After finding a group of friends to sing along with, Carroll adopted the acoustic guitar and wrotewhat became his debut EP, LongStory Short. The set of songs resonated with fans of Tyler Childers,Jason Isbell, John Moreland, and Carrolls close friend Zach Bryan. Since the EPs release, Carroll has been playing shows of all sizes. He currently accompanies Zach Bryan asBryans touring keyboardist. When he isnt on tour with Bryan, Carroll is writing at home in Tulsa, Oklahoma or playing his own shows around the United States.Carrolls lastrelease, Raging in the Dark, reflects an indie-rock influence, while holding dear the tender,honest, and heart-felt lyricism that fans expect from Carroll.

Upon release, singles from Raging in theDark havebecome staples on editorial playlists such as Spotifys own Indigo.J.R. has released his highly anticipated debut album, Dark Cloud on December 6th.
