“'Talk With Me' is one of those songs that could exist at any point in time,” shares Culpepper. “I'm proud of it and being able to lean on the greats from the past to draw inspiration from.”

Fusing his inextricable influences of country, soul and gospel, a line can be drawn directly from Culpepper's early musical influences – finding his voice in church as young as five years old – to the soulful DNA of “Talk With Me,” featuring trio backing vocals reminiscent of a choir. The song co-written by Culpepper, Rhys Rutherford and Rivers Rutherford, and produced by frequent collaborator Brian Elmquist (The Lone Bellow) was recorded at Ivy Manor during a pilgrimage with Culpepper's full band to Muscle Shoals.

The Alabama-native's “brand of hard-earned, raw realness that can't be feigned” (Billboard), has propelled him onto the radar of legends. Cultural mega-icon Elton John called Culpepper's recent “Jenni,” “a really great record…great mixture of country and funk,” while GRAMMY Award-winning artist / tastemaker John Mayer characterized “Pour Me Out” as “as good as it gets.”

Culpepper recently made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry just six months into his career as a recording artist. Hitting the ground running this year, Culpepper joins Leon Bridges, Dylan Gossett and Whiskey Myers on the road and is set to make first-ever appearances at Stagecoach, C2C in London, Tortuga Music Festival, and more.
