5:30pm Early Access | 6 PM DOORS | 6:30PM SHOW

Morgan Wade:

Rather than smoothing over life’s rough edges, Morgan Wade leans directly into them. Never one to mince words or play coy, the celebrated singer-songwriter has built her career around undeniable honesty and vulnerable storytelling, turning life’s hardest moments into songs that feel both deeply personal and universally understood. With a voice that carries equal parts grit, vulnerability, and strength, Wade has emerged as one of the most compelling storytellers in contemporary country and roots music.

Her breakthrough album Reckless introduced listeners to Wade’s fearless songwriting and raw emotional depth, earning widespread critical acclaim and a fiercely loyal fanbase. Songs like “Wilder Days” showcased her ability to balance arena-sized hooks with confessional lyrics - a signature style that quickly set Wade apart in Nashville and beyond.

Since then, the Virginia native has continued to expand her sound and storytelling with her albums Psychopath, Obsessed, and most recently The Party Is Over (recovered). Blending country, rock, and Americana influences, her music explores themes of addiction, mental health, resilience, and self-discovery with striking authenticity. On her forthcoming and much-anticipated fifth studio album, Wade will continue the deep exploration of her psyche.

Wade is making her acting debut with a recurring role in the new season of Dutton Ranch, an expansion of the critically acclaimed Yellowstone universe. Whether on record, on stage, or on the big screen, Wade delivers performances defined by emotional clarity, intensity, and connection, solidifying her place as one of the most distinctive voices in modern music.

Susto:

Justin Osborne has been performing as ‘Susto’ since 2013, when he formed a collective of fellow musicians and artists in coastal Charleston, South Carolina. Now a bona fide emissary of alt rock and treasure to the indie crowd, a lifelong calling coupled with a cosmic push of serendipitous happenstance led to his latest venture: ‘Susto Stringband’ joined by Americana vocalist Clint Roberts, clawhammer banjoist Helena Rose, and upright bassist Joey Brown (now Holler Choir).

Lightning struck as an immediate connection and artistic chemistry captured a new sound and visualization that unfolds on Susto Stringband’s debut release from New West Records, simply titled "Susto Stringband: Volume 1." Nine of Osborne’s ballads, refrains and heart wrenching confessions, now drenched in the singular Appalachian sound of Holler Choir’s verdant harmonies and stringed arrangements. Still, steeped in the emotive punch of the traditional string band sound, Susto Stringband presents an Arcadia like vision of pastoralism and and harmony with nature, but with Osborne’s lyrics, there are landmines to dodge and mountains to climb.
