The Young Fables (TYF) create music with classic storytelling weaved into Americana roots music with pop sensibilities. East Tennessee (Maryville) natives, Laurel Wright and Wes Lunsford’s unique sound has resonated with audiences around the globe. Strong advocates for mental health awareness, The Young Fables were honored with The Troy Gentry Compassion Award in 2021. The couple received an invitation from multi-platinum songstress Shania Twain to take part in the CBS showcase celebration Real Country. “Wes is a perfect partner for Laurel’s voice. I fell in love with these guys as a genuine, authentic talent and sound,” mused Twain, and Travis Tritt added, “Our industry needs (TYF) right now!” 2023 will see Wright and Lunsford releasing Short Stories, the band’s highly anticipated 4th studio effort, and their feature documentary 'The Fable of a Song’, winner of the 2021 Nashville Film Festival Audience Choice Award.
