Tales of Misfortune received praise from NPR's Fresh Air, Billboard, American Songwriter, Whiskey Riff, Bandcamp, and more. The 8-track album recounts the 21-year-old Boones Mill, VA native's origin story and artistic coming of age, diving into stories that capture the allures of small-town living while journeying through the pains of unrequited love and grief.

Over the last year, the newcomer -- who NPR Fresh Air praised has the "crackling, creative energy that transcends age or genre"-- has already shared bills with artists such as Charley Crockett, Molly Tuttle, Ketch Secor and Marty Stuart And His Fabulous Superlatives (among others) and is set to join 49 Winchester for two sold-out Lexington, VA shows this summer. He recently played MerleFest, Rooster Walk and Suwannee Spring Reunion and will continue his busy festival season with Bourbon andamp; Beyond, Floydfest, AVL Fest and more. See his full upcoming dates below.
