Rising Fayetteville, Arkansas, singer- songwriter Sawyer Hill has released his astounding first album Everybody’s Home, Nobody’s Happy – out now on AWAL Recordings. The 11-track collection marks a significant new chapter for Hill, bringing together the songs and experiences that have marked his quick ascent while displaying his trademark grit, swagger and great voice in full swing.

Everybody’s Home, Nobody’s Happy sees Hill developing his unique blend of blues, Americana, and alternative rock into his most personal work to date. The record was also shaped by Hill’s first time leaving Arkansas, spending years on the road and coming back home with a broader perspective. The LP grapples with religion, relationships, the lure of home, and the fallacy of the “American Dream.” While Hill’s deep baritone and Southern storytelling remain at the center of the record, the album broadens his sonic palette with swaggering rock hooks, country textures, and moments of bruised vulnerability. The album was crafted during sessions in Los Angeles with collaborators like Mike Crossey (The 1975, Arctic Monkeys), Chris Greatti (Poppy, Yungblud), and Ryan Linville (Olivia Rodrigo, Dermot Kennedy).

On the release of the album, Sawyer says: “’Everybody’s Home, Nobody’s Happy‘ is the first time I’ve let myself write without worrying about what I was supposed to sound like. I wanted to confront the parts of my life and the world around me that I’d been afraid to put into a song and make something I could still believe in decades from now. I didn’t make this record attempting to fit into a genre or impress anybody — I made it because it was the record I needed to make. If someone hears it and feels even a fraction of what I felt making it, that’s enough for me.”

Everybody’s Home, Nobody’s Happy follows a string of breakout releases.

Sawyer emerged with “Look At The Time,” a gritty picture of a relationship nearing rock bottom that reached No. 1 on Spotify’s Viral 50 chart. He continued building momentum with a steady stream of singles before releasing his 2025 debut EP “Heartbreak Hysteria,” with the catchy “High On My Lows.” Hill recently released a studio recording of “Folsom Prison Blues,” his take on fellow Arkansan Johnny Cash’s iconic track and a longtime highlight of his live show. The album received the co-sign from the Cash family as Johnny and June’s son John Carter Cash invited Hill to the Cash cabin in Tennessee. Like fellow artists from the Wonder State, including Al Green, Levon Helm, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Cash himself, Hill carries forward a tradition of observational songwriting that reads like sonic sociology.

Sawyer Hill recently announced an extensive North American tour in support of Everybody’s Home, Nobody’s Happy — a 28-stop run throughout the US and Canada that takes off September 23. He recently performed at Outside Lands and will soon perform at Bourbon & Beyond.
