Watch Hell's Kitchen star Kennedy Caughell sing "Tell Your Story" from the new folk-inspired musical The Dust Bowl Radio Hour in the video above. The musical—which features a book and lyrics by Sean McGee and music by Kasey Dillon Yeargain—released a concept album on streaming platforms April 6.

Set in 1930s Oklahoma, the musical follows a young boy whose mother disappears during the dust storms. A radio host steps up to help him search by sending out stories across the airwaves, and what begins as a desperate broadcast becomes a series of fables that travel farther than the two of them ever expected.

With nine tracks, the bluegrass and folk-inspired album features vocal performances by Caughell (Hell’s Kitchen, Wicked), JJ Niemann (Back to the Future, Hamilton), McGee (Jersey Boys), Lucy Rhoades (Mean Girls), Yeargain, Brooke Shapiro (Punk Rock Girl World Premiere), Jeremy Abram (Louis Armstrong: Jazz Ambassador), Christopher James Tamayo (Maybe Happy Ending, Les Miserables), and Riley Thompson. The ensemble includes Brianna Kothari Barnes (Walking with Bubbles), Tre’ Frazier (MJ the Musical), Owen Ing (Mean Girls), Gage Martinez (Basura: A New Musical), Christopher Persichetti, David Socolar (Company, Waitress), and Amy Weaver (Jersey Boys, Mama Mia).
