The Cadillac Three has been making regular trips over to Europe and the UK and selling out shows on a consistent basis, and they say it’s because they’re giving the fans what they want. Jaren Johnston believes half the battle of cultivating a loyal following in the UK is just showing up. He says, “It’s pretty wild man. It’s definitely been a thing where, we’ve been there five times in the last 13 months, and it’s a lot of money to get over there. But, what it is, is the fans over there are … like the biggest bands over there are still ZZ Top, Jimmy Hendrix, Zeppelin obviously, and then a lot of heavier, like metal bands, stuff like that. But, those fans are so loyal because those bands put the time in.
Jaren says The Cadillac Three has sold out over 50 shows in the UK, which is wild to them, but as long as the fans keep showing up and embracing them and their music, they’re going to find a way to keep going back every year.
The Cadillac Three is working on their debut album, which will feature their latest single, “White Lightning,” and their debut single, “The South.”

The Cadillac Three – overseas :43
Jaren Johnston – “It’s pretty wild man. It’s definitely been a thing where, we’ve been there five times in the last 13 months, and it’s a lot of money to get over there. But, what it is, is the fans over there are…like the biggest bands over there are still ZZ Top, Jimmy Hendrix, Zeppelin obviously and then a lot of heavier, like metal bands, stuff like that. But, those fans are so loyal because those bands put the time in. They were there. ZZ Top was there every six months back in the day, and they still come over there, Skynyrd too. So, like with us, we’ve been over there and like our first tour…we’ve haven’t played a show in the UK, that we headlined that hasn’t sold out. We sold out every one of them. That’s like 50 shows. It’s a little ridiculous.”
