The Cadillac Three describes their sound as “country fuzz,” which some people might classify as a country/Southern Rock hybrid. Jaren Johnston says the best way to explain their sound is to look at the music they grew up listening to, “from (Lynyrd) Skynyrd to Hank (Williams, Jr.) to Tom Petty and then throw a little Metallica in there.” But they also were influenced by what was big in Nashville while they were growing up including Garth Brooks or Clint Black, Keith Whitley and Don Williams. Jaren says, “We were obsessed with that kind of stuff, and so, naturally being rock fans too it’s just kinda naturally what we do.”

Jaren Johnston – “It’s just a mixture of kind of everything we grew up listenin’ to, from Skynyrd to Hank to Tom Petty and then throw a little Metallica in there. That’s just kinda what we did. Growin’ up in Nashville is, you know, whatever is big at the time, your Garth Brooks or Clint Black, Keith Whitley, Don Williams, all that kinda stuff. We were obsessed with that kind of stuff, and so, naturally being rock fans too it’s just kinda naturally what we do.”
