Joshua Hedley..
´Pound for pound, there´s no better unsigned artist working in Nashville today. A nuanced, heart-tugging fiddle ace – he was playing in bars before age 11 – Hedley has been the go-to sideman for Justin Townes Earle and Jonny Fritz. And his voice – he guests on the new track “Shadows“ by Southern rapper Yelawolf – is just as striking, a warm, smooth baritone that´s nonetheless capable of hitting honky-tonk highs. As such, Hedley has become a fixture of the bars on Lower Broadway, particularly the classic-country outpost Robert´s Western World, which he calls “my spot forever, no matter what happens.“ Should Jack White be looking to sign the male counterpart to Margo Price, he needn´t look any further.´ (Rolling Stone Magazine)
