Hailing from Akron, Ohio, Americana songwriter Jamie Rhoades delivers a raw blend of folk and outlaw country rooted in honest storytelling. After nearly four decades as a musician and two years as a solo artist, Rhoades has developed a voice that speaks to hard work, redemption, and real human connection. Drawing inspiration from Townes Van Zandt, Blaze Foley, and Bob Dylan, his songs echo the poetry of everyday life. Signed with 9 Lives Records under Sony Music’s The Orchard, Jamie continues to carve his own path—grounded, genuine, and full of heart.Raised in Newport News, Virginia, Bobby Wilson draws inspiration from a wide mix of sounds that shaped him growing up—’80s and ’90s rock, grunge, hip-hop, rap, and country. That blend of genres shows up naturally in his songwriting, where raw emotion meets honest storytelling.
“Torrin Blaze is a singer/songwriter hailing from Central PA and currently based in Akron, OH. His stripped down melancholy sound finds inspiration from artists like Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), Elliott Smith, and other indie-folk influences of the like.
Through his songwriting Torrin Blaze embraces the vulnerability of emotion shared through music as he touches on themes of life, love, and loss with an underlying sense of hope and yearning for better days. Armed with only his guitar and a microphone, he invites listeners to dive into their feelings and connect over the universal language of music.”
