The Young Fables (TYF) are the promising Modern Traditional Country™ duo comprised of Shure Microphone endorsed Laurel Wright and Gretsch endorsed guitarist and vocalist Wesley Lunsford. The team is best known for their appearance on USA’s showcase television series Real Country featuring Shania Twain.
The act hails from Maryville, TN and came out of the gate collecting impressive accolades including the Grand Prize at the Texaco Country Showdown which landed Laurel on the Ryman Auditorium stage at age 16.
Fast forward five years to 2017, TYF spent the year engaging and organically expanding their grassroots following while on the road supporting their debut release Two. They've appeared with such notable acts as Lauren Alaina, Josh Turner, Sara Evans, Chris Janson, Randy Houser, The Band Perry and Chris Lane. Quickly becoming a breakthrough face on the country scene, outlets like the world-renown "The Boot," "NASH Country Daily," the UK's "Think Country" and TN Vacation all spotlighted this emerging act.
The duo’s sophomore record "Old Songs" solidified Laurel and Wesley as prolific songwriters and a stand out act in Music City. Partnering with CMT, the network exclusively premiered their first single "Completely," a song that would go on to find regular rotation on video programming like The Country Network.
This year, TYF have wrapped recording on their third full length album titled “PAGES” with the Grammy Award winning producer Mitch Dane. The record will include eleven original works helping to establish The Young Fables' sonic home in the Country/Americana community as a modern proclaimer and preservationist of classic country's storytelling roots.
