Transcript

Grady Spencer & The Work's foundation is country but there is a beautiful mix of folk, rock, soul, and a whole lot of honesty about life, hard work, and being "Down but Blessed."

Singer-songwriter and lead vocalist Spencer's upbringing outside of small-town Paducah, east of the Llano Estacado, is the bedrock behind the country sound. The hard-working outlook on life helped him succeed in the West Texas Live scene before he sought after new beginnings and headed East to Fort Worth.

The most recent collaboration of Spencer, drummer Blake Sager, bassist Johnny Hatcher, and lead guitarist Tyler Martin, Wait, was released at the beginning of the year.

"Call it a sense of resilience, reflected in Spencer’s art," says KXT 91.7.

Christone "Kingfish" Ingram performs in Garland's Sounds of Summer Concert Series!

Since the release of Kingfish, his Grammy-nominated 2019 debut, guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter “Kingfish” has quickly become the defining blues voice of his generation.

Ingram was presented with five Blues Music Awards, including 'Album of the Year' for Kingfish in 2020.

His current album 662 is the next chapter in the still-unfolding story of Christone “Kingfish” Ingram. He describes 662 as his own personal journey, a story that sits upon the legacy of his influential blues elders. Kingfish won the Grammy award for "Best Contemporary Blues Album" for 662 at this year's Annual Grammy Awards.
