What did I say about male songwriters having a moment? Will Pellerin, who was the Deli’s artist of the month back in June, released a single called "Ain’t Got The Heart" back in June that demonstrates excellent storytelling, emotional complexity and humility. If you’re looking to be shattered into pieces by a song, this is the one for you: "I’m not asking if you’re coming back/ ain’t got the heart for that," he sings, with a strange blend of fearlessness and sorrow that is simply painful. In a good way. Like, you won’t be able to stop listening. Pellerin plays the Basement with another one of our favorite Nashville songwriters, Charli Adams, on 8.13. –Geena Kloeppel
