Iconic independent record label based in Nashville, TN. Founded in 1981 by Grammy-winning musician John Prine and long time manager Al Bunetta.

Growing up with a single mother in San Benito, Texas, the hometown of Tejano star Freddy Fender was not easy for blues singer Charley Crockett. Hitchhiking across the country exposed Crockett to the street life at a young age, following in the footsteps of his relative, American folk hero Davy Crockett, who also lived a wild life on the American frontier. After train hopping across the country, singing on the streets for change in New Orleans’ French Quarter, busking in New York City and performing across Texas and Northern California, Crockett set off to travel the world and lived on the streets of Paris for nearly a year before searching for home in Spain, Morocco, and Northern Africa.

The blues artist returned home to Texas and released his debut solo album titled A Stolen Jewel
in 2015, receiving critical acclaim in Dallas and ultimately landing him a Dallas Observer Music Award that year for “Best Blues Act”. A record “rich with Southern flavor, a musical gumbo of Delta blues, honky-tonk, gospel and Cajun jazz,” Jewel proved that Crockett, born into poverty in the Rio Grande, had come home to make his musical mark on the South. Crockett, who is self-described as elusive, rebellious and self-taught, has been compared to legends like Bill Withers, Merle Haggard, and Gary Clark Jr. 

He released his sophomore record In The Night, an admirable nod to his Texas country and Louisiana blues roots, on June 4 and ended 2016 having played over 125 shows. “In the Night” and Crockett’s song “I Am Not Afraid” received international recognition from top tastemakers after being picked by NPR Music as one of the "Top 10 Songs Public Radio Can't Stop Playing” and selected by David Dye to be featured on World Cafe in late July. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram called it “an impressive calling card, full of Crockett's plaintive soulfulness and swinging tempos" and Central Track noted the artist as having "the well-rounded songwriting capabilities of Van Morrison and a vocal approach that finds common ground between Bill Withers and early Dr. John." Crockett graced the cover of Buddy Magazine in May 2016, who called him “the archetype of the new American vagabond.”

He has shared the stage with artists like Turnpike Troubadours, Leon Bridges, Justin Townes Earle, Citizen Cope, Alejandro Escovedo, Joe Ely, Sean Hayes, Tab Benoit, Ace Enders and others.

Jason Graham is an American singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer based in New Orleans, LA. His musical influences range from alternative rock, grunge, and industrial, to classic rock, blues, and oldies. Graham’s signature sound has been characterized as dark, yet melodic; an alternate take on rock and roll fusing the nostalgic expression of the blues with high gain, hook driven anger of grunge. 
Growing up in the small town of Denver, IN, Graham was raised in a musical household and began playing guitar at an early age. By his late teens, he was already an accomplished musician, having played venues such as the renowned Ground Zero Blues Club in Clarksdale, Mississippi. While attending college, he continued to develop as a musician and writer, ultimately moving to Austin TX to join the local music scene. Graham would cut his teeth on 6th street and soon began developing his unique style blending his love of alternative rock and grunge with the Texas Blues of which he found himself surrounded.
Graham’s latest work, Soul For Sale, encapsulates that fusion; a retelling of the blues’ infamous crossroads legend through the lens and grit of alternative rock.
