Kyle Ray is redefining a genre by infusing the rebelliousness of classic outlaw country with the harmonic and lyrical richness of bluegrass and folk. Taking inspiration from artists like Johnny Cash and Chris Stapleton, his catalog spans from weary acoustic ballads to upbeat energetic tracks. Ray’s debut single, “If It’s Taxed, It Ain’t Shine,” released in early 2024, evokes a raw and captivating sound, with lyrical content pulling from the beautiful and tragic experiences of his upbringing in small-town Kentucky. Ray is just beginning to make his mark on the country music landscape.
Reese Nobile’s honest and soulful voice brings listeners into a world where they feel seen. She creates new boundaries with her unique ability to genre bend between country and pop and instills a special emotional engagement with her audience. Nobile draws influence from strong female artists who have inspired her such as Stevie Nicks, Lana Del Rey, and Susan Tedeschi.
Nobile began her musical journey in childhood where she was raised in a small town in Florida. At only 18, she opened for Brandi Carlile, Zach Bryan, and Ben Harper at the Moon Crush Festival in 2022. Nobile has also shared the stage with Bryan Kennedy (songwriter for Garth Brooks) in Florida, and has studied under Amy Bellamy (Beyoncé) at Berklee. Her music continues to blossom as she explores ways to translate the human condition into lyrics and melodies.
Nobile's latest singles—"Ready To Run" and "Philophobia"—are currently available on all streaming platforms, with more music to follow later this year.
