In 2014 he released his only solo record Georgia, which received good reviews called “A true work of Art”. After settling in Nashville, TN in 2015, Stovall began to focus more on producing albums – including his own new record “Rocketship” under the moniker Red Porch Kid, which was released on January 27th, 2017.  Stovall took the reigns on mixing and engineering the record in his Nashville apartment, along with playing all of the instruments on the record.

The video for “Minor Hill,” a track that echoes of the psychedelic class rock hints of War on Drugs, while embracing its own cathartic song melodies and embellishes. Red Porch Kid is a name that may evoke folk and acoustic . “When I finished recording Minor Hill, I knew that I wanted the entire record to have a similar sound, “says Stovall. “That song is one of my favorites on the record because it is so layered, but it doesn’t sound crowded to me. I’m proud of this one.”

Michael Stovall, who under the name Red Porch Kid, has crafted something pretty spectacular on his new solo project “Rocketship”. The entire album mixes ambient and Americana together to create a beautiful, folky, airy production. It’s not unlike Bon Iver’s ambitious 22, A Million, and at first listen seems at least somewhat influenced . Lyrically it’s a pretty standard growing up record, but sonically it challenges and rejuvenates, and Lord knows we need some more of that these days. Stovall is a founding member of Jackson Jones, who disbanded back in 2008. This is his second solo release, and his first under the name of Red Porch Kid. He wrote, recorded, and produced the record himself, which came out January 27th.

Red Porch Kid Rocketship Album Cover

Nashville singer-songwriter and producer Michael Stovall has been making a name for himself in the music world for nearly a decade. In 2014, he released his first solo album, Georgia, just months before relocating to Nashville. Since then, he’s focused his time on producing great local music, including a new project of his own. Under the moniker Red Porch Kid, Stovall has crafted an album completely on his own. “Rocketship”, sneaked out this January, was mixed, mastered, produced and recorded in his one bedroom apartment earlier this year.

In his Words: “‘Waitin’ on Something’ was one of the first songs I wrote for the record, and it sorta ended up being the cornerstone for the entire album. Usually I don’t enjoy listening back to the songs that I’ve written and recorded, but I don’t mind listening to this one if it comes on.” comments Michael Stovall. while Good Heart was a song that happened pretty quickly,” Stovall tells. “I was thinking about how different experiences or relationships can often end pretty quickly, but neither side is really to blame. It doesn’t make you a bad person if you lose touch with someone, we’re all human beings. Sometimes things just end, and it’s ok to move on with your life.”

Red Porch Kid Rocketship Interview

Red Porch Kid is the moniker of Michael Stovall, a musician/producer based in Nashville, TN. His forthcoming album “Rocketship”, came out January 27th of 2017 is already turning heads and piquing ears – as his low-key approach to ambient Americana is making an incredible first-impression.

Mike’s commented. My new record is called “Rocketship”. It’s something that I am really proud of and can’t wait for people to hear it. I actually wrote and recorded the entire album in my old 1-bedroom apartment here in Nashville, TN.

No automatic alt text available.

I had the opportunity to work with one of my favorite local bands (Dead & Lovely) on a song called “Lazarus”. Other than that, I kinda kept everything on the album to myself. I wouldn’t say its a very personal record, but I had a distinct mood that I wanted to create for it. Red Porch Kid’s approach to craft is humble, focused and telling – a balm to chaos, and a sense of measure against the insurmountable, this is a mature set of songs that are both compelling and rewarding.
