Artist Information
Comprised of powerhouse musicians Heather Berry Mabe, Tony Mabe, Curt Love and Johnathan Dillon, Red Camel Collective has quickly become one of the most talked-about new names in modern Bluegrass. Fresh off winning the 2025 International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Award for New Artist of the Year, which is one of the genre’s highest honors, the group has firmly established themselves as one of Bluegrass music’s brightest rising acts.
Their self-titled debut album made an immediate impact, spending its first three months at No. 1 on the Bluegrass Unlimited Album Chart, while also holding strong for 30 consecutive weeks in the Top 20 of the Roots Music Report Contemporary Bluegrass Album Chart. The critically acclaimed project produced multiple charting hit singles including “Roll On Mississippi,” “Sincerity,” “Last Time I Saw Him” (featuring Suzanne Cox & Sharon White) and “Daughter of the Stars,” which became their first No. 1 on the Cashbox Bluegrass Chart.
Praised by various publications, and nearly every major Bluegrass and Roots outlet, critics have described Red Camel Collective’s debut as “an exceptional project, well worthy of your attention” and hailed the group as “one of the hottest new bands in the bluegrass scene.”
Blending heartfelt vocals, masterful musicianship and a modern approach to traditional roots, the band’s sound is both timeless and refreshingly new. While continuing to tour nationwide—including performances alongside Junior Sisk—the group is currently in the studio recording their highly anticipated sophomore album. The project’s lead single, “In The Mexican Sun,” was released in October 2025, offering a glimpse into the next exciting chapter of their musical journey, with the full album expected in 2026.
