The onset of the pandemic had brought his touring operation to a complete standstill, leaving his future as a musician in grave jeopardy. It was a tough decision, but, along with the financial benefit, it made him see things in ways he hadn’t before.

Back in March, just days before the pandemic, when the idea of mounting a nationwide tour was still being considered, Nashville songwriter Caleb Caudle talked to Rolling Stone about what was at stake for musicians at his level. A new album, Better Hurry Up, was on the horizon and his live shows were booked.
“If my tour goes away, it’s like a farmer losing their crops,” he said. “Anyone who is not a huge superstar, the time right before you go on an album release tour — that’s famine right there.

In early March, as the full threat of the coronavirus was becoming imminent, Nashville songwriter Caleb Caudle made the preemptive decision to begin postponing a 70-date tour in support of his new album, Better Hurry Up. SXSW had been canceled a few days earlier and the forecast for live music wasn’t looking good.
“The worst-case scenario is I go do the whole album release tour and no one shows up because they’re scared,” he told Rolling Stone then, candidly spelling out all the ways that a scrapped touring year could decimate his livelihood.

Now, the album’s success, his live show receipts, and the very livelihood of Caudle and his wife-manager are in jeopardy due to the coronavirus pandemic. His two shows at SXSW disappeared when that festival was canceled last week,...

For his eighth studio album, Nashville songwriter Caleb Caudle sought a little more grit for his rootsy Americana sound. On his new song “Monte Carlo,” he finds it, delivering a nostalgic road trip across his childhood and into the future.
