I’ve put together a playlist featuring the best roots music from Virginia - local heros, friends, and big names alike.

For longer than I can remember, I’ve been enamored with home recording. What made me want to switch directions and seek professional help (musically)?

That title probably has you thinking, “Brent, what is this LinkedIn bull-hockey?” You're probably onto something. However, this has been on my mind recently, and I’d rather share it here than on LinkedIn.

Before 2020, I was playing 70-80 shows a year and traveled far out of state to perform. As I began pursuing musical opportunities this year, I had to ask myself: Am I still that person?

I was a bored kid on the outskirts of Appalachia, and bored kids get creative. That’s why I started writing songs.

Making this record helped me realize I was capable of more than I believed, and has inspired me to keep working towards even more.

In an age where audiences crave authenticity and have their BS-detectors set on high, too many fledgling artists still believe that "fake it till you make it" is a viable path forward.
