Tyler Halverson live at Stockyard

Born and raised in the tiny town of Canton, SD (pop. 3054), Tyler Halverson isn’t just any cowboy. He’s got the hat and the boots, but he also plays a mean guitar and writes an even meaner tune. He has no problem bouncing around the country chasing adventure (or a girl), and is telling his different kind of cowboy tale, bridging honest storytelling with songcraft inspired by country powerhouses Garth Brooks, George Strait, and Hayes Carll as much as Boyz II Men, Taking Back Sunday, and The Used.  Halverson fell in thrall to music at an early age, receiving his first guitar while in middle school. A local bluegrass festival convinced him to focus on music, throwing down at 4H and FFA festivals before heading to Nashville to attend the prestigious Belmont University. Upon graduation, he decided to hit the road and spent an extended run traveling around South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming, all the while writing and playing his songs on social media. Halverson’s original approach caught fire with a string of independent releases including “Beer Garden Baby,” “Mac Miller,” and “Your Bar Now” (with Kylie Frey). Must be 21–with valid ID

Taylor Hunnicutt live at Stockyard

Taylor Hunnicutt makes old-school southern music for the modern world. She’s a proud daughter of Alabama, writing songs that nod to the state’s tradition of country storytelling, rock ‘n’ roll rebellion, and guitar-driven grit. Sharpened by a touring schedule that’s kept her on the road for roughly 200 days a year, she makes her full-length debut with Alabama Sound — an album that unfolds like a love letter to the American South, written by a road warrior who’s spent most of the decade far away from home. “It’s a little country, a little singer/songwriter, a little Americana, and a lot of soulful southern rock,” says Hunnicutt, an opera-trained vocalist who began writing songs after dropping out of music school, landing a waitressing job at a blues juke joint, and sitting in with the bands that came through town. She’s no longer the guest artist, though — she’s the main act, and Alabama Sound showcases her high-energy, hellraising brand of southern stomp, country-rock twang, and amplified attitude.

Bill Taylor & the Appalachian Heatherns w/ special guest Aaron Walker live at Stockyard

On the outskirts of Middlesboro, KY is where you will most likely hear the astounding voice of Bill Taylor on any given evening, while he’s outside enjoying nature with his family. Bill was born and raised in Middlesboro with his 4 siblings. His parents were blue-collar mountain people and gave Bill that “work hard for what you want” mindset. He always says “we were never rich, but daddy always made sure he gave us what we needed and we never did without”. Bill’s humble upbringing rings through in the writing that he does. His entire family is filled with truly gifted musicians, but Bill decided to step out into the spotlight with his gift   and try to use what he says is his “God given ability”.   In his very short music career, Bill has already seen a lot of success. He has played some highly respected venues and has opened for several highly respected artists. He crushed his first audition on America’s Got Talent with millions of views. As of recent, he is working on his debut album with Zach McCord (Charles Wesley Godwin). He has also just released his debut EP “The Cumberland Ave Sessions” that has been given some high praise and is starting to gain traction in the country music world. Bill and his band the Appalachian Heatherns are a group that you are going to want to pay attention to. Must be 21–with valid ID
