Briston Lee Maroney is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Knoxville, Tennessee who is signed to Canvasback Music and Atlantic Records.

Those songs all appeared on his first EP with Canvasback Music and Atlantic Records called Carnival, released in November 2018.

[18] In May 2019, he released his second major label EP, Indiana, a collection of songs focusing on the change that came from his time spent living between Knoxville, California, and Florida, and ultimately his move to Nashville.

[20] Later that month, another song from the collection, "Fool's Gold", was featured on Taylor Swift's Apple Music "Playlist by ME!".

He has also expressed his appreciation for indie rock bands like Wallows, The Districts, and Illiterate Light, as well as current Americana acts such as Dogwood Tales, Jason Isbell, and Kacey Musgraves.

[24][25] Maroney stated that, within the span of about a month in 2018, he dropped out of college, ended a relationship, and, thus, had to find a permanent place to stay and a stable job to work at.
