Up a holler in Eastern, KY is where you can find the melting pot that created the sound of Shelby Lore. From the screaming guitars of southern rock bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd, blistering blues from Stevie Ray Vaughan, mix in a little attitude from punk bands like Social Distortion, and finish it off with a heaping mess of honky tonk from Waylon Jennings. Stir all that up and you get the sound of Shelby Lore. The band consists of Tyler Kiser on bass and harmony, Luke Estep on drums and percussion, and Shelby Lore on guitar and vocals.

Kyle Eldridge is a Country & Western singer songwriter from Louisville, Kentucky and known as one of the most prominent guitar players in the traditional scene for his Maphis/ Travis picking and Western Jazz styling.

He got his start playing in the south where he met Upright Bassist Dakota Collins who brought him to Nashville, Tennessee. They began playing Honky Tonks on the famous Broadway strip and soon after, he recorded his debut EP in Los Angeles, California at Deke Dickerson’s studio.

He has played next to such artists as Jim Heath of Reverend Horton Heat, Shaun Young of High Noon, Jody & Rose Lee Maphis, The Lucky Stars, Dale Watson, Tommy Emmanuel, and many more. Dubbed the "Heir Apparent" by Larry Collins of The Collins Kids fame, Kyle Eldridge has been burning his way into the Country & Western scene and has quickly become in demand both domestically and abroad.

Hailing from the heart of railroad country in Opelika, Alabama, cosmic country outfit B.B. Palmer have made a name for themselves over the past several years, honing a sound steeped in the traditions of American country music.

The band’s latest offering, Krishna Country, sees the group approaching their craft with a much more expansive worldview — folding traditional Indian sounds into their work and creating a further-mesmerizing brand of ethereal roots music. On paper, it might seem an unexpected or jolting shift in direction, but for B.B. Palmer it’s simply the next step forward in their collective journey.

Make no mistake, this is still country music at its core, but the addition of sitar and horns awash in reverb elevates the overall product to something more, standing on its own as a truly unique output. Imagine if Ravi Shankar recorded with the Byrds backed by Stax’s Memphis Horns, and you’d be pretty close to imagining this Alabama outfit’s forthcoming output.
