Songwriter, singer, and fiddler Wyatt Espalin, born in Los Angeles but raised on a rustic campground in North Georgia, weaves haunting and honest storytelling into his music. A former state champion clogger and Appalachian buck-dancer, he discovered his love for performing at a young age. In Fall 2025, he will release his debut full-length album, Lies From A Lonesome Valley, featuring his band, The Riverstones, along with special guests Amy Ray (Indigo Girls) and singer-songwriter Grace Pettis. Rooted in his Southern upbringing yet shaped by a restless spirit, the album explores themes of identity and belonging, proving that his songs, like him, adapt to any setting—whether performed solo, in a duo, or with a full band. With his witty banter, captivating storytelling, and evocative performances, Wyatt has won over audiences nationwide, solidifying his place as one of the most compelling voices in Appalachian music.
