Then I Met You - Wade McCoy

An album by Inelia Benz

Wade McCoy has a story to tell.

Then I Met You follows a man who has already done some living by the time love finds him. He’s quit whiskey, learned how to stand on his own two feet, and settled into a life that suits him just fine. Then a woman with turquoise earrings and long black hair walks into the feed store, and suddenly that carefully ordered life starts going somewhere new.

Across the album, Wade’s story unfolds one song at a time: chance meetings, feed-store Fridays, county fairs, brisket at the firefighters’ barbecue, an auction-barn kitten, first dates, quiet mornings, and all those ordinary moments that become extraordinary when they belong to two people falling in love.

The songs are warm, funny, grounded and unmistakably country, with a grown-up romance at their heart. This isn’t a story about being rescued or completed. It’s about building a good life for yourself, then discovering how much richer it can become when the right person walks into it.

Wade McCoy is one of the musical voices created by Inelia Benz, with AI instrumentation and production bringing his world and sound to life. The writing, storytelling, creative direction and artistic vision behind Then I Met You are Inelia’s.
