ABOUT ANNIE BOSKO

Sometimes an artistic career can take you so far, you end up back where you started – and for Stone Country Records singer-songwriter Annie Bosko, that’s just fine.

With a voice that beams like a ray of California sunshine, Bosko’s country music journey has seen her travel the world, evolving and exploring with the respect of fans and heroes alike. But after years of hard knocks and creative shapeshifting, Bosko is now coming home. Home to the record deal of her dreams. Home to simple country songs told from the heart, equal parts healing and hope. She’s come home to a sound and approach anchored deep in the organic twang of the ‘90s golden era – a sound inspiring several chart toppers today and to hear her tell it, not a moment too soon.

Call it a full circle breakthrough for a celebrated stylist who was always just on the cusp – and always punching above her weight. A Californian farmer’s daughter with a work ethic to match, Bosko’s first musical love was legendary crooners like Patsy Cline, and for her own personal style, she added traits like Twain’s empowering energy, Strait’s rugged confidence, Dwight Yoakam’s neo-traditional, western rock edge and the melodic genius of The Beatles.

As a teen, she went from sneaking into karaoke bars to singing on the soundtrack of Disney’s The Little Mermaid 2, and by the mid-2000s had made her way to Music City. Intent on writing her own ticket (and songs), she adapted as best she could for the “bro-country” era – but even then, her biggest success let her traditional roots show. By 2015, a foot-stomping anthem to sweetheart rebellion called “Crooked Halo” became a hit on both SiriusXM and CMT, and with mandolins and banjos featured front and center, it has now amassed more than 3 million streams.

Bosko went on to write songs recorded by Willie Nelson and Jessica Simpson, tour alongside Tim McGraw, Dierks Bentley and Blake Shelton, sell out the famed Troubadour and perform on the Grand Ole Opry and at Ryman Auditorium – the fabled Mother Church of Country Music. Her smooth, supple voice made her an in-demand studio musician, recording backing vocals for icons like Adele, Andrea Bocelli, and Darius Rucker. And through it all, she was lauded by tastemakers like Rolling Stone Country as an “Artist to Watch.”

Still, she felt the bumps and bruises of an independent artist’s life, and even moved home a few times – only to be pulled back by icons like Vince Gill, Dwight Yoakam and Raul Malo, who graciously appeared on a series of grittier tracks coming out of a much-needed pandemic re-centering.

That chapter was another experiment, Bosko explains, but the validation of her heroes taught a priceless lesson – namely, to trust her instincts. So, she’s now using those instincts to embrace her true nature. Signed to Stone Country Records and working with producers Derek George and Mickey Jack Cones, a new batch of music pairs unapologetic twang, clever wordplay and deep compassion with her longstanding downhome-diva vocal. Bosko found a way to stop overthinking, and just do what feels right.

With a “fearless” pure-country sound and edge-of-your-seat songwriting, Bosko captures the full range of this American art form at its best – working with co-writers like Jeffrey Steele, Bridgette Tatum, Danny Myrick and more to uplift, inspire or just sing along with women everywhere.

Tracks like the grooving “Neon Baby” capture the sensual side of mature femininity, as Bosko flexes her “neo-traditional” soul for a passionate, steel-laced slow burner. “I think we have enough male-bashing songs out there,” she says with a laugh. “This is the antithesis to that.” Others like “Boots On” re-ignite the line-dancing energy and all-out fun of the ‘90s, offering a wild ride of guitar riffs, soaring melodies and let-your-hair-down lyrics, dedicated to women who truly do it all (with their boots on). Meanwhile, fiddle rockers like “Honky Tonk Highway” tribute the women bold enough to chase their dreams – wherever they lead – and the tongue-in-cheek “He Gone” continues country’s long history of fun (but undeniably intelligent) wordplay. “Sass is definitely a part of who I am, and it’s always been in country music, too,” Bosko says. “That’s always been the beauty of it – country music can be about beer drinking and having fun, or it can make you cry.” That truth is on full display in “Dandelions” – a powerful-yet-tender ballad dedicated to the families of the tragic shooting at Nashville’s Covenant School. Pairing heartbroken lyrics with the delicate warmth of Bosko’s voice, the track was written on March 27, 2023 – lost in grief and capturing the reverberating shock of that day’s unfathomable loss … while still holding on to faith. Embraced by the families themselves, all proceeds from “Dandelions” are being donated for their benefit through ACM Lifting Lives. But the song’s impact goes beyond this one community. That hope can also be found in “Sometimes I Forget,” as the tried-and-true artist delivers a “much needed” message of gratitude. With spirit-lifting lyrics and a sonic swell of warm country rock, it’s an acknowledgment of the little things we take for granted– those small blessings that make us “us.” For Bosko, finally being able to see those little things has let her become the country artist she was always meant to be.

ABOUT DAVID VOSS & BIG COUNTRY

Although David has roots in Texas, Kansas, and Utah, he has spent more than 20 years calling Arizona home, and Arizona is the birthplace of his own dream, David Voss & Big Country. As is the case with most music lovers, music has been used to define the biggest moments of his life. Each song from his life channels memories and invokes emotions of all types and feelings. Most of David’s musical roots come from his seven brothers and sisters and parents who also love music. His earliest memories are of his parents filling their home with the varied music of The Beatles, Barbershop Quartet, Gospel Choir Music, Rod Stewart, The Bee Gees, John Phillip Sousa, The Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, and Neil Diamond.

Sharing a room with his high school age oldest brother introduced him to bands such as Pink Floyd, Queen, Sex Pistols, Michael Jackson, and a slew of early 80’s hairbands such as Ratt. With his older brother leaving the home after high school, David’s older sisters continued to shape his musical tastes introducing him to 80’s Rock and Pop. David listened to everything from U2, Erasure, and Depeche Mode to Metallica and 80’s Glam hairbands such as Bon Jovi, Poison, Def Leppard, Cinderella, Warrant, Motley Crue, and White Snake. It is interesting that up to that point, there was no exposure to David’s current art form and muse, Country Music.

It wasn’t until high school that David was exposed and found love for the simplicity and majesty of “Three Chords and the Truth.” A new kid moved into the neighborhood from North Carolina. This friend listened to almost nothing else but country. This being the early 90’s, Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, and George Strait were the kings of the moment. From there, David fell in line with the mainstream crowd immersing himself with the riffs, harmonies, and poetic lyrics from the two-stepping tunes and the love songs of the time. However, David’s high school friend gave him more than a taste of the founding fathers such as Hank Sr., Hank Jr., Waylon, Merle, Johnny, Conway Twitty, and David Allen Coe.

ABOUT BUCKSHOT & BELL BOTTOMS

Hailing from Arizona, Buckshot & Bell Bottoms will have you dancing all night long!

ABOUT THE KRUSE BROTHERS

During a time when the popular choice is to chase the double yellow line down the road to country radio, fresh to the table, The Kruse Brothers want to earn their seat at the country music table, just not by chasing the status quo. The Arizona-raised five-piece is a fusion of Country, Rhythm & Blues, Americana, and folk-rock stacked on a blues foundation.

Chandler and Miles, the band’s core, take turns as lead vocalists, creating a dynamic duo that provides a diverse sound ready for an expansive audience. Their debut EP, ‘Mountain Red,’ released on all streaming platforms in May of 2024.

ABOUT AMERICAN MILE

Forming in 2018, American Mile has been carving their name into the roots of southern rock and country music around North America. With influences ranging from Aerosmith and The Black Crowes to Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, and Tom Petty, their powerful sound has garnered them important shows in front of thousands at festivals and stages.

Performances at Summerfest, the NASCAR Auto Club 400, a NYE headlining slot at The infamous Idaho Potato Drop in Boise, Concert In The Park Sacramento ’22, Country Summer Music Festival ’24, opening for artists such as Lindsey Ell, Tyler Rich, Kameron Marlowe, Buckcherry, Colt Ford, Nate Smith, Blue Oyster Cult, and after-parties for 3 Doors Down, Erich Church, and Old Dominion have proven American Mile is a must-see act time and time again.

American Mile drew attention around Los Angeles with their explosive stage presence and country rock/southern rock sound coupled with three-part harmonies. In 2020 American Mile released their debut-album “The Longest Road”. Grammy Nominated Producers/Songwriters Bruce Witkin and Keith Nelson contributed to the 11-track release, and in 2021 the band started working alongside national booking agency Mason Entertainment. American Mile does 200 gigs a year, including Moonshine Flats (San Diego), Goldfields (Sacramento), The Viper Room (Los Angeles) and many more up-and-down the West Coast.

ABOUT TENNESSEE JET

Long before Tennessee Jet began crisscrossing America as a one-man band, playing nightly shows full of fuzz guitar, primal percussion, and songs that split the difference between country and raw rock & roll, he traveled the interstates of Oklahoma with his bronc-riding father and barrel-racing mother. Sitting on the bench seat of an old Ford pickup truck pulling a horse trailer while heading to the next rodeo, he’d watch the grasslands of his home state fly past the windshield at highway speed. Country music was always on the radio back then, and those songs — honest, heartfelt classics by icons like Willie Nelson and Dwight Yoakam, both of whom he’d eventually join on tour — left a permanent mark. The Country, Tennessee Jet’s third album, nods to that childhood soundtrack. A salute to the sounds of his youth, these songs double down on Jet’s country and folk influences, without sacrificing the left-of-center approach that’s earned him a reputation as a genre bender. Honky-tonk ballads, twin fiddles, and country two-steps rub shoulders with a Nirvana-inspired rock song (“Johnny,” a tribute to 1950s legend Johnny Horton) and a bluegrass cover of the Black Crowes’ “She Talks to Angels.” The result is a richly textured album that’s both classic and modern in the same breath. This is raw, truthful country music — a reinvention of the sound that’s always formed the bedrock of Tennessee Jet’s artistry, even during his most amplified moments.

“My career has been a constant purging of what I’ve done before, so I can reinvent and create something that’s uniquely me,” says Jet, who kicked off his touring career by taking the stage alone, an electric guitar strapped across his chest and a drum set at his feet, accompanying himself with a one-man fuzz-filled wall of sound. It was an approach that owed as much to rock & roll’s distorted stomp as country music’s twang, and for Jet — an enthusiastic fan of Neil Young and Jack White, two forward-thinking rockers who, like Jet, refuse to be pigeonholed — the contrast between those genres was the whole point.

The Country marks the most collaborative project of Jet’s career. A songwriter, front man, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, he took a do-it-yourself approach to his 2015 debut and 2017’s Reata, both of which found Jet playing every instrument himself. The Country references those early years with songs like the autobiographical “Stray Dogs,” whose lyrics find a young Jet speeding down the Indian Nation Turnpike, his future wife riding shotgun, fueled by a combination of love, truck stop gasoline, and the need to make it to the next show on time. For an album that often pays homage to Jet’s DIY past, though, The Country also finds him teaming up with Dwight Yoakam’s touring band, whose members add Telecaster twang and Cali-country cool to Jet’s raw, ragged edges. Paul Cauthen, Cody Jinks, and Elizabeth Cook all lend a hand, too, duetting with Jet on their respective tracks while also teaming up for an all-hands-on-deck version of “Pancho and Lefty.” Additional guests include longtime Willie Nelson bandmate Mickey Raphael who lends harmonica as well as Lady Gaga bandleader Brian Newman on trumpet.

While The Country may be stocked with star power from the alt-country fringes, it’s Tennessee Jet who shines the brightest. A lifelong explorer who literally grew up on the road, he writes about love, loss, legends, and the pursuit of the muse in a voice that’s at once worldly and distinctly Oklahoman, peppering his lyrics with references to other literary heroes who, like him, shine at showcasing a sense of place: Faulkner, Shakespeare, Kerouac, and Woody Guthrie. Co-produced by the songwriter himself, The Country finds Tennessee Jet occupying his own sort of artistic crossroads, planting one boot in the nostalgic sounds of his past while pointing the other in a direction of his own making. This is his version of country music — a sound that, in Jet’s hands, becomes both fresh and familiar.

ABOUT CHAD FREEMAN & REDLINE

Chad Freeman & Redline, established on March 13, 2009, swiftly cultivated a unique sound that resonated locally and beyond.

Presley & Taylor’s debut EP, “Limited Edition (Side A),” has been a game-changer for the duo.

ABOUT GRAHAM BARHAM

Graham Barham, originally from the quiet Louisiana village of Oak Ridge with just 124 residents, brings a distinctive Southern charm to his music. His songs paint vivid pictures of small-town life—moss-draped ponds, pickup trucks, and winding country roads are recurring motifs woven into his soulful lyrics. Despite his rural upbringing, Barham’s music transcends geographical boundaries, resonating deeply with audiences far beyond his hometown.

At 24, Barham’s journey to musical prominence began early, inspired by legends like George Strait and fueled by a knack for crafting catchy melodies honed during his formative years. His path to Nashville saw him evolve from singing in church as a child to penning heartfelt tunes that blend the raw honesty of country with the immediacy of pop influences. His breakout single, “Preachers Need People,” released in 2022, catapulted him into viral fame, showcasing his ability to infuse everyday stories with profound emotional depth.

Raised on a farm by a farmer father and a schoolteacher mother, Barham’s music reflects his blue-collar roots and an innate understanding of life’s highs and lows. His move to Nashville at 18 marked a turning point, where he immersed himself in songwriting, collaborating across genres and refining his unique brand of country music—authentic, heartfelt, and rich with personal narrative.

Produced largely by Will Bundy, whose credits include Keith Urban and Jason Aldean, Barham’s debut album on Virgin Records promises a collection of songs that capture the complexities of life’s journey. Tracks like “BREAK IT IN A BAR” and “TWO BROKE HEARTS” showcase his emotive vocals and incisive storytelling, while “Beer By My Bed” delves into moments of introspection and regret with unflinching honesty.

Looking ahead, Barham remains committed to crafting music that resonates on a soul-deep level, offering listeners a cathartic experience through his lyrics. Whether reflecting on personal growth, relationships, or the joy of a night out, his songs invite listeners to connect with their own stories. With each performance, Graham Barham continues to define his place in the world of country music, driven by a passion for authenticity and a desire to touch hearts with every verse.

ABOUT MATT FARRIS

With an unparalleled passion for country music, it comes as no surprise that Laminate Entertainment artist Matt Farris’s career has gotten off to a promising start. A heart for helping those in need paired with an incredible talent and positive energy has allowed for the early and natural growth of a significant fan base. All these characteristics have given Farris a strong foundation on which to build his career – one that, at the hands of another, was almost instantaneously taken away.

Entertaining family and friends from the moment he spoke his first word, Farris’s passion for entertainment has always been apparent. With an early exchange of lullabies for classic country tunes sung by his mother Sandra, the Lake Havasu City, Arizona native has ever since gravitated toward the genre.

After graduating high school, Farris moved to Flagstaff to attend Northern Arizona University and later to Phoenix where he became an emergency medical technician and certified fire fighter through The Glendale Community College Fire Academy – all the while continuing to work on his music. His plight for country music stardom, however, nearly came to a tragic end when an altercation with two strangers trying to steal his father’s truck left both Farris and his father shot. “There were a few men looking to steal my dad’s truck. We tried to stop them… At one point, one of the men pulled out a gun and shot. My dad stepped in front of me, and the bullet went through him and into me. We were both extremely fortunate our injuries weren’t more serious.”

The incident put the importance of family and music into perspective for Farris, who formed a band with his father and grandfather – both musicians themselves. Eager to get back to his music, Farris began playing out around Phoenix, continuing to build his career and fan base. In 2010, he surprised the band by entering the Colgate Country Showdown, making it into the Arizona State Finals. Encouraged by his success, Farris made the move to Nashville to further his career in 2010.

In late 2011, Farris came to the attention of Skytone Entertainment owner and veteran producer Frank Green. His first single, Redneck Radio, saw placement in both the Billboard Indicator (peak #56) and Music Row (peak #38) charts, as well as holding a position at #1 on the Indie World Country chart four weeks in a row in 2012 going into 2013. His 2nd single, Resident Redneck, continued to ascend the charts and was nominated for industry trade New Music Weekly’s New Music Country Single of the Year Award. Radio and industry trades aren’t the only ones that have taken notice – on February 1st, 2014, the cast of Country Music Television’s (CMT) My Big Redneck Family sported Matt Farris shirts on an all-new episode. Releasing “She’s Done ” saw huge chart success as well followed by “Me or The Whiskey” which climbed fast and gave Farris serious opportunities opening for major artists.

Farris continues to play live as much as possible reaching close to 300 shows a year , sharing the stage with Trace Adkins, Easton Corbin, Trailer Choir, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lonestar, Dwight Yoakam, Darryl Worley, Trent Tomlinson, Adam Gregory, Keith Anderson, Colt Ford, Jason Aldean, Tyler Farr, Joe Diffie, Gord Bamford, Blake Shelton, Jerrod Neimann, Chris Janson, Brett Eldredge, Chris Young, Cassadee Pope, Jake Owen, and many more. Despite a full schedule, Farris still finds time to give back, supporting both the Make a Wish Foundation, Dreams and Wishes Tennessee and the American Cancer Society focusing on Breast Cancer Awareness. After losing friend Denise to the disease, he started Denise’s Day – an annual benefit in his hometown of Lake Havasu City, AZ in which he and his hometown has now raised well over $100,000 for families fighting the ultimate fight.

ABOUT JACKSON MICHELSON

Raised in Corvallis, Oregon, Jackson Michelson kicked off his country career on the West Coast, carving out a sound that blended the rootsy twang of the American South with the sunny, feel-good spirit of the Pacific Coast. Nashville — the official capital of country music — lay 2,300 miles to the southeast, but Michelson focused on his home turf first, building an audience of West Coast fans who were drawn to his high-energy shows and relatable songwriting. By the time he did move to Nashville, he’d already spent years on the road, growing his fan base show-by-show and earning a record contract with Curb Records in the process.

It’s been a wild ride for the man who grew up in the “Grass Seed Capital of the World,” listening to the diverse sounds of his mother’s favorite country songs and his dad’s soul records.

Once his older brother landed a record deal as a Christian artist, though, Michelson found himself with a different sort of summertime gig: selling t-shirts and CDs at his sibling’s gigs. Touring the country at a young age lit a fire inside Michelson, who began playing in bands back at home. He started writing original music, too, drawing on his own experiences to create songs that balanced high-energy hooks with good-natured, real-world storylines. It was music shaped by what he listened to and where he came from.

Songs like “The Good Life,” which has since become a popular track on SiriusXM radio, helped spread Michelson’s music to new fans across the country. Most of the grunt work, though, was done on the road, where Michelson delivered more than 100 shows per year. He opened for artists like Lee Brice, Blake Shelton, and Frankie Ballard, earning new fans along the way. To him, those fans were everything. They were his muse, his support system, his champions. Crowd interaction became a crucial part of every Jackson Michelson show, and he always ended each gig the same way: by meeting fans, shaking hands, and becoming friends with those who enjoyed his music.

Now, with a record deal under his belt, Michelson is prepping for the next phase of his career. There are new shows to play, new songs to write, and new opportunities to explore. But he’s still the boy from Corvallis, happy to sing about “The Good Life” — a life he’s built himself, show by show and song by song — to an audience that continues to grow.

ABOUT JAKE JACOBSEN

Country crooner Jake Jacobson is cut from a different cloth.

A world-class athlete from the age of five, Jacobson performed at levels most people never dream of — all before he turned 17. And during the most stressful times of his young career, Jacobson turned to country music. Now, the neo-traditional “throwback kid” is spinning his own country gold.

With roots in Reno, Nevada, and an upbringing in a Northern California ranching town of 2,000 people, Jacobson finds himself drawn to the stories and lifestyles of the unique characters intersecting his life. And those are precisely the people and places that jump from the speakers on his latest work, the four-song EP Reno.

On Reno, Jacobson celebrates what made him — from the blistering weather of Nevada’s high desert to the neo-traditional country sounds he first heard from his dad’s own honky tonk band in the late 90s and early 2000s. You don’t need to listen hard to hear the influence Jacobson pulled from getting up on stage as a young kid and singing along to Brooks & Dunn’s “Neon Moon” with his dad.

But Jacobson is far from a tribute act. Much like his heroes before him (artists like Keith Whitley, Randy Travis, and Cody Johnson), Jacobson finds inspiration in the people and places that make his perspective unique.

“Reno is a city where there’s no last call,” Jacobson says. The combination of alcohol, gambling, and nearby outdoor destinations like Lake Tahoe make it a unique cross-section of all kinds of kinds. In his song “First Call,” Jacobson turns that trope on its head as a clever ode to leaning on the reliable ones in your life instead of the vices that can dig you deeper into the ground.

Reno the EP is much like Reno the city, in a lot of ways. For one, the four-song EP takes turns that feel uniquely distinct but each vital to what makes the work whole — much like the changing weather in the mountain town. “We truly have all four seasons of weather,” Jacobson says. “You just never know when one season stops and the other begins because they rotate year-round.”

And while Jacobson’s rising path to success is one tinged with a tip of the hat to the modern age — his first big break came when Randall King caught wind of a cover he posted on Twitter and invited him to come out to Nashville, eventually leading to his debut EP with Trent Willmon and a slew of dates opening for artists like King, Clay walker, and Kip Moore — there’s no doubt his continued success will be a testament to the timeless values of hard work and good storytelling.

ABOUT TIGIRLILY GOLD

Sister duo Tigirlily Gold has been playing music together since they could walk, and officially formed their band in high school. Growing up, they crisscrossed the mid-west, growing a fierce fan base and selling out amphitheaters across their home-state of North Dakota. After moving to Nashville, they landed a weekly residence at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row on Nashville’s famed lower Broadway. Playing four-hour sets, three to four nights a week, the sisters developed a performance style that’s not only captivating and fun but shows just how much entertaining is in their blood.

After releasing their original song “Somebody Does,” in 2021, the track topped the iTunes chart and Tigirlily Gold was signed to Monument Records. They released their self-titled debut EP in July 2021, working with multi-Grammy Award Winner Shane McAnally, and hit the road with artists Walker Hayes and Ashley McBryde.

Now, the powerhouse duo has embarked on a new musical chapter with their latest EP, Blonde – a deeply personal record that includes poignant tales of love and loss alongside powerful anthems and songs of female empowerment. The first release off the EP, “Shoot Tequila,” came out in January and has already found viral success with over 50 million views on the song across social media. Ready to bring girl group energy back to country music, Tigirlily Gold is poised for a breakout year.
