Kentucky-born country-rock outfit Ole 60 are the latest guests on “Live at the Print Shop,” the Atlanta-based music and interview series known for pairing top-tier production with artist-focused storytelling. The episode captures the band performing a career-spanning set alongside a candid conversation about life on the road and the making of their debut album ‘Smokestack Town’. The performance features “Let You Down,” “Nancy Avenue,” “Who We Are,” and “Watching Me Bleed,” among others, blending the swagger of classic Southern rock with the sincerity of country songwriting. Midway through, the band adds a surprise cover of Coldplay’s “Yellow,” which has quickly become a fan favourite from their live shows.
In between songs, the members open up about their early days in Hancock County and the whirlwind success that followed their viral hit “Smoke & Light.” They discuss the real-life stories that shaped ‘Smokestack Town’, a record built around a fictional town but rooted in real experiences of heartbreak, small-town identity, and perseverance. Since its release, ‘Smokestack Town’ has topped digital charts and drawn praise from outlets like Billboard and PEOPLE, both citing the band’s mix of grounded storytelling and rock edge. For “Live at the Print Shop,” which has previously featured Stephen Wilson Jr. and Blues Traveler, Ole 60’s appearance continues a tradition of spotlighting artists with strong live instincts and distinctive perspectives on modern country music.
