Southbound75

In a rare meeting backstage at Cincinnati’s Music Hall, music legend Prince asked Southbound 75 singer-songwriter, Mark Lorenzo, “Do you believe the cream will rise to the top?...” After responding that he did, Prince continued, “...Then you have nothing to worry about.” 

At Southbound 75's shows, it's a common occurrence when more people dance to the band's original songs than the cover songs. This speaks to the infectious energy they bring to the stage and the undeniable appeal of their music. 

Having traveled extensively throughout the country, Southbound 75 has been making their mark in the heart of country music, Nashville, Tennessee. They have performed at prestigious venues such as The Ryman Concert Series, Wildhorse Saloon, NBC’s "Today in Nashville," and the renowned "Whiskey Jam." Their captivating performances have even earned them coveted slots at high-profile events like WQYK'S Guitar Pull, The New Country 103.1 Rib Round-Up, The Field Of Dreams & Grand Slam Country Festivals, and the recurring High Seas Rally Cruise. 

Sharing the stage with famous artists like Scotty McCreery, Lainey Wilson, Jordan Davis and Chase Matthews, Southbound 75 has solidified their position among the country music up-and-comers. 

Their latest full-length release, "Tales From The Black Swamp" (The Orchard), has been hailed as "One of the year's standout albums" by Country Music International. The album's impact extends beyond accolades, as three of its videos have premiered on The Country Network, and tracks like "Spilled Champagne" and "Missing Carolina" have been added to CMT.com. 

Southbound 75 is currently working on their next release in collaboration with renowned producer Jimmy Ritchie, known for his work with Jake Owen and Pam Tillis. 

The band's song, "Spilled Champagne," the album's first single, was featured on CMT's prestigious "The Roundup" playlist on Spotify, alongside releases by industry heavyweights like Old Dominion, Carrie Underwood, and Hardy.
