Tony Logue isn’t new to singing about the rigors of Western Kentucky life, how they intertwine with the raw geography of the land and the graphic history of bloodlines. His 2018 acoustic album Serpents and Saviors is a fine showcase of his sharp storytelling mixed with cutting observation. But 2022’s Jericho ups the ante by pulling out all the stops and assembling the right pieces to help tell his stories (“Saving Country Music” 2022.) While Logue’s 2022 release Jericho was met with critical acclaim, his 2023 follow up album The Crumbs found its way on all the same end of year lists. Logue and his longtime backing band, The 184, are quickly carving out their place among their respective Kentucky alumni. Logue’s characters often have grease beneath their nails and their backs against the wall. Stories woven with the thread of hardship and hope. Poignant tales that speak to the human desire for redemption and the need to chart a new and better path forward. As a songwriter, Logue has proven a voice for America’s Heartland. A blend of Country, Americana and Folk. But make no mistake, Tony Logue and the 184 are a Rock & Roll band, and a good one at that.

Addison Johnson
Neo-Traditional Country Music with Americana and Bluegrass influences is the focus of Greensboro, NC, native Addison Johnson, as he joins the effort of those determined to revive the sounds, feelings and content associated with the industry’s pioneers. His music is inspired by the work of legends like George Jones, Lefty Frizzell, and Waylon Jennings. He also draws inspiration from the more modern version of that traditional sound from artists like Alan Jackson, Mark Chesnutt, and Randy Rogers.
Addison is an experienced performer, and brilliant songwriter. He has an impeccable ability to develop a hook when writing a song, while focusing on the story-telling emphasis of the genre’s past. He builds a connection with an audience by using his ability to set up a song with a back-story that makes each person feel as though he’s speaking to them one-on-one. His gift is to then deliver a song in a way that appears to flow effortlessly from his soul and solidify that connection with the audience.
With strong lyrical content that will draw you into the story he’s telling, Addison’s songs take you on a journey to a time when country music was reflective of the working class American. Addison’s approach to songwriting brings those stories to life once again.
