ABOUT KIMBERLY PERRY

As one-third of the Grammy® Award-winning superstar sibling trio The Band Perry, Kimberly Perry has racked up sales of over two and a half million albums, thirteen million singles, and over 2 billion combined streams. As a songwriter, her groundbreaking crossover #1 single “If I Die Young” (with its current 9x platinum status and over 200 million video views) helped Kimberly burst on to the world stage. As an entertainer, she’s performed on TV’s biggest shows, from late night’s most influential (The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Late Show With James Corden, The Late Show with David Letterman) to daytime’s most popular (Ellen, Good Morning America, The Today Show), as well as performing and presenting on multiple CMA, ACM, and CMT award shows and specials. After touring the globe and playing on some of its biggest stages, her first love is songwriting, and it remains the force that drives her today. Perry signed a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell and Songs & Daughters, she released “Bloom” her first EP as a solo artist in 2023 and is headlining the 2024 CMT Next Women of Country Presents: Kimberly Perry (of The Band Perry) Tour.

ABOUT DYLAN SCHNEIDER

A self-taught visionary, Dylan Schneider first started performing and writing at the age of 14, fearless and skilled far beyond his years. Forging his mark on the Country music community and fans alike with songs such as “Two Black X’s” (2016), “How Does It Sound” (2017), and “How to Country” (2019), Schneider rode a wave of momentum throughout his teens, gaining a devoted fan base and tenacious online following. Now, at only 24-years-old, he’s amassed a social-media following of 1.8M+ fans, banked over 350M on-demand streams, and has toured alongside superstars like Florida Georgia Line, Morgan Wallen, Kane Brown, Scotty McCreery, Nate Smith, and more. And all throughout, Schneider kept the tunes coming, working at an all-out sprint.

A natural trailblazer, Schneider’s evolved style demands attention. He’s always blurred the line between Country and Pop, and his new songs once again break new ground, landing just ahead of Country’s cutting edge. Mixing modern Pop sensibility with a down-home feel, his sound is unrestrained, as he integrates the punchy edge of Rock with arena-sized beats and modern pop hooks. Embracing his irresistible rock-n-roll edge and compelling pop-country swagger, Schneider has gracefully landed the tricky jump from teenaged talent to full-fledged artist, having co-written Dustin Lynch’s Top 5 hit song “Momma’s House” and scored two RIAA-certified Gold records. Now, he has something to say and the tools to say it with conviction – and this is just the beginning.

Schneider kicked off 2024 on Nate Smith’s “World On Fire” Tour and released his latest EP, Bad Decisions, on April 26th, right before making his Stagecoach Festival debut performance. He will be joining Kane Brown on his “In The Air” Tour this fall.

Finding “storylines that make country music listeners go wild is his superpower” and Schneider “not only lives up to his hitmaker status, but he exceeds it” (All Country News). Featuring his viral songs “Ain’t Missin’ You” and title track “Bad Decisions” that PopCulture demanded to “PLAY IT LOUD,” the project includes new songs “Carhartt,” “Ruin This Town” and “Buy That Girl A Beer” that are sure to catapult his already viral resume.

After posting a snippet of a sharp-witted chorus on TikTok, the sound went viral, racking up over 156M TikTok views, 181k user-generated TikTok videos, 55M on-demand streams and 1M YouTube views, climbing to #3 on TikTok’s Country playlist and securing placement on viral-song charts. Seeing the incredible response, Schneider immediately went back to the writing room to finish the spit-fire track – “Ain’t Missin’ You.” Boasting wily lyrics and an electric hook, the feisty song finds the “Artist to Watch” (Amazon Music, Pandora, Taste of Country) continuing to “expand the bounds of his artistry” (American Songwriter) and lean into MusicRow’s “Next Big Thing” prediction.

There’s a reason Billboard named him “Country music’s next rising star.” Continuing to strongly connect, having already amassed over 3.8M TikTok views, 26,000 filter creates, 5,000 user-generated TikTok videos and 7.3M on-demand streams, Schneider gave into fan-demand again with the sultry track “Bad Decisions.” Seduced by a magnetic connection with an ex, the seductive song follows a couple who just can’t help but give into temptation. Filling out the rest of the EP, he delivers his most-vulnerable song to date with the autobiographical “Daddy Drinks Whiskey.” While the stadium-ready, supercharged anthem “Ruin This Town” showcases his “rapid-fire singing style” (Billboard), the live-in-the-moment reminder of ballad “Buy That Girl A Beer” puts his eclectic vocals and lyrical growth on full display. Finally, the insanely catchy, witty and vibrant groove of “Carhartt” flows with an unforgettable, anthemic beat about a girl who got away that’s sure to be his next viral song of summer.

ABOUT MARYYN TAYLOR

MaRynn Taylor, a rising star in the country music industry, hails from Nashville. Her distinctive approach combines elements of conventional Country music with Americana and Alt Country influences to produce a timeless sound. Fans of all ages are guaranteed to connect with MaRynn’s music because of her deep voice and sentimental lyrics. MaRynn was surrounded by the sounds of country music from an early age because she grew up in the center of Music City. With her compelling performances and sympathetic lyrics, she immediately garnered a following after starting to write her own songs as a youngster. MaRynn is currently a highly sought-after singer on the Country scene, renowned for her potent vocals and exciting live performances.

ABOUT OUTLAW APOSTLES

Outlaw Apostles is a group of young hungry up and comers, all from in and around Muscle Shoals. Bay Simpson, Evan Lane and Christian White are all young yet seasoned veterans around the Muscle Shoals music scene. They formed in November 2018 with a mission to bring real songs played by real musicians singin’ real three- and four-part harmonies back to the forefront of modern music. They quickly came to the attention of legendary record producer Keith Stegall who assembled a group of writers to woodshed with the band to stockpile songs and help hone the sound. The group has built a strong following in the southeast and will be on the road all year promoting their forthcoming release.

ABOUT BIKINI BULL RIDING LADIES’ NIGHT

Starting this month on the first Thursday of every month, Bikini Bull Riding Ladies’ Night features free entry and $2 drinks for ladies. All bull riding participants receive a free bikini from Pendleton Whisky and the Pendleton Posse. Ladies can compete for $1,000 in cash prizes, and a chance to win a spot in a 2025 Stoney’s photo shoot. DJ Manda will teach line dance lessons for Half Past Tipsy and Cripple Creek, and DJ all night long.

ABOUT STEPHANIE QUAYLE

Stephanie Quayle is a Nashville recording artist who tours the world with her music and an entrepreneur with her own record label, Big Sky Music Group. Rolling Stone Country called her “an artist you need to know,” CMT named her as part of its “Next Women of Country” franchise, and she’s appeared on popular programs like The Kelly Clarkson Show and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. As an indie artist with two Billboard charted singles, “Selfish” and “Whatcha Drinkin ’Bout,” she has repeatedly performed at CMA Fest and the Grand Ole Opry. The Montana native has teamed up with recognizable brands like Wrangler, Harley-Davidson, Bass Pro Shops, Montana Silversmiths, as well as Lucchese Bootmaker in the creation of her exclusive boot line. Quayle’s latest album On the Edge chronicles her personal experience in a toxic relationship and the healing she’s gone through since—inspiring others and redefining her future. She also released her debut book, Why Do We Stay?, in April 2024. Why Do We Stay? is a continuation of the story she shared publicly for the first time on her album On the Edge, and with some additional insights from my friend W. Keith Campbell, PHD, they explore how to spot a toxic relationship, how to get out, and how to heal.

The eight tracks of On the Edge explore that fundamental human experience when in your darkest moments you are faced with a decision, when you’re forced to choose between descending into the darkness or seeking the light. On the Edge is a redemptive tale, and a profoundly personal one. It’s one in which Stephanie Quayle charts the stranger-than-fiction story in which she found herself — from the day the love of her young life shattered on an airport runway, and the harrowing aftermath of that tragedy — to the place of grace where she finds herself today.

The years that followed — The Lost Years — found her face down and wallowing in the dirt. “At 29, my whole world stopped,” she says. “It was a defining moment that made me question everything and wonder if I was ever going to sing again. She moved to Nashville, saw her songs hit the charts, garnered industry accolades, and performed at the Grand Ole Opry over ten times. Eventually she fell in love again, married North Carolina businessman David Couch in 2015, and embarked on the most productive and exciting period of her career. Stephanie founded her own record label and was turning out new material with several co-writers; she was traveling relentlessly and performing to an ever-growing fan base. In 2018 ‘Selfish’ cracked the Billboard chart. Then in 2019, “Whatcha Drinkin ‘Bout” was charging up the charts when along came Covid. In March 2020 Stephanie was on her way to perform as part of the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo Texas events when she had to cancel forty concerts and shelter in place at the North Carolina farm. Despite this setback, she quickly pivoted, finding new ways to connect to her fans while bringing music and farm animals into the lives of her followers. She started live-streaming, sharing eighty performances in eighty days, and recorded an album virtually with musicians in Nashville.

On the Edge explores the big themes in life and offers an unflinching portrait of grief, loss, betrayal, and redemption. And it does so with the singer’s signature honesty, humor, strength, and style. This music has helped her move forward, and she hopes it will do the same for others.

ABOUT STEPHEN WESLEY & THE MILLENIUM ALL-STARS

Featuring pop and alt-rock hits from the 90s and 00s, Stephen Wesley will be joined by Jerrod Bettis (formerly of OneRepublic); Scott Underwood (formerly of Train); Matt Fuller (formerly of Puddle of Mudd), and Kevin Cadogan (formerly of Third Eye Blind).

Stephen Wesley is a two-time Billboard charting artist. Stephen continues to push the boundaries of music and create his own sound. The genre-bending country singer/songwriter has done collaborations with several of music’s most accomplished and well-known bands and solo acts, from Slash of Guns N Roses fame to Smash Mouth, Bubba Sparxxx, and “Rock N Roll ft. T-Pain.”

ABOUT DREW BALDRIDGE

Drew Baldridge has achieved enormous success across all aspects of his career, and he is doing so on his own terms. With over 350M total catalog streams, Baldridge has carved his own independent path and continues to reach milestone after milestone.

Drew’s viral hit “She’s Somebody’s Daughter,” has amassed over 400M TikTok impressions and has been streamed over 120M times with no editorial playlists. Since going to country radio, the track has hit the top 10 on Billboard Country Music Chart and is climbing to the top 5 on the charts with a fully independent team.

Signed to Sony Music Publishing, he is also an accomplished songwriter with 500+ songs under his belt including major label cuts for other artists like Bailey Zimmerman, LOCASH, Chase Matthew, and more. When he is not creating music, Baldridge is on the road performing headlining dates and touring with artist friends. He’s shared the stage with Eric Church, Jason Aldean, and Luke Bryan to name a few and has been on full tours with Granger Smith and LOCASH.

ABOUT REDFERRIN

A true Tennessee original with a sharp sonic bite. The perfect ingredient to get the party started or slow it down and create life-long memories. He packs a punch you can’t ignore, and although his mix of country heart and hip-hop swagger might be an acquired taste, he’s been bringing fans a full-bodied buzz for years now – most recently with his viral hit “Jack & Diet Coke”. But with his long-awaited Old No. 7 debut, those fans can now savor their buzz longer than ever.

The buzz around Warner Music Nashville country artist Redferrin is impossible to ignore as one of Nashville’s most unorthodox and innovative new singer/songwriters. His recent releases are full of adrenaline-pumping energy and rebellious swagger, providing just a sample of the kaleidoscopic musical textures he can create. With lyrics that serve as a manifesto for his take-it-or-leave-it style, Redferrin wants the new music to become a sonic mirror held up to today’s rural culture.

Born Blake Redferrin, the White House, Tennessee native spent his first 24 years on the pegs of a dirt bike, now harnessing that thrill-seeking spirit and relentless drive for a new kind of sound. He already boasts several successful cuts, including Florida Georgia Line’s hip-hop inspired “Countryside,” Nelly’s recent smash “Lil Bit,” and Dean Brody and The Reklaws’ “I Can’t Help Myself,” which showcased a knack for party starting, hitting No. 1 in Canada, and setting a record for the most one-week radio spins in the nation’s history. Redferrin is set to release more new music this year as he continues chasing high-speed dreams with the throttle pinned and no kill switch.

ABOUT OKTOBERFEST

Stoney’s brings a taste of Bavaria to the dance floor with a costume contest, beer specials, stein holding competitions, a beer pong tournament, and much more!

ABOUT TROY CARTWRIGHT

Troy Cartwright’s passion for music was ignited during a summer program at New York University, which exposed him to a world beyond his hometown of Dallas. After returning to Dallas, Cartwright quickly made a name for himself with the release of his EP, Bull Run. This debut earned him recognition at the 2013 B.W. Stevenson Songwriting Competition. In 2014, he received the Rising Star Texas Music Award. A notable performance with John Fullbright led him to collaborate with producer Wes Sharon in Oklahoma, resulting in his self-titled full-length debut album in 2015.

Cartwright’s music began to gain traction through radio play and extensive touring. This exposure caught the attention of Texas songwriter Rob Baird, who co-produced Cartwright’s EP Don’t Fade with Brian Douglas Phillips. Released on October 7, 2016, Don’t Fade landed Cartwright on several Billboard charts, including No. 60 on the US Country Chart and No. 8 on the Heatseekers South Central Chart. This success helped him secure a deal with William Morris Endeavor (WME).

In early 2017, Rolling Stone highlighted Cartwright as one of the “10 New Country Artists You Need to Know.” He then moved to Nashville to immerse himself in the songwriter community, signing a worldwide publishing deal with Warner/Chappell Music and joining Red Light Management. By mid-2018, Warner Music Nashville had signed Cartwright as a recording artist and songwriter. He soon began collaborating with Grammy Award-winning producer David Garcia. In the summer of 2019, Cartwright released his first singles with Warner Music Nashville, including Love Like We Used To and Hung Up On You. SiriusXM’s The Highway featured Love Like We Used To as its “YouTube Country Spotlight” and added it to the “On The Horizon” playlist. Later that year, Cartwright released My First Beer and Cake For Breakfast, the latter of which was highlighted by Billboard as one of the best new country songs of the week.

Troy Cartwright continues to release new music and perform live across the country. He has shared the stage with renowned acts such as the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Turnpike Troubadours, Randy Rogers Band, and Cody Jinks, among others.

T-Pain.”

ABOUT BRITNEE KELLOGG

Britnee’s love of country music started at just six years old, when she attended a Johnny Cash & June Carter-Cash concert. Smitten from the first note, Britnee knew that she had found her chosen career. Every day since then has brought her one step closer to her dream.

Today, you’ll find Britnee sharing the stage with the likes of Blake Shelton, Lee Brice, Kane Brown and Jon Pardi. You may have also seen her on Season 11 and Season 12 of American Idol. She has recently been focusing on building her online presence to reach a seemingly untouched market, and has had several songs go viral, with two debuting in the country and all genre charts after release. “Back of My Mind,” has over 19 million TikTok impressions, and debuted at number 4 on the iTunes charts. “Hey Mama” currently has over 18 million TikTok impressions and debuted at #3 on the iTunes Charts. “Back of my mind” has over 10 million combined streams, and “Hey Mama” has brought in 9 million.

This year, Britnee will be releasing a 12-song full length album that will showcase her personal story through her songs and her rich vocals. Her goal is to create a sound that people can relate to and to help them know they’re not alone in what they’re going through. She brings a party to the stage and inspires others to pursue their dreams. She is a driven, passionate artist with a deep love for her craft.

ABOUT ALEXIS WILKINS

Alexis Wilkins speaks the truth and owns who she is with her unapologetic storytelling, cowboy-like leaning, and definitive pull from the past. She honors country tradition while adding relevance and current commentary. Arkansas-bred and Nashville-based singer/songwriter and commanding artist; Wilkins struck platinum with her debut single release garnering over 1,000,000 streams across key platforms. With this came accolades and endorsements from CMT, American Songwriter, Today in Nashville, and more.

She is no stranger to the big stage, having shared it with such superstars as Chris Young, Joe Nichols, Sara Evans, Parmalee to name a few.

Her style beckons the past with a backbeat of 50s through the 70s sassy and driving vocals and melody driven tracks that will surely have the listener wanting to hit a saw-dusted dance floor or bring back the barn dance.

“Country music is here to stay” she says of the changing tides, the ebbs and flows of Nashville’s popularity shuffle, and disregard for temporary trend patterns. “I want people to hear truthful songs. These are real moments in my life and vignettes in time, and country music has always been the truth.”

She’s got quite a collection of vignettes to draw from too. Though music isn’t the family trade, her great-grandfather passed down a 1952 J45 Gibson and she hasn’t put it down since. Alexis learned the meaning of putting pen to paper when she was 6 years old. After reading an article about the devastation of the coal fires in Pennsylvania and learning that people do something they love to raise funds and awareness for something they believe in, she decided that she’d write her own song to help with the cause. Three years later, she made her first trip to Nashville and recorded that very same song, later to be used for The Nature Conservancy’s “Plant a Billion Project” to plant trees in the Atlantic Rainforest. This process solidified her decision to become an artist and make her many ideas a reality in song.

Fast forward, her advocacy of Veterans and Veteran causes is most important to her, working with organizations such as Warrior Rounds, Operation Standdown, Soldier’s Child, singing in the hospital with Musicians On Call and was selected for the honor of singing at memorial services for the VA. She pioneered the first live virtual performance program for Veteran patients and produced and delivered a nationwide 4th of July presentation to the VA hospitals via closed-circuit TV. She says of her work with Warrior Rounds that her retreat days, writing with Veterans, “are her favorite writing sessions.”

Alexis spent her early years living in Switzerland and England before she skipped over the pond with her family laying down roots in Arkansas.  Recognizing her goals of making a name in Nashville, her family moved to Nashville where she quickly engaged in the music scene writing with numerous hit-songwriters, playing as many gigs as she could and enrolled at one of the nation’s top music business schools – Belmont University, but as a business and political science major where she graduated with honors.  Maybe prolific, maybe just skill, but either way, she walked the prestigious Williams-Murray Writing Award, Economic Critical Thinking Award, and having been selected to be on the Ethics Debate Team.

Beyond her creative skills in music, she continues to grow her creative interests. In 2021 she launched American Westward, a lifestyle brand that focuses on the western lifestyle, outdoor living and more.

When Alexis isn’t in the studio or on the road, she’s hanging out with her family and dog, reading or collecting old books, writing articles, or working on her 1989 F-150 Lariat.  Really though, she is a force to be reckoned with under the hood or on the stage, get ready to hear some new music, that is truly, for the first time, Alexis through and through.

ABOUT BOOMTOWN SAINTS

BoomTown Saints. It’s a name that brings to mind both the passionate intensity of a Southern Sunday church service and the explosive energy of a thriving hometown no one wants to ever leave. It’s the perfect moniker for Chris Ramos and Ben Chism, a musically adventurous duo who combine a myriad of influences into their own unique creative footprint in country music.

Chism’s warm Mississippi drawl provides the Southern charm in the duo’s lead vocals while Chris Ramos’ eclectic musical background fuels their progressive, ear-grabbing sound. It all comes together on BoomTown Saints debut EP, released June 30 on 8 Track Entertainment. The initial single, “All Trucks Go to Heaven,” earned the “DisCovery Disc of the Day” from Music Row legend Bob Oermann, who praised the record as “brilliantly accomplished” while the accompanying video won fans on Taste of Country and CMT.com. The duo gained notice as one of a handful of artists featured in Billboard’s “What’s New in the New Year” and wowed fans from all over the world when they made their CMA Music Fest debut in June.

​The current single, “Blacktop Don’t,” continues to earn BoomTown Saints enthusiastic supporters. With one listen, the infectious groove hooks the listener, and the lyrics reels them in.

​The song captures the energy that defines the BoomTown Saints’ sound, and it was discovering that spark together live that transformed Ramos and Chism from two talented individual musicians into country music’s hottest new duo. Chism hails from Southaven, MS and admits he wasn’t aspiring to a music career during his childhood. “My brother is six years older than I am and he picked up a guitar when he was 11 and I was five years old. It sounded terrible at first and I was like, ‘Dude, can you please stop? I’m trying to watch Rugrats,’” Chism recalls with a laugh.

​His brother eventually developed into a great guitar player and Chism began to see the appeal in a music career after coming in second in a talent competition with his rendition of Kenny Chesney’s “How Forever Feels.” He started developing a local following, and despite going to college and majoring in biology, he decided to take the plunge and move to Nashville to pursue music.

​Everyone has heard the phrase “Nashville is a ten-year town,” meaning it usually takes a decade to get any traction in the business. Well after a decade, Chism was starting to feel battered and about to surrender. He met Ramos at the gym, struck up a friendship and recruited him to play bass at an upcoming show. “Before the night was over, we were booked to come back,” Chism recalls.  “Chris added a whole different element to what we were doing.  He grabbed an acoustic guitar and went out there and he did something that I’d never seen done before with an acoustic guitar. He got people hyped up. The crowd was riled up! I knew there and then that this was different. This was going to be something.”

​Ramos colorful stage personality developed during his Florida childhood, just south of Tampa. The area was a musical smorgasbord and Ramos lapped it all up. “I learned a ton of different instruments,” he says of his early days before moving to Nashville. “When you hear BoomTown Saints, you can hear the broad influence. You can hear where there’s a R&B flavor on that or see where there’s a classic rock influence on that song. The key thing for us is—and we talk about this all the time—is when you’re in a duo, it’s about humility. It’s about letting the other person shine when it’s time for them to shine. In doing that, we’ve allowed each other to really influence our sound and when the other person puts their flavor on it, it makes something unique.”

​Both accomplished songwriters, Chism and Ramos really enjoy collaborating with each other and bringing other Music Row craftsmen into the mix. A prime example is “How to Lose a Lady,” a cautionary tale about what NOT to do in a relationship. “We were writing with Keith and Adrienne Follesé. Me and Chris look at them as mom and dad,” Chism says of their relationship with the veteran writers responsible for Tim McGraw’s “Something Like That,” among other hits.  “Adrienne came up with the title, ‘How To Lose A Lady.’”

​“Dive Bar Heart” was penned by Ashley Ray, Ryan Beaver and Benji Davis. “‘Dive Bar Heart’ isn’t a fast song or a slow song. It’s not a ballad or feet stomper. It’s kind of right there,” Ramos says of the thoughtful tune occupying its own unique space on the EP. “When you listen to it all the way through, it becomes one of your favorite songs because of the story it tells. It’s very descriptive and it paints a picture. You know exactly where this person is in the song.”

​Every song on the EP was produced by veteran songwriter/producer/artist Noah Gordon and veteran producer, Gary Kraen. Fans have already embraced “All Trucks Go to Heaven” and the new EP includes both the originally released version as well as a stripped-down acoustic rendition.

​That upbeat attitude infuses the music of BoomTown Saints with a positive spirit that is resonating with fans. “We were playing a show last month and when we started playing ‘All Trucks Go to Heaven,’ everybody picked up their cellphones, and started waving them back and forth. That was such a great moment. We don’t take those moments for granted. We are having the time of our lives.”

ABOUT MARK MACKAY

From the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville to Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and countless destinations in between: Singer-songwriter Mark Mackay delivers electrifying performances to unite listeners with captivating anthems and blazing musicality.

Touring relentlessly across the country, he has reached a loyal multi-genre audience for his guitar-driven American Music. In addition to headlining slots at concerts, fairs, festivals, and tours, Mark has opened for hard rockers REO Speedwagon, Richie Sambora, Ted Nugent, and Night Ranger; plus platinum country hitmakers Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Old Dominion, Gary Allan, and Eli Young Band.

Mark Mackay fans will have plenty of new music to savor. After an ambitious series of indie full-lengths and EP’s, the Nashville-based artist has recently inked a deal with Bungalo Records/Universal Music Group. The lead single, “Meant for This” finds Mark expressing a heart-filled testament enveloped in the aural textures of harmonica, slide guitar, and a beguiling chorus.

For his newest collection of tracks, he selected an accomplished team of first call players to join him at Universal Music’s East Iris Studios. “We threw out the rule book,” Mark testifies. “To craft a sound that was both rock and roadhouse; historic and contemporary.” Mark’s expansive circle of co-conspirators includes such luminaries as Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame honoree Jeffrey Steele, Ted Russell Kamp from the Shooter Jennings band, and multiple ACM Guitarist of the Year nominee Adam Shoenfeld, who’s behind the board production expertise, plus his stellar guitar work, are notable contributions to the newest recordings.

As a California native, Mark grew up on the indelible sounds of Laurel Canyon and Bakersfield. Trained as a classical pianist, he studied blues and rock guitar at Musicians Institute in Hollywood. He says this newest stage of his recording journey brings him full cycle as a singer-songwriter. “I came to Hollywood writing narrative storyteller songs; then a six-year journey to try to write and record down the middle. Now, with more maturity and skills, I come back with the genuine authenticity of what I set out to do.”

In the summer of 2023, the artist staged an ambitious 36-show nationwide “Summer Slowdown Tour.” Forthcoming is his second annual Christmas tour, with sit-down theaters and a family-friendly atmosphere, in marked contrast to the boisterous bars where he sharpened his craft and rocked the house. As a frequent television guest in select markets, he reveals a natural, camera-friendly charisma.

He marvels at the folks he meets at far-flung fairs. “The crowds are huge, and everyone is always in a great mood,” he says. “Especially in random places. I traveled to the middle of nowhere, 30 minutes past Logan, Utah, and I think the whole state of Utah was there.”

Mark follows the rhythms of the road on a journey to the lights, illuminating the next town on the highway, and the white-hot brilliance of the stage. And while his lyrics on his new single are in reference to romance, hundreds of thousands of fans that have seen him perform might testify that the title is also an apt description of his decisive artistic destiny. Mark Mackay is undeniably “Meant for This.”

ABOUT LANIE GARDNER

Lanie Gardner is a singer-songwriter, TikToker, YouTuber, and entrepreneur from the United States. She rose to fame when her cover of Fleetwood Mac’s song “Dreams” went viral on YouTube. She has since established a thriving musical career, touring the country supporting larger artists.

ABOUT PRESLEY TENNANT

Radiant and fearless, Presley Tennant is the result of unequivocal talent and California ease. Dubbed a “vocal powerhouse” by Taste of Country, People Magazine states Presley is “quickly proving that she is a wild card in the country music industry.”

Rooted in the classics, the Horsetown, USA (aka Norco, CA) native immersed herself in Country Music following her national appearance on The Voice at just 16 years old. Determined to make her own way in the industry, Tennant teamed up with some of the industry’s top creatives to produce her own version of California-Country, melding together western lifestyle, her unparalleled powerhouse vocals, traditional roots, and a modern energy.

Filled with uncompromising integrity, the ‘it’ factor and a dream, it’s no surprise Presley has shared the stage with musical heroes Tim McGraw, Kelly Clarkson, Carly Pearce, Blake Shelton and more. Not only is she immensely talented, but she also has a heart of gold, donating her time to animal organizations through her Riffs & Rescues virtual charity tour, where she performs live and raises awareness and funds for various animal initiatives.

ABOUT A THOUSAND HORSES

The high-powered new single from A Thousand Horses, “Highway Sound” marks the start of the most dynamic era yet in the Nashville-based band’s career. Produced by GRAMMY Award-winner Jon Randall, the wildly life-affirming anthem delves deeper into the freewheeling originality they’ve embraced since their Dave Cobb-produced debut SOUTHERNALITY—featuring the PLATINUM-certified smash “Smoke”—and artfully merges elements of Southern Rock, Classic Country, and hard-driving Americana. Along with adorning the track with plenty of ear-catching details (achieved in part through such left-of-center instrumentation as electric sitar and talk box), A Thousand Horses fully capture what frontman Michael Hobby refers to as “the freedom of cutting ties with the negativity of the past and putting your energy into celebrating a new beginning.”

Written after a period of intense change in their personal lives, “Highway Sound” first took shape over the course of a weekend trip to a Texas farmhouse in summer 2021, during which Hobby, guitarist Bill Satcher, bassist Graham DeLoach, and former guitarist Zach Brown came up with the song during an impromptu session on the porch. A major leap forward for A Thousand Horses, “Highway Sound” spotlights the powerful musicianship and soulful urgency first revealed on SOUTHERNALITY—a 2015 LP that reached #3 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, with “Smoke” earning recognition as the first debut single for a group to reach #1 on the Country Airplay charts that decade. Soon after launching their own label, Highway Sound Records, A Thousand Horses returned with their 2022 sophomore album BROKEN HEARTLAND, featuring standouts like “When I Hear Your Name,” “Another Mile,” and “Never Liked the Rain.” Known for their incendiary live show, A Thousand Horses have also toured the country with iconic acts like Lynyrd Skynyrd and more. In 2024, A Thousand Horses are embarking on their 16-show Spring headline tour and will continue to release new music with their full-length album The Outside slated for later this year.

ABOUT KALEB AUSTIN

Kaleb Austin grew up in Murray, UT where he cultivated a love for singing and writing country music from a very early age. He began writing his own songs at age 14 and quickly realized he wanted to pursue a career in the music business. In the coming years he would have the chance to share the stage with the likes of JoDee Messina, Billy Currington, Dan+Shay, Brantley Gilbert and Joe Nichols among others. After chasing his dreams for over a decade he finally got his big break through social media. His wife Cheyenne began posting short videos of Kaleb singing to his baby daughter which swiftly gained him a following of almost 2 million people. His following dubbed the “KAmpfire” helped him get to Nashville and record his first #1 iTunes single, “Sound of the South” with long time hitmaker Dan Frizsell. This marked a turning point in Kaleb’s life giving his music new wings and earning him the title of “TikTok Country Artist of the Year.” He has since released a full album with several chart-topping hits including “Turn the Night On” and “Sun Goes Down.” He currently resides in Salt Lake City where he is preparing for his upcoming tour and is actively writing for his second studio album.

ABOUT KASSI ASHTON

With a little bit of rock, a hell of a lot of soul, and a throwback R&B groove, Kassi Ashton has crash landed on country radio. “Dates In Pickup Trucks,” her irresistible debut radio single dropped in February, on the eve of her own 28th birthday. “It feels powerful,” she says of the moment’s alignment. Speaking about the song’s playfulness, she adds, “I want it to show that there are many sides to me.”

The release marks the critical next step for the buzzy young singer. Named to Ones to Watch lists by publications like Huffington Post and The Tennessean as well as juggernaut radio personality Bobby Bones, Ashton spent 2019 as one of the openers on Maren Morris’s GIRL World Tour. In 2018, she was featured on Keith Urban’s CMA Album of the Year-nominated LP, Graffiti U.

The simmering new song, it turns out, has a surprising origin story: an uncharacteristically giddy phone call between Ashton and her grandmother. One of nine children and known for her take-no-prisoners attitude, the singer was shocked when, one day, her elder fell into a fit of giggles on the other end of the line. “She’s like, ‘Me and your grandpa went on a date last night,’” Ashton recalls. “‘I made dinner, we packed it up in the truck, and we drove around all the roads we hadn’t seen in a long time.’”

Ashton got to thinking about the nights she stepped out under the stars in her own pickup, back in her one-stoplight hometown of California, Missouri. (“You can gravel road for hours, where I come from” she quips.) Ashton brought the idea into a co-writing session with Luke Laird, who, while having served as the pen behind massive hits by Thomas Rhett, Eric Church, and Carrie Underwood, is also, as Ashton explains affectionately, the “other half of my creative brain,” and David Garcia. Initially, her collaborators both balked at what they considered a kitschy title. “They’re like, ‘This is not the girl I know!’” Ashton says, laughing.

ABOUT DILLON CARMICHAEL

Hailed by Rolling Stone as “country music’s most convincing young star since Stapleton,” Dillon Carmichael isn’t just an artist; he’s a force of nature. Born and raised in Burgin, Kentucky, the 6’4” troubadour first rose to fame in 2018 on the strength of his critically acclaimed Riser House debut, the Dave Cobb-produced Hell On An Angel, which prompted NPR to praise his “deep holler” and the New York Times to declare that his voice moves “with the heft and certainty of a tractor-trailer.” Dates with everyone from Lynyrd Skynyrd and Trace Adkins to Dwight Yoakam and Justin Moore followed, as did festival appearances from Faster Horses to Tortuga and Artist To Watch nods from the likes of Billboard, Rolling Stone, Pandora, and more. Carmichael followed it up in 2021 with Son Of A, another neo-traditional gem that’s racked up more than 13 million streams across platforms (Carmichael’s catalog boasts more than 140 million streams collectively) and yielded similarly glowing reviews for its feel-good mix of wry humor and raw heart. After debuting as the #1 most-added single at country radio, the album’s title track is already well on its way to a million plays on YouTube as it continues to climb the singles charts. Carmichael remains busy as ever on the road in 2022, headlining his ‘Son Of A’ Tour and opening for the likes of Brooks & Dunn, Cody Johnson, Brothers Osborne, and more.

ABOUT WYNN WILLIAMS

Neotraditional country artist Wynn Williams has all the credentials any country artist would be proud to possess. The former rodeo cowboy combines the honky-tonk attitude of Brooks & Dunn and the crooning style of Strait, with the excitement of Garth. Upon graduation from Texas A&M University in 2016, the young man from Weatherford, TX rode straight into a career as a full-time artist in small bars and restaurants across Texas, at the time promoting his six song “Words Fly” EP while developing himself creatively and artistically, at the same time soaking up everything he needed to know to be successful in a quickly changing, tough music business. His sophomore project, a self-titled fourteen track album released in 2020, busted the doors open for Wynn as he toured the region, crossing state-lines and time zones playing his breakout song “Tornado” for fans begging for the traditional sound.

All while touring from show-to-show, Wynn spent the weeks in-between writing new songs and preparing for the next studio session. Garnering traction over the next two years with the release of several singles, he prepared for the release of the Your Love EP including single ‘All Over Me” earning him a tip of the hat from Billboard in 2023, as well as a music video debut on CMT for lead single from the project, “Like the Wind.” Reminiscent of late 90s, early 00s country, Wynn’s style leans into the fans that have been yearning for the sound of steel and fiddle to play the music again. While amassing over 12M global streams, Wynn has gone on to headline across the U.S. and Europe where he continues to grow and gear up for more exciting projects to come in 2024. Country music is back, and Wynn Williams is an artist riding hard and fast towards the leading edge to earn his place in arenas around the world.

ABOUT KELSEY HART

Born and raised in western Kentucky, Kelsey was never far away from the influence of the Nashville country music community. At 19, he landed his first gig as the lead singer of a local country band where he cut his teeth on the icons of the genre and began cultivating his own unique sound and passion for the craft of country songwriting. Following his move to music city, Kelsey found his first co-writing success in November 2017 with “As Long As You’re In It” recorded by Jake Owen for his Greatest Hits collection. In 2021 He landed a cut on Trace Adkins Album “Live It Lonely” as one of the newest members of the Curb | Word songwriting family, Kelsey has quickly established himself as a sought-after co-writer, vocalist, and artist on the rise.

ABOUT MIKE RYAN

Singer-songwriter Mike Ryan has achieved impressive accolades in just under 10 years, building a career independently that’s not only earned the devotion of fans, but the respect of other artists and notables in the music industry. Mike Ryan is just that caliber of talent. His gift as a songwriter has led to collaborations with such major label acts as Brad Paisley and Brandy Clark, and he has opened for some of the biggest names in the business, including Miranda Lambert, Hardy and Morgan Wallen, in addition to selling out his own headlining gigs. At times, even selling more tickets than major label acts with top ten singles. It’s a coup he’s managed to pull off thanks to hard work and undeniable talent. Ryan co-wrote Paisley’s Top 20 “Last Time For Everything,” and his songs have garnered over 265 million streams with 10 of them earning over ten million streams, 19 of them earning more than four million streams and 27 of them earning more than one million streams.

ABOUT DREW GREEN

With his genre-bending country, pop, and R&B style, Nashville singer Drew Green first garnered attention as a songwriter before catching the spotlight with his 2020 tracks “Little More Be Alright’ and “Right Where I Be.” Both cuts appeared on his debut EP, Dirt Boy, Vol. 1. His 2021 follow-up, Dirt Boy, Vol. 2, included the streaming hit “Hooch.” The soulful standalone single “Good Ol’ Man” arrived in early 2022.

Born in McMinnville, Tennessee, Green grew up on a tree farm where his family introduced him to country artists like Sammy Kershaw and Alan Jackson. During his teens he began expanding his ears as friends exposed him to a mix of hip-hop, pop, and R&B performers, including Usher, Craig David, Matchbox Twenty, and Dr. Dre. He played in bands in high school and continued to hone his songwriting skills at college. Following his graduation, Green based himself in Nashville, singing in the house band at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and working a day job at a bank, all the while pursuing a songwriting career.

He eventually gained a foothold in the industry, co-penning songs like Florida Georgia Line’s “Colorado” with Hardy and Hunter Phelps. In November 2018, he signed a publishing contract with Brett James’ Cornman Music. More opportunities followed and in June 2020, Green signed a recording contract with Villa 40/Sony Music Nashville, debuting that same month with the song “Little More Be Alright.”

A second song, “Right Where I Be,” followed a month later, with both tracks appearing on the EP Dirt Boy, Vol. 1. 2021 saw the release of the twangy single “Hooch,” ahead of the arrival of Dirt Boy, Vol. 2. Green started out strong in early 2022 with the country-pop and R&B-leaning viral hit “Good Ol’ Man.” ~ Matt Collar

In 2023, Drew has spent the year writing, recording, and releasing songs “Prayer List,” “Yep,” and “Best Ex I Ever Had” whilst playing shows across the U.S.  He’s gearing up to release his next single “Lotta Bit Of You,” after the song hit virality on TikTok.

ABOUT RVSHVD

RVSHVD (pronounced RA-SHAD) is a twenty-six-year-old country singer-songwriter hailing from the small town of Willacoochee, Georgia (population 1,200). As a teenager he was into hip hop and making beats, but his world turned upside down when he heard “Sweet Thing” by Keith Urban. Soon he discovered the music of Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, George Strait, Alan Jackson, and Brooks & Dunn; all of whom he credits with influencing his love of country music. He immediately found writing songs in the country vein to be more personal and rewarding, saying, “I can be myself in country music, talking about the real things I do and feel without trying to be a persona you need to be successful in hip-hop or other genres.”

With the help of his signature vocal tone and a bare bones home studio, RVSHVD hit the jackpot on his country version of Roddy Ricch’s “Ballin.” The song went viral on Spotify, TikTok, Apple and YouTube amassing over 25M streams and lifting his catalog of songs to over 125M streams. A preview of his recent single, “Shoebox Money,” struck a national conversation racking up 15M plays, 1M likes, and 450K+ shares on Instagram Reels alone, a testament to his unique position in the country music lexicon.

Gifted and prolific, RVSHVD’s songs cover a wide variety of topics, from his love of the gentle, inclusive urban life in “Small Town Talk,” to battling anxiety in “Deal With the Devil (ft. Danny Worsnop).” Along the way, RVSHVD has earned praise from Billboard who named him Country Rookie of the Month, applauding that he “…has carefully curated his own genre-bending sound.” CMT has dubbed him as one of their “Artist To Watch 2024.”

Live, RVSHVD has played Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest, debuted at the Grand Ole Opry and done dates with Dwight Yoakam. He’s set to play Stagecoach Festival, Golden Sky Festival, and CMA Fest again this year. RVSHVD will be releasing an EP The Intro and his debut full length album later this year.

RVSHVD is signed to The Penthouse South / Sumerian Records label, EMPIRE for publishing and CAA for touring.

ABOUT JASON CROSS

Jason Cross is a big personality with an “against the grain” mentality. In 2020, Cross made the move from Jackson, Michigan to Nashville, Tennessee and quickly developed a name for himself in Music City. Jason found his love for music at a young age. Growing up on Guns N’ Roses, Alice In Chains, Metallica, The Eagles, and numerous other rock bands, it’s safe to say he’s got some rock n’ roll roots. Also consuming a good bit of country in his youth would make for the perfect blend of the two. Cross would describe his sound to be somewhere in the ballpark with Jason Aldean, Randy Houser, and Luke Combs, with influence from Chris Stapleton and Whiskey Myers to Mötley Crüe and other bands from the metal genre. In March 2021, Cross released his debut single “It Ain’t Me” that became a fan favorite and has been writing and releasing new music since. Jason Cross knows how to be vulnerable with his music but also knows when it’s time for a high energy good time.

ABOUT LOGAN MIZE

Ten years ago, when Logan Mize was busy being a Music Row staff songwriter, he’d occasionally feel homesick for Kansas, where he grew up. So, he invented a way to get back there without leaving Nashville.

“My friend Blake Chaffin and I came up with this imaginary town called Prairieville,” Mize says. “Blake is from Kansas, like me, and we have this certain way of speaking, with similar quirks in the way that we say things. So over the years, we wrote about fifty songs together about this town.”

They based the characters on people they’d grown up around and used stories they’d heard as inspirations for their sharply observed portraits of heartland life. “Whenever we’d get together, we’d be like, ‘What’s happening in Prairieville this week?’,” Mize says with a smile. “It was almost like our Lake Wobegon. It inspired us. Gradually, it morphed from writing about a town into a certain style of writing that we found to be completely our own, to where we could really tell that our songs had a certain stamp on them. We took the best of those songs and that’s this project.”

Welcome to Prairieville, Mize’s fifth album, may be based on a fictional place, but it’s also his most deeply personal work to date. And while the project was first conceived in Nashville, he’s now closer to a real-life version of Prairieville, as he and his family recently moved back to Kansas, to his wife’s family farm in Andale.

ABOUT CHASE WRIGHT

Chase Wright is doing more than make his childhood dreams come true: he’s introducing himself as a bold new Nashville artist with a freewheeling approach to genre, firm footing in relatable storytelling and soft spot for big choruses. Respect for country music’s way around a story without feeling beholden to it defines the Indiana native’s energetic songs, which rely on electric loops and pop-rock chords alongside more traditional sounds made from steel strings and wood. It’s a confident blend that belies the fact that Wright first picked up a guitar as a freshman track star at DePauw University. After graduating with a degree in economics, Wright packed his bags for Nashville, where he has since earned a publishing deal with Toby & Molly Music and signed with Morris Higham for management. 2022 was a breakout year for the rising star who was recognized by Spotify as a Hot Country Artist to Watch and named among SiriusXM’s Highway Finds class. Most recently, Wright was recognized among Pandora’s Artists to Watch 2023: Country list. Following the 2021 release of his debut album Intertwined, Wright continues to roll out new music with his latest hit “Hurt No More” available to stream everywhere now. In total, fans have streamed his music to the tune of 170 million times.

ABOUT KYLIE MORGAN

Kylie Morgan has quickly proven herself to be a relatable storyteller and an engaging live performer. The Oklahoma native is known for baring her soul in her confessional lyrics and leaving her heart on the stage, whether she’s headlining her own tour or supporting acts like Old Dominion. In doing so, she makes her listeners feel less alone.

While Kylie began writing songs at a young age, it wasn’t until her grandfather bought her a pink acoustic guitar for Christmas that it all came together. “I got my first guitar and it just clicked: Here’s where a verse goes, here’s where the chorus goes,” she says of her early songs around age 12. “It actually started to make sense for me, and you couldn’t get me out of my room writing songs.”

She has since spent the past 14 years honing her craft in the writing room and on the stage. Kylie vividly recalls first sharing a microphone with her grandfather at a young age while singing Elvis Presley’s “That’s All Right.” At 14, she set out on the open road and began touring full-time and hasn’t slowed down since. In August 2022 she made her Grand Ole Opry debut and less than a year later wrapped her first-ever headlining tour. Kylie also performed a career-defining set at Nissan Stadium at CMA Fest 2022 and joined Old Dominion for her first arena trek as part of the band’s No Bad Vibes Tour.

ABOUT LANE SMITH

“It kind of came to the ultimatum: either fight bulls or play music.” Country singer Lane Smith is no stranger to hard living and hard work—raised just north of San Antonio in Spring Branch, Texas, he grew up rodeoing, specifically as a bullfighter. He chose that piece of the equation because it was the part he could control, and it was a bit less scary than riding bulls. As an outsider, admittedly, it’s a little hard to grasp the nuance.

The overlap between country music and rodeo culture is strong, and well documented. Chris LeDoux and Garth Brooks told us all about it—the sport isn’t for the faint of heart. It stretches away from home, from loved ones, with long, dirty hours and no guarantee of a payoff.

In fact, it’s more likely to imagine a scenario of walking away beat up, busted, and possibly even further away from a goal than where you might’ve started. It’s not that different than playing shows on the road or that far removed from the idea of embarking on an independent career in country music that you plan to build from the ground up.

But that’s exactly what Smith has done. He released his first EP in 2018 and another in 2021, with singles earning more than a million plays on all platforms. His catchy blend of country music “will chill you to the bones while you’re tappin’ your feet,” as his song “Big Show” exclaims.

And it seems to be catching on. He’s already crossed off a few of his bucket-list venues, including the legendary Gruene Hall, along with supporting slots with artists like Kyle Park, Matt Stell, Colt Ford, and Chase Matthews, to name just a few. “I loved rodeoing from the day I started to the day I decided music was where I wanted to be,” he says. “But I had two dreams growing up; one was rodeo, and one was music, and I’m glad that’s where I’ve landed now.”

ABOUT TYLER BRADEN

Tyler Braden has the gritty powerhouse vocals, the expressive pen and the ability to deliver a lyric with complete conviction worthy of a headliner. His new Warner Music Nashville EP, Neon Grave, combines deep-rooted country tradition with the rollicking, high-energy instincts of a born rock ‘n’ roller. The project’s flagship single, “Try Losing One,” hit No. 1 on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Countdown. Billboard asserted that the fiery, yearning ballad features “one of the most moving vocal deliveries in country music right now,” while MusicRow declared that it “burns with ferocious power and passion.” Braden began crafting his sound as a teenager in Slapout, AL, where he demonstrated his mettle playing four-hour cover sets. He continued to perform between shifts as a firefighter in both Montgomery and Nashville. His first date at the homegrown Whiskey Jam concert series in January 2017 paved his path to today. With 200 MILLION streams to his name, Braden is now taking stages world-round. His growing list of tour credits includes Brooks & Dunn, Brantley Gilbert, Chris Stapleton, Dierks Bentley and Mitchell Tenpenny; this summer, he will join select dates of Luke Bryan’s Country On run. With studio recordings that pack the punch of his propulsive live performances, Braden’s energy and emotion are connecting with fans across the globe.

ABOUT TREATY OAK REVIVAL

Treaty Oak Revival is a Texas country rock band founded deep in the heart of West Texas. Starting in 2019; the band has formed itself on a foundation of Texas Red Dirt Country combined with its influences of punk and southern rock in their style and playing.

ABOUT CHANCEY WILLIAMS

Saddle Bronc athlete turned neo-traditional country music sensation Chancey Williams has gone from competing on horseback, to performing as a headliner at fairs, festivals, and venues across the country. As one of only two artists (Chris LeDoux) to both compete in the rodeo and perform on the main stage at Cheyenne Frontier Days, and the only singer/songwriter to be endorsed by CINCH®, Williams is the next authentic cowboy of country music.

Growing up on a ranch in the northeastern corner of Wyoming, Williams is one of the proud few hailing from Moorcroft, WY – a town so small it doesn’t need stoplights. Rodeo, wrestling, and academic talents took him first to Casper College, and then to the University of Wyoming.  Williams earned several degrees, including a Master’s in Public Administration, but it was music and the camaraderie of the road that continued to take him all over the United States.

2023 brought a string of continued successes – Williams kicked off the year with the release of his latest album, One of These Days, was invited to make his debut at the historic Grand Ole Opry, played multiple dates with Parker McCollum and Ian Munsick, made an appearance at Cheyenne Frontier Days with Dierks Bentley, stopped to visit military families at several Fisher House locations nationwide, and capped the year performing on national television opening the 5th round of the National Finals Rodeo and headlining the main showroom at South Point (“ground zero”) at the most important rodeo event in the world.

In January, Williams released his new single “A Cowboy Who Would,” this time with hit songwriter Brice Long at the production helm. The tune – which offers a shift in the typical “leaving kind” cowboy mentality and, instead, finds the former saddle bronc athlete opting to hang his hat with the woman he loves – has already been added by more than 150 country stations nationwide, was featured by PickleJar’s “Up All Night” program (which is syndicated on 47 Cumulus stations nationwide), was featured on country music’s biggest and best longest-running countdown show in North America, Country Top 40’s Launchpad with Fitz!, and is receiving airplay on Local Radio Network’s MainStream Country and Super Star Country show formats. His 2024 tour includes Williams’ debut performance at The Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado, a headlining spot at the Black Hills Stock, and a return to the Grand Ole Opry.

ABOUT DANNY STEVENS

Danny Stevens is a Nashville based singer and songwriter who was also the frontman of The Audition, an underrated and prolific pop-rock band that was active in the early to late 2000’s. Danny admittedly hasn’t done any long-form interviews about his time with The Audition so we get the most in-depth and honest record to date about Danny first joining the band, their relationship with the controversial Victory Records, to the band’s quiet disbandment. Danny also unveils his new solo project, which hasn’t been officially announced, but will be sweeping the airways in the next few months. As you’ll hear him describe, this is just the beginning of the most exciting phase in his musical career.

ABOUT JOSH ROSS

Echoing the primary themes of country in his pop-rock-infused way, Josh Ross’s take on love, work, and play is often documented through his whirlwind experiences. From moving to Nashville, the night of a tornado, leaving only a month later when a global pandemic arrived, to developing an ever-evolving career amidst the drawbacks of injuries, lockdowns, and conflicting relationships, Josh Ross is a country artist bound by the act of forging past and overcoming restraints.

“There is something to be said about when your heart is really in the right place to sing something… As an artist, I want the listener and me to go back to a song and remember our exact experiences around it, to encourage connection in all forms,” Josh said. The need for that musical connection began growing up in Burlington, Ontario’s suburbia. Overhearing his parents sing along to Guns N Roses and Bruce Springsteen in their kitchen while he ran around the house pretending to play guitar. Learning in those early years what music was, he found himself writing words in his notebook that, at the time, he didn’t realize were poems and lyrics. Onwards through school, he focused on sports like motocross and football, eventually encountering the injuries that came with each game.

Following several football-related injuries at Ontario’s Western University, the isolation that came from the injuries allowed Josh some time to develop his relationship with music. Taking nearly empty shuttle buses to get to school due to the cast on his leg, learning how to play guitar in his dorm, and on a few noise-complaint occasions bringing two speakers and a subwoofer into the bathroom to belt songs, Josh eventually made the shift of not just listening to music but making his own.

“I had a lot of catching up to do,” Josh said on his first few years immersing himself in the music industry. From practicing in his dorm to playing his first live show at the Boots & Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase in front of 5,000 people, Josh stated that “I used to throw up before the football games because of the anxiety, which is probably why I threw up before that show.” While the pressure to succeed in his sports days poured over into his music career, the drive to achieve inspired him to connect with various songwriters and musicians, eventually leading him to Nashville. In conflict with choosing a stable job post-university or setting his sights on the music industry, Josh Ross’s passions, and talent, pushed him to the path of Nashville, where he further began developing his sound and artistry. From 2019 onwards, Josh Ross dove head-first into his music career as an artist with sonic elements in his music, nodding to raw country, soft rock, and hints of 80s pop-rock.

ABOUT NATE SMITH

Featuring a mix of gritty backwoods soul, rock ‘n’ roll swagger and velvet-thunder vocals, Nate Smith’s personal journey inspired him to be a beacon of country-music hope, an inspirational mission he puts front-and-center. A California native, former worship leader, and lifelong music lover, Smith approaches that mission with a background as eclectic as it gets. Learning guitar at 13, Garth Brooks, Elvis Presley and Bob Seger were among those informing his powerful, fire-from-within vocals, while Michael Jackson made him crave the spotlight and Nirvana gave his sound a jagged edge. In 2018, Smith lost everything he owned in the devastating Camp Fire which tore through Paradise, California, now known as the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in the state’s history. Although his family was safe, he struggled to cope and turned back to music, hoping that it would help comfort himself and others. Help it did, inspiring a month-long road trip across the U.S. to Music City, writing music and playing dive bars along the way.

ABOUT DYLAN SCHNEIDER

Drawn to the storytelling aspects of country music, Dylan Schneider started performing and writing songs at the age of 14, after meeting Brett Eldredge and singing with him on-stage during a concert. After that, he began posting videos to his Facebook page, where he’d cover popular Country songs, gaining a devoted online following.

ABOUT DREW BALDRIDGE

Drew Baldridge was literally moving cows with his brother on the family farm in Patoka, Illinois, when he fully realized his musical destiny. After years of living in Nashville and experimenting with his sound, Drew understood his new direction. All it took was a trip back to his hometown to get back to his roots. To connect to the country.

“When I was out there, it hit me: I wasn’t making music that was authentic to me. I grew up listening to Alabama, Brooks & Dunn, and John Anderson with my grandpa and my friends. It was the music I was raised on. There are a lot of people just like me who grew up that way, and I want my music to reflect them,” says Baldridge.

That small-town feel is reflected in Baldridge’s newest single, “Senior Year,” which is out now via his own Patoka Sounds banner. Written alongside Tim Nichols (Hall of Fame songwriter) and Jordan Walker (Luke Combs), “Senior Year” has captured the attention of country radio as it connects with fans whose school years have been “cancelled” due to COVID-19. Students, parents, teachers, and more are finding solace in this song as they miss the experiences that come during the culmination of high school. Organic fan discovery led the song to chart on both Billboard and Mediabase with no major label support.

“I have several kids and parents that reach out every day saying this song has impacted them in a big way,” says Baldridge. “Although I know times are tough right now, I am so happy that this song is connecting with people. It is a pretty special feeling.”

“Senior Year” is the follow-up to “Before You” which Baldridge released earlier this year – co-written with LoCash members Preston Brust and Chris Lucas – as a tribute to his fiancé Katherine. Just before quarantine locked the country down, Baldridge was lucky enough to squeeze in a trip to propose to his girlfriend of four years.

ABOUT RENEE BLAIR

With over 50 million streams under her belt, the ACM and CMA Award nominee Renee Blair is just getting started. Blair is a rising country singer who grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and at 15 her passion and pursuit for country music brought her to Nashville. Renee’s journey took a turn when she faced several near-death accidents back-to-back early on in her career forcing her to put her music on pause. That pause transcended into a fire and new approach towards music upon her recovery and shortly after she signed her first publishing deal and record deal under industry stalwarts Shane MacAnally, SMACK Songs, and L.A. Reid, Epic Records. Her music is a captivating blend of her diverse sonic influences alongside a heartfelt vulnerability she shares with fans from the troubles she’s experienced in life. She recently gained significant recognition for having helped pen the certified platinum and #1 single, “Wait In The Truck”, performed by Hardy and Lainey Wilson. Blair has been gracing all kinds of stages; from touring with Willie Nelson to performing at dove bars or The Ryman Auditorium with Hardy. Her upcoming studio album Hillbetty is set to be released in the summer of 2024. “Hillbetty” is an alter-ego created by Blair to embrace every woman’s wild side. The debut single off the album has already become a viral sensation, Holy Cowboy. If you are a Renee Blair fan, you know a good time is a guarantee.
