The legend himself. Eric needs no biography or hype. His music speaks for itself. To say it was an honor for Eric to perform at the studio would be the understatement of the century. In our final session of the year, released August 29th, 2020, Eric dropped acoustic versions of some of his greatest hits. Thatcher’s Downtown catered an amazing, off the menu, secret item that’s only available to Eric Bolander himself. He’s kind of a big deal.

When these dudes dropped in the cave, we didn’t know what we were in for! Holy smokes! OUTLAW IS NOT DEAD! August 15th, 2020 will always be remembered as the day honkey tonk music made its comeback! Eddie Jenkins and his band of misfits are forever in the annals of Fat Cave history as the first rock-n-roll act to blow the roof off the join. Watch the full sessions below. Individual song videos can also be found on our Youtube channel!

International Recording Artist and humble guy next door, Brett Dunn, descended upon the cave for a performance released on August 8th, 2020. Brett has become one our closest friends and we’re proud to have been a part of his 2021 release “Hymns On A Hillside”.

After the relaxation of COVID restrictions, David Hatton was next up to take the spotlight in 2020. David is an old soul with a heart of gold. His unique style has taken him all over the country and it was an incredible honor for him to visit us. Released August 1st, 2020, David became an instant friend of the Cave. We’re proud to call David a brother and can’t wait to work on more in the future! View David’s full Fat Cave Sessions below! Be sure to follow him on facebook as well! David plays the Richmond/Lexington KY area frequently and is a treat to watch perform!

May 8th, 2020 concluded our inaugural “season” of Fat Cave Sessions. We were cut short due to COVID-19 but we squeezed in one last minute date with Monroe Land Way. MLW are friends of the Cave from way back. The first music video we were ever asked to film was for their single “Here”. Jacob, Todd, Cameron, and the one and only Tyler Childers all laid down a stellar 1-take performance in one go like machines. Check out the full session below!

Tyler was gracious enough to lend his time to the Fat Cave in early 2020 to perform our first “full length” Fat Cave Session. Released on May 1st, 2020, Tyler performed a host of originals and an incredible rendition of “White Oak On The Hill”. After filming, Tyler felt compelled to record a John Prine tune. He chose “The Great Compromise”. It was spur of the moment, the cameras and lights were shut off, and we were all full of tears by the end of the recording. We found out the next day that John had fallen ill with COVID-19 complications, resulting in his untimely death shortly after. We collectively decided to make a tribute video with the song and release it on Youtube. Check out the full Fat Cave Session and The Great Compromise below.

Eric “Pistol” Combs, the second artist to perform a Fat Cave Session, has become such an integral part of our operations we gave him a job title! Released April 24th, 2020, Eric performed 2 of his past hits: “Where Do I Sign?” and “Come And Go”. The Fat Cave was blessed to also film the music video for “Where Do I Sign?” in 2019 and the promotional materials for his 3rd album “Drifter”. Watch the full Fat Cave Session below and be sure to stream ALL of Eric’s music on your streaming platform of choice!

Released April 17th, 2020, Taylor was the first artist to give Fat Cave Sessions a shot and she KILLED IT! Stellar performances of her two hits, “Mean” and “White Oak” were recorded. Taylor was accompanied by Ben Williamson, an accomplished artist and manager in Nashville. Although he didn’t perform in the session, it was an honor to have Ben visit with us! Watch the entire video below.
