His heartfelt lyrics and melodies have struck a chord of relatability he’s witnessed on the road on support dates with artists such as Riley Green.\nWhen the pandemic hit in 2020\, Aidan used the time to discover his passion for playing the guitar\, and he started singing and writing songs. In two short years\, he started growing a following on social media platforms and released his first single\, “The Idea Of Me\,” in April of 2022. Since then\, Aidan has released six additional singles\, an album and his music has nearly 3 million streams. Aidan’s heartfelt lyrics and melodies are what make his music relatable to his fans.\nFeatured in country music YouTuber and critic Grady Smith’s “Best Music Under the Radar of 2023\,” Canfield’s growing popularity has also led to his first CMAFest performance on the Hard Rock Stage and a feature on the Tidal Wave Festival in Atlantic City.\nDavid Pugh is a singer-songwriter based in College Station\, Texas. He started making music at 20 with the release of his first single\, With You Gone. After putting out two EPs\, he took a step back from performing and releasing music to focus on writing and finding his sound.\nNow\, after a few quiet years\, he’s gearing up to release his debut full-length album on June 6th. So far\, he’s shared three singles from the project—Alone\, Ready\, and Down the Line—which reflect a more focused and refined take on his alternative folk style.\nThe new music leans into honest songwriting with a simple\, polished sound—something that feels true to where he is now\, both personally and musically.
