about

  • Jayce Turley has the stories of someone twice his age.

    The 19-year-old Greenup County, Kentucky, native has already been entrenched in his state's storied music scene for years, both as a fan and as a performer. He attended his first concert at the age of two, began playing at six, and founded his backing band, Cardinal Point, at 16. The seven songs on Turley's new album, Broke Down, mix blues and honky-tonk sounds with genuine songwriting that offers a glimpse at Turley's bluegrass past. His "truly Appalachian" vibe "represents the upcoming generation's eyes forward" while "drawing inspiration from both modern musicians inspired by vintage sounds and the vintage sounds that paved the road for those influences" (The AMP).

    In the few years since his debut EP, Jayce has shared bills with accomplished artists including Marty Stuart, Town Mountain, Morgan Wade, Joshua Ray Walker, 49 Winchester, Ward Davis, Cole Chaney, Nolan Taylor, Drayton Farley, The Red Clay Strays, and many more
