This fall, Real & Hook Entertainment will spotlight some of the most promising voices in the independent scene with an exclusive songwriter showcase at The Bowery Vault in East Nashville on October 20, 2025. The event brings together Dolan, David Vogel, and Randy Ryder, three artists whose stories are as compelling as their songs.
At the forefront is Dolan, the Fort Worth native and Top 20 Texas radio artist whose upcoming single “Leave the Light On” (out October 17) mixes soul, R&B, and country with a dose of raw honesty. “It’s about being open to vulnerability,” Dolan says. “Leaving the world behind and allowing your senses to have a complete, real-time experience.” His sound, inspired by Leon Bridges, Teddy Swims, and Chris Stapleton, feels tailor-made for Nashville’s evolving soundscape, bridging southern tradition with modern soul.
David Vogel, best known for his time on The Voice (Team Ariana Grande), brings an alt-pop polish shaped by years of producing his own music since age 14. Following the viral success of his band JADN’s City Skies and millions of streams later, Vogel’s next chapter begins with “Bottle of Blues” (out October 29), a cinematic single that captures the tension between ambition and introspection.
Randy Ryder rounds out the lineup with his heartfelt storytelling rooted in Southern experience. A Louisiana native and Emmy-nominated producer (Autism in America, Hunger in America), Ryder’s artistry reflects a life lived fully, from touring to fatherhood and back to music. His latest single, “Heart on Hold,” is a testament to resilience, love, and rediscovery.
The Real & Hook showcase isn’t just another industry night; it’s a reminder of why Nashville remains the beating heart of authentic songwriting. Three artists. One stage. Countless stories waiting to be heard.
RSVP here to join the showcase at The Bowery Vault.
