The trio has quickly become "the band to watch" within Nashville's world-renowned music scene.

verygently's origin story feels both unexpected and inevitable. While the three artists quickly became friends after meeting in Nashville, it would be years before they wrote music together. But after playing their first show, Augustana's Dan Layus encouraged them to make it official. Their combined road miles and artistry accelerated the band's undeniable momentum, signing with Warner subsidiary record label, Nash Verse Records, just months after their debut. "This feels like a special thing," Bushman says. After years of hustling as solo artists and feeling pressured to fit into a mold, "this brings us back to why we started playing music."

That sense of freedom drives the collaboration, with verygently's first EP, Dumba$$ Mode, kicking down the doors of singer-songwriter stereotypes and proving that heartache doesn't have to feel hopeless. "There's a thin line between heartbreak and hilarious," Hendricks says, and the band walks that tightrope with ease. Songs like "Sir This is a Wendys" deliver a lament with a wink, while "Get Over You" brings the kind of harmony blend that only comes from seasoned artists who have found their perfect match in each other.

While Erwin, Bushman, and Hendricks have distinct styles as solo artists, they share a versatility that defines the band's expansive sound. verygently moves seamlessly from rock-inflected anthems to more laid-back, groove-centric tracks, showcasing their range without ever losing the verve and authenticity that defines their songwriting. "I feel lucky and grateful to be in a band with not only two of my best friends, but also two of my favorite artists and writers in Nashville," says Erwin. "We've only begun to scratch the surface of our artistry and we can't wait to keep digging in and defining this project."

Joining in the supergroup mode of the Travelling Wilburys and boygenius, verygently is more than the sum of its parts. While each artist leaves fingerprints on the tracks — from Bushman's moody storytelling to Hendrick's '70s-infused songwriting and Erwin's soaring melodies and production chops — the collaboration takes on an untameable spirit. The result is music that sounds both of-the-moment and timeless, with an intimacy that captures attention and an exuberant energy that sustains it.

Their forthcoming EP, produced by Noah Gunderson, was recorded to analog tape at Fame studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama and lays a strong foundation for the promising future of verygently. For Erwin, Hendricks, and Bushman, this is the sound of friends finding freedom — and inviting you along for the ride.
