About Willow Avalon:
Originally from Georgia and now based in Nashville, Willow Avalon’s musical journey began with her first word, “Elvis.” Raised by her mother and grandmother in a small Southern town, she grew up playing piano in church and taught herself guitar at age 12, using songwriting as both an escape and a means of self-expression through a life-journey that has been anything but straight-forward. Her much-praised 2025 debut album, Southern Belle Raisin’ Hell, cemented her as one of country music’s most compelling new voices, blending classic country, Americana, and pop influences. She has performed at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, CBS Mornings, and the Grand Ole Opry, as well as festivals like Stagecoach, C2C, CMA, and Lollapalooza, bringing her electrifying presence to global audiences. With a sharp wit and rebellious spirit, she has shared stages with legends and rising stars alike, including Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Zach Bryan, Cage the Elephant, Paul Cauthen, Charles Wesley Godwin, and more. Solidified by sold-out headline tours in North America, Europe, and Australia, as well as hundreds of millions of views across social content, Willow Avalon is redefining what it means to be a modern Southern storyteller.
About Tophouse:
Expectations versus reality. Unbridled optimism versus rugged lived experience. Theory versus
Practice.
This is the conflict at the center of Tophouse’s dueling new EPs.
Theory, released in May 2024, brims with hope, optimism, and the unshakeable knowledge that
hard circumstances and people can change for the better.
The new EP, Practice is different. While the band’s intricate arrangements and high-energy
performances carry through, the subject matter and outlook of these new songs stands in stark
contrast to the upbeat and hopeful worldview of Theory.
“We didn’t start out writing these songs with a two-part set of EPs in mind,” says lead vocalist
Joe Larson. “But when they were written and we were looking at how to arrange them on an
album, the clear delineation of themes became pretty apparent. The idealistic, hopeful worldview
that we can all strive for in Theory, up against the hard reality that life doesn’t always work out
the way we want in Practice.”

the way we want in Practice.”
