Guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist Ray Cardwell is the newest addition to the Americana Vibes roster, label of the GRAMMY-award winning progressive bluegrass band The Infamous Stringdusters. Cardwell’s debut album on the label and fourth full-length release of his career, Singing Tree, is produced by Jeremy Garrett of The Infamous Stringdusters and is slated for release on January 31, 2025. The lead single “Missouri Breeze” is available now and marking an exciting new chapter to Caldwell’s career. Listen HERE.
“Missouri Breeze” takes you back to simple days on the river. With heartfelt lyrics and a nostalgic melody, this track captures the longing for home and the pull of that cool Missouri breeze. Singing Tree not only presents a thrilling new label singing, but turns over a new leaf after trials, tribulations, and prioritizing family. “I’ve produced several solo projects as well as some really fun bluegrass records, but I’ve always wanted to work with a vocalist of Ray’s caliber," shares Jeremy Garrett. "We met during the COVID lockdown and wrote 'Missouri Breeze' during a Zoom session. Ray's story is inspiring. He stepped back from his career to be with family after losing his wife to cancer—his trust in me to produce this single and upcoming album means the world.”
