The Brook & The Bluff return to their rock & roll roots with Werewolf - a high-voltage, live-inspired album that turns up the amps, pushes the tempo, and howls in four-part harmony. Fueled by the sharp songwriting and stacked vocals that have defined their catalog, the collection captures the raw, supercharged energy of the band’s concerts. 

 

After nearly a decade of nonstop touring - earning hundreds of millions of streams with fan favorites like “Halfway Up” and “Everything Is Just a Mess” - the band regrouped in Nashville, meeting every morning to write and rehearse like their early days in Birmingham, Alabama. Life unfolded in the background: weddings, divorces, real-world growing pains. Inside the room, it was all music. 

 

The band channels the swamp rock spirit of legendary artists like Creedence, Petty, and The Eagles, delivering loud, melodic, deeply human songs like lead single “Super Bowl Sunday” - a crashing, introspective anthem about ego and emotional blind spots. “The goal was to treat the record like a live set,” says frontman Joseph Settine. And that’s exactly what they’ve done. 

Armed with a new album and an unflinching spirit, The Brook & The Bluff are ready to hit the road again to continue their 2026 Werewolf tour. The band boasts a history of sold out headline tours across the continent, a number of major festival performances, and have supported artists like Noah Kahan, Mt. Joy, The Avett Brothers, Ashe, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise.

Nashville-born singer-songwriter RYMAN is carving out a lane of his own at the intersection of indie
folk, alternative country, and indie pop — a sound he lovingly calls “Barn Pop” and “Y’allternative.”
Blending heart-on-the-sleeve storytelling with infectious melodies and modern folk-pop production,
RYMAN is quickly emerging as one of the most compelling new voices in Nashville’s growing indie-folk
scene.

His debut album, Growing Pains, arriving July 31, 2026, captures the emotional uncertainty, self-
discovery, and growing pains that come with navigating change in early adulthood. Across the album’s 11

tracks, RYMAN pairs deeply reflective lyricism with an expansive, melodic sound inspired by the
emotional honesty of classic country songwriting and the modern sensibilities of artists like Medium
Build and Role Model.
Born into a musical family, RYMAN began creating melodies at just three years old. He started writing
songs in his early teens and signed his first record deal before graduating high school. While his earliest
releases explored a more pop-forward direction, RYMAN ultimately found his artistic center through
vulnerable folk-pop songwriting rooted in sharp storytelling and emotional transparency.
RYMAN has toured alongside Role Model, Mon Rovîa, Stella Lefty, Joshua Slone, Ben Kweller, and
Haffway, and is slated to appear at festivals including Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Borderland Music
Festival, Bourbon & Beyond, and AMERICANAFEST in 2026.
