Celebrated for his remarkable baritone voice, which has earned him the nickname Big Velvet, Cauthen grew up singing in the church choir and cut his chops as part of a tight knit creative community in East Texas. Cauthen has steadily risen through the ranks of country and Americana, first gaining notoriety with roots duo Sons of Fathers before embarking on a solo career with his debut album, My Gospel. He's gone on to release two more much-lauded albums-2019's Room 41and 2022's Country Coming Down-and toured the world over. Known for his dynamic live show, Cauthen has collaborated and shared stages with Margo Price, Orville Peck, Elle King, Midland, Cody Jinks and many more.
