Tyler Halverson knows who he is, and sometimes he doesn’t like it. But all of the
mistakes he’s made and hearts he’s broken have led him to In Defense of Drinking, his
stone-cold honest country album that takes a stark look at a life lived on the road.
“It’s been a life spent falling in and out of love and finding something to write about, at
the expense of your heart and somebody’s else’s,” Halverson says. “I’m not proud of the
actions that that boy took to inspire these songs. But I’m very proud of how they turned
out. The Nashville scene today is all so pretty and polished, and some artists try to
come out looking a certain way, but how about you just show yourself exactly how you
are, the good and bad?”
Growing up in the tiny town of Canton, South Dakota, Halverson has never been afraid
to be himself. Before he answered the call of the road, playing bars and rodeo beer
gardens, he spent as much time on his skateboard as he did showing cattle at livestock
shows. “I grew up in sale barns and skate parks,” he says, and those two disparate
worlds inform the music he makes. There’s a decidedly alt-country edge to the songs on
In Defense of Drinking, including the thumping, unrepentant single “More Hearts Than
Horses.”
when you visit the American South, you’ll hear the word “kinfolk” thrown around in conversation without a second thought. The term encompasses blood-related family members—no matter how distant—but it also goes beyond blood. Your “kin” can be those close friends whose relationship might as well be familial. For Southall, that idea extends to their fervent fanbase.
Founded by vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter Read Southall, the PLATINUM-certified Country Rock outfit churns out the kinds of tunes that make everyone feel like family on their fifth full-length LP, Kinfolk [Smoklahoma Records]. The group unites dyed-in-the-wool Country, nineties Grunge, timeless Soul, and Americana into a striking signature sound, while they unify fans from the stage.
“When people are ‘kin’ to you, they’re ‘kin’ for life,” Southall observes. “It’s an ‘all for one and one for all’ mentality. We’re in this together with anybody who listens to us or comes to a show. When we play live, I often say, ‘Don’t take yourself too seriously, and we won’t either’. We’re Kinfolk after all,” he grins.
At this point, the musicians—Read, John Tyler “J.T.” Perry [guitar], Reid Barber [drums], Jeremee Knipp [bass], Braxton Curliss [keyboards], and Ryan Wellman [guitar]—share a whole lot of history with their audience.
Back in 2015, the Oklahoma-bred band introduced the masses to a boundary-breaking brew of Country and Rock with Six String Sorrow. Their vision further crystallized on 2017’s Borrowed Time, which yielded the PLATINUM-selling staple “Why.” They continued to captivate listeners with For The Birds [2021] and Southall [2023], bringing their total streams to nearly 1 BILLION.
