About: Trent Dabbs
Growing up in the
rich literary and religious environment of Mississippi, and then moving
straight into the country-soaked musical world of Nashville, Trent Dabbs has
many stories to tell. Like Flannery O’Connor with her short story collection, A Good Man Is Hard To Find, Dabbs pieces his own spiritual and relational
questions into well crafted folk-pop albums. The ghosts of Johnny Cash, old
gospel-choirs, Neil Young, and Nick Drake are heard roaming the halls of Trent’s
songs.
This is
especially true with Southerner, Dabbs' sixth full-length record to date. This
album is both a return and a departure. The album is a return to Trent's
heritage, and recalls how the South has shaped his art, but the tone is also a
slight departure from his previous pop and rock-driven songwriting. The track
titled, “Leave To See”, the first song written for the album, fittingly
describes the paradox of more clearly seeing your home from a different place,
a different perspective. Trent says that on Southerner he, “wanted
to peel back the layers . . . and portray ten separate stories that have been
woven into my southern life”.
An artist with a
unique business sense, Trent Dabbs has forged his way through an ever-changing
music industry by uniting some of Nashville’s best up-and-coming musicians in a
touring and recording collective called, Ten Out of Tenn. Many of these artists
such as Erin McCarley, Andrew Belle, Katie Herzig and Joy Williams (The Civil
Wars), among others, have gone on to have critically and commercially
successful careers as performers and songwriters. Trent’s own songs have been
featured on television shows such as Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Hawaii Five-0, One Tree Hill, Pretty
Little Liars, Vampire Diaries and many others as well as in feature films. Despite these successes, Trent remains a humble and avid supporter of his
fellow musicians, and anyone who is looking to create authentic art. As noted
in Athens Blur, “as beautiful as the talent Trent Dabbs
helps introduce to the masses, it’s his own music that merits the most
attention.”
