Can't wait to see y'all out there and connect with y'all on the road. This year has already exceeded my expectations and it's all because of y'all, so thank you for all the love and support.

This past Friday (7/22), Culpepper released his second single, "Who Hurt You." Holler called it "a striking acoustic offering, beautifully blanketed in bright strings and carried on Culpepper's emotive croon," while MusicRow praised his "extraordinary voice."

Alabama-born country crooner Kashus Culpepper encompasses the sound of the South. A student and reverent purveyor of Southern music - country, soul, blues, folk, and rock - Culpepper's husky, sandpaper growl bellows like a freight train over self-penned stories that are as raw and real as they are haunting. Finding his voice in church as young as five years old, it wasn't until 2020's global pandemic that Culpepper went from listener to performer, picking up a guitar and learning cover songs to play at barrack bonfires in Rota, Spain during his deployment with the Navy. Covers soon became originals, and once he landed home on U.S. shores, Kash played dive bars up and down the Mississippi Gulf Coast, making a name for himself with the fresh-yet-reminiscent sound that oozes from his very being. Crashing into prominence now, Culpepper has already sold-out headline club shows throughout the South despite never formally releasing a single song, also opening shows nationwide for sound pioneers like Charles
Wesley Godwin, Charley Crockett, and NEEDTOBREATHE. With Nashville taking notice, Culpepper found a musical home at Big Loud Records, and just dropped his first two career singles "After Me?" and "Who Hurt You." MusicRow hails Culpepper as "thoroughly gripping," and with the promise of more music on the way in 2024, The Tennessean predicts how one of their 10 Nashville artists you need to know for 2024's "forthcoming material could offer…significant acclaim."
