September Country Music Artist of the Month 501 Bryze

Every single September, music outlets and traditional radio start playing safely. They line up the usual Nashville machine favorites, check the corporate boxes, and hand out awards to whoever spent the most money on a PR campaign. But you know that’s not how we operate here. On this show, we look for grit, we look for numbers that don't lie, and above all, we look for work ethic.That brings us to our September Country Music Artist of the Month: Arkansas’s own 501Bryze.Now, I know some traditionalists out there might hear that name and raise an eyebrow.
