Predicated on authenticity and a genre-less approach, Dalton Kiser and The Downwind seamlessly traverses through a multi genre musical landscape. The foursome not only pulls inspiration from their fellow Eastern Kentuckians whom are credited with birthing the country and bluegrass scenes, but also from the gritty southern rock sounds made famous by old honky-tonk hero’s and outlaw country icons. Constantly pushing boundaries and breaking barriers, this troupe truly marches to the beat of their own drum. If there is only one hard truth when it comes to Dalton Kiser and The Down-wind, we can be sure their undeniable chemistry and reckless authenticity is a refreshing stance, and above all, one that stands to last.

From Pound, VA, Brayden Mullins started his music journey at the age of 17 in his bedroom. He drew in-spiration from many artists such as Keith Whitley, The Stanley Brothers and James King. While bluegrass was a main drawing to music for Brayden he also listened to artists such as Pink Floyd, Korn, Alison Krauss and Townes Van Zandt to name a few. The lyrics and stories behind songs is what makes music come alive according to Brayden.
Brayden aims to captivate the mind and ear of the audience with his songs. He wants his songs to challenge the thinking of those who hear them and for them to fully understand the message behind what is being said. His debut album “Unfamiliar Writings” fully encompasses this with his 8 originals tracks. These songs have only two instruments (acoustic guitar and fiddle), but they will bring you through the life of those within the songs.
