Although born in South Carolina, singer/songwriter Dave Barnes spent most of his childhood in Mississippi, where he formed an early attachment to hip-hop but was also exposed to classic soul, blues, and R&B by his parents. Barnes' soulful pop songs won him the support of artists like John Mayer, while the spiritual tone of his lyrics earned some support from the Christian music scene.
Dave has had over 100 songs recorded by other artists such as Florida Georgia Line, Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire, Dan + Shay, Carrie Underwood, NEEDTOBREATHE, Billy Currington, and countless more. His past collaborations include artists Lindsey Stirling, Ingrid Michaelson, and Ben Rector, just to name a few. Dave's new album, “Featherbrained Wealth Motel” (October 20, 2023) is overflowing with feel-good vibes and throw-back melodies.
About Steve Moakler:
Steve Moakler is a country music singer/songwriter with Pennsylvania roots. More than 15 years into his career, with a series of acclaimed albums, co-written hits and cross-country tours in the rear view, his new album Make A Little Room (released on CN Records in August 2022) presents a recipe for something different. A life of unforgettable moments, savored in the spaces between. Writing or co-writing all 10 songs on Make A Little Room, what emerged was a set steeped in uncommon wisdom, and delivered with a spark of enlightened electricity. Just as spacious in approach as it is in theme, it features an easy-going spirit and the rootsy rhythms front-porch pop, as tender vocals alive with gratitude join a bare minimum of bright, breezy guitars.
