India Ramey is a commanding live performer whose blend of outlaw swagger and Southern Gothic intensity has made her a standout on stages across the country. Freshly signed to Copaco/Blue Élan Records, Ramey is entering a powerful new era, backed by producer and label head Eric Corne and with a brand new album out, she is hitting the road.
Known for shows that balance grit, dark humor, and high-energy honky-tonk fire, Ramey has appeared at major national events including AmericanaFest, SXSW, Twangfest (with The Vandoliers), the Outlaw Country Cruise, and the Honky Tonkin’ in Queens Riverboat Cruise. She has toured nationally and internationally, supporting artists such as Corb Lund, Maggie Rose, and Silverada, and continues to build loyal followings across clubs, listening rooms, and festival stages.
Praised by Rolling Stone (“10 New Country Artists You Need To Know”) and hailed by Saving Country Music as “the kind of artist who might actually haul off and do it,” Ramey has earned a reputation for shows that cut straight to the bone—equal parts electric, cathartic, and fiercely engaging. Her 2024 album Baptized By the Blaze became her most celebrated yet, landing on year-end lists from No Depression, American Songwriter, and Saving Country Music.
With a new label partnership and fresh material ready to roll out, India Ramey is poised for a breakout touring cycle in 2026 and into 2027. With honky-tonk swagger, dark storytelling, and an undeniable stage presence, her live show is raw, cinematic, and impossible to forget.

The Waymores are Atlanta-based married honky tonk Americana duo Kira Annalise and Willie Heath Neal. Media fans include Vintage Guitar who said "While 21st-century Nashville pays lip service to this timeless sound, the Waymores keep it alive" and the Austin Chronicle asserted "The Waymores... combine the bright and brash like June Carter and Johnny Cash..." They are gearing up to release their stunning new long player Greener Pastures on 8/25/23 via Chicken Ranch Records.
The collection was recorded with legendary producer Shel Talmy.
Talmy is a record producer, songwriter and arranger best known for his 1960's work with The Who, The Kinks, David Bowie and many others. In an interview with musician/producer/songwriter Artie Wayne, Talmy says "I'm a hands-on producer, meaning that I always work with the artist on choosing material, doing the arrangements, getting musicians if necessary, choosing the studio and being there for the entire production on through the mixes and mastering." He took the same approach with The Waymores.
Once in Los Angeles, the session was engineered by Grammy award winning guitar player, composer, engineer and songwriter Johnny Lee Schell whose tremendous resume includes work with Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, BB King and Delbert McClinton amongst others.
