Trae Sheehan and Tom Hampton are connected by a shared love of storytelling, Americana, and the open road. The singer-songwriter duo bring their stories from years of touring to create a passionate live performance.

Trae Sheehan is an Appalachian-born singer-songwriter who grew up on an alpaca farm and developed a deep love for music and storytelling. His nomadic, road-inspired style blends themes of love, loss, and life’s journey. His 2019 album Arizona reached the Top 10 on the Roots Radio Charts, while Postcards from the Country (2020) earned critical praise. His 2021 album Hello From the End of the World, featuring “Sleeveless Hearts,” reached the Top 100 on the Americana Radio Charts. Known for his live performances, Trae has built his career around touring and connecting with audiences wherever the road takes him.

Tom Hampton is a Philadelphia-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose career spans decades as a session musician, touring artist, and songwriter. After releasing his acclaimed 1997 debut Our Mutual Angels, Hampton spent years playing with artists including John Lilley, Robert Hazard, the Marshall Tucker Band, and Poco, as well as working as a studio musician.

Following the death of Poco founder Rusty Young and the formation of Cimarron 615, Hampton rediscovered his passion for songwriting. His album A Month Of Somedays reflects that renewed creative voice, blending influences from Jason Isbell, John Moreland, Jackson Browne, and Stephen Stills. The songs explore relationships, resilience, social issues, and the lives of people encountered along the road, drawing from Hampton’s own experiences as a lifelong musician.
