Artist - Tyler Booth Holler Live Session 1

Grab yourselves a whiskey and a seat friends, Tyler Booth is in session.

Since 2017, Booth has been laying claim to an ever-increasing catalogue of downhome country rock songs. Finding the perfect balance between the wrangling anthems of Cody Johnson and the boot-scootin' riffs of Brooks and Dunn, Booth's songwriting belies his years, possessing a sage sense of magic that immediately takes you home.

Arriving in London for the first time for the C2C Festival, Booth joined us at The Betsey Trotwood pub before a weekend of performances at The 02 Arena. Settling in with just an acoustic guitar and his beloved Kentucky drawl, Booth introduces us into his world through three delightful numbers.

"I'm going to sing you a song, the first song I wrote that was any good"  he laughs. "It's just about taking a chance on somebody, it's called 'Palomino Princess'". Over tender, forlorn chords, Booth not only serenades those in the room with him, but the girl thousands of miles back home; the one who turns out to be the girl of his dreams.

His creative mix of horizon-painting imagery and tangible sentimentality continues through into 'Bring on the Neon'. A song Booth proudly wrote with Jamey Johnson and Jeremy Popoff, it's a bittersweet eulogy to the things you sacrifice in order to follow your dreams; whether it would be a good love, the comfort of home or the solace of family. No matter what day, place or time, Booth will be there, ready to bring you a little joy and openness with his music.

Bringing his session to a close, Booth ups the ante, offering up a gritty rock anthem in the form of 'G.O.B by the G.O.G'. Bold and rasping, Booth explains it's about the everyday guy getting by; "I wrote this song for the guy working at Kroger; the common guy working at the store. I've been in his shoes for a while, pretty much my whole life growing up". 

It just comes to show that, no matter how far his star may ascend, Booth will always be a good ol' boy by the grace of god, lapping up that cornbread and fried chicken every Sunday.

Holler presents Tyler Booth for the Holler Live Sessions in London, England, performing his songs 'Palomino Princess', 'Bring On The Neon' and 'G.O.B By The G.O.G'.

Artist - Randall King - Holler Live Session

Authentic cowboys are few and far between here in London. So when Randall King strutted into the Betsey Trotwood pub for his Holler Live Sessions, we sure knew we were in the midst of one. 

One of country's favourite upcoming neo-traditionalists, King is following in the footsteps of some of the greatest. With a sound that echoes the likes of George Strait, Keith Whitley and Alan Jackson, it's no surprise that the West Texas-hailing artist has been selling out shows across the States and receiving invitations to open for Cody Johnson, Tracy Lawrence and Clay Walker. 

Over in the UK for the annual C2C Festival, King made a stop off before his sets at the O2 Arena to join us for his Holler Live Session, setting up to serenade us simply with his acoustic guitar and smooth baritone drawl. 

"We'll start out with one of my favourites", King says as he settles into his performance with 'Roger, Miller Lite and Me'. "It's a little tip of the hat to one of my honky tonk heroes Mr Roger Miller". 

The lonesome slow burn of 'Mirror, Mirror' follows, capturing King in a more contemplative light, a momentary change in mood before he guides his set to a perfect close. 

"We're gonna turn this pub into a little two-steppin' honky tonk", King then declares, before doing exactly that with his hit tune 'You in a Honky Tonk'. 

Though he doesn't have his band in tow to rile up the energy of the set, King's Live Session is delivered with the charm, charisma and effortlessness of an artist who's sure to be going places. Watch this space. 

Performing his songs 'Roger, Miller Lite and Me', 'Mirror, Mirror' and 'You in a Honky Tonk', this is Randall King for the Holler Live Sessions.

Artist - MacKenzie Porter - Holler Live Sessions

It's another brisk early morning in March when MacKenzie Porter, her guitarist Louis Johnson and label mate Ashley Cooke join Holler to record their sessions inside the now hallowed walls of The Betsey Trotwood pub.

Clutching to an iced coffee, travel cases and her guitar, it's already been a busy 2023 for the rising Canadian country star. Among recent quickfire stops in London, Dublin and Glasgow for the C2C Festival, Porter is now preparing her brand new single '

', the starting point of an exciting next chapter in her career.

As we await the release of what'll no doubt be another smash hit for the Big Loud signee, Porter and Johnson sit down with us in the pub to give us a stripped-back performance of some of our favourite hits of hers.

What's particularly evocative about Porter's songwriting is how her affinity for a hook and a harmony seeps through the foundations of her songs, whether in the simplest, rawest of forms live or through the crystallised production of her studio recordings. 

'Pickup' simmers under the sunset of a bittersweet memory, Porter's vocal thriving over the duo's late-night driving chords, while 'These Days' takes its pop-hit picking style and evolves into a honied harmonic that wears the weight of its poignant notions on its sleeve.

It's her final performance of 'Thinking 'Bout You' though that truly cements Porter as a firm favourite to rely on in the country music scene. Taking both verses of her duet with Dustin Lynch, Porter veers from a low rasping rap to her high range seamlessly, not only showing off the versatility in her performance but the enduring quality of her songs. 'Chasing Hurricanes' honestly can't come out soon enough.

Performing her songs 'These Days', 'Pickup' and 'Thinking 'Bout You', this is MacKenzie Porter for the Holler Live Sessions.

Holler Live Sessions - Nate Smith

Nate Smith may just take the title of being the nicest guy in country music.

Walking into the Betsey Trotwood pub, Smith lights up the early morning with his warm welcome and rosy cheeriness, a perfect mixer for the coffee and laughter that's shared around the room. 

While his music traverses the spectrum of emotional expression, Smith constantly delivers with a familiar sense of animation and aspiration, giving you a sense of comfort that his music will soothe and restore you regardless of the mood you are in.

Smith's candidness comes to the fore when he performs live, especially in such an intimate setting. The bittersweet poignancy of 'Sleeve''s imagery resonantes out of Smith's lungs, a rasping weariness forever indented into the words "I'm still pickin' up the pieces / But at least it's still beatin"

"It means the world to me, everybody that's supported this song", Smith admits before performing his No.1 hit, 'Whiskey On You'. "If it means something to you, that's the whole point of making music". 

It's this unflinching selflessness to provide emotional shelter for anyone who needs it that makes Nate Smith such an endearing and already beloved songwriter and artist.

Performing his songs 'Sleeve', 'Better Boy' and 'Whiskey On You', this is Nate Smith for the Holler Live Sessions.
