 At just 20 years old, Trey Knepp is making waves in the country music community. His new single “Small Town Somewhere USA”, released in March 2022, is a nostalgic throwback to a simpler past. His gritty, raw vocals give us an insight into the creative processes of a young man dedicated to painting images of red-blood country on a canvas made of notes.   Born in a small town himself, Loogootee, Indiana, Trey credits his influence to familial ties. Watching his older cousins play, he was inspired to make music his creative outlet. Stumbling upon an old guitar in his grandfather’s basement, he knew that this instrument would be the key to open some weathered screen doors to a musical future.   Trey was intrigued by bluegrass and taught himself to play guitar at only 14. As he grew older, he realized that his love for icons like Lonesome River Band and Bill Emerson had transformed. He began to transition to a more modern sound. He credits this hybrid evolution to new-country music artists such as Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, and Jason Aldean. But the influences of his youth can still be heard, not only in his new single, but ingrained into his unique vocal and instrumental style of today.   Currently, Trey is working on several new upcoming projects. To date, he has written several songs to include in his next EP and has been featured on WISH TV, Indianapolis. With collaborations in the works, Trey has a bright future ahead in the country music scene. His natural talent and artistic ability are unfolding like a summertime dawn. Those front porch rocking chairs are the best seats in the house to watch this country son make his rise.
