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.
