Allen stone opened up for Chris Stapleton in November. I had never heard of him. I instantly became a fan. It was the same when Marcus king band opened up for Stapleton in 19. Both are in the shuffle constantly now.
Let me through out a local guy that lives in Nashville he has been playing music for over 45 years Brian Langlinais. He plays his own style of music with a swamp pop influence.
Lost Bayou Ramblers....
I'll be honest with you guys, I frickin hate bluegrass and most country is not much better, but I LOVE the blues. I highly recommend Buffalo Nichols & Christone "Kingfish" Ingram. I personally think Kingfish is the future of the blues. He's incredible. Nichols is more of a folk blues guitarist but he does some cool stuff fusing the blues with other genres! Both are definitely worth a listen, and I hope to see them both live at some point.
Oh yeah they're awesome. Their current guitarist Jonny Campos is in a lot of bands, but if you're into the indie rock scene, check out Brass Bed and Carbon Poppies. Carbon Poppies is a side project of Brass Bed. Brass Bed/Carbon Poppies' drummer Peter DeHart also owns MakeMade, a graphic design business that has collaborated with my dad a few times.
