Event Details

An associate of Florida Georgia Line -- he first gained attention in Nashville as the songwriter of "New Truck" and "Countryside," two of their latter-day hits -- Redferrin sounds a bit like FGL's wiry, playful little brother. Ratcheting up the group's light electronic underpinnings and adding a defiant edge to his Southern drawl, Redferrin updated bro country for the 2020s, making it bolder and slicker. That shift was apparent on his breakthrough single "Jack and Diet Coke," a simmering party anthem pulled from Old No. 7, his debut EP released early in 2024. Born Blake Redferrin in White House, Tennessee, Redferrin spent his formative years devoted to dirt bikes, carving out a spot on the professional motocross circuit. By his early twenties, a serious crash made him feel the collected weight of his repeated injuries, so he decided to pursue music. He started playing guitar years earlier, when his father brought him home a Gibson, but it was his retirement from motocross that spurred him to write songs. Motocross nevertheless played a pivotal part in his musical development. Shortly into his creative endeavors, he reconnected with Tyler Hubbard, the Florida Georgia Line star who races dirt bikes in his spare time. Hubbard hired Redferrin for Tree Vibez Music, the publishing company owned by Hubbard and his FGL partner Brian Kelley, in 2019. While on Tree Vibez, Redferrin co-wrote Florida Georgia Line's "New Truck" and "Countryside," Nelly's "Lil Bit," and Dean Brody & the Reklaws' "I Can't Help Myself," a country smash in Canada. After spending two years as a professional songwriter at Tree Vibez Music, Redferrin started independently issuing singles. Over the course of 2021, he released three singles -- "Red in My Last Name," "Wouldn't Hurt," "Stuck" -- then delivered two subsequent tunes ("Tell 'Em Why" and "Doin' Good") before signing with Warner Music Nashville in the middle of 2022. After releasing "Mossy Oak" and "Downhome Dreams," he issued "Jack and Diet Coke," the light yet moody single that attracted millions of streaming spins after its release in June 2023. "Jack and Diet Coke" anchored Old No. 7, an EP released in February 2024. Old No. 7 also featured the singles "Miss Summer" and "Doin' Life" -- the latter was released as a promotional single preceding the release of the EP.

This new single series has been very rewarding. Although we really enjoyed the process of writing a full cohesive album with ‘Everything In Gold,’ this time around putting out a song when it’s done and getting that immediate feedback has been great,” Joe Zorzi, lead singer for Modern Chemistry reflects. In 2018 the New Jersey natives released ‘Take A Second’ and ‘Swimmers’ both fully funded and released independently. The New Jersey band has accomplished a lot in the few years since forming. They have self-released a great collection of music and videos. They toured North America with Frank Iero and his band in 2015 and also played shows with Northern Faces, Motion City Soundtrack and John Nolan. They toured with Mayday Parade in 2016. In 2017 they supported Taking Back Sunday and Every Time I Die across the US. They have played some major festivals including SXSW, South By So What, Gentlemen of the Road and Chicago’s Riot Fest. They even did two World Tours of New Jersey. The band has always stayed busy even while finishing school and working odd jobs to support themselves. This includes self-releasing a few EP’s, each one bringing a new audience and rave reviews, including two covers of local weekly The Aquarian and many ‘Best Of’ year-end lists. Adam Lazzara. of Taking Back Sunday fame, went even further than simply offering up a few opening touring slots. He produced the 2016 EP, ‘Dreaming Adjacent.’ “They were trusting me with their music. They work so hard and treated every decision, no matter how small, with a lot of thought and great care. I’m very proud that they were gracious enough to let me into the process,’ said Adam. In between dates promoting Dreaming Adjacent, the band recorded its first full length album with Paul Leavitt (The Dangerous Summer, Have Mercy). “That record is all about taking a step back to look at all of your past mistakes, all of your regrets, and all of your accomplishments. Realizing that no matter what you're dealing with, there's a way to become better from it,” said Zorzi. When asked to expand on some of the inspirations behind the tracks, Zorzi continued. “The song ‘Everything In Gold’ captured a new feeling for us. It feels like a reawakening for our band. We've been working with moody ups and downs in our songs since the beginning and this song takes that structure to new heights. ‘St. Rain’ is a type of song I've been wanting to write for a long time. It's got some really lively verses, and a classic half time chorus. There's a lot more of a noticeable influence from Kings of Leon and other great bands that might not be as apparent in some of our older material,” he states. It's an exciting time for the band, as they look towards the future. "We're excited to get back in the studio and finish up our next album," Zorzi says. "Everything's becoming more and more cohesive and it feels like we're making our most fully realized songs to date. Header image credit Dana Why
