TAYLOR HUNNICUTT
Taylor Hunnicutt makes old-school southern music for the modern world. She's a proud daughter of Alabama, writing songs that nod to the state's tradition of country storytelling, rock 'n' roll rebellion, and guitar-driven grit. Sharpened by a touring schedule that's kept her on the road for roughly 200 days a year, she makes her full-length debut with Alabama Sound — an album that unfolds like a love letter to the American South, written by a road warrior who's spent most of the decade far away from home.
"It's a little country, a little singer/songwriter, and a little Americana," she says of the album, which she recorded with her touring band during short breaks from the road. "There's a whole lot of soul and southern rock, too. To me, that sound encompasses my home. It's not one genre — it's just Alabama."
Years before she shared shows with fellow genre-benders like Muscadine Bloodline and Red Clay Strays, Hunnicutt grew up in Marengo County. Her mother filled the family home with '90s country songs, and Hunnicutt discovered her own musical gifts at a young age. She sang in the school choir and strummed chords on an acoustic guitar gifted to her at 17 years old. After graduation, she moved north to Birmingham, where she briefly attended college on an opera scholarship.
"I didn't cut it in college," she admits. "There were too many rules." Instead, Hunnicutt headed to Birmingham and landed a gig waiting tables at a blues juke joint. It was there that Hunnicutt paid her dues, often sitting in with the bands who'd blow through town, developing the powerful, raspy-throated vocal chops that would transform her into one of the state's proudest exports. She expanded her musical tastes, too, falling deeper in love not only with songwriters like John Prine, but also with classic rock frontmen like Bad Company's Paul Rogers, The Faces' Rod Stewart, and Humble Pie's Steve Marriott.
Alabama Sound swirls those influences together. Recorded at Clearwave Studios in North Alabama, the album captures not only a songwriter on the rise, but also a band of hard-working, highway-driving musicians who've built their audience the traditional way: by piling into a van and hitting the road, winning people over one encore at a time. "There was a point where we decided to stop doing three-hour shows filled with cover songs, and start booking ourselves for 90-minute sets of our own music," Hunnicutt says of the band's early years. "We played everywhere we could, traveling in a terrible van, just figuring it the hell out. We'd go to new markets and play to two people, and not make a dime, then we'd go on the road with a band like Muscadine Bloodline and open up for thousands of people every single night. We were just grinding. That's what we're still doing."
Those years in the trenches helped transform Hunnicutt's show into a high-energy, hell-raising combination of southern stomp, country-rock twang, and amplified attitude. "Saw Blade Hill," a moonshining song stacked high with slide guitar riffs and menacing grooves, made its debut during those gigs. So did tunes like the anthemic "Trail of a Broken Heart" and the barreling, boogie-woogie rocker "Upside Down & Shaken”. On their days off, Hunnicutt and company would drive to Decatur to work with producer Jeremy Stephens, who spot lit the band's well-oiled chemistry by capturing Alabama Sound in a series of live takes.
"We recorded almost everything live, because we wanted to capture the energy that we have onstage," says Hunnicutt, who duets with Adam Hood on "Nobody's Business" — a bluesy brush-off to anyone looking to stick their nose into her private business — and rips into the title track, "Alabama Sound," with fire and ferocity. "Nothing we'd ever recorded before could really portray that. I'm happy with the push-and-pull of some of the songs, because it sounds so real and raw. It sounds like us."
And, to paraphrase the frontwoman herself, it sounds like Alabama.
TRIPPP
Treyson, JD, and Chaz Stafford make up TRIPPP: a band of triplet brothers from Jonesboro, Arkansas. Their unique country sound includes a touch of Memphis blues, Kentucky bluegrass, and Southern rock; channeling raw country storytelling and three-part harmonies that only family can create.
Since 2017, the brothers have played over 300 shows, sharing stages with a new generation of country artists including Wyatt Flores, Riley Green, Ole 60, and Gavin Adcock. Along the way, they’ve been voted “Best Local Band” in Northeast Arkansas eight times and have raised more than $15,000 for Make-A-Wish and other charities. Off the road, TRIPPP has built a vault of songs, continuing to evolve their sound with nods to legends like Johnny Cash and The Eagles, while carrying forward the energy and edge of modern Southern rock.
TRIPPP is now stepping into the next chapter: one built on grit, harmony, and a lifetime of brotherhood. It's the sound of three brothers chasing the dream they were born to share.
MARC RIDGE & the REVELERS
Born Marc Allen Ridge in 1990 to teenage parents in Lafayette, IN. Marc started his interest in music as young as the age of 8, listening to his mother's love of music that would fill his home as a child. Both of his grandfathers played guitar, one influenced by the sounds of Johnny Cash, and the other by Led Zeppelin--you can say, music runs in his veins. He picked up his first guitar at the age of 12 and started teaching himself chords, rhythm, and how to sing. By 16 he was playing in bars, only old enough to be allowed in the bar as long as he was on stage. At 18 he found himself married and signing up for the US Army. Dedicating 4 years to service, including a 12 month deployment tour in Afghanistan (OEF9/10). While stationed in Germany, Marc and his wife welcomed their first child in 2011. In 2012 Marc was discharged from the military and arrived back stateside with his wife, Kristen, and 1 year old son. In the Summer of 2013, Marc signed a contract with his great-uncle to acquire a piece of property and home that had been in his family for over 100 years. The dilapidated house needed a lot of work, including running water and electric. In 2014, Marc and Kristen welcomed their second son and moved into their still unfinished soon to be home. Marc decided to start a homestead to enrich his family's life as they repaired and made that old farmhouse a home. In 2018 he learned that his uncle had passed away and that the home and land went into a trust that his second cousins managed. In the bitter cold winter of January 2019, the wood burning stove couldn't keep up with the polar vortex temperatures of -41º and below, the bitter cold finally pushed them out of their homestead, forfeiting their property. Today, you can hear these very stories throughout his music, whether it's being streamed across the internet or being played in a bar near you. Real stories of life, love, and struggle.
In 2024, After spending a year on the road playing solo, Marc Ridge formed a band dubbed “Marc Ridge & The Revelers” Comprised of Marc Ridge (Lead Vocals, Guitar) Joe Heeb (Drums) and Gibson Wells (Bass) forming a powerful trio, taking the music to the next level. Since the inception of the band they have toured the road playing Dive Bars, Honky Tonks and even the iconic Whiskey Jam in Nashville Tennessee. Growing closer as a band, sharing wins and losses. Holding everything together through the power of music and a shared vision for having their music reach the masses, and move souls.
