THIS WEEK’S Music Lineup
STEELE FOUNTAIN
Steele Fountain, comprising Hailey Steele and Jerry Fuentes, met in 2017 when Fuentes moved to Nashville with his band The Last Bandoleros. They started collaborating on songwriting and, in 2021, switched from writing a Euro-dance album to creating a country song instead. The duo’s name combines their last names, with Fuentes meaning “fountains” in Spanish. Steele, a former contestant on The Voice, has written songs for artists like Raelynn and Kalie Shorr and performed with Kelsea Ballerini and Willie Nelson. Fuentes has toured with Sting and produced for Shaggy and Chris Housman. Their music blends Steele’s country vocals and Fuentes’ flamenco guitar, resulting in a mainstream country sound with a unique twist.
