Sometimes all it takes to move forward is remembering where you’ve been. And for Nashville artist Brandon Lay, that’s where his next step lies. Back with new batch of vintage-inspired country rock, the hard-to-tame son of a Tennessee preacher has re-embraced the organic edge of his own sound – a potent style he knows by heart.
Born in Jackson, Tennessee, Lay’s early life was a perfect illustration for his gutsy musical identity, raised right in the geographical middle of Memphis rock and Nashville country. Coming out of college, he combined that influence with a reputation for captivating crowds and guitar-slinging charisma, signing a major-label recording deal in 2017. But after a handful of early singles took him elsewhere, Lay’s primed for an all-natural change.
“Every artist is different, but I’ll put it this way. I grew up playing all the honky tonks and biker bars, but that aggressive kind of sound didn’t match what was on the radio,” he explains, considering his new path. “That was a bridge that I felt like this project had to make. … We wanted to match the live show with what people were hearing.”
The shift arrives just in time for this gifted singer-songwriter – and in a way, it all feels meant to be.
