If it wasn’t already abundantly clear, the neo-traditional country scene is continually expanding. In 2024, acts like Dylan Gossett and Conner Smith grabbed the spotlight with debut breakout hits and sold-out runs of tour, while young blood such as Ty Myers and Brenn! have staked their claim thus far this year. As the genre continues to evolve, Austin, TX-born Bo Staloch enters the chat. When he speaks, Staloch’s tone and temperament are unpretentious, impressionable.

Following two interviews over Zoom, my first in-person interaction with Nashville-based pop-punk singer Knox occurred at Philadelphia, PA’s Brooklyn Bowl during his opening set for alt-pop trio Nightly in early November 2023.

With temperatures in the low sixties, South Street was alive last Saturday night for pre-Easter shenanigans in Philly.

There is very little information to go off of on Portsmouth, UK-born singer-songwriter Jack Dean on the internet, just a handful of songs and an unmistakable voice that laid dormant until just a few years ago. He’s young, new to the scene, and relatively green; therefore, seemingly unburdened by the unpredictability and cutthroat nature of the industry, but a 35-minute chat over Zoom was enough to uncover an artist more than willing to put in the work.

The morning of February 11th was a hectic one for Bend, Oregon-born singer-songwriter Max McNown. Hours before his first of two shows at New York City’s Irving Plaza, news broke of a pop-up Paul McCartney show scheduled for later that evening to occur just a 20-minute walk down the street at the iconic Bowery Ballroom. As expected, tickets for the show sold out in mere minutes.

There are few contemporary artists, even amongst A-listers, with the reputation Sam Fender has created for himself since the release of Hypersonic Missiles, his staggering debut record in 2019. RAYE comes to mind, as do Phoebe Bridgers and Mk.gee.

Rebecca Haviland is a multi-functional music industry professional, continuously shifting gears from frontwoman to background musical support to educator, among other ventures. A Rebecca Haviland & Whiskey Heart performance at NYC’s Rockwood Music Hall in the fall of 2017 was, in the life of an aspiring young journalism student, one of many formative examples of how the phrase, ‘Those that can’t do, teach,’ is trivial and an elementary grasp of the definition of success.
