Everette

Growing up in Shepherdsville Kentucky, frontman Brent Rupard began his musical journey the way many of the greats began – in the church. In a particularly expressive church, he learned to let emotions run wild through the music without reservations. From the church to the rowdy bars of Bowling Green, Kentucky where he moved to go to college at Western Kentucky University, he honed in his ability to play above the noise and capture an audience. As he began to outgrow the club scene of Kentucky, Rupard set his sights on making music a career. Along with musical companion and former member of Everette, Anthony Olympia, the two of them set off for Nashville to make this dream a reality. This is where the band name “Everette” was formed after George Clooney’s character on “Oh Brother Where Art Thou”, a movie frequently watched together. Everette has become more than just a band name. Even though the configuration has changed from duo to now being led by Rupard, the name Everette and the mission to bring people together through music continues. Whether you see Everette on the Grand Ole Opry, in your hometown theater, or gathered around in the backyard, there’s no doubt an Everette show will make you feel something. With a mixture of bluegrass and rock n roll, The Everette sound will surely transport you to the back porch, with good friends, good drinks and good times. Everette’s latest EP, Keys to Kentucky is just the start of this new journey.
