Waylon Nihipali
Country Music artist, Waylon Nihipali is a rising success in the Country Music world. Born and raised on the Big Island of Hawaii, Waylon was introduced to Country Music at a very young age due to his parents passion for Country Music. Hence, the reason he was named Waylon! Named after the Legendary Waylon Jennings, we presume he was destined to end up as a Country Artist. Waylon wrote his first song while in the Air Force. Doing a TDY in South Korea. Waylon and some buddies played music in a warehouse on base where he wrote the song “ He’s Her Life “ which was later to be released in 2022, and went viral on YouTube and TikTok multiple times. Backing up alittle to Waylon’s first single, he released his debut single “ In Another Man’s Truck” which was his first success in 2020. “In Another Man’s Truck” hit a whopping 1 million views in approximately 6 months on YouTube. That’s a big deal for a new artist. In 2021, Waylon made the ultimate decision to pack up and move to Nashville, TN where he went on to record more music. He recorded He’s Her Life which was a big success for him. He also released “Thataway” which is a big talk today. Waylon’s latest release was award winning “ I Fish “ written by the talented Brenda Cay. That song was pitched to Waylon and turned out fantastic. Waylon’s next release “Living For Me” comes out March 17th, 2023. Waylon’s connection to the Military and Country Music has landed him a spot on stage playing at the first Annual Walla Walla Music Festival come June 04, 2023. This event is is dedicated to all the Military Veterans and that, Waylon is super exited and honored to be a part of as he is a US Veteran,himself.

The group's genuine love (and authentic recreation) of Johnny Cash’s music and its universal appeal fans of all ages and of virtually all musical genres makes each Cash’d Out show a must-see event.
