wise beyond his age.
“I’m not concerned with being labeled as ‘country,’ whatever that means. And I’m kind of fed up with the scene, it’s not what I’m into right now,” Chaney says. Pointing to his lifelong admiration for 1990s rock as a vital influence on the sonic landscape of the album, Chaney aimed to find a melodic balance between that raw and real rock sound and the bluegrass and folk music of his native Kentucky.
“I wanted to make something that sounded like Ralph Stanley went in and got backed up by Soundgarden,” Chaney notes. “I write what I listen to. And whatever I listen to is going to come out in my music.”
For Chaney, even though he’s only in his mid-twenties, his journey has been long and bountiful already. From growing up in rural Appalachia to going to welding school, only to leave it behind and take a leap of faith when an opportunity to pursue music emerged. That life-changing decision led to Chaney hitting the road and finding work at The Burl, a storied Lexington music venue. Chaney has come full circle with The Burl, by selling out the space on multiple occasions to fervent crowds, including the large outdoor stage.
With In the Shadow of the Mountain being the latest milestone for Chaney, what remains is this driven musician in search of not only himself and his sound, but also an audience just as hungry — for something new, something different, and yet something so familiar.
•• WILD HORSES ••
Wild Horses are husband & wife from northern Minnesota living off-grid in a cabin hand-built in between tours. From very different musical backgrounds, Wild Horses have shaped a sound that incorporates heartbreaking vocals, standout harmonies, driving beats, and explosive dynamics.
A recent string of opening slots for Trampled by Turtles and Muscadine Bloodline respectively, went over huge with the crowds and now have them gaining traction in the upper Midwest and selling tickets to WH headlines shows. Charley Crockett just got wind of the band and offered WH direct support for his big Minneapolis outdoors show at Surly Field on August 23rd.
On “Sioux Falls”, Wild Horses bring their own rootsy Americana sound from their home in the woods of Minnesota, taking inspiration from the people and places found along the great American Highway.
