George “Nash” Hamilton VI is a Nashville born and based, third generation musician who has spent a majority of his life as a performer. Since making his Grand Ole Opry debut at the age of 4, sitting on his father’s shoulders, Nash has formed a deep love for the art of songwriting and composing. This can be heard in his wide breadth of music: from his debut Americana/Folk album “Good For You” to the songs he’s released since, varying from Classic Country to Rock. His Nashville influences are evident, but there’s a much wider scope to Nash Hamilton.

Roberta Faceplant is a honky tonk hurricane from Philadelphia. Safely in the middle of a Venn diagram where kitsch meets bitch, the five-piece Outlaw Americana band has been called “a cowpunk miracle” and been compared to “Southern Culture on the Skids fronted by Laura Bell Bundy.” It’s Country, but you can hear the City.

Raucous guitars, a driving rhythm section, and the raw, powerful, and soulful vocals of frontwoman Katie Feeney make Roberta Faceplant a five-fingered fist of Country grit. Lyrically, Feeney and the band pull no punches, tackling current events with tongue in cheek humor and rage. Peppered with Bob Seger-style working-man themes and a dose of Southern Rock, the band still holds tight to the true spirit of country music - three chords and the truth. 

Over the last year, Roberta Faceplant has performed at venues such as Skinny Dennis in Brooklyn, NY and at events like Baby’s First Rodeo in Philadelphia, PA, while opening for emerging artists like Emily Nenni, Dylan Earl, Hannah Juanita, Olivia Ellen Lloyd, Rebecca Porter, and more. The band’s last single received radio play on stations like KOOP 91.7 FM and KLKT 107.9 FM in Texas; NOLA County Radio in New Orleans; and WXPN 88.5 in Philadelphia.

Roberta Faceplant released their debut EP, Yee Haw Stuff, in 2024 and is releasing a follow up six-song EP, Brisket & Cigarettes, on September 26, 2025.
