The Gasoline Gypsies
<p>Four-part vocal harmonies, dual lead guitars, and a tasty rhythm section built on drums, bass, and keys make up the music of The Gasoline Gypsies. But, the magic in their music is born of a driving work ethic that has earned them the reputation of being one of the tightest bands on the Mitten Music scene.</p><p>Four part vocal harmonies, dual lead guitars, and a tasty rhythm section built on drums, bass, and keys make up the music of Port Huron Michigan’s The Gasoline Gypsies. But, the real magic in their music is born of a driving work ethic that’s earned them a reputation of being one of the tightest bands on the Mitten Music scene.</p><p>Drawing influence from the roots of rock, folk, bluegrass, and country The Gasoline Gypsies craft a unique style of original Americana Rock. Often evoking themes of nature while engaging mature poetry, they de-sign music to serve songs and build sets that invite listeners to take journeys through self awareness, while breathing in the rhythms of the world around us, and enthusiastically celebrating the joys of life. They are a band with range. The Gasoline Gypsies can plug in and rock large venues, or unplugged they can mesmer-ize small listening rooms.</p><p>The eight time Detroit Music Award winners, are feverishly followed by their fan tribe, The Vagabundos. Find them at a show, and you’ll likely experience an alchemy that draws together the music, the people, and the family that is The Gasoline Gypsies experience.</p><p><br></p>

Trey Hedrick
<p>Episode 248</p><p>First Air 06-28-26</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Trey Hedrick</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Passing Through </p><p>Shoestring</p><p>Appalachia</p><p>Dobbin Mine No.1</p><p>A Better Year</p><p>Me Leavin’ Town (Fragment)</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Trey Hedrick is a modern Appalachian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose sound blends Appalachian folk, Americana, and blue-collar country. Deeply rooted in the storied hills of southeastern Ohio along the West Virginia border, his music is as textured and layered as the region he calls home. Drawing from the landscape and lineage that shaped him, Trey writes with a deep reverence for generational memory, places, and the stories that define us.</p><p><br></p><p>That storytelling comes into full focus on his forthcoming debut album, Sing Appalachia, out Friday, October 17. Recorded in May 2025 at the Tractor Shed in Nashville with GRAMMY-winning producer and engineer Sean Sullivan (Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, John Prine), the record is a testament to Trey’s belief in the power of place and honest songwriting. It also features a special guest appearance by one of Trey’s longtime heroes, Tim O’Brien — a full-circle moment for an artist who grew up studying his records.</p><p><br></p><p>Raised in a proud, working-class family where music was as natural as breathing, Trey’s earliest memories involve instruments constantly moving through the room — a guitar, a mandolin, a fiddle — always in someone’s hands. His grandfather, a retired coal miner and a well-regarded local musician, had “such a rich and textured voice and an ability to make anything his,” Trey recalls. “Don’t just play it — mean it, make it yours,” his grandfather would say. That legacy left its mark.</p><p><br></p><p>Though Trey spent years as a guitarist and mandolin player, it wasn’t until recently that he stepped forward as a songwriter and solo artist. “I never wanted to be someone who just talked about doing things and never actually did,” he says. “There were a lot of those guys where I grew up, and it scared the hell out of me.” His songs reflect that urgency and humility — written to feel honest, never traditional just for tradition’s sake. “I’m not here to cosplay Appalachia,” he adds. “If it sounds traditional one day and something else the next, that’s what came out when I picked up the guitar.”</p><p><br></p><p>Even as his sound sits comfortably within Appalachian and Americana traditions, there’s a subtle freshness to it. Trey developed a deep love for flatpicking early on, drawn to the drive and precision of players like Clarence White, Tony Rice, and Doc Watson. His influences stretch far and wide — from bluegrass trailblazers like Tim O’Brien and Ralph Stanley to the powerhouse blues vocals of Susan Tedeschi, with nods to Aretha Franklin and Bobby Bland, and even ‘90s R&B and hip-hop woven in. “If something swings or grooves a little, that’s probably why,” he laughs. “I’d like to think all those influences come across in my debut album — that was kind of the point anyway.</p><p><br></p>

Taylor Hollingsworth
<p>Birmingham, Alabama's Taylor Hollingsworth has always resisted easy categorization. Asked to define his music, he struggled – a little bit folk, a touch of blues, a dash of rock 'n' roll, but not quite fitting neatly into any single box. Eventually, he coined the phrase “Folk n’ Roll” to describe his sound. Now, he's proudly claiming that sound with his latest album, aptly titled "Folk n' Roll." Fans of JJ Cale, Mississippi John Hurt, Chuck Berry, Richard Thompson, Jonathan Richman, and John Prine will find much delight in Hollingsworth's blend of timeless influences.</p>
