Caleb Caudle

A North Carolina songwriter performs at Gullivers in Manchester, with special guests, in a concert of pop, rock and indie music. Caleb Caudle's songs are built on personal, first-person writing.

Caleb Caudle began playing on small stages in the North Carolina foothills, where the songwriter still lives, and has since performed at the Grand Ole Opry. The music sits within pop, rock and indie, and critics have singled out the first-person songs for their directness and emotional honesty. The New York Times included the track Knee Deep Blues in its list of best songs of 2024, describing a lean, modal number with slide guitar.

The latest album, Heavy Thrill, marks the first time Caudle has self-produced a record. It was recorded at the Cash Cabin in Hendersonville, Tennessee, and its songs reflect the couple's expectation of their first child. No Depression praised the writing for its candid treatment of fears and victories.

The concert takes place at Gullivers, a Manchester venue that hosts concerts and shows, and the evening includes special guests alongside Caudle. The night suits listeners who follow singer-songwriter material with a rock and indie edge and want to hear the songs from Heavy Thrill performed live.
