Hasting

In a genre where outside musical influence has easily overtaken priority to roots, Hasting & Co. founding members Kate Hasting and Josh Beale feel a welcomed responsibility to use other genres as a compliment to their Midwest country sound. Born and raised farm kids in Ohio (Hasting) and Wisconsin (Beale), the duo met at a local Nashville dive and... began writing together. Hasting's resolution and drive quickly opened Beale's mind to the possibility of starting a band. "I saw something in her vision that I didn't see anywhere else, and I didn't even have on my own. I immediately knew we worked better as a team than separate entities. They released debut EP Country Music in 2013 under the name Kate Hasting Band, then singles "Just Friend," "Behind the Bleachers" and "Country Music (Reprise) in 2015. The video for "Behind the Bleachers" earned director Nishan Gilmet an Emmy nomination, and was quickly picked up by Great American Country, The Country Network (formerly ZUUS Country) and several other regional music outlets nationwide. In October 2017, Hasting and Beale followed up with EP Can't Get Enough and, shortly after, rebranded to Hasting & Co. They capped 2018 with the release single "American Love," premiering the track exclusively with Parade and video with Sounds Like Nashville, and kicked off 2019 with the release of "One. Most recently, Hasting & Co. released "Brunch Drunk" - the video for the single is due out in early 2020.Read More
