Special Guest: DASHER’s sound promises to take you somewhere familiar, nostalgic, and honest enough to feel new. When you listen, we hope you feel a little closer to home.
DASHER is a brother-sister duo from the misty mountains of Black Mountain, North Carolina. Listening to legends like John Prine and The Band at a young age, Max and Laela Dasher learned to blend the timeless art of storytelling with dynamic vocals and haunting harmonies only family can create. Each song is a mosaic of the places that shaped them: the wooden church pew where they first learned to harmonize, the muddy Louisiana river that raised them, and the Appalachian ridges that taught them folk music. They have been storytelling their way through Nashville since their move in 2023 and have inspired many with their family harmonies and authentic stories.
Tennessee born troubadour Larry Fleet grew up on a stack of records that spun everything from Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson to Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye. That mix shaped a sound rooted in country storytelling but unafraid to reach beyond its borders. A thoughtful songwriter with a knack for sharp one-liners, sturdy hooks, and a powerhouse voice that cuts straight to the truth, Fleet was working blue-collar jobs long before ever landing a record deal.
A devout family man and respected songwriter (including co-writing “Man Made A Bar, “recorded by Morgan Wallen featuring Eric Church), Fleet has built an impressive catalog: 2019’s aptly titled Workin’ Hard, 2021’s Stack of Records— and to the music that raised him— 2023’s Earned It with the standout “Things I Take for Granted,” and now 2025’s independently released Hard Work & Holy Water.
Fleet is doing things his own way—touring globally, connecting with fans, and staying true to where he’s from while taking country music somewhere new.
