Featured Artists

Jason Aldean
Multi-Platinum Entertainer Jason Aldean has learned a thing or two about the music he has made over the past 16 years, but as far as he’s come, Aldean always looks back home to Macon, Georgia. Both where he is from and how far he has taken his signature sound is reflected throughout his 10th studio album MACON, GEORGIA. As the expansive release “kicks off his career’s next era” (Tennessean) with 20 new tunes and 10 unheard live tracks showcasing everything he does. Aldean has bolstered 27 Number One Hits, 15 billion streams and has sold more than 20 million albums. Notably, seven of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified PLATINUM or more and he has the most Top 10 songs on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart, more than any other artists, since making his chart debut in 2005.

Elle King
Tanner Elle Schneider, more popular by her stage name Elle King, is an American Singer, Songwriter and actress. Born in Los Angeles, she is the daughter of popular celebrities London King and Rob Schneider. She grew up in Ohio and was inspired to pursue a career in singing after she heard ‘The Donnas,’ an all-girl pop-punk band. Her interest in music also led her to learn several musical instruments such as the guitar and the banjo. Her career began with the release of her debut EP ‘The Elle King EP,’ in which she experimented with various styles of music. The EP was well-received and it effectively launched her career. She eventually released her debut studio album, ‘Love Stuff,’ which reached the 26th position on the US Billboard 200. Her song ‘Ex’s and Oh’s’ was Nominated for two Grammy Awards as well. As an actress, she has acted in a few films such as ‘Wild Cherry,’ where she played a supporting role. She has also appeared in two Documentary films named ‘Legends of La La’ and ‘The Last Playlist,’

Dustin Lynch
“Tullahoma is the town that made me the man I am,” says Dustin Lynch. “So, as a Songwriter now, I can’t help but go back and jump in my boots as a kid or a teenager in high school and write from that frame of mind.” Lynch has already scored Seven #1 Singles, Four Top 5 Albums, Eight GOLD and PLATINUM Certifications and a membership in the Historic Grand Ole Opry. But his current Album, TULLAHOMA, marks a true moment of arrival, a leap from rising star to career artist. TULLAHOMA is Lynch’s most personal and ambitious statement to date, depicting the lives and feelings of small-town America. “There wasn’t an intention to write an album inspired by my hometown,” he explains, “but there was an idea to aim at the character of who that small town boy is and to write an album that that guy would like, that he would want to play in his truck and try to impress his girl with. Every single song had to check all those boxes or we just tossed it out. It was a very small bull’s-eye, but it was fun.”

Since his debut with his 2012 self-titled, #1 Album, and PLATINUM breakout “Cowboys and Angels,” Lynch has, in the words of Billboard, “steadily built one of the most consistent recording careers in Modern Country Music.” He has toured with the likes of Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Brad Paisley and Thomas Rhett. With over 2.22 BILLION total career streams, Lynch has earned industry recognition with Billboard Music Awards, iHeartRadio Music Awards and CMT Music Awards Nominations.
