SPIRE LOBBY SERIES: THE YOUNG FABLES

Presented by The Antonia and Vladimir Kulaev Cultural Heritage Fund.

This series showcases local and regional musicians in a relaxed and intimate setting. The lobby is transformed into a 70-seat showcase lounge!

The Young Fables are a Country Pop and Roots duo from Maryville, Tennessee, featuring vocalist Laurel Wright and guitarist songwriter Wesley Lunsford. Known for their emotionally honest songwriting and captivating live performances, the duo blend timeless storytelling with modern pop sensibilities to create music that resonates deeply with audiences.

Advocates for mental health awareness, The Young Fables use their platform to encourage openness, healing, and connection. Their feature documentary, The Fable of a Song, earned the Audience Choice Award at the Nashville Film Festival, and the duo received the Troy Gentry Compassion Award for their work promoting mental health and wellness.

Praised by artists including Sheryl Crow, Keith Urban, and Travis Tritt, The Young Fables have been featured on Rolling Stone’s 10 Best Country and Americana Songs of the Week, shared stages with Vince Gill, Amy Grant, and Rascal Flatts, and were personally invited by Shania Twain to perform on CBS’s Real Country. Signed to a publishing deal with BMG, the duo have released four studio albums and are currently preparing to unveil music from their highly anticipated fifth full length record, with new releases arriving throughout late 2026. As they continue touring nationwide, The Young Fables remain committed to creating songs that offer hope, authenticity, and connection in an increasingly disconnected world.
