'Cash', is a soul-stirring performer in the Americana tradition spanning a fusion of Blues, Rock, Soul, Funk, and more. The recipient of the 2025 International Singer-Songwriters Association Musician of the Year Gold Award, Angel is a lifelong Georgia resident and a sought-after artist throughout the southern United States all the way to festival main stages across Europe. His multi-instrumental talents reach from the Sacred Steel guitar, electric & acoustic guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, & organ to his soulful vocals and powerful songwriting. Angel's skill sets naturally dovetailed into his work as an in-demand studio producer across many genres. During his 25-plus-year career, Angel's captivating performances earned him several residencies at premiere venues around Georgia, including as the house guitarist at Grant's Lounge, where he still performs when he's not on tour. He's equally comfortable performing solo and collaborating with other artists on the fly. His mainstay, as a performer, is leading his own band, Cash's Juke Joint, which is steeped in the fusion of grooves he grew up with – from the Gospel church traditions to the funk, soul, blues, and rock. They meld together like a beautiful gumbo that encompasses his signature sound. Angel and his band have opened for musicians including Patti LaBelle, The O'Jay's, Mother's Finest, Jill Scott, Mannie Fresh, Lamar Williams, Jr., The Wailers, and Swamp Dogg, to name a few. Some of the musicians he has performed alongside include Albert Castiglia, Angie Stone, Marcus King, AJ Haynes, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, Alex Isley, Travis Greene, Calvin Cooke, Robert Randolph, Chuck Campbell & Charlie Musselwhite. Angel's latest project, The Road Home on Wild Ivory Records, is his highly-anticipated solo debut of all originals. This self-produced bounty of music has already gained universal acclaim with far reaching International airplay, and chart topping recognition. The Netherland's Top 100 Charts declared it the Most Highly Recommended Album, in September when it debuted, while simultaneously hitting #33 and #38 – respectively – for Mr. Eraser and Early in the Morning on the singles charts.
