BIRMINGHAM MOUNTAIN RADIO PRESENTS: DRAYTON FARLEY

Alabama native Drayton Farley has as honest a voice as you’re likely to hear inthis burgeoning scene of country, folk, roots, and Americana music we’re allwrapped up in. With songs and lyrics pulled from real life experience, there’s agrounded feeling to his stories, a confessional quality that rings true to thosewho know. His voice fills the room like cigarette smoke, curling into every cornerof you, with a fine grit rasp that smooths out every rough edge.

It lingers hours,days, after you’ve left the bar – turns of phrase that tumble around your mind,bittersweet and familiar. He sings as deeply about the love he holds as the lovehe’s lost and there’s something so broken-in and comfortable about thatSouthern inflection that every song feels like coming home. Sharing stages with musicians on the rise such as Zach Bryan, Arlo McKinley and Mike and the Moonpies, Drayton has quickly gained a loyal fan base.You can listen to Drayton’s latest album, A Hard up Life, wherever you get your music.
