Uncle B's Damned Ole Opry is Bryan Simpson's irreverent trippy-trad tent revival of a musical experience currently in residence in the Neon Steeple at Chief's on Broadway in Nashville, Tennessee, It’s Billy Strings meets Barnum & Bailey, He-Haw meets Half-Baked. In short, a serious musical circus. Uncle B assembles an A-List of Nashville’s finest talent (past guests have included  Charlie Worsham, Dan Tyminski, Sierra Hull, Trey Hensley, Caitlyn Smith, The Band Loula, Ashley Monroe, Jason Carter, Suzanne Cox, Ashley Gorley, Sarah Buxton, Brit Taylor, Sam Williams among many others), while B and his guests  tackles a new music assignment each show. This month Uncle B and his guests take on the legendary Alabama’s songbook! WebsiteDrake White Drake White grew up singing in his church’s youth choir in Alabama before becoming one of Country music’s most spirited innovators, earning four Top 40 hits and traveling the country on multiple nationwide tours. His 2013 debut single “Simple Life” introduced his brand of Country soul,which he cemented with 2016 debut album SPARK followed by the EPs ‘Pieces’ and ‘Stars.’ In August 2019, he collapsed on stage due to a hemorrhagic stroke, and doctors told him he might never perform again. After undergoing a series of operations to repair his Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) and months of physiotherapy, White has proved them wrong, embarking on his The Optimystic Tour to spread his incredible positivity to his fans. New songs “Power of a Woman” and “Giants” are the latest tastes of new music from White, who has received accolades including Rolling Stone’s 10 Country Artists You Need to Know, The Grammy’s Artist of Tomorrow and the British CMA Awards’ International Song of the Year. He has shared the bill with Country music superstars like Luke Bryan, Eric Church and Zac Brown Band. Thad Cockrell Thad Cockrell has been releasing music both under his own name and with his band LEAGUES for two decades; while also a collaborative songwriter who has written with the likes of Joy Williams (GRAMMY-nominated album Front Porch), Devon Gilfillian, and Joseph, among others. Cockrell was personally invited by Jimmy Fallon to perform with The Roots on The Tonight Show, after Fallon discovered Cockrell’s song “Swingin’” by Shazaming it in a hardware store. “It became my anthem,” Fallon said. “Because I’m like, when you want to give up, don’t give up! If you’re going to go down, you go down swingin’! This is my anthem, I love this song.” Cockrell’s 2020 solo album 'If In Case You Feel the Same,' which features “Swingin’,” was produced mainly by Tony Berg (career spans Phoebe Bridgers to the Replacements), mixed & engineered by Shawn Everett (Vampire Weekend, Beck, The War on Drugs) and features an all-star backing band throughout - ATO labelmate Brittany Howard (backing vocals on track “Higher”), Blake Mills (guitar), Chris Dave (drums), Matt Chamberlain (drums), Ethan Gruska (piano, synths), Ian Fitchuk (multiple instruments). Buoyed by the support of Brittany Howard, whom he first met over a 4a.m. pitcher of homemade margaritas, Cockrell set to work on his first solo effort in over a decade: an album that exposes his deepest insecurities and weaknesses, all for the sake of creating a transcendent connection with the audience. Reid Haughton Occupying the creative crossroads where country, rock, and soul collide, Reid Haughton is a pure frontman raised on the stage and steeped in rock ‘n’ roll, and a Nashville singer-songwriter working to put gritty live-show magic back where it belongs… at the center of everything. A native of Haleyville, Alabama, (just south of Muscle Shoals), Haughton’s guitar-slinging approach was inspired early on by swampy, swaggering, soulful acts like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Wilson Pickett, The Rolling Stones, Hank Williams Jr., and Jimi Hendrix. Cutting his teeth in the bar scene of Auburn University, he developed a reputation as a fiery frontman and built a grassroots following all over the South. After moving to Nashville in 2020, he embarked on a new, edgier chapter with his self-titled EP debut, produced by Sadler Vaden. Haughton’s debut album, Higher Than Nine, released in May 2024, was built on a punchy, edgy mix of southern rock, country, blues, and soul. This was followed by "Don't Know Any Different" - an acoustic heartfelt tribute to the values passed down through generations, highlighting the importance of respect and love. Reid’s latest release “Somebody To You" is out now. Dee White Dee White is a preservationist. On his new album Heart Talkin’, produced by Grammy-winning Nashville visionary Tony Brown, the 26-year-old singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Slapout, Alabama, is committed to celebrating the people and things that came before. Over 10 tracks, he sings about mischievous old men at a church potluck dinner, laments the way his lover treats him like a discarded paper cup, and ruminates on the lesser qualities of humanity that are passed on through generations. Heart Talkin’ is the follow-up to Dee’s 2020 debut album Southern Gentleman, which paired him with producers Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys and David “Ferg” Ferguson. After beginning his career as a teenager under the encouragement of legendary record man Harold Shedd, Dee has evolved into his own man and artist, touring the world with icons like Alan Jackson and Alison Krauss and with fellow rising stars like Jackson Dean. He represents both the past and the future of country and Americana music.
