It’s been a been a steady, six-year rise for alt-country singer-songwriter Caleb Caudle. Through regular touring and a rock-solid catalog of terrific records, Caudle has emerged as one of Americana’s best acts, whether fronting a band or performing solo.

We caught up with Caleb during a recent west-coast swing opening for Canadian country singer Corb Lund. Over a quick conversation in his dressing room at the Mission Theater in Portland (with Lund’s band sound checking for that evening’s show in the background), Caudle shares some thoughts on his career so far and the many exciting happenings ahead for 2019.

During the interview, you’ll hear about his first trip to perform in U.K., a move he’s planning from his home near Winston-Salem, N.C. to Nashville, and the amazing project he’s undertaking for the making of his next album (and the A-list all-star band he’s put together for the recording).

We also mix in a couple of our favorite songs from Caleb’s career so far (listed below). Visit Caleb’s website for more information about his music, upcoming show dates and how you can contribute to the making of his upcoming record. And expect more great stuff from this talented young man in the coming years.

Pushing the boundaries of sadness appears to be the job of today’s songwriter and it stands in stark contrast to the smiley-face emoticon façade of social media. However, to the discerning listener, there is so much more than melancholy in the works of the modern-day troubadour. The great albums will give us love and laughter along with tears and pain all paired side by side with adventure to add spice to the experiences of life. This album covers a plethora of emotions, giving us a glimpse of the wholeness we seek for ourselves.
