Born into the rustic life of an Alpaca farm, Trae was raised in the beauty of the Appalachian valley, but his heart yearned for a life beyond the rolling hills.

From a tender age, he discovered his love for the melodies that danced upon the winds, whispering secrets of the world around him. He would spend hours beneath the starry canopy, strumming his guitar and composing songs that told tales of love, loss, and the wonders of life. His voice, smooth as the air, carry his ballads far and wide.

Through bustling cities and quaint hamlets, Trae has crafted his talent. Drawing townsfolk from far and near to witness his enchanting performances, his heart forever entwined with the thrill of touring, for it is on the road that he has discovered the true essence of his being. From the grandest stages to the humblest street corners, he performs and sings with a passion unmatched. His troubadour's soul finding solace in the applause of a jubilant crowd and in the quiet moments of reflection beneath a starlit sky.

Tom Hampton's years as a journeyman multi-instrumentalist and sideman are bookended by his origins as a singer and songwriter - he released his critically acclaimed debut "Our Mutual Angels" in 1997 before heeding the call as a session player based on his demonstrated adeptness on multiple instruments during those recordings. His path in the years that followed found him touring and recording with Poco, Craig Bickhardt, The Marshall Tucker Band, Robert Hazard, Dan May, Tracy Grammer and a multitude of acts who came to rely on his musical sensibilities.

Hampton was the last person to join the pioneering country-rock band Poco, but following the death of founder Rusty Young in 2021, Hampton joined with the surviving members to form Cimarron 615 - and found himself revisiting his songwriting roots. Writing or co-writing three of the album's songs (including the title track), he found that he'd reopened a vein...and songs started pouring out.

The resulting album, "A Month Of Somedays", owes as much to Jason Isbell and John Moreland as it does to formative influences Jackson Browne and Stephen Stills - the songs are character studies - honest looks at life, regret, the passage of time that could only come from an abundance of mileage and experience. The music wears his country-rock origins on its sleeve, but rides an undercurrent of red dirt Americana instrumentation and confessional singer/songwriter lyricism to form a unique, yet instantly familiar sonic landscape.
