Splintered from the foundations of John Prine, the Rolling Stones, and Jerry Jeff Walker, Mac Leaphart is an artist who puts the song first. He’s filled his award-winning career with a mix of hook-heavy roots music, honky-tonk rock & roll, and salty, sharply-detailed songwriting. It’s a sound that finds the Nashville-based troubadour nodding to those who've come before him while also pushing forward into uncharted territory, earning support from a cross-country spread of folk fans and Americana audiences along the way.

Leaphart’s 2024 release, Motel Breakfast, is an album for roadhouses, dive bars, and half-lit crowds who want to have a good time but also want to listen. If the bulk of the album conjures up images of Leaphart and company onstage, sweating their way through a rough-and-tumble set of American roots music, then the record's title track takes place the morning after the gig. It's the sort of morning that road-worn musicians know all too well, where the thrills of last night's show have all faded away, and all that's standing between you and another five-hour drive is a free motel breakfast.

The official Soundcloud profile of the band Dispatch.

Ryan Adams has been praised as "one of rock's most talented songwriters” (SPIN). The 7-time Grammy nominated artist has 17 studio albums to his name, accumulating in millions of sales. He has produced albums for esteemed musicians including Willie Nelson, Jesse Malin, Jenny Lewis and has collaborated with some of music’s most influential artists such as Weezer, Fall Out Boy, America and many more.
 
Ryan’s profound contributions to music have taken many different forms. From his songwriting, to his producing, to fronting the rock/alternative country band Whiskeytown, and forming, “Ryan Adams & The Cardinals,” his ability to connect with audiences across a variety of different mediums is undeniable. Adams’ musical creativity was recognized early on and led to his NME Best Solo Artist win in both 2003 and 2004. In addition to his self-titled, double-Grammy-nominated 2014 album, Ryan’s catalogue includes Heartbreaker, Ashes & Fire, Easy Tiger, Cold Roses, Jacksonville City Nights, Love Is Hell, his 2001 major label debut Gold, and more.
 
Ryan’s artistry is not limited to his songwriting capabilities. In 2009, he published Infinity Blues, a book of free verse poetry about his journey to self-realization, and Hello Sunshine, a collection of poems and short stories. Ryan’s passion for writing continues, and he is currently working on his first novel. His music has spanned multiple musical genres, and has been incorporated in film and television specials such as Judd Apatow’s top grossing production Bridesmaids, This is 40, popular HBO TV series’ True Blood and Felicity, and his song, ‘Stay Alive’ appeared in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, starring Ben Stiller.
 
In November 2014, Ryan performed a two-night engagement at New York’s famed Carnegie Hall, which turned into a critically acclaimed live album on PAX-AM records, a label specifically for his music releases.

Ryan is widely known for his powerful shows performed all over the world and regarded for his prolific songwriting. He has been praised by many music icons including Noel Gallagher, Taylor Swift and the legend Elton John, who described him as the “fabulous one.” Adams currently resides in Los Angeles, California with his five cats, typewriter, and coffee machine.

Born in Alton, Illinois. eldest child of Fayez and Karen. Mom was an art major, dad an accountant. Opposites attract and then raise dysfunctional children. Brother Faris was born just 18 months after me. He played music too. In 1970 our family moved to El Paso. I was just 3. Our names were strange and to the general amusement of other kids I wore big glasses. They made fun of me a lot. I know - boohoo...when I was 9 I saw the Beatles White album in K-Mart. I got my grandmother to buy it for me. It changed my life. When I was 16 I started writing songs. Brother Faris was the only one who believed they were worth a crap. Faris started playing drums. I played guitar. F sold his car for a drum kit then moved to guitar. I moved to bass. Then we both moved to Denton. We hated living in Denton. It was boring and the other bands all had bongo players. We made our self-titled debut in 1999 on an 8-track recorder then quit playing music together. Faris released several solo cds and then quit playing music altogether. I've had 6 full-length solo cds come out since 2004: Polaroid (2004); Beautiful Noise (2005); Snowing In My Heart (2007); Constellation (2009); Hit Parade (2012); Skeleton Closet (2015) plus the A Way To Your Heart E.P. (2004), Live at Pleasantry Lane (2007) Ciphers From Snowing (2008) and the Friends For Life E.P. (2012).
