We thrive on bending genres and having fun while doing it. Our band is made up of 3 members with the occasional sibling, aunt, or cousin floating around.
First, our 16-year-old front woman Caroline Carlile on guitar, banjo, and vocals. She mostly is seen running around the stage bantering with the audience and her family on stage. It is always a good time when Caroline’s around!
Second, is our jack of all trades, 13-year-old JayJ Carlile. The driving force behind the music, JayJ is a multi-instrumentalist playing a range of 6-7 instruments. He also is known for singing his own songs about anxiety and the stresses of growing up.
And lastly, our dad, Jay Carlile. Providing expert harmonies and blues harp, he also is the official family bus driver.
We also write, record, and produce our own music, often from the backseat of our motorhome while we’re on the road.
With shows filled with comedy and family harmonies, we invite you to come along! Our songs range from heartache, to friendship, to familial love, to cowboys. There’s always a new song or story we are just waiting to share.

The album will include songs like “She Takes Me There” and “These Old Boots”; both of which were included on Spotify’s “Fresh Finds”, and “New Music Nashville” Country Playlists. Gamble spent much of the past two years on the road, testing new material while opening for top touring artists like the Eli Young Band, Lee Brice, Lo Cash, Grainger Smith, Phil Vassar, David Nail and Chase Rice. “The songs written for the upcoming album are a journey through the places I’ve been, the ups and the downs, and everywhere between. There are some rocking songs on this one, written with the live show in mind”. Gamble’s sophomore release American Heart, featured twelve tracks which showcase Shane’s ability to seamlessly blend Country and Americana rock. Gamble co-wrote many of the songs for American Heart with Nashville heavy weight writers Derric Ruttan, Zac Molloy, Jay Clementi, and the late Andrew Dorf. In the studio, Gamble worked closely with Rick Beato, who not only produced “Turn My Way” for Gamble but is also credited with hits by NEEDTOBREATHE, Shinedown, Charlie Mars, and Parmalee. Gamble’s music effortlessly straddles genre lines, sonically living somewhere between Eric Church and Tom Petty, his sound cuts straight through the heartland of American music, with a twist of the unknown. Gamble says, “I’m so excited to let people hear this new music; 2020 has afforded me the time to really drill down deep and write songs that really matter to me. There were over 40 songs recorded, some produced at my studio in Maryland, and some in Nashville, covering a wide range of storylines.
