Emily Nenni -
The singer and guitarist has emerged as one of the freshest and most electrifying voices in Nashville, with a sound rooted in classic honky-tonk and spiked with serious country, soul and rock ‘n’ roll fire, and sweet-and-sassy lyrics that chronicle hard living, hot nights, heartbreak and other universal truths about the human condition.
Over the past several years she’s enraptured audiences across Music City with sizzling sets in smoky bars and clubs, honing her command of the stage, perfecting her skills as a band leader and sharpening an already astute world view, all of which are on full display on her newest studio album, Drive & Cry. The record is a marked departure from her previous full-length, 2022’s celebrated On the Ranch. Whereas that effort saw Nenni uproot herself to lend a hand – and write – while assisting at a ranch in southern Colorado, Drive & Cry drops the listener smack in the middle of her boisterous and bustling Nashville world.
Nenni will have plenty of opportunities for that in the near future, as she plans to take Drive & Cry on tour, far and wide. Nenni laughs. “So I maybe never thought I’d be a performer, but I sure am glad that I am.”
Dylan Earl -
Arkansas-based Dylan Earl plays a mix of classic old-time country and melancholic crooner ballads, with an added dose of late '70s country rock. Issuing his debut album, New Country to Be, in 2017, he followed it up with 2019's Squirrel in the Garden and 2023's I Saw the Arkansas.
Originally from Lake Charles, Louisiana, Dylan Earl first started writing and playing his own brand of country while at Hendrix College in Conway, Arkansas. Alongside close friend Zac Hale, they started the alternative country-rock outfit Swampbird in 2010, initially playing local shows before branching out across the US and releasing two albums, 2013's On Being Alone and 2015's Something to See. Following the latter’s release, Earl opted to go solo and started playing and recording his own material. In 2017 he issued his debut album, New Country to Be, which saw him playing classic '70s- and ‘80s-sounding country, from mournful ballads to upbeat honky tonk numbers. Tours of the U.S. and U.K. started to follow before he issued his sophomore album, 2019's Squirrel in the Garden. In 2021 Earl teamed up with Dutch alt-country artist
Judy Blank
for the single "Never Said a Word" before focusing on recording his third album in 2022. In early 2023, after signing to
Gar Hole Records
, he issued I Saw the Arkansas, before heading out on tour in support of the record across the U.S., U.K., and Europe. ~ Rich Wilson, Rovi
