SHOW ALERT: KASHUS CULPEPPER COMES HOME

HEADLINES BIRMINGHAM’S SATURN NEXT FRIDAY (10/11) ON HIS HOWLIN’ UNDER THE HARVEST MOON TOUR

WHO: Alabama-born country crooner Kashus Culpepper encompasses the sound of the South. A student and reverent purveyor of Southern music – country, soul, blues, folk, and rock – Culpepper’s husky, sandpaper growl bellows like a freight train over self-penned stories that are as raw and real as they are haunting. Finding his voice in church as young as five years old, it wasn’t until 2020’s global pandemic that Culpepper went from listener to performer, picking up a guitar and learning cover songs to play at barrack bonfires in Rota, Spain during his deployment with the Navy. Covers soon became originals, and once he landed home on U.S. shores, Kash played dive bars up and down the Mississippi Gulf Coast, making a name for himself with the fresh-yet-reminiscent sound that oozes from his very being. Crashing into prominence now, Culpepper has already sold-out headline club shows throughout the South despite never formally releasing a single song, also opening shows nationwide for sound pioneers like Charles Wesley Godwin, Charley Crockett, and NEEDTOBREATHE. With Nashville taking notice, Culpepper found a musical home at Big Loud Records, and just dropped his first three career singles “After Me?,” “Who Hurt You,” and “Out Of My Mind.” MusicRow hails Culpepper as “thoroughly gripping,” and with the promise of more music on the way in 2024, The Tennessean predicts how one of their 10 Nashville artists you need to know for 2024’s“forthcoming material could offer…significant acclaim.”

OPENER: Coleman Jennings

WHAT: A can’t miss homecoming show — Culpepper’s first Birmingham headliner since signing with Big Loud Records and dropping his first three singles with the label. With “a style governed by a controlled sound and fury” (The Tennessean), Culpepper has already been praised as “a force of nature” (Whiskey Riff) despite debuting only a few months ago. Billboard adds: “He inhabits a country-blues amalgam in similar musical terrain as country / Americana stalwarts such as Marcus King and Chris Stapleton, while infusing his work with his signature muscular, sandpapery growl.”
