MAR 22 – Trae Sheehan

Saturday, March 22 at 7:30 pm (doors open 7:00)

Born amidst the rustic splendor of an Alpaca farm, Trae Sheehan was raised in the gentle embrace of nature’s bounty. But even as a lad, his heart yearned for a life beyond the rolling hills and verdant valleys.

From a tender age, he discovered his love for the melodies that danced upon the winds, whispering secrets of the world around him. He would spend hours beneath the starry canopy, strumming his guitar and composing songs that told tales of love, loss, and the wonders of life. His voice, smooth as the air, carry his ballads far and wide.

In 2019, Trae Sheehan’s album Arizona soared to the Top 10 on the Roots Radio Charts, casting his warming melodies far and wide. With lyrics as vast as the woodland landscape, the album echoed through valleys and towns, drawing listeners to the troubadour’s stage. His songs, imbued with the timeless spirit of the road, spoke to their hearts, soothing their worries and kindling the fires of hope.

His 2020 follow-up record, Postcards from the Country, earned praise from the likes of American Songwriter Magazine, PopMatters, and The Bluegrass Situation, solidifying Trae’s place in the musical world. But it was 2021’s Hello From the End of the World that truly marked his ascent. Featuring the fan-favorite “Sleeveless Hearts,” the album charted in the Top 100 on the Americana Radio Charts.

Through bustling cities and quaint hamlets, Trae has crafted his talent. Drawing townsfolk from far and near to witness his enchanting performances, his heart forever entwined with the thrill of touring, for it is on the road that he has discovered the true essence of his being. From the grandest stages to the humblest street corners, he performs and sings with a passion unmatched. His troubadour’s soul finding solace in the applause of a jubilant crowd and in the quiet moments of reflection beneath a starlit sky.

His upcoming 15-song LP ‘Whispers of the Townfolk’ will be released later this year.
