Kinkead Entertainment Takeover Party W/ Alli Walker, Colin Stough, Ryan Waters, and more!

Alli Walker

Nashville-based country singer-songwriter Alli Walker, originally from Prince Edward Island, Canada, is emerging as one of the genre’s most exciting new voices. With nearly one million social media followers and three CCMA Award nominations, Walker blends the storytelling heart of country with the energy of rock and pop, elevated by the unmistakable sound of her signature electric bagpipes. Standout moments include performing her hit “The Whiskey’s Gone” alongside Shania Twain—bagpipes and all—recording the heartfelt duet “First Time Living” with Gretchen Wilson, and making her debut at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium. Now signed to 604 Records in Canada and Huff Co. in the U.S., the label founded by Billboard’s Producer of the Century Dann Huff, Walker continues to forge her own lane in modern country music with a sound that’s unmistakably her own.

Colin Stough

 Born on the Mississippi-Alabama border, Colin Stough was raised on Southern rock and second chances. A self-taught guitarist and gravel-voiced storyteller influenced by The Allman Brothers, Conway Twitty, and Koe Wetzel, he first picked up a guitar at age 8, later trading in his prized possessions for a pawn shop acoustic — one he still plays today. After high school, he worked full-time as an HVAC tech until his mom pushed him to audition for American Idol Season 21. That leap launched a life-changing ride: a standout third-place finish, a deal with 19 Recordings / BMG Nashville, and a breakout debut with songs like “Bad Day” and “I Still Talk to Jesus.”

With a skinned-raw vocal and lyrics carved from lived experience, Stough has built a loyal following of nearly 750k across social platforms. His EPs Promiseland and Lookin’ For Home offer a no-frills portrait of a 20-year-old navigating scars, faith, and fire with Southern grit. He’s opened for acts like Chase Matthew, Drake White, and Kidd G, and is continuing to build his live show through 2025. A student of Skynyrd and the outlaw spirit, Stough isn’t chasing trends with his latest release “White Trash” — he’s telling the underdog’s truth, one song at a time.

Lakelin Lemmings
When you hear Lakelin Lemmings sing for the first time, you can’t help but feel like you’ve been listening to her forever. The 20-year-old singer-songwriter from West Tennessee is utterly approachable, and undeniably herself. She’s the all-American girl next door, with big dreams and the talent to achieve them. Lakelin signed her first Nashville publishing deal at just 17 years old and has since amassed more than 300,000 followers across her social platforms. Connection and communication with her audience is what drives Lakelin’s songwriting. On “American Dreamin’,” her first song released as a signed artist, Lakelin spells out all the things that shaped her: small towns, a supportive family, a dedication to faith and, of course, country music. Lakelin’s subsequent releases from her debut Get Around Boy EP (released in April 2026), “Keep the Faith,” “Parking Lot” and “19 and Single,” have broadened her reach and set her up to release her eponymous project. The self-titled, debut album is available now. She co-wrote all but one of the album’s 16 tracks and recently scored one of the most added songs at country radio with the album’s lead single, “Get Around Boy.”

Ryan Waters

For those that know Country newcomer Ryan Waters, his story is defined by a quintessential Country upbringing, an unequivocal work ethic, and a genuine relatability. After years focused on a career in baseball, Waters found himself disenchanted with the sport and, over time, his sidelined love for music took over. Employing that work ethic to master guitar, vocals, and songwriting, he hopped on the TikTok trend at the advice of his sister after writing streaming hit “Chevrolet You Down” and the move paid off to the tune of over 1 million views, over 6,500 pre-saves, over 9 million streams on Spotify alone. The momentum put Waters in Nashville, where he committed to and immersed himself in his craft. He’s followed “Chevrolet You Down” with a string of streaming successes, including 2021’s “Tomorrow’s Not Tonight,” which has over 10 million Spotify streams, and his cover of “Chasing Cars” (2023) – which has over 7 million streams. Drawing sonic and lyrical inspiration from his experiences living a small town life, Waters is primed to be a major influence in the world of country music.
