The Cadillac Three

With more than a decade of making records and touring to their credit, The Cadillac Three continue to push boundaries with their self-branded “COUNTRY FUZZ” sound, a singular mixture of country music storytelling and rock ‘n’ roll musicianship. Composed of three Nashville natives who became friends in high school, the group features singer-guitarist Jaren Johnston, drummer Neil Mason, and steel player Kelby Ray, who does double duty on bass. Over the course of their six albums, they’ve dropped southern-fried party anthems that don’t skimp on guitar crunch, nostalgic ballads about growing up, and greasy funk jams that rival the best of them, garnering ACM and CMA International Achievement nominations. Outside of the group, Johnston is an accomplished songwriter and producer, with numerous country radio hits on his résumé (including the Grammy-nominated Tim McGraw cut “Meanwhile Back At Mama's”) and production work including Kip Moore, the Foo Fighters’ Chris Shiflett, and Steven Tyler. On their new, forthcoming album, The Years Go Fast (OCT 27), the trio explores love and loss in equal fashion, never letting off the gas pedal. Catch them live this fall, bringing their high-energy headlining shows stateside on their The Years Go Fast Tour.
