Review for Caden Gillard:
Gillard will perform his hits like "Bull Riding Fiend," "Rewind," and his most recent single, "Don't Take Her Texas."

With passionate lyrics and a heartfelt melody, Gillard's smooth, rich vocals bring the truth of yearning, love, and loss to life.
Fans can also find Gillard's other most recent singles, "Honest Thief" and "Cowboy Way," on all digital stores and streaming apps, including Spotify and Apple Music, which have garnered over 400,000 streams.
From the rodeo arena spotlight to the center stage of honky-tonks, former professional bull rider Caden Gillard has been captivating crowds across the nation with his tenacity and talent. An inspiration and testament of true grit, Gillard taught himself to pic the guitar in 2009 while battling leukemia, where he often performed for staff and other patients in the hospital. Once he conquered cancer, he set his sights on conquering his gold buckle dreams. As a road warrior, he fine-tuned his songwriting skills on the PRCA rodeo circuit, while singing and playing between go-rounds.
Combining a unique blend of old school honky-tonk, red dirt country, rock ‘n roll and a hint of blues, Gillard burst onto the scene in 2018 with the release of his debut album Gold Buckle Dreams, followed by the release of Red Dirt Rock N Roll in 2020 and most recently, Love & Heartbreak in 2022. "Back to Life," the lead single off his most recent EP, landed at #52 on the Music Row Chart, following "Too Good to Turn Down" and "Last Cowboy" charting on the Texas Music Chart.
The southwest Louisiana native now calls Nashville home, where he's elevating his music career writing, recording and performing at several iconic writer rounds. Gillard and his band, "six string circus,” have been making their way across the country garnering a loyal and devoted fanbase, while sharing the stage with country music super stars such as Zach Bryan, Cody Johnson, Lee Brice, Koe Wetzel, Midland, Sara Evans, LoCash, Drake White, Kevin Fowler, Zane Williams and more.
Doors will open at 7 p.m. and tickets are available here. The Barrelhouse Ballroom is at 1501 Long St.
