J. Carmichael

J. Carmichael writes ballads about love, God, and a world spinning out of control. Defiance, perhaps to a fault, echos in his music, from the way he writes, to the instruments he plays, to what he writes about. Never content being confined within a genre, he grew up on Nashville Now and 90’s punk and indie, and is influenced by the songwriting giants of many genres; just as comfortable at a fiddle festival as he is at a punk rock show. J has released 3 full length records and a handful of EPs with another album coming in 2025. J spent 2008-2013 recording albums and playing shows from Washington State to Texas playing as an opener for bands like Lucero, Tumbledown and then yet to break out alt country sensation John Moreland. After becoming a father J took several years away from performing and recording and served his communities driving ambulances and fighting a few fires. Some souls are bound to roam and in 2024 J set out on the road again with a pile of new songs and looks forward to doing even more of it in 2025.
