 Lauren Mascitti

Millions first discovered Lauren Mascitti during her unforgettable run on American Idol in 2020, but her journey as an artist began long before national television. A musical prodigy, Lauren was writing songs and performing by age 7, and by her teens was already captivating audiences six nights a week in Branson, Missouri alongside gospel legend and original Oak Ridge Boy, Gary McSpadden.

Since moving to Nashville from her hometown of Louisville, OH, Lauren has built an impressive resume sharing stages and writing rooms with icons like Pam Tillis, Matraca Berg, Suzy Bogguss, Delbert McClinton, and Lonestar. She performed with Brad Paisley and Shania Twain in a nationally televised concert honoring healthcare heroes during the pandemic — a nod to her own background as an RN.

Lauren’s heartfelt songwriting and soaring vocals have earned her coveted performances on the legendary Grand Ole Opry stage and opening slots on tour with Lonestar, including their historic first headlining show at the Iconic Ryman Auditorium.

Her breakout album God Made a Woman earned critical acclaim, landing on The New York Times and Saving Country Music’s Best Albums of 2020 lists and climbing to #4 on the iTunes Country chart.

Now, with a brand new project produced by Dean Sams (founding member of Lonestar) on the way, Lauren Mascitti stands poised on the edge of a major breakthrough, bringing her timeless country sound, powerful stories, and undeniable authenticity to fans across the country.

Walker County

In 2014, sisters Ivy and Sophie, then teenagers, signed a major label record deal with Warner Music Nashville as duo Walker County. Fans around the world have followed as their sound and their spirits have evolved over the better part of a decade. From heartbreaks to true loves and county fairs to The Kelly Clarkson Show, the women of Walker County have grown into the future superstars they’ve always been destined to be. Sophie’s hard-driving rhythms on the drumkit and Ivy’s strutting, soulful vocals create a unique blend of country music that was inspired by the sounds of middle America they grew up on. Their blood-thick harmonies and inimitable verve continue to shine underneath maturing lyricism. The CMT Listen Up and Next Women of Country artists are practiced road warriors, opening for the likes of Willie Nelson, Dwight Yoakam, Martina McBride, Old Dominion and more. They’ve already earned millions of streams with fan-favorite tracks such as “Bits & Pieces” and “Drag It Out,” and their first official EP, No Smoke and Mirrors, is out now. It may not be exactly the Walker County you know… but it is the Walker County you love.

Adam Hambrick

It was in the creaky pews of small country churches in Arkansas and Mississippi where Adam Hambrick first found his voice. The son of a pastor, Adam’s early years had faith, family and music in the same way a catfish has muddy water. It was both backdrop and oxygen.

Hambrick first started to dream the dream at 12 when he was given a 1960’s Gibson by his grandfather. He clunked along trying to mimic his heroes (Garth, Alan Jackson, John Mayer, etc) until college when he began to write songs of his own. While at the U. of Central Arkansas, Adam grew a following in the college bars and a thirst for the stage. His first 10-song project found its way to country star Justin Moore, and Justin encouraged Adam to pursue a career writing songs in Nashville.

Since moving to Nashville in 2013, Adam has become a fixture in its songwriting community. He has written #1 songs for Dan and Shay (“How Not To”) and Justin Moore (“Somebody Else Will”) and has had songs recorded by many of Nashville’s brightest stars (Brett Young, Miranda Lambert, Sara Evans, Walker Hayes, Maddie and Tae, Eli Young Band and more)

Adam’s writing successes have earned him his own artist platform. His music has been streamed over 100 million times, including his debut top-40 radio single “Rockin’ All Night Long,” the 2021 EP “The Flipsides” and his latest full length project, “Free Country.” He has performed on The Grand Ole Opry, ABC’s The Bachelorette, The Ryman Auditorium and on revered stages all over the world.
