Looking for a good time and good vibes? Meet THE LACS. They’re a country rap duo based in Baxley, GA. Clay Sharpe and Brian King started the duo over a decade ago. They combine the styles of country, southern rock, rap and blues to form their own unique style and sound.
On September 20, 2024, THE LACS, the Georgia-based duo of Clay Sharpe and Brian King, will release their highly anticipated album, ‘Story of a Trainwreck.’ This latest collection of 12 new recordings marks a notable shift from their signature country rap style to a more mainstream country sound, showcasing their versatility and growth as artists.
‘Story of a Trainwreck’ is more than just an album; it’s a chronicle of THE LACS’ journey. It’s a testament to their growth as musicians and individuals, blending mainstream country influences with their unique storytelling style. Clay Sharpe and Brian King have crafted a collection of songs that resonate with authenticity and passion, inviting listeners to experience their world through music.
“We all know that America has been through a lot these past few years. But as THE LACS, we’ve had a unique view of where we’ve been, where we’re going and what parts of our identity haven’t changed at all,” said the band. “Above all else, home is where everything we do begins and ends. We still live near where we were born; you can sense it in every note we sing and word we say. We want to make folks back home proud when they listen to us.”

Sterling Elza is a Red Dirt singer/songwriter raised deep in the Texas Panhandle. Born into a ranching family that already had three musicians, Sterling took to music from the beginning with guitar lessons starting at the age of 5. Drawing influences from his parents’ music, which could range from “old school Red Dirt” to top 40 country, all the way to grunge and classic rock, Sterling began his musical journey. Sterling continued taking guitar lessons until he moved to Florida where he played tennis at the IMG Academy. After the passing of his uncle – “Big Ster” — and 3 years in Florida, Sterling decided it was time to make a change and fully commit to a life and career in music.
Returning to Texas seemed the perfect choice for a budding songwriter. Now calling New Braunfels home, Sterling launched into the Red Dirt scene with the 2024 release of his debut album, Simpler Days. His album cracked the Top 25 Rock Albums on Apple, and the following week, his single Next Week entered the Top 40 Apple Rock Songs chart. His love of music and his passion for performing drive him to continue perfecting his craft and learning from some of the best in the business. With a five-piece band and a wall of sound, it won’t be long before Sterling Elza is a household name in Red Dirt music.
