Caden Gillard

Caden Gillard is a Southwest Louisiana native and former professional bull rider—cancer survivor who taught himself guitar between PRCA go-rounds and turned gold-buckle grit into red-dirt country rock. Albums Gold Buckle Dreams (2018), Red Dirt Rock N Roll (2020), and Love & Heartbreak (2022) blend old-school honky-tonk, rock, and blues; singles Rewind, Don’t Take Her Texas, and Just Outside of Dallas grew streams while Nashville writer-round work and Six String Circus band dates put him on bills with Zach Bryan, Cody Johnson, Lee Brice, Koe Wetzel, Midland, and more. Now based in Music City, he still tours as a road warrior with rodeo tenacity and faith-forward stage presence.
