Equal parts classic songwriter and modern-day storyteller, Gabe Lee has built his own bridge between country, folk and rock. Lee has been collecting stories for years, both onstage and off. "I used to bartend," says the Nashville- based songwriter, "which means I was also a cheap therapist for whomever happened to be sitting on the barstool. Whether they were there to celebrate or drink away their problems, I heard about whatever they were going through. It was my job to have that face-to-face interaction—that connection. Being a full-time musician isn't much different." With critically-acclaimed albums like 2019's farmland, 2020's Honky-Tonk Hell, and 2022's The Hometown Kid, Lee created that connection by delivering his own stories to an ever-growing audience. His fourth record, Drink the River, takes a different approach. This time, Lee isn't offering listeners a peek into his internal world; he's holding up a mirror to reflect their own.
Storytelling has been an anchor of Lee's music since the very beginning. Raised by Taiwanese parents in Nashville, TN, he left home during his teenage years and headed to Indiana, where he obtained college degrees in literature and journalism. Lee launched his career as a genre-bending musician after returning to Tennessee, quickly progressing from dive bar gigs to high-profile opening slots (including shows with JasonIsbell, Los Lobos, Molly Tuttle, and other artists who, like him, blurred the lines between roots- rock, country, and other forms of American folk music) to his own headlining shows.
From Florida to Nashville by way of the Carolinas, Zach Meadows’ music is rooted in a passion for personal, expressive songwriting and a penchant for weaving experiences into something greater. Grounded in the Americana tradition, Meadows’ stories make for a compelling miscellany of love, loss and everything in between. With his soulful, resonant voice, Meadows’ music is grounded in authenticity.
