Details:
Jack Blocker is an Americana singer-songwriter whose music is rooted in sincerity, storytelling, and a deep love for his home state of Texas. Drawing inspiration from Texan legends like Townes Van Zandt, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson, Blocker describes his music as “friendly, honest, and Texan” — a reflection of both his lyrical style and the atmosphere of his live shows. Whether he’s jumping around on stage with a full band or singing solo with just an acoustic guitar, Blocker’s performances are captivating and compelling. “My goal is to give some new life to each song that only exists in that moment,” he says. One particularly memorable show in Nashville was performed completely unplugged after lightning took out the power at the venue. The crowd stayed, lit the room with phone lights, and Blocker played the full hour-long set without any mics or production. “It was a really special evening,” he says. Blocker’s highly anticipated debut album, The Land On Most High, is available now on his own label, Elbow Grease Records. Recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium Studio B by Mitch Furr and produced by Patrick Lyons (Colter Wall, Josh Meloy, Noeline Hofmann) , the album establishes Blocker among the most compelling emerging voices in country music. “The Land On Most High is a collection of nostalgic daydreams,” says Blocker. “It’s a picture that’s painted using hundreds of little memories and moments—the driveway basketball games, motel naps, homemade slip ‘n slides, and trailside snacks that seemed insignificant at the time but continually creep back around to scratch my brain.” Blocker is focused on building a lasting community around his music, staying true to his voice, and continuing to write songs that will be remembered when people look back on folk/country music from this era. He says, “My hope is that the deeper I dive into my own memories through these songs, the more vividly each person listening will imagine theirs.” Website • Instagram • Facebook • Youtube • Spotify • Apple Music • Bandcamp Natalie McMahon is a rising country/folk singer-songwriter born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. Drawing from both classic country influences and modern indie-folk textures, her music captures themes of home, memory, and growing pains with a raw, conversational honesty. Growing up in the North, she embraced what she calls her “northern cowgirl” roots, shaped by long drives, longer winters, and a deep connection to her family, which became the backbone of her songwriting voice. McMahon found her footing as a performer early, building a reputation for emotionally charged live shows and sharp, evocative lyrics. Her debut single ‘Celestial Heartbreak’ garnered early success, pushing her to continue creating and releasing. Natalie has played more than 100 live shows, including her arena performance of ‘Angels Among Us’ for Penn State’s THON, where she sang for a crowd of more than 15,000. Currently, Natalie is a 2026 Artist in Residence at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, playing weekly shows and learning from industry professionals. In addition to pursuing her music career, Natalie is an honors student at Penn State University studying Music Technology and Journalism. She is balancing her experience onstage with work behind the scenes, producing and audio engineering for Penn State students and local musicians alike. She cannot wait to share more of her music with the world, and plans to release her debut studio album this fall. Website • Instagram • Apple Music • Spotify • Youtube
