Dylan Schneider is wise beyond his years, especially when it comes to his songwriting. But perhaps even more impressive is Schneider’s ability and willingness to connect with fans on a personal level. “I used to freak out if an artist would respond or interact with me. It’s incredibly important to me that I do the same with my fans.” That love for fans has helped grow Schneider a collective social following of over 1,000,000. Named “country music’s next rising star” by Billboard, the 18-year-old has spent the better part of the last two years becoming the epitome of the modern country artist. Music City Session: Austin Burke Wednesday, Nov. 7 | 8:00pm The song “Whole Lot in Love” catapulted Austin to Spotify stardom. The track currently boasts nearly 43 million streams and has earned Austin the reputation of being one of the platform’s most successful independent country artists. Both of Austin’s songs have also been prominently featured on Sirius XM’s The Highway. 8 www.PalaceStamford.org Show Information Walker McGuire Thursday, Nov. 8 | 8:00pm There are brothers in blood, and then there are brothers in spirit. Jordan Walker and Johnny McGuire may not look like family or share a last name, but you wouldn’t know it by hearing them sing. After meeting onstage at a writers round just days after moving to Nashville, Jordan—the “super country” guy, raised in Texas with a love for classics like Keith Whitley and Dan Seals—and Johnny— the quintessential “rootsy” guy, a Kansas City native schooled by left-of-center icons like Tom Petty and John Prine—discovered a yin-and-yang musical connection that fit together like puzzle pieces—and the duo Walker McGuire was born.
