Alabama-born duo Muscadine Bloodline‘s Charlie Muncaster and Gary Stanton are gearing up for a new chapter, both creatively and professionally. The duo has teamed up with Trenches Records / Republic Records for a new strategic partnership.
“This is about adding horsepower without changing the engine,” the duo’s Muncaster and Stanton said in a statement. “We’ve always believed that if you take care of the fans, everything else follows. That mindset isn’t changing. We’re just adding a team that can help us reach more people while staying true to everything that’s gotten us here.”
Marking their first release through the new partnership, Muscadine Bloodline’s new song, “Escatawpa Hollow,” arrives on Sept. 18.
The duo first launched in 2015, and in just over a decade have built an avid fanbase through solid songwriting, relentless touring and engaging live shows. Muscadine Bloodline has earned RIAA Platinum certifications for “Porch Swing Angel” and “Me On You,” and a Gold certification for their Lainey Wilson collab “Pieces.” The duo has also toured with Wilson, Post Malone and Turnpike Troubadours.
In May, they released their album Sound of Roses; they have previously worked with Thirty Tigers for distribution on their previous four albums. Muscadine Bloodline has also earned two ACM Awards nominations, for duo of the year in 2024 and 2025.
Trenches Records is known for its work with artists including Solon Holt, Derby, and Ava Hall. The label formed in 2024, when digital marketing firm The Trenches, founded by Tom LaScola, teamed with Republic.
