While it’s been two-and-a-half years since his last full-length album, his acclaimed Big Loud debut Family Ties, Godwin has stayed busy. In February of last year, he released the Lonely Mountain Town EP, featuring collaborations with ERNEST and Scott Avett of musical heroes The Avett Brothers. In September, he released his first-ever live album, Live From The Steel City. The 23-song album documents a sold-out night at Stage AE in Pittsburgh, PA, in front of 5,550 fans, and serves as a display of the power and energy Godwin and his band the Allegheny High bring to each and every show they play.

Godwin and the High also toured extensively in 2025. They hit Europe and the UK, opened for The Avett Brothers on the West Coast in April, and joined Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan on select Outlaw Music Festival dates in July. After selling out their headline debut at Red Rocks in October, Godwin spent November opening for Eric Church on his Free The Machine arena tour.

Godwin has been on a steady upward climb following his beloved debut album, 2019’s Seneca. Alongside his longtime band, the Allegheny High, the musician has developed a reputation as a thrilling and beautifully raucous live performer. Godwin has appeared on ESPN’s Sportscenter, performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and CBS Saturday Sessions.
