Today we’d like to introduce you to Kentucky Music Mafia.
Hi Kentucky Music , we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Shannon Joe back in 2017 came up with the idea of bringing a lot of artist together and came up with the name Kentucky Music Mafia. Which was form to be a label/crew of artist formed into a trio group when we started releasing music and doing shows together. Debut our first album in 2021 with All Our Rowdy Friends, and the followed that up with Bonfires & Moonshine. Then Shannon Joe and Toby linked with Roy Caudill and he became the 3rd member of the group when we recorded the smash hit song “Hank & The Drinkin’” and after it was tour time. 2022 we was named for Group Of The Year at the Josie Music Awards held at the historic Grand Ole Opry, the following year we won album of the year for “Outlaw Mountain Music”. Since 2022 we have been nominated for 31 awards independently, and have walked away as winners numerous times. Now in the closing of 2025 we are working on 3 different albums and working on what looks to be a HUGE 2026 for us.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It hard been rough at times while out on the road, missing family amd other things that we wanna go and do, But we have been lucky enough to not miss too much and get back home after shows.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Kentucky Music Mafia, Shannon Joe, Roy Caudill & Toby Ray
We are proud of our accomplishments we have more in just a few short years as a group when some folks literally working for years before they catch a break.
We bring a different style of music that we like to call Outlaw Mountain Music. We blend every kind of genres you can think of. You never know what you will get from us.
Can you share something surprising about yourself?
Not truly much, we are mainly a wide open book and never try and hide behind a mask, what you see is what you get with us.
