Everette is a Nashville-based band blending Americana, bluegrass roots with rock 'n' roll grit, creating a sound that feels like a back porch gathering with songs that hit home.
Growing up in Shepherdsville, Kentucky, frontman Brent Rupard began his musical journey the way many great artists do — in church. In a particularly expressive congregation, he learned early on to let emotion pour freely through music, holding nothing back. That foundation carried him from the pews to the rowdy bars of Bowling Green, Kentucky, where he attended Western Kentucky University and sharpened his ability to rise above the noise and truly command a room.
As he began to outgrow the Kentucky club scene, Rupard set his sights on making music a full- time career. Alongside musical companion and former bandmate Anthony Olympia, he made the move to Nashville to chase the dream. It was there that the name “Everette” was born — inspired by George Clooney’s character in O Brother, Where Art Thou?, a film the two frequently watched together.
Blending bluegrass roots with rock ’n’ roll grit, the Everette sound feels like a back porch gathering — good friends, cold drinks, and songs that mean something.
Everette has toured coast to coast, played the Grand Ole Opry 12 times, and built a dedicated international following with performances across the UK, Germany, and Ireland. The band has also shared the stage as support for artists including Larry Fleet, Brothers Osborne, and The Cadillac Three.
Beyond performing, Rupard has established himself as a respected songwriter in Nashville, earning cuts with artists such as Larry Fleet, Lee Brice, Josh Turner, and Tracy Lawrence.
Everette’s latest EP, ‘Simple As That’ marked the beginning of a new chapter. With new music currently in the works and a first headlining UK tour this August, the journey is only just getting started.
