101’s Guitars & Stars
\nFeaturing
According to an age-old cliché\, getting knocked down ain’t what matters – it’s how you get up\, and Sony Music Nas hville’s Nate Smith knows firsthand. With a personal journey scarred by di saster\, but defined by revival\, he could have stayed down multiple times through life\, and instead grew into something else entirely: A beacon of country-music hope.
\nFeaturing a mix of gritty backwoods soul\, ro ck ‘n’ roll swagger and velvet-thunder vocals\, Smith is a Nashville artis t with a unique connection to life’s inner tug of war. And with his first batch of major-label music\, he’s aiming to tip the scales once and for al l.
\n“I just feel lucky that I get to be the messenger for these son gs\,” says the rising singer-songwriter. “I’m not here to be cool or anyth ing like that. It’s literally just to hit people in the heart.”
\nOne of Country’s most magnetic young storyt ellers\, Ashley Cooke made her unforgettable debut with 2023’s shot in the dark and soon scored her first Country radio No. 1 with “your plac e” — a GOLD-certified\, Billboard Hot 100-charting hit that later won a 20 24 CMT Music Award for Breakthrough Female Video of the Year. With a voice that carries both tenderness and quiet confidence\, she’s since ga rnered nominations for New Female Artist of the Year at the ACM Awa rds and Best New Country Artist at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. Wh ile building up an acclaimed body of work including 2025’s ace — a nine-song project featuring her Country radio smash “the hell you are” and longtime fan favorite “baby blues” (a No. 1 hit on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Countdown) — Cooke has collaborated with major artists ranging fro m Pop superstar Joe Jonas (“all I forgot”) to Country hitmaker Brantley Gi lbert (“Over When We’re Sober”). Known for her emotionally charged and hig h-energy live show\, she’s also toured with heavy-hitters like Luke Bryan\ , Parker McCollum\, and Kane Brown and recently hit the road as support fo r Jon Pardi’s HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD TOUR. As her profile continues to rise\, Cooke made a cameo appearance in March on CBS’ Marshals (the newly launched spinoff of the blockbuster Western saga Yellowstone)\, ju st before heading overseas for C2C: Country to Country 2026 (including a p erformance at the iconic O2 Arena in London). With her sophomore album due out later this year\, she’s now gearing up to take the stage at leading f estivals like Tortuga Music Festival (4/10 in Fort Lauderdale\, FL) and Ho ofbeat (6/27 in Cadott\, WI).

\nFor over 2 0 years now\, Aaron Watson has traveled the land as country’s ultimate und erdog troubadour – a truly independent artist with the spirit of the Ameri can frontier in his veins\, and a self-made empire to match.
\nWorki ng without corporate backers\, he has nonetheless reached the Top 10 of Bi llboard’s Country Album chart five separate times – an impressive feat by any standard – and that includes his triumphant 2015 set\, The Underdog\, which landed at Number One. Matching sold-out shows across the country wit h homegrown hits\, he’s followed suit at country radio\, making history in 2017 with “Outta Style” and “Run Wild Horses.” But despite the success\, the Texas native remains a fighter punching far above his weight\, constan tly defending his right to be in the ring. And with his new album\, Unwant ed Man\, he reminds all who care to listen that it’s just fine by him.
\nWith its raw vocals and minimal production\, the album’s title track sets Watson’s quest in motion\, kicking off Unwanted Man with a thank you to his supporters. As it swells into a two-stepping romantic romper\, his knack for hiding big themes in personal lyrics shines through … and not fo r the last time.
\nEach track features the inventive songwriting and one-of-a-kind melodies of a true\, untamed artist\, striving to bring a s ingular vision to life\, no matter the cost. And with the working-musician ’s anthem\, “Heck of a Song\,” Watson promises to never stop.
\nLook ing back\, that’s the true theme of Unwanted Man. That at this point in hi s long career\, Watson knows who he is\, and he’s not about change. It mig ht not be an easy road – or even one you can find on a map most of the tim e. But he’s free\, and he knows it.
\n“I’m right where I wanna be\,” Watson says. “No one can put any labels on me. And I tell a lot of younge r artists\, ‘Listen\, there’s enough room at the table for all of us. This is not a sprint. This is a long distance race.’”
