About Briscoe

Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify 

If Briscoe's debut album was a coming-of-age soundtrack set against the backdrop of the Texas Hill Country, then its follow-up, Heat of July, is the sound of a fully-formed duo chasing down a broader horizon. Inspired by marriage, landscapes, and the cross-country tours that took the band across America, these new songs were written on the road, as eclectic and evocative as the terrain that unfolded just outside the van's windshield. Once again, Briscoe teamed up with Grammy-nominated producer Brad Cook to bring the songs to life, collaboratively creating a record that expands Briscoe's folk-rock sound in all directions. There are bigger arrangements, sharper vocal harmonies, and enough top-tier guest musicians — including members of Houndmouth, Hiss Golden Messenger, Bon Iver, Mipso, and Watchhouse — to form their own supergroup. The result is a cinematic, widescreen version of American roots music, created by two lifelong friends who've learned to distill the thrill of the open road — and the challenges of growing up — into an ever-evolving soundtrack.

About Jack Blocker

Website | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify 

Jack Blocker is an Americana singer-songwriter whose music is rooted in sincerity, storytelling, and a deep love for his home state of Texas. Picking up a guitar at age 16, Jack honed his skills and found his voice by playing in his church band. That early experience sparked a journey of songwriting and self-expression that followed him to college in Arkansas, where he began crafting his first original songs. With a push from a friend, he recorded his first tracks in 2018, and he’s been carving his own path ever since.

Drawing inspiration from Texan legends like Townes Van Zandt, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson, Jack 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, Jack’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.

After releasing his debut single “Big Jefe” in August 2023, Jack competed as a contestant on season 22 of American Idol. First appearing on the show with a memorable performance of his original song “I Was Wong,” Jack continued to impress the judges and delight audiences, ultimately placing third on the nationally televised show.
