North to Nashville consists of Evan Blankenship as the lead vocalist, Brian Turnbull on lead guitar, Ryan Tuhy on bass guitar, and Ben Anderson on drums. While each of the band’s members comes from their own different musical backgrounds, one thing is clear – their passion for playing great country music. Formed in March of 2018, the boys of North to Nashville have quickly gained significant recognition throughout the Midwest and have achieved massive success throughout their hometown of Columbus, Ohio. Having opened for and shared stages with country music artists such as Luke Combs, Eric Church, Darius Rucker, Rascal Flatts, Lee Brice, Jake Owen, Cole Swindell, David Lee Murphy, Chris Young, Big and Rich, and many more, North to Nashville strives to deliver their audiences more than just a concert, but an energetic country music experience. Their major influences are Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Jason Aldean, Brooks and Dunn, and Old Dominion, and it shows in their original music. North to Nashville in June of 2023 released their debut, self-titled album, which cracked the top 10 Country Albums chart on iTunes. The biggest song on the record, “Whisperin’” topped Music Row’s Top 40 Country Breakout Radio chart as well. While the Buckeye state has produced country music legends such as Rascal Flatts, Dwight Yoakam, and David Allen Coe, North to Nashville is working tirelessly on becoming the next great country band from Ohio.

When you walk into an AJ Angelo show, you know something special is happening here. You can feel it right away, before your mind even has a chance to process the energized music coming from the captivating man on stage, and the collective grin worn by every face in the crowd. The range of music AJ plays is, in a word, wide. From his heroes Jim Croce & Jimmy Buffet - for whom he wrote a tribute song called Jim & Jimmy - to some bluesy Sam Cook, to rockin' Bruce Springsteen, Bob Segar, and the Eagles, to the country side with Zak Brown & Toby Keith, he has it covered. ajangelomusic.com
