There is no shortage of amazing original music being made by artists Born & Bred here in the mountain state. Every week we continue to be amazed by the quality and quantity of artistry created by the talented storytellers of our home. Born & Bred Best of 2023 nominees Shelem and Jared Henry each released a new track and Of The Dell dropped their first song over the weekend.
Listen to all of the amazing West Virginia Music on our Spotify Playlist. More streaming services being added soon.
Of The Dell has released their first track, Billy Lane. This Beatles-esque song is a great ear worm that will have you singing “Hit By The Train” at random moments that might leave you needing to explain yourself. If you’ve been following Of The Dell for any period you’re sure to have heard their flawless harmonies on several videos they’ve put out. Thankfully that carried over to this original that shows off why they are gaining steam.
Afro-pop/hip hop mainstay, Shelem dropped an ep entitled “Hope This Helps.” The six song ep came during a time where Shelem says he was personally stressed and mentally struggling. These songs were a bright spot for him during that period and will offer you a bright spot in this gloomy time of the year. The proceeds of the physical and digital sales on his Bandcamp go to help the United Way of Central WV.
Pop artist Jared Henry keeps rolling with his output from 2023 into the new year with a new track, Just Like You. Henry continues to treat his musical drops like a personal diary offering insights into experiences he dealt with growing up that shaped his views on life. Check it out below.
