Stories & Songs with Brent Rader, Matt Pritchard & Jay Caldwell

Brent Rader is a geologist and a native of middle Tennessee, but has been a Gulf Coast (Daphne) resident for 5 years now. He is a lifelong music fan, particularly singer-songwriters and storytellers such as Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, John Prine, Hoyt Axton, and Kris Kristofferson. He loves music memorabilia and is passionate about animal rescue. Brent began writing music about 2 years ago, and he is excited to share what he's been working on!

Born and raised in Mobile AL, Matt Prichard has been singing since he was old enough to remember. He also grew up singing in church and have led worship in multiple churches in the greater Mobile area. He's been playing guitar for 25 years and writing songs for 24 years. Music is one of his greatest passions, but he also loves golf "despite not being great at it."

Jay Caldwell is a musician and outdoorsman from Spanish Fort, Alabama, who has lived and worked in the Mobile area since the early 2000s. When he’s not playing music, he can usually be found hunting, fishing, or working with his hands. Influenced from an early age by a wide range of music—particularly Mississippi folk traditions from his family roots and the high-lonesome sounds of Appalachia—Jay brings a deep respect for culture, storytelling, and connection to everything he does.
