Americana artist Jeddy Knox, who traded a career designing IT systems for companies like Deloitte and Harvard Business School to pursue music, is set to headline the iconic Hotel Café in Los Angeles on October 25th.
Knox is quickly gaining recognition as a breakout singer-songwriter and one of the few openly gay men carving out space in the country and Americana genres.
His music, which fuses Americana, Southern Rock, and Alt Rock (often described as Goo Goo Dolls meets Eric Church with a Zach Bryan vibe), is driven by themes of heartbreak, identity, and “the wild freedom of starting over.”
In just two years, the artist taught himself guitar, co-produced his debut album Revelers & Ramblers with Grammy-winning collaborators, and achieved significant independent success.
Knox has accumulated over two million streams without traditional label support or management.
His first single, “Wander On,” reached #8 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 and has generated over 719,000 user-created videos, surpassing one million individual streams.
Knox’s headlining performance is seen as a major milestone in his unconventional journey from the corporate world to the stage, solidifying his role as a compelling new voice for the queer community in a genre historically lacking LGBTQ+ representation.
