Kashus Culpepper Sets ‘Act 1’ For Debut Album

October 24, 2025/by Madison Hahnen

Kashus Culpepper will release his debut album, Act 1, on Jan. 23 via Big Loud Records.

“Creating music has been the greatest joy of my life,” shares Culpepper. “What a magical thing it is. My debut album Act I serves as a beginning of that journey.”

The 18 track project draws from Culpepper’s wide array of musical influences, and blends country, soul, blues, folk and rock. Listeners will be able to hear varied instrument use, including banjo and pedal steel, cello, violin and harp.

Culpepper co-penned all 18 songs, with additional writing credits from Jacob Durrett, Matt Warren, Natalie Hemby and more. The record was recorded in Muscle Shoals with production by Brian Elmquist. The album also features collaborations with Sierra Ferrell on “Broken Wing Bird” and Marcus King on “Southern Man.”
