Hayden Karchmer, known by his moniker The Hill Country Devil, is a Texas-raised songwriter whose music embodies raw honesty and unflinching reality. With a life marked by both intense highs and gut-wrenching lows—including a period of homelessness—Karchmer channels his experiences into songs that resonate with desperation and profound emotion. His work is a reflection of a nomadic existence, having lived in places as diverse as Tennessee, Texas, Georgia, Ohio, Colorado, and New York. Each song captures a piece of his journey, blending compelling storytelling with a soulful voice and a deft touch on the guitar. Karchmer’s music doesn’t just tell stories; it compels listeners to feel every nuance of his experiences, making him a truly remarkable artist in the world of songwriting.

Conrad Moore is a North Georgia native singer-songwriter who captures the soul of the working southern man. His songs have roots in folk storytelling which nod to the ups and downs of life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. All washed in hints of booze, half-truths, and motel rooms. His lyrics personify Mother Nature and her dance with Appalachia. The human condition and blue-collar woes are often his muses. Although his songs have no shortage of heartbreak and day to day strife.

The modern state of music would call Conrad's sound Americana. But when asked to describe it himself in a recent interview this was his response. "I call it country, but we all know why that gets confusing nowadays. I’m okay with Americana as long as the definition is clear. It’s like Petroliana. You know when you see that old Shell sign in a guy’s shop somewhere it speaks a thousand words. You imagine its history and its place in the American oil industry. Americana is much the same to me. It’s music that is without a doubt, uniquely American. I think Southern Folk would honestly describe my sound quite well. It’s an audible representation of how and where I was raised."

Conrad produces a relatable angst of a generation growing up within the confines of a flawed American dream. Not without hope, his music shares with us what's left to save about the southland. He's a self taught guitarist and vocalist which adds to his unique Appalachian sound.
