The introspective 10-track album shows Jelly Roll’s growth as an artist and man\, drawing from his persona l experiences to tell the story of a man who has been through the ringer a nd isn’t afraid to share his raw truth\, featuring his multi-week No. 1 Ro ck hit “Dead Man Walking” and his No. 1 Country debut single “Son of a Sin ner.”\nJelly Roll recently announced the name\, date\, and album cover of his highly-anticipated new album\, WHITSITT CHAPEL\, arriving June 2nd. Ti tled after the church the Antioch-native grew up attending\, the debut ful l-length Country project on BMG/Stoney Creek Records features 13 tracks\, including his current single\, “Need A Favor\,” which dictates “the intern al fight between faith and vices” (American Songwriter). Jelly Roll teased the announcement with images of Whitsitt Chapel’s outdoor sign featuring song lyrics from current and not-yet-released tracks on the album. Additio nal track list information will be announced at a later date.\n“This album is about growth and gratitude happening in my life. I wanted to create a project that felt hopeful. I believe the worst feeling a person can have i s feeling hopeless or worthless. This is therapeutic music. Real music for real people with real problems\,” Jelly Roll shared.\nThe announcement co mes on the heels of a massive\, history-making year for Jelly Roll\, inclu ding selling out his hometown venue – Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena – for more than 16\,000 fans\, making his Grand Ole Opry debut\, scoring his fir st Country radio No. 1 and a two-week Rock No. 1\, and topping Billboard’s Emerging Artist chart for an astounding 25 straight weeks.

With an undeniable string of seven No. 1s – “In Case You Didn’t Kno w” (5X PLATINUM)\, “Mercy” (3X PLATINUM)\, “Sleep Without You” (PLATINUM)\ , “Like I Loved You” (PLATINUM)\, “Here Tonight” (PLATINUM)\, “Catch” (PLA TINUM) and “Lady” (PLATINUM) – and two albums defined by a transcendent ro mantic spark\, he has cemented his status as Country’s master over matters of the heart. The star broadened his emotional scope on WEEKENDS LOOK A L ITTLE DIFFERENT THESE DAYS\, out now along with an acoustic version via BM LG Records. The project features his current single “You Didn’t” and “Lady \,” whose lyrics inspired Young’s debut children’s book LOVE YOU\, LITTLE LADY\, published by Tommy Nelson (an imprint by HarperCollins). He is also featured on Ashley Cooke’s “Never Til Now” and Riley Clemmons’ “Godsend.” Young previously debuted atop the Billboard Country Albums chart with his GOLD-certified TICKET TO L.A. while his PLATINUM self-titled debut domina ted the Top 20 on the Country Albums chart for 37 weeks\, all contributing to over 5.5 billion global streams. Young was named ASCAP’s 2018 Country Songwriter-Artist of the Year for his “melodic craftmanship” (Billboard) a nd has also garnered nominations from ACM\, Billboard\, Teen Choice\, CMT and CMA Awards as he continues to rack up nonstop hits as “one of country’ s most consistent radio stars” (Rolling Stone). Alongside Shay Mooney and Bear Rinehart\, Young also penned “Long Way Home (From The Motion Picture ‘Father Stu’)\,” a new song featured in the Sony Pictures film starring Ac ademy Award Nominee Mark Wahlberg.\n \nCraig Morgan craigmorgan.com\nOver the years\, Craig Morgan has come to think of his career like a house\, ha nd built over time and resting on a firm foundation. Faithful Christian. D edicated family man. Distinguished veteran of the US Army. Those are the p illars that have allowed the chart-topping singer\, songwriter and live pe rformer to add room after room to his house – now more like a sprawling ma nsion. But with God\, Family\, Country\, his 2020 album for Broken Bow Rec ords\, the Nashville native admits it felt like he was putting on the fina l touches.\nMarking his ninth studio set\, God\, Family\, Country combined five new songs with some of the most powerful tracks of his career\, incl uding hits “That’s What I Love About Sunday\,” “Almost Home\,” and more. I t was an album of contrast\, both created in the moment and capturing a bi gger picture\, with Craig stepping back to consider the “what” and “why” o f his creation. But in becoming “one of the most special records I’ve ever done\,” it was ultimately far more than a craftsman checking his work. It inspired a whole new addition\nNow\, the hitmaker behind “Redneck Yacht C lub\,” “International Harvester” and “Little Bit of Life” has expanded his God\, Family\, Country chapter\, adding a new Deluxe Edition to the album \, a gripping\, best-selling memoir and more. The blueprints are back on t he table – and this time they include more personal touches than ever.\n“I feel so good\,” Craig says. “Career wise\, family wise\, my heart\, my so ul\, my spirit\, my faith\, all those things are good – unbelievable\, rea lly. Every time I think I’m about ready to start slowing down\, God throws a wrench in it and it gets me right back in the middle.”\nCall it a renai ssance if you want\, but Craig today continues to evolve from the guy who released country-radio classics like the four-week chart-topper\, “That’s What I Love About Sunday” – Billboard’s Number One country single of 2005. He still has an unquenchable spirit and joy for life\, but he and his fam ily have also known great loss with the passing of their son Jerry in 2016 . Instead of snuffing out Craig’s artistry\, however\, that unimaginable t ragedy led to him writing his most personal and emotional song to date\, “ The Father\, My Son and the Holy Ghost\,” released in 2019.\nThe aching ba llad topped the iTunes all-genre sales chart and led directly to this new career chapter\, becoming the centerpiece of God\, Family\, Country and th e inspiration to go further. Released on Veteran’s Day (November 11)\, Go d\, Family\, Country (Deluxe Edition) adds four new songs to what was alre ady a deeply personal project\, three of which he wrote.\n“Ask Him” arrive s as a head-over-heels romantic stunner with long-lasting devotion. “I May Drink a Little\,” finds a man of faith maintaining his beliefs\, even tho ugh he’s not perfect. And “Sounds Like Home\,” features a sentimental fron t-porch sway that could be the soundtrack to a picturesque country sunset. \nMixing old-school grit with a modern country pulse\, it’s a tune for the times\, which resonated with the star right away.\n“It’s a societal story \,” Craig says. “It’s what’s going on in our world. This song talks about how ‘you run\, you crawl\, you rise\, you fall\, you hit your knees until you learn to stand. That’s how you make a man.’ This is how we each become better as humans.”\nIt’s also 100-percent country\, and the guiding princ iple Craig has followed like a North Star his whole career. God\, Family\, Country (Deluxe Edition) just puts it all in one place.\n“This album is b ased on everything that’s happened in my life and my career\,” he says. “I feel like I have some of the most quality songs I’ve ever recorded\, and there is a new energy here. After all I’ve been through\, I’m at one of th e most inspired places I’ve ever been.”\nThat inspiration isn’t limited to music\, though\, as Craig also shared his full story for the first time. Co-authored with New York Times bestseller Jim DeFelice (who also co-wrote Chris Kyle’s American Sniper)\, Craig’s memoir GOD\, FAMILY\, COUNTRY: So ldier\, Singer\, Husband\, Dad—There’s a Whole Lot More to Me reveals not only the roots of his country career and serve as a testament to his famil ial dedication\, but also much of the behind-the-scenes action fans never saw.\nA thrilling ride from the start\, Craig opens up about his time as a n elite military operator\, teaming with the CIA and more to parachute int o the Central American jungle\, bust up human trafficking rings in Thailan d\, and even run a cover operation in Iraq at the height of his career.\n“ The thing is\, I’ve talked about little snippets of these stories througho ut my life\,” he says. “Some on the radio\, in interviews and different th ings. But I have never put everything together\, and it wasn’t until then that I went\, ‘Holy crap. I have done a lot.’”\nMeanwhile\, the inspiratio n has also taken him to TV. In the CBS/Paramount + adventure reality serie s Beyond The Edge\, Craig returned to the Panamanian jungles to put the su rvival skills he learned in the Army to further use – the same ones he tau ght pilots training for a potential crash\, and now offers clients through his Alaskan Off the Grid Experience.\nIt’s true\, that house Craig’s been building has now grown in ways he never expected\, but the foundation is still the same – and with his God\, Family\, Country headlining tour\, fol ks could say that foundation is as strong as ever.\nWrapping in Nashville on Veterans Day with his first ever headlining show at the Ryman Auditoriu m – his hometown’s fabled “Mother Church of Country Music” – the Grand Ole Opry member still shines in front of an audience. He calls the sold-out s how a mountaintop moment\, perhaps the pinnacle of his long career and lif e story … so far\, that is.\n“Proud isn’t the right word as much as gratef ul\,” he says. “I just want to inspire and motivate people to try to do go od and be better for themselves and everyone else involved.”\nJackson Dean jacksondeanmusic.com\n\nFast-rising Country singer/songwriter Jackson Dea n is quickly earning a reputation for his old school\, gritty\, lyric-driv en\, outlaw style of Country following a breakout year that landed him on Pandora’s Ten for 2023 (all genre)\, Spotify’s Hot Country Artists to Watc h 2023\, the CMT Listen Up class of 2023\, CRS New Faces 2023\, Amazon Mus ic’s 2023 Breakthrough Artists to Watch: Country Class as well as a slew o f other artist to watch lists. Mature beyond his years\, Jackson opted to move out to a cinderblock\, concrete floor\, one-room shack on the back of his grandfather’s property with no heat and no plumbing at just 18 years old. An adventurous and carefree spirit\, the 22-year-old multi-instrument alist\, is also an old soul and skilled artisan whose pastimes include mak ing leather goods\, wood-burned art and disappearing into the woods to sle ep under the stars. Bringing that same sense of adventure and down home vi be to his songwriting\, the “modern-day Country rambler” (Taste of Country ) burst on the scene\, showing people how real music can be with his atmos pheric\, musically-forward debut album Greenbroke (out now via Big Machine Records). The Maryland native’s single\, “Don’t Come Lookin’” was the fas test debut to reach No. 1 in 2022 and cemented Jackson as the youngest sol o male Country artist to reach the top of the charts with a debut. Landing spots on the Billboard Hot 100\, the soundtrack for Netflix’s The Ice Roa d and a John Dutton scene in Yellowstone. His sophomore single\, “Fearless (The Echo)” is currently climbing the Country radio charts after being Mo st Added upon impact. Following an early career of local performances in h is hometown\, Jackson has joined bills with superstar acts like Toby Keith \, Miranda Lambert\, Brantley Gilbert\, Kane Brown\, Jake Owen\, Brooks & Dunn\, Lee Brice\, HARDY and Brothers Osborne and found himself on the bil l for credible events like Austin City Limits and Stagecoach. The young ta lent just kicked off the Back to the Honky Tonk Tour with Blake Shelton an d Carly Pearce and will join dates with Eric Church and Parker McCollum la ter this year.\nShane Profitt shaneprofitt.com\nA salt of the earth Southe rner with a straight-shooting swagger and kind smile\, Shane Profitt’s mus ical toolbox is full of all-natural talent. At the end of 2021\, he was st ill pulling overtime at his job with the city\, busting his back about an hour south of Nashville and living for the weekend – with a few decades le ft to go. But now\, the 22-year-old is rocking sold-out crowds at the hist oric Ryman Auditorium\, touring with his chart-topping hero Chris Janson a nd writing modern Country tunes so genuine\, they slip on like a pair of b roken-in work boots. Because no one has to tell this singer/songwriter wha t a blue-collar life is all about. Profitt’s journey starts a few years ag o\, when his grandad asked what he wanted for Christmas and his wish was t o learn how to play Hank Jr. songs on the guitar. Beginning with G\, C and D chords\, he stuck with it. Gifted with a heavy-duty vocal\, Profitt bec ame a regular draw at the popular Southern-cooking chain\, Puckett’s\, tra veling all over Tennessee to weekend shows while still holding down his jo b back home. And while that made for some long hours\, it also led to insp iration for original music. Today\, the emerging artist debuts his boots-o n-the-ground writing style and big\, barrel-chested voice with a 3-song co llection MAURY COUNTY LINE\, available now via BMLG Records/Harpeth 60 Rec ords. With tracks like the hook filled honky tonker “Better Off Fishin’\,” chest-thumping charmer “Guys Like Me” and his hopeful heaven-on-earth Cou ntry radio single “How It Oughta Be\,” Profitt puts his life to music – al ong with the lives of so many others. And this is just the beginning.\nPre -Show VIP SideStage\nChris Shrive and Gracie Jane Sinclair\nFroggy 101’s 2 0th Guitars & Stars!

\nOver the years\, Craig Morgan has come to think of his career like a house\, hand built over time and resting on a firm foundation. Faithful Christian. Dedicated family man. Distinguished veteran of the US Army. Those are the pillars that have allowed the chart -topping singer\, songwriter and live performer to add room after room to his house – now more like a sprawling mansion. But with God\, Family\, Country\, his 2020 album for Broken Bow Records\, the Nashville nati ve admits it felt like he was putting on the final touches.
\nMarkin g his ninth studio set\, God\, Family\, Country combined five new songs with some of the most powerful tracks of his career\, including hit s “That’s What I Love About Sunday\,” “Almost Home\,” and more. It was an album of contrast\, both created in the moment and capturing a bigger pict ure\, with Craig stepping back to consider the “what” and “why” of his cre ation. But in becoming “one of the most special records I’ve ever done\,” it was ultimately far more than a craftsman checking his work. It inspired a whole new addition
\nNow\, the hitmaker behind “Redneck Yacht Clu b\,” “International Harvester” and “Little Bit of Life” has expanded his < em>God\, Family\, Country chapter\, adding a new Deluxe< /em> Edition to the album\, a gripping\, best-selling memoir and more. The blueprints are back on the table – and this time they include mo re personal touches than ever.
\n“I feel so good\,” Craig says. “Car eer wise\, family wise\, my heart\, my soul\, my spirit\, my faith\, all t hose things are good – unbelievable\, really. Every time I think I’m about ready to start slowing down\, God throws a wrench in it and it gets me ri ght back in the middle.”
\nCall it a renaissance if you want\, but C raig today continues to evolve from the guy who released country-radio cla ssics like the four-week chart-topper\, “That’s What I Love About Sunday” – Billboard’s Number One country single of 2005. He still has an unquenchable spirit and joy for life\, but he and his family have also kno wn great loss with the passing of their son Jerry in 2016. Instead of snuf fing out Craig’s artistry\, however\, that unimaginable tragedy led to him writing his most personal and emotional song to date\, “The Father\, My S on and the Holy Ghost\,” released in 2019.
\nThe aching ballad toppe d the iTunes all-genre sales chart and led directly to this new career cha pter\, becoming the centerpiece of God\, Family\, Country and the inspiration to go further. Released on Veteran’s Day (November 11)\, God\, Family\, Country (Deluxe Edition) adds four new songs to what was already a deeply personal project\, three of which he wrote.
\n“ Ask Him” arrives as a head-over-heels romantic stunner with long-lasting d evotion. “I May Drink a Little\,” finds a man of faith maintaining his bel iefs\, even though he’s not perfect. And “Sounds Like Home\,” features a s entimental front-porch sway that could be the soundtrack to a picturesque country sunset.
\nMixing old-school grit with a modern country pulse \, it’s a tune for the times\, which resonated with the star right away. p>\n
“It’s a societal story\,” Craig says. “It’s what’s going on in our world. This song talks about how ‘you run\, you crawl\, you rise\, you fal l\, you hit your knees until you learn to stand. That’s how you make a man .’ This is how we each become better as humans.”
\nIt’s also 100-per cent country\, and the guiding principle Craig has followed like a North S tar his whole career. God\, Family\, Country (Deluxe Edition) jus t puts it all in one place.
\n“This album is based on everything tha t’s happened in my life and my career\,” he says. “I feel like I have some of the most quality songs I’ve ever recorded\, and there is a new energy here. After all I’ve been through\, I’m at one of the most inspired places I’ve ever been.”
\nThat inspiration isn’t limited to music\, though \, as Craig also shared his full story for the first time. Co-aut hored with New York Times bestseller Jim DeFelice (who also co-wr ote Chris Kyle’s American Sniper)\, Craig’s memoir GOD\, FAMI LY\, COUNTRY: Soldier\, Singer\, Husband\, Dad—There’s a Whole Lot More to Me reveals not only the roots of his country career and serve as a t estament to his familial dedication\, but also much of the behind-the-scen es action fans never saw.
\nA thrilling ride from the start\, Craig opens up about his time as an elite military operator\, teaming with the C IA and more to parachute into the Central American jungle\, bust up human trafficking rings in Thailand\, and even run a cover operation in Iraq at the height of his career.
\n“The thing is\, I’ve talked about little snippets of these stories throughout my life\,” he says. “Some on the rad io\, in interviews and different things. But I have never put everything t ogether\, and it wasn’t until then that I went\, ‘Holy crap. I have done a lot.’”
\nMeanwhile\, the inspiration has also taken him to TV. In t he CBS/Paramount + adventure reality series Beyond The Edge\, Cra ig returned to the Panamanian jungles to put the survival skills he learne d in the Army to further use – the same ones he taught pilots training for a potential crash\, and now offers clients through his Alaskan Off the Gr id Experience.
\nIt’s true\, that house Craig’s been building has no w grown in ways he never expected\, but the foundation is still the same – and with his God\, Family\, Country headlining tour\, folks coul d say that foundation is as strong as ever.
\nWrapping in Nashville on Veterans Day with his first ever headlining show at the Ryman Auditoriu m – his hometown’s fabled “Mother Church of Country Music” – the Grand Ole Opry member still shines in front of an audience. He calls the sold-out s how a mountaintop moment\, perhaps the pinnacle of his long career and lif e story … so far\, that is.
\n“Proud isn’t the right word as much as grateful\,” he says. “I just want to inspire and motivate people to try t o do good and be better for themselves and everyone else involved.”

\nA salt of the earth South erner with a straight-shooting swagger and kind smile\, Shane Profitt’s mu sical toolbox is full of all-natural talent. At the end of 2021\, he was s till pulling overtime at his job with the city\, busting his back about an hour south of Nashville and living for the weekend – with a few decades l eft to go. But now\, the 22-year-old is rocking sold-out crowds at the his toric Ryman Auditorium\, touring with his chart-topping hero Chris Janson and writing modern Country tunes so genuine\, they slip on like a pair of broken-in work boots. Because no one has to tell this singer/songwriter wh at a blue-collar life is all about. Profitt’s journey starts a few years a go\, when his grandad asked what he wanted for Christmas and his wish was to learn how to play Hank Jr. songs on the guitar. Beginning with G\, C an d D chords\, he stuck with it. Gifted with a heavy-duty vocal\, Profitt be came a regular draw at the popular Southern-cooking chain\, Puckett’s\, tr aveling all over Tennessee to weekend shows while still holding down his j ob back home. And while that made for some long hours\, it also led to ins piration for original music. Today\, the emerging artist debuts his boots- on-the-ground writing style and big\, barrel-chested voice with a 3-song c ollection MAURY COUNTY LINE\, available now via BMLG Records/Harpeth 60 Re cords. With tracks like the hook filled honky tonker “Better Off Fishin’\, ” chest-thumping charmer “Guys Like Me” and his hopeful heaven-on-earth Co untry radio single “How It Oughta Be\,” Profitt puts his life to music – a long with the lives of so many others. And this is just the beginning.

\nFeaturing
Parmale e ParmaleeMusic.com strong>
\nKnown for their distinct family harmony\, irresistibl e melodies\, and sure-fire radio favorites\, including Billboard’s Most Pl ayed Country Song of 2022\, “Take My Name\,” Parmalee has not-so-quietly b ecome one of the genre’s most undeniable contemporary country hitmakers. p>\n

All but “Carolina” are on Parmalee’s new album “For You 2\,” which\, at 18 songs deep\, is the deluxe version of the band’s third studio proje ct “For You\,” which was released in 2021.
\nWith determination as s trong as it was when they first started playing together and 18 songs read y to release to the world\, Parmalee is poised to take the next steps in t heir sky-rocketing career. They have no regrets.
\n“We just love to play\,” Josh said. “We love to tour. We love the live connection. Our drea m was just to play music for a living. Anything more than that is a bonus. ”
\nBrian Kelley officialbriankelley.com
\nWith the anthemi c delivery of his current single\, “See You Next Summer\,” and homegrown f ollow-up “Dirt Cheap\,” DIAMOND-selling superstar Brian Kelley enters the next chapter of a record-breaking\, history-making career. In the studio w orking on his full-length debut album with Big Machine Records\, he first made waves with his passion project SUNSHINE STATE OF MIND in 202 1 (which American Songwriter called “some of the best modern coun try put to tape.”) With a sold-out run of shows and back-to-back residenci es at Tribe Kelley Surf Post in Grayton Beach\, FL – owned by the Ormond B each native and his wife Brittney – Kelley continues to diversify his thri ving enterprise with collaborations including cult-favorite brand Tribe Ke lley with Brittney and a partnership with Oyster City Brewing Company.

Priscilla Block priscillablock.com
“This is me\,” says Priscilla Block. “Love it or leave it.”< /p>\n
It’s that kind of attitude towards life\, and her fearless music-m aking\, that has made the rising country star one of the genre’s most exci ting new artists and one of its most authentic and relatable voices. One p art endless party\, one part unmitigated honesty\, and one part best frien d who always gives it to you straight\, even when it hurts\, Priscilla’s d ebut album\, Welcome to the Block Party\, finds an artist who is redefinin g ‘three chords and the truth’ for an entirely new generation.
\nWel come to the Block Party is this approach in album form. From the songs lik e “Heels in Hand” and “Ever Since You Left” that detail the many dynamics of a relationship from the crying to the kiss-offs\, to “My Bar” that flip s the genre’s gender roles\, to the album’s closer “Peaked in High School\ ,” written as a victory lap for anyone who may not have been the homecomin g king or queen.
\n“I write about what I know\,” Priscilla says. “If that’s heartbreak or struggle or owning my flaws and being unapologetical ly me.” Doing things her own way has paid off. Pegged as a 2021 Artist to Watch by Amazon Music\, PANDORA\, Spotify\, CMT\, The Boot\, MusicRow\, HI TS\, Sounds Like Nashville\, Country Now\, Music Mayhem and more\, Priscil la’s streaming has topped 250million and rising. With Welcome to the Block Party\, Priscilla rolls out the welcome mat even further\, because she’s truly just getting started.
\n“You get the funny\, you get the sassy \, you get the trashy\, you get the sad\,” Priscilla says of Welcome to th e Block Party. “You get everything that makes me\, me.”
\nSometimes you just follo
w your heart\, even when you’re not sure where it’s taking you. For
Six songs\, recorded with multi-Platinum CMA Album of the Year pr oducer Michael Knox\, Dive Bars & Broken Hea rts traces a boy coming into his own\, chasing life and girls\, getti ng his heart broken and learning to man up\, carry on and evolve. Portrayi ng coming of age for Ray – and so many young men (and women) just like him \, it’s easy-going in places\, moody and dark in others\; it’s almost a lo ve song to being willing to face life as it comes\, know there’s solace in the jukebox and a better day if you’re willing to reach for it.
\n“Life is sometimes a lot simpler than we mak e it\,” says the dark-headed vocalist. “And we have a lot more power to ac cept what doesn’t work and grow\, or to create the best possible life than we realize… And that’s where some of the best country songs come from. Fo r me\, Dive Bars is about all that\, wi thout ever giving up or losing your sense of the right thing to do.”
\n“There are pieces of me in all these son gs\,” Ray explains. “It’s how I grew up\, what I learned\, how I became a man… and how I was raised to always try every day to be a better man. But even more importantly\, we didn’t shy away from having to man up and not j ust react\, to recognize that you’re gonna make some mistakes along the wa y. More importantly\, for me or anyone listening\, there’s friendship and getting through even the tough stuff\; you hear Meghan Patrick singing ‘Sp irits & Demons’ with me\, that’s everything< /em> life and country music is: temptation\, melody\, knowing better\, get ting tougher and being real.
\n“Setti ng this project up\, we’ve been in some dive bars\, the Grand Ole Opry\, p laying some really big festivals. All I know is everywhere we go\, people are responding to these songs like they do ‘Whiskey and Rain’ and ‘Think a Little Less.’ When you can do that with new songs\, that says something… But whether it’s just how good these songs feel\, or the fact I’ve lived a ll of them and a lot of other people have been in the same situations\, th e live crowds feel like they know what I’m singing about!”
\nGeorge Birge georg ebirge.com
\nBirge (rhymes with “merge”) was scrolling through the TikTok account he had just created whe n he came across a star of the platform poking fun at country music. Erynn Chambers\, known to her three-quarter of a million followers as Rynnstar\ , joked that many country songs are just repetitious ditties about beer\, trucks\, and girls. To her credit\, she had a point\, but Birge was determ ined to prove to Rynnstar that in the right hands even the most mundane of phrases can inspire a great\, multi-layered song.
\nWith that in mind\, the Texas-born\, Nashville-based songwriter gr abbed his guitar and wrote “Beer Beer\, Truck Truck\,” an up-tempo sing-al ong that is about far more than those writing-room tropes. It’s about miss ing the one you love and wooing them to come back. “I know the city called you\, go baby spread your wings/I’ll be here waiting on you\, out here in the country\,” Birge sings.
\n“ The whole point was to say that\, yeah\, the country lifestyle may not be as flashy or as fast-paced as the city\, but there’s more to it than meets the eye — and if you give me a chance\, I’ll show you how good it can be\ ,” Birge says. As the lyrics drive home\, it’s not all “beer\, beer/truck\ , truck/girls in them tight jeans.”
\n“I’m not a guy that’s too cool for school. I just want to tell a sto ry in a fresh way\, like I heard on country radio growing up\,” Birge says . “And then sit down and have a beer with whoever’s listening.”

He’s a 21st century traditionalist — an ar tist who’s both timely and timeless\, racking up a half-dozen Number 1 sin gles and ten Top 10 hits with a sound that honors his heroes. From his fir st radio smash\, 2002’s “The Impossible\,” to 2021’s Home Run\,” Nichols h as proudly done things his own way\, blurring the boundaries between count ry music’s past and present along the way.\nConner Smith connersmithmusic. com\nJust 23 years old and already a seasoned veteran of Nashville’s elite songwriting community\, Conner Smith has emerged as one of Country’s most hotly-anticipated artists – one knows the past can still inspire the pres ent\, and good things come to those who wait. An uncommon talent mixing pr ime-of-life passion with old-soul perspective\, the rising singer/songwrit er has spent 15 years matching a honeyed vocal to propulsive hints of blue grass and the warmth of ‘90s Country\, an instant-classic sound infused wi th riveting modern appeal. Moving Country forward while remembering its al l-natural roots\, Smith’s long-anticipated full-length debut album SMOKY M OUNTAINS (The Valory Music Co.)\, out now\, is meant to stand the test of time. Featuring GOLD-certified “Take It Slow\,” viral hit “I Hate Alabama” and current Top-15-and-climbing single “Creek Will Rise\,” his deeply per sonal 12-song project is one of classic style and contemporary spirit\, an d a reflection of the artist himself. These songs\, among others\, laid an artistic foundation that earned Smith Artist to Watch status from Spotify \, Amazon Music and Opry NextStage\, while also making him the only Countr y artist on Pandora’s Ten List 2022 and secured 2023 recognition from Musi cRow Next Big Thing and CMT Listen Up as well as joining the CRS New Faces Class of 2024. Deemed “an unstoppable force to be reckoned with” by CMT\, Smith’s authentic storytelling and rich\, soulful voice has resonated wit h audiences nationwide\, earning him a dedicated and passionate following. Recently touring alongside some of Country’s biggest artists including Lu ke Bryan\, Cole Swindell\, Chase Rice and Jordan Davis\, the “future enter tainer of the year” (Morning Hangover) continues to put on his signature “ high energy fan forward show” (All Country News) while headlining his CREE K WILL RISE TOUR through February 24 in the US before traveling across the pond for C2C Festival in March\, joining CMA’s Introducing Nashville line up for performances throughout the U.K. and Europe.\nRunaway June runawayj une.com\nProclaimed by Billboard as the “Next Hot Trend in Country Music” and likened to The Chicks for a new generation\, Runaway June is comprised of Stevie Woodward (lead vocals/guitar/harmonica/piano)\, Natalie Stovall (vocals/fiddle/guitar)\, and Jennifer Wayne (vocals/guitar). The trio’s “ inescapable talent” (AXS.com) is multiplied by their seamlessly rich\, org anic harmonies and fiery\, western-rooted bluegrass sound. The “Next Women of Country” (CMT) have earned praise from Billboard\, Rolling Stone Count ry\, The Huffington Post\, Paste\, People and more. They’ve made numerous national TV appearances including TODAY\, GMA and CMA Country Christmas an d have been nominated for ACM Awards and CMT Awards.\nDue to their electri fying live show\, Runaway June has performed at Stagecoach\, C2C Country T o Country\, and on some of the biggest tours in country music\, opening fo r superstars like Garth Brooks\, Luke Bryan\, Alan Jackson and Carrie Unde rwood. Honored as a coveted “New Face” at the 2020 Country Radio Seminar\, the BBR Music Group / Wheelhouse Records trio’s Top 5 single\, “Buy My Ow n Drinks” was the highest charting song by a female group since The Chicks in 2003. Their debut album Blue Roses (2019) received critical acclaim an d was included on Rolling Stone’s and Paste Magazine’s best albums of the year lists. Most recently on tour with Luke Bryan’s 2021 Proud To Be Right Here Tour\, the award-nominated trio’s bright\, rootsy new EP\, backstory \, is out now.\nMatt Stell mattstell.com\n\n\nIt’s an insight the Arkansas native has long taken to heart. In his case\, heroes and influences stret ch from Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley\, through Alanis Morissette and Oasi s\, to Miranda Lambert and Jason Isbell. But through the endless one-night ers\, opening slots\, and writers’ rooms that constitute paying dues\, he learned what true artists always learn—that the best tribute is not imitat ion but transformation—finding the place inside that connects with those i nfluences and turns them into a unique and honest voice. He has learned th at lesson well.\n“The music I make now is mine because I believe it and it ’s true\,” he says. “That’s what I can contribute\, and that’s how I see m yself fitting in. The currency of the realm is authenticity\, and I think there’s room for mine.”\nThat’s something he proved with back-to-back #1s that put him in the forefront of this era’s artist-songwriters\, and he pr oves it again with One Of Us\, an EP that establishes him as an artist of real depth and vision.\nThe breakthrough came with the 2X PLATINUM “Prayed For You\,” the only debut single to top the Billboard Country Airplay cha rt in 2019. The PLATINUM follow-up\, “Everywhere But On\,” made him one of just a handful of new artists to hit the top twice in a row in six years. In the process\, he racked up more than half a BILLION total global strea ms across his catalog while surpassing 27 million views alone for the offi cial music video for “Prayed For You.”\n\nChase Matthew chasematthew.com\n Since releasing his debut album\, Born For This\, earlier this year\, Matt hew has been busy selling out venues across the nation on his headline ‘Bo rn For This’ Tour\, recently making his hometown headline debut in Nashvil le to a SOLD-OUT crowd of more than 1\,600 fans.

\nFeaturing
Joe Nichols joenichols.com
\nJoe Nichols has been a mainstay of country music for two dec ades\, bridging the gap between the genre’s old-school roots and contempor ary era. He’s a 21st century traditionalist — an artist who’s both timely and timeless\, racking up a half-dozen Number 1 singles and ten Top 10 hit s with a sound that honors his heroes. From his first radio smash\, 2002’s “The Impossible\,” to 2021’s Home Run\,” Nichols has proudly done things his own way\, blurring the boundaries between country music’s past and pre sent along the way.
\nConner Smith connersmithmusic.com
\nJust 23 years old and already a seasoned veteran of Nashville’s elite songwrit ing community\, Conner Smith has emerged as one of Country’s most hotly-an ticipated artists – one knows the past can still inspire the present\, and good things come to those who wait. An uncommon talent mixing prime-of-li fe passion with old-soul perspective\, the rising singer/songwriter has sp ent 15 years matching a honeyed vocal to propulsive hints of bluegrass and the warmth of ‘90s Country\, an instant-classic sound infused with riveti ng modern appeal. Moving Country forward while remembering its all-natural roots\, Smith’s long-anticipated full-length debut album SMOKY MOUNTAINS (The Valory Music Co.)\, out now\, is meant to stand the test of time. Fea turing GOLD-certified “Take It Slow\,” viral hit “I Hate Alabama” and curr ent Top-15-and-climbing single “Creek Will Rise\,” his deeply personal 12- song project is one of classic style and contemporary spirit\, and a refle ction of the artist himself. These songs\, among others\, laid an artistic foundation that earned Smith Artist to Watch status from Spotify\, Amazon Music and Opry NextStage\, while also making him the only Country artist on Pandora’s Ten List 2022 and secured 2023 recognition from MusicRow Next Big Thing and CMT Listen Up as well as joining the CRS New Faces Class of 2024. Deemed “an unstoppable force to be reckoned with” by CMT\, Smith’s authentic storytelling and rich\, soulful voice has resonated with audienc es nationwide\, earning him a dedicated and passionate following. Recently touring alongside some of Country’s biggest artists including Luke Bryan\ , Cole Swindell\, Chase Rice and Jordan Davis\, the “future entertainer of the year” (Morning Hangover) continues to put on his signature “high ener gy fan forward show” (All Country News) while headlining his CREEK WILL RI SE TOUR through February 24 in the US before traveling across the pond for C2C Festival in March\, joining CMA’s Introducing Nashville lineup for pe rformances throughout the U.K. and Europe.
\nRunaway Jun e runawayj une.com
\nProclaimed by Billboard as the “Next Hot Tren d in Country Music” and likened to The Chicks for a new generation\, Runaw ay June is comprised of Stevie Woodward (lead vocals/guitar/harmonica/pian o)\, Natalie Stovall (vocals/fiddle/guitar)\, and Jennifer Wayne (vocals/g uitar). The trio’s “inescapable talent” (AXS.com) is multiplied by their s eamlessly rich\, organic harmonies and fiery\, western-rooted bluegrass so und. The “Next Women of Country” (CMT) have earned praise from Billboard\, Rolling Stone Country\, The Huffington Post\, Paste\, People and more. Th ey’ve made numerous national TV appearances including TODAY\, GMA and CMA Country Christmas and have been nominated for ACM Awards and CMT Awards. p>\n
Due to their electrifying live show\, Runaway June has performed at Stagecoach\, C2C Country To Country\, and on some of the biggest tours in country music\, opening for superstars like Garth Brooks\, Luke Bryan\, A lan Jackson and Carrie Underwood. Honored as a coveted “New Face” at the 2 020 Country Radio Seminar\, the BBR Music Group / Wheelhouse Records trio’ s Top 5 single\, “Buy My Own Drinks” was the highest charting song by a fe male group since The Chicks in 2003. Their debut album Blue Roses (2019) r eceived critical acclaim and was included on Rolling Stone’s and Paste Mag azine’s best albums of the year lists. Most recently on tour with Luke Bry an’s 2021 Proud To Be Right Here Tour\, the award-nominated trio’s bright\ , rootsy new EP\, backstory\, is out now.
\nI t’s an insight the Arkansas native has long taken to heart. In his case\, heroes and influences stretch from Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley\, through Alanis Morissette and Oasis\, to Miranda Lambert and Jason Isbell. But th rough the endless one-nighters\, opening slots\, and writers’ rooms that c onstitute paying dues\, he learned what true artists always learn—that the best tribute is not imitation but transformation—finding the place inside that connects with those influences and turns them into a unique and hone st voice. He has learned that lesson well.
\n“The music I make now i s mine because I believe it and it’s true\,” he says. “That’s what I can c ontribute\, and that’s how I see myself fitting in. The currency of the re alm is authenticity\, and I think there’s room for mine.”
\nThat’s s omething he proved with back-to-back #1s that put him in the forefront of this era’s artist-songwriters\, and he proves it again with One Of Us\, an EP that establishes him as an artist of real depth and vision.
\nTh e breakthrough came with the 2X PLATINUM “Prayed For You\,” the only debut single to top the Billboard Country Airplay chart in 2019. The PLATINUM f ollow-up\, “Everywhere But On\,” made him one of just a handful of new art ists to hit the top twice in a row in six years. In the process\, he racke d up more than half a BILLION total global streams across his catalog whil e surpassing 27 million views alone for the official music video for “Pray ed For You.”
\nChase Matthew chasematthew.com
\nSince releasing his debut album\, Born For This\, earlier this year\, Matthew has been busy selling out venues across the nation on his headline ‘Born For This’ Tour\, recently making his hometown headline debut in Nashville to a SOLD-OUT crowd of more than 1\,600 fans. His singl e\, “She Loves Jesus\,” is out now\, and fans can expect more new music fr om this Nashville riser in the coming months.
