Assuming the multiple roles of songwriter, engineer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Sadler began the recording process for Radio Road during the summer of 2011. This 7 song EP, also featuring background vocals from special guests Shovels & Rope, was a true labor of love… “My dad, who passed away in 2004, always wanted me to make a record where I played all the instruments” says Sadler. “So I played everything, except for pedal steel. In fact, drums were the first instrument I ever played.” Influenced by Todd Rundgren’s Something/Anything?, Sadler created Radio Road as a snapshot in time of his transition from Charleston rock band Leslie’s bandleader to Drivin N Cryin lead guitarist and solo artist. “This record encapsulates where I am as a songwriter/artist right now and is a perfect glimpse into what’s ahead” says Sadler.
