ABOUT RILEY DOWNING
You may know Riley Downing from his work with acclaimed New Orleans combo the Deslondes, or perhaps from his similarly rootsy and wide-ranging catalog of songs with the Tumbleweeds – indeed, the Missouri-based singer-songwriter’s ability to set gripping, evocative narratives within soundscapes that weave together country, blues, folk, r&b, bluegrass, rock, soul and whatever else catches his ear is something that, once you hear it, is hard to shake free from. Same goes for that voice – deep, dusty and drawling, it’s an instrument that can stop you in your tracks with its character and expressiveness, as well as through Downing’s knack for laying out complex emotions in plainspoken, direct language.
ABOUT THE TALBOTT BROTHERS
The Talbott Brothers were born and raised in Imperial, Nebraska, a rural midwest town located a stone's throw from the Colorado and Kansas border consisting of two thousand people. Siblings Nick and Ty started writing songs at a young age after discovering their dad’s old guitar and vinyl collection and being introduced to rock and roll, blues and country music that their parents always had playing in the truck or at home. Not being born into a music community or having industry connections, they mowed lawns, loaded trucks and relied on their blue collar upbringing until they could afford a van on Craigslist to tour the country playing dive bars, coffee shops and honkytonks with a pile of burned CDs full of songs they recorded at a friend's cabin, making one fan at a time along the way. Their song ‘We Got Love’ (2017) brought them national recognition selling out shows across the US and their albums ‘Ghost Talker’ (2019) and ‘Letters’ (2022) garnered attention from 'Rolling Stone,’ 'Billboard' and 'The Boot' calling their music “cinematic,” “captivating blood harmonies” and "for fans of John Mayer, Mumford & Sons and Jason Isbell.” With over 3 million combined streams on Spotify, The Talbott Brothers blend their influences of rock, folk, pop and blues to create an infectious sound that is uniquely their own.
