Interview

Jett Holden is the country star you need to pay attention to. Holden’s distinctive voice and impassioned performance is genuinely goosebump-inducing, and if that wasn’t enough, he’s about to help make history. Holden’s upcoming album The Phoenix (October 4th) is the first album on the Black Opry’s music label. Produced by Nashville stalwart Will Hoge, who himself has accomplished the rare feat of bridging Americana and mainstream country, The Phoenix showcases Holden at his best, even when his songs find him at his worst. As Holden shares below, these are songs of healing, especially after growing up queer in a Jehova’s Witness Household.
