who is verygently?

verygently is the collaboration between three established Nashville singer-songwriters”Drew Erwin, Joey Hendricks, and Tristan Bushman. After joining forces in early 2024, verygently’s debut EP and tours with Augustana and The Band Camino attracted the attention of fans with their high-energy live shows and songs that blend wit with vulnerability, cutting through heartache with the charm of three best friends kicking back. 

With their first EP, Dumba$$ Mode, verygently kicks down the doors of singer-songwriter stereotypes, proving that heartache doesn’t have to keep you down. Instead, songs like “Sir This is a Wendys” deliver a lament with a wink, while the indie-rock footstomper “Get Over You” is propelled by three part harmonies that only come from artists who have found their perfect match in each other. 

Their forthcoming EP, produced by Noah Gunderson, sees verygently fully embracing itself as a band that is more than the sum of its parts. With Bushman’s moody storytelling, Erwin’s soaring melodies, and Hendrick’s ‘70s-infused songwriting, the result is both of-the-moment and timeless. Recorded to analog tape at Fame studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, the EP lays a strong foundation for the promising future of verygently.
