Fred Wilhelm is an award-winning songwriter/singer originally from New England. He grew up on a family farm where his duties included feeding the chickens and carting out a wheelbarrow of cow manure every day before school. The latter experience has proved extremely useful in the music business. Although his songs have been recorded by a multitude of multiplatinum superstars (like Rascal Flatts, Lindsay Ell, Walker Hayes, Faith Hill, Little Big Town, Trace Adkins, Randy Travis and more), as well as highly revered Americana artists (like Lori McKenna, Matthew Perryman Jones, Mindy Smith and others), featured in film and television, and played on stages the world over, he considers his greatest professional accomplishment to be avoiding a day job since 1999. He is a prolific writer, creating well over 100 copyrights a year, and a regular performer at The Bluebird Cafe and other listening rooms.

BOWEN * YOUNG, the Nashville-based musical duo comprising of Clare Bowen and Brandon Robert Young, have embarked on an enchanting journey that seamlessly weaves the fates of two extraordinary souls. Clare, a radiant star from rural Australia known for her role as Scarlett on the hit TV series “Nashville,” and Brandon, a melody-spinner from Connecticut, found their destinies entwined in the heart of Nashville. Their musical odyssey began in 2013 when Brandon, a last-minute replacement, shared the stage with Clare at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. The unique chemistry discovered that night marked the inception of a musical partnership destined for prominence. Two years later, love took center stage at Ryman Auditorium, where Brandon proposed, and in 2017, John Carter Cash officiated their union at the Cash Cabin. Their collaborative journey, guided by acclaimed Americana songwriter/producer Sean McConnell, resulted in the creation of 'Us,' a 10-track masterpiece capturing the raw essence of their emotions. From facing adversity with the haunting single 'Dangerous Love' to the global resonance of their ethereal songs, BOWEN * YOUNG's symphony of life and art resonates with boundless passion, culminating in the highly anticipated debut album set for a global release on May 3rd, via Snakefarm/PIAS.
