Combster's CMA Fest Artist Spotlight: Warren Zeiders
The gritty backroads of outlaw country have a new torchbearer - Warren Zeiders. This rising Maryland native cuts no corners, delivering a raw, unvarnished brand of Americana storytelling that hits you square in the chest.
Warren Zeiders first turned heads in 2021 with his debut “Ride the Lightning.” Standouts like “Dirt Road Don’t” and “Never Look Back” introduced a gravelly twang and blue-collar authenticity lacking in today’s overproduced country landscape. 2023’s debut album “Pretty Little Poison” doubled down, with the raucous “Wild Horse” becoming an anthem for modern-day outlaws.
On stage, Zeiders is a whirlwind of intensity. With a no-holds-barred energy, he blurs the lines between revved up rockstar and introspective poet. His live shows are a cathartic exhale - loud, sweaty, and utterly real.
This year finds Zeiders continuing to blaze his own trail. He’s been road-dogging across America while teasing new music that promises to be his most uncompromising yet. When he takes the CMA Fest stage, prepare for a performance that grabs you by the collar and refuses to let go. Zeiders makes country music for the overtaxed and overlooked - CMA Fest is just the next congregation for his high-octane sermons.
