AUSTIN MEADEThanks to his metal- and classic-rock loving dad, Meade got to see bands like Judas Priest and worshipped Whitesnake. In junior high he related to the intense emo-rock of Paramore and Fall Out Boy, and the power of songwriters like John Mayer. Yet, thanks to plainspoken but deep heartland songwriters like Tom Petty, and cutting his teeth touring in the Texas and Oklahoma Red Dirt scene, Meade’s music overflows with wide-open soulfulness. He was a drummer for years, even teaching to pay the bills, but Meade found his true voice when he began playing guitar as a teen in his pastor-father’s church. Those experiences lend both a gravitas and rebelliousness to Meade’s songs and self. Now the frontman of his own band slinging guitar licks with
expert precision, his music rolled out with two releases in 2014, his first EP “Long Ways To Go” followed by his first full-length album “Chief Of The Sinners.” His next EP “Heartbreak Coming” came in 2016 with a couple of singles to announce his commencement on the Texas Music Chart, followed by his second full-length album “Waves” in 2019. In 2021, Meade introduced his third LP ‘Black Sheep’ including the hit tracks “Happier Alone,” “Cave In,”‘Dopamine Drop,” and “Deja Vu.” Meade released his fourth LP ‘Abstract Art Of An Unstable Mind’ fall of 2022, further showcasing his ability
to seamlessly blend genres into a groovy yet piercingly fresh sound of rock ‘n’ roll. Now comes for a new era ushering in Meade’s latest rock EP ‘Pretty Little Waist’ featuring singles “Blackout,” released with Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, Stoner Fantasy, and “Insignificant Other” featuring Sam Canty and Lance Vanley of Treaty Oak Revival.
Hailing from what he calls “The music capital of the world,” Cole Barnhill began his Music career in Lubbock, TX playing local bars with his band at the age of 17. Over the past five years, his Texas Rock sound has garnered millions of streams on multiple platforms and steadily grown a large and loyal fanbase throughout Texas and its surrounding states. Cole and his boys pride themselves on putting on a high-energy, engaging rock show that no one will soon forget. Cole packs a punch with his striking melodic vocals and heavy guitars that are sure to get any crowd moving.
Cole brings a refreshing sound and energy to an oversaturated music scene whose show leaves everybody wanting more. Cole is currently in the midst of release a 10 song album with the first of the releases “Daydreams” featuring Treaty Oak Revival, being an instant hit and a preview of what is to come in early 2025.
