NATE FREDERICK
Nate Fredrick’s debut album Different Shade of Blue opened doors he never thought possible since its release in 2021. Racking up almost 7 million cumulative streams across platforms and introducing him as a force to be reckoned with in the Nashville music scene. The following release of a self-titled EP was backed by The Wholesome Boys. This collaboration ushered in a new phase and sound for Nate. This allowed them to travel the country and find their true unified sound on the road, writing together as a unit, while supporting artists like Morgan Wade, Muscadine Bloodline, and Clint Black. In January 2024, the stage was set for The Wholesome Boys’ debut album to be recorded in NYC (Producer Ben Rice) with Nate as the frontman of a fully realized rock outfit. They had broken away from the country southern rock tones and found a voice of their own inspired by Bruce Springsteen, The Killers, Interpol, and The Clash. While a sophomore solo record may be on the horizon for Nate, The Wholesome Boys have become an all-encompassing movement, full of energy and extensive touring, whilst debuting this 10-song debut to the world.

DAVE KENNEDY (Host)
Dave Kennedy is a storyteller above all else, and it’s easy to see why. His songs paint a cinematic portrait of America as his characters journey through love, heartbreak, humor, sin, redemption, revenge, and perhaps even a few of the songwriter’s own footsteps along the way. Bringing these songs to life is a voice so soaring and powerful you can’t help but be swept away into his world by the end of the first chorus. He navigates his way through each story and each world with a dynamic presence of both strength and subtlety that appreciates both the peaks and the valleys, the highways and the backroads, the loves lost and lingering in his mind. It’s for all these reasons that Dave has a reputation as one of Nashville’s most respected songwriters and artists, and why artists like TRAVIS TRITT, RILEY GREEN, WHISKEY MYERS, DRAKE WHITE, LARRY FLEET, and others are eager to continue writing and performing with Dave Kennedy.
