Kenny Feidler:
Feidler’s sound is dark, gritty, western rock and roll mixed with thoughtful, honest songwriting. Feidler’s path to the stage started on the rodeo circuit, writing songs about the life and selling his music from the trunk of an old Cadillac. Now he racks up the miles with his band, traveling from his home on the plains of Western South Dakota, to fill up bars and dance halls across America’s Heartland.
In 2024 Feidler has already performed alongside Colter Wall, Reckless Kelly, Josh Meloy, NedLeDoux, Chancey Williams, and many others. With multiple singles due to release this year and over 154 million streams in his career, it’s hard not to view this as a breakout moment for Feidler. However, Feidler is just thankful to have fans who care about his songs and the opportunity to make a living making music.
“I’m really thankful to do this,” Feidler says, “To have folks care about my songs and for my band to make a living, it’s just a really fortunate hand we’ve been dealt.
Kellen Smith:
“Smith’s devotion to songwriting wrapped in Western stories and imagery offers a unique perception.”
Kellen Smith is a singer/songwriter from Gillette, Wyoming. He is a University of Wyoming graduate and a fifth-generation cattle rancher. He began playing guitar and writing while in college at Laramie, WY. Smith’s devotion to crafting songs wrapped in Western stories and imagery offers a unique perception for the listener to enjoy.
Kellen makes his home on the Daly Ranch. The Daly Ranch was established in 1894 by John T. Daly and has been run for the last 125 years as a working cattle ranch. John T. Daly is the great-great-grandfather of Kellen Smith. In that 125 years, the Daly Ranch has grown to its current size. Currently, Kellen Smith lives on the ranch with his wife and three children, and they are the sixth generation of family members to live on the ranch.
The ShotGunBillys:
The ShotGunBillys are a high-energy southern rock band that blends Memphis blues with a steady Arkansas country handshake. The band hails from the outskirts of Memphis, Tennessee. They were nurtured by the sounds that made Memphis great but have carved a distinct sound that blends it all.
