📸 KYSHONA x AMERICANAFEST 📸

There’s only one way to close out Kyshona Music's AMERICANAFEST TAKEOVER and that’s with the legend herself!!

In addition to being our Extra Specia Guest Correspodent -this incredible musician was also an Official Showcasing Artist herself!

Kyshona has always lent her voice and music to those who feel they have been silenced or forgotten. She began her career as a music therapist, writing her first songs with the patients under her care, including students, the elderly, and inmates. She soon found the need to write independently and discover her own voice, an endeavor which led her to the fertile ground of the Nashville creative community and songwriting culture. Since then, she has learned how to balance her music career with her passion to heal the hurting.

Audiences will find a common thread of empowerment, overcoming adversity, and finding hope in her work.

In 2024, Kyshona released her latest LP, “Legacy”
via Soundly Music . The album is inspired by Kyshona’s genealogical research into her family, including five generations traced through the 1860 Census Slave Schedules at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History & Culture.

Serving as both a personal history and an invitation for collective healing, Kyshona crafted this album about legacy to capture the character, essence, and honest stories of her ancestors and family, so that generations to come will have something to hold onto. “Maybe tracking my family’s stories into song will be a healing for not only me, but others who feel untethered or isolated, removed from their origins,” she says.” My hope is we can rediscover the past together, and in doing so, understand more about ourselves in the future.”

📸 AMERICANAFEST TAKEOVER THURSDAY WITH KYSHONA! 📸

We wish we were back at AMERICANAFEST! It's Americana music's biggest (and most fun!) week of the year so we brought in a wildly talented friend to help us capture the sights, sounds, faces and places that makes Americanafest so special!

We invited Kyshona Music to serve as our Extra Special Guest Correspondent and she DELIVERED!

Visit our Facebook + Insta throughout the day on THROWBACK THURSDAY, 10/9 as Kyshona helps us take an incredible look back at one of our favorite weeks of the year!

Kyshona has always lent her voice and music to those who feel they have been silenced or forgotten.

Grammy-winning, Emmy-nominated multi-hyphenate Grey DeLisle-Griffin will release “It’s All Her Fault: A Tribute To Cindy Walker by Grey DeLisle & Friends', on 10/10 via Hummin’bird Records!

The project is both a love letter to a legendary songwriter & a rallying cry for preservation.

DeLisle who served as the album’s Executive Producer & appears on 1 of its tracks, cites Walker as her greatest musical influence. After learning that Walker’s childhood home in Mexia, Texas had fallen into disrepair, she gathered friends to record a few of Walker’s hits to raise awareness & funds to support the home’s restoration.

ALL streaming proceeds from the album will benefit Cindy Walker Foundation.
💌 https://www.cindywalkerfoundation.org/

One of the most important and prolific women in country music history, an estimated 500 of Walker’s songs have been recorded[ and her songs made the top-40 country or pop charts more than 400 times by legends like Bob Wills, Roy Orbison, Eddy Arnold, and Willie Nelson, who devoted an entire album ("You Don’t Know Me: The Songs of Cindy Walker") to her work.

A member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, she brought a rare mix of craft and emotional depth to her songwriting, helping define the golden era of country music from the 1940s onward.

DeLisle honors that legacy with an all-star lineup of women in country & roots music: Katie Shore Music, Summer Dean, Amythyst Kiah, Rosie Flores, Kelly Willis, Brennen Leigh, Melissa Carper, Mandy Barnett, Gail Davies, Jolie Holland, Ginny Mac
+ more, each lending their voice to Walker’s timeless catalog.

Grey DeLisle turns out songs the way Stephen King turns out novels, the way Krispy Kreme delivers donuts: sweet, satisfying, & seemingly endless. “Prolific” hardly begins to describe the this singer-songwriter, whose creative output rivals her long career as one of Hollywood’s most celebrated voice actors (The Simpsons, Scooby-Doo, SpongeBob SquarePants) & her life as a mom of three.

After years focused on voice acting, DeLisle’s songwriting fire was reignited during the solitude of 2020. Working alongside her longtime collaborator Murry Hammond of Old 97’s, she penned the songs for her 2025 double LP, The Grey Album.

With “It’s All Her Fault”, Grey DeLisle proves once again that her artistry knows no bounds - bridging eras, uniting voices, and keeping the legacy of Cindy Walker alive for generations to come!

🌠 DEBUT ALBUM SPOTLIGHT x JAKE & SHELBY 🌠

Singer-songwriter duo Jake & Shelby will release their dreamlike debut studio album "Learning To Love" via EMPIRE.Nashville on 10/10!

A showcase of earworm pop melodies, heart-warming harmonies & shapeshifting rhythms, the 12-track LP is the perfect soundtrack for anyone who has ever found themselves tangled in love. Thematically, it explores all facets of love; falling in, falling out, chasing, questioning, & surrendering to it.

They beautifully capture both the highs & lows of relationships with an honest & emotionally-charged delivery on raw yet polished songs that also oscillate between vulnerability & confidence

When Jake & Shelby first burst onto the scene in early 2022, the Nashville-based duo instantly brightened the pop landscape with a truly revelatory breath of fresh air.

Both still in high school at the time, Jake Lawson & Shelby Hiam showed a musical sophistication well beyond their years—an element made all the more stunning by their sweetly unassuming presence, as well as the wide-eyed perspective & warmhearted sensitivity that infuses all of their lyrics.

Speaking on the inspiration behind the album and meaning of its title, Jake & Shelby explain, “While a lot of this album is about learning to love someone else, a bigger part of it is about learning to love yourself. It’s about learning to love yourself enough to leave what isn’t good for you. Learning to choose someone who will truly care for you. Learning to love yourself enough to work through trauma from your past. To fully love someone else, the first step is learning to love yourself, and that’s what this album means to us. We hope this album can meet people wherever they are. Whether they’re in a relationship or not, we want them to feel seen.”

What started as a few simple social posts of acoustic duets has led to a global following for Jake & Shelby!

Fresh-faced with a mesmerizing pop sound & heartfelt lyrics, they quickly gained a devoted fan base, including notable figures in entertainment such as Michael Bublé, Gracie Abrams, & the Kardashians.

Jake & Shelby have broadened their sonic palette while doubling down on the soul-baring quality of their lyrics. The duo’s latest material embraces a far more elaborately detailed sound, often adorning their unguarded self-expression with otherworldly textures, shapeshifting rhythms, & gently inventive guitar tone

After devoting the last few years to refining & expanding their songwriting & sound, Jake & Shelby are now set to deliver a new body of work that showcases the extraordinary depth of their artistry for the very first time, all while preserving the effortless charm they’ve embodied from the start!

We can always count on discovering the coolest bands when our friends at Easy Eye Sound throw their annual Americanafest Fish Fry at American Legion Post 82!

This year we had a chance to experience the spiciest!

Meet The Animeros ! Who brought the Latin heat to one of our favorite events of the year!

Hailing from Austin, Texas, The Animeros – Nick Tozzo (drummer and percussionist), Nicolas Sanchez (bassist), & Mauro Lopez (guitarist) craft a genre-blending sound that drifts between the lush jungles of Colombia, the palm-lined streets of 1960s coastal Mexico, & the dusty cantinas of West Texas.

Since forming in 2024, the band has quickly struck a chord with audiences and tastemakers alike—including Dan Auerbach, who invited them into his Easy Eye SoundStudio after seeing the band at SXSW.

With musical notes that span well beyond genres like bolero, psychedelic, & cumbia, The Animeros not only make their audience hit the dance floor, they invite their listeners & tastemakers alike to a glimpse of their rich cultural upbringing.

Sanchez’s Colombian roots, growing up listening to his parents’ beloved salsa & cumbia; Lopez’s parents’ Mexican & American discography, which spanned from traditional Tejano to improvised jazz; and Tozzo’s love for American and Latin music, the latter stemming from his college years, leading him to study & live in Colombia to experience music greats first-handedly.

All of this, paired with their undeniable chemistry & meshed with their now hometown Austin’s innovative creative sounds has led them to create the unique sonic movement that is The Animeros, a name inspired by Colombian shamans who would usher lost souls to their peace.

It’s where South Texas soul and 1960s Columbian cumbia rhythms meet up in a gritty barroom in Mexico, where the drinks flow and the dance floor is electric!

Check out their music.
Including their newest single “Terlingua” here!
