Caleb Caudle

Caleb Caudle plays The Crescent Hotel on Sunday 17 January 2027, his first time performing in Scarborough. He's a singer-songwriter from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, who came up on rock 'n' roll and Southern hospitality, and he'll be the only name on the bill.

Caudle's background is a bit of a mix. He was playing the North Carolina punk circuit by the age of 15, and he lists The Clash and the Velvet Underground as influences, but he's spent the last decade and a half in country and Americana. He quit his day job in 2012 to focus on music, and since then he's put out four albums: Tobacco Town (2012), Paint Another Layer On My Heart (2014), Carolina Ghost (2016) and Crushed Coins (2018). Rolling Stone once called him 'the musical equivalent of high-proof bourbon', and Paste Magazine has compared his songwriting to Jason Isbell's. He's also cited Miles Davis' In A Silent Way as an influence, so there's a fair bit of ground he draws from.

He's played Nashville's AmericanaFest multiple times, and his song 'Borrowed Smiles' was featured on the CMT series Nashville. He was also on the lineup of the 11th Annual Cayamo, a musical cruise from New Orleans to Cozumel and Belize, alongside John Prine, Buddy Miller, Brandi Carlile, Patty Griffin and Lee Ann Womack.

It's a Sunday night show at The Crescent Hotel, doors open at 7:00pm and the music starts at 7:30pm.
