J.R. Carroll gained his gospel pipes on Sunday mornings, leading the small-town Okie church choir by piano and voice. After finding a group of friends to sing and play along with, Carroll picked up an acoustic to accompany the songs in his head. What came of this is a set of songs that resonate with the fans of Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell, Parker McCollum, John Moreland, and his close friend Zach Bryan. Carroll performed alongside Bryan on his 2020 release, Elisabeth. Carroll is currently writing his first full-length record. He is on the road where he plays piano in support of Zach Bryan. Keep up with him and find his live performances on Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, and Facebook. Gallery photos by David Rearic, Dawson Turner, and Zach Moffatt.
