Joe Nichols

Multi-Platinum Quartz Hill Records artist Joe Nichols is one of country music’s most-lauded recording stars. Ranked by Billboard among the Top Country Artists of the 21st Century, Nichols is a modern traditionalist who is both timely and timeless—with over three BILLION cumulative audio streams and nine MILLION RIAA-certified units sold in the U.S. alone, a half-dozen No. 1 singles, ten Top 10 hits and a sound that blurs the boundaries between country music’s past and present. It’s an approach that has earned Nichols three GRAMMY nominations, a CMA award, an ACM trophy, an Emmy award and a CMT “Breakthrough Video of the Year” award as well as multiple Gold- and Platinum-certified records. Nichols’ honors include awards from Billboard, MusicRow Magazine, and a New York Times “Best Albums of the Year” nod. The celebrated star has appeared on national media programs ranging from ACM Presents: Superstar Duets in CBS primetime to The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The View, Entertainment Tonight and Austin City Limits. He also made his big-screen debut in the feature film Murder at Yellowstone City. Nichols’ new single, the tongue-and-cheek kiss-off anthem, “Say La V™” was the No. 1 Most Added Song at U.S. Country Radio out of the box, earning Nichols the biggest impact date of his storied career! “Say La V™” is available now!

Stevie Woodward

Originally from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Stevie Woodward wrote her first song at age five and began playing solo gigs all over her home state at 14. A self-described rock ‘n’ roll girl, she is also a classically trained violinist (as well as an accomplished guitarist, pianist, harmonica, and ukulele player). Woodward, former lead singer of the ACM-nominated country trio Runaway June, studied songwriting and music business at

Middle Tennessee State University before embarking on her career in Nashville.

Ben Gallaher 

Ben Gallaher clocks back in with more melody-driven country music and heartland rock on his arena-ready new album, Time, scheduled for release on Sept. 26 and available now for pre-save. Produced by Neil and Patrick Thrasher, Time is the latest release from a self-taught, modern-day guitar hero who hit the highway as a teenager, kickstarting an acclaimed career that has since taken the songwriter from small-town Pennsylvania – where he grew up listening to ’90s acts like Brooks & Dunn, Tim McGraw and BlackHawk – to stages across the country, opening for Blake Shelton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams Jr, Lee Brice and more. The road eventually led Gallaher to Nashville, where he established himself as a triple threat – a singer, songwriter and head-turning lead guitarist. In a town full of guitar slingers, Gallaher immediately stood out, playing riffs and solos every bit as melodic as his songs. Lauded as “a promising young songwriter” by American Songwriter and by CMT for his “authentic artistry,” Gallaher’s “Stomp” guitar riff quickly became a viral sensation, generating over 36 million organic social views and earning the rising star more than 400,000 social media followers.

Gallaher has been named one of Taste of Country’s “RISERS: 2026 Artists to Watch,” a Country Now “Country Next” artist and critically-lauded by outlets including American Songwriter, Billboard, Country Line, Holler, People, Rolling Stone, Wide Open Country and more.

Lekelin  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.”

Matt Cooper 

Quartz Hill Records’ Matt Cooper is a genre-blending country artist whose fresh, compelling sound also features elements of Americana, roots-pop and faith-based music. A native of Jacksonville, Florida, Cooper’s multifaceted talent has taken him on a remarkable journey from sports and acting to the Nashville music scene. First inspired by his mom’s piano playing, he later transitioned to guitar and began writing songs as a college freshman, influenced by contemporary singer-songwriters like Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and Thomas Rhett. Cooper first achieved success as an independent artist with his solo-written, breakout hit “Ain’t Met Us Yet,” which debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes All Genre Singles Chart.

Now signed to Quartz Hill Records, Cooper has amassed more than 1.7 million social media followers and over 234 million views on TikTok alone.  Cooper has shared the stage with Jelly Roll, Chris Janson, Parmalee, Kameron Marlowe and more.

Spencer Hatcher 

Stone Country Records’ Spencer Hatcher is a bluegrass-influenced country artist who was raised on a farm in the heartland of Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. By the age of 11, he was already playing his five-string banjo in his family’s bluegrass band. In 2020, Hatcher formed his own country band, backed by younger brother Connor Hatcher, a bass prodigy and “blood harmony” supporting vocalist.  

Dubbed the “String King” by his hometown newspaper and quickly developing a reputation across Virginia and neighboring states as an exciting live performer, Hatcher self-booked and played more than 150 shows a year in both 2023 and 2024, often setting venue attendance records. 

Hatcher has built a strong fan base, including nearly one million social media followers. On TikTok alone, the rising star has amassed over 71 million organic views and 8.9 million likes. This led to a high-profile partnership with PepsiCo, with Hatcher co-writing and performing a bluegrass jingle for a nationwide commercial for Mountain Dew Major Melon. 

Hatcher’s debut EP, Honky Tonk Hideaway, features his steamy debut single, “When She Calls Me Cowboy,” which was a Top 10 Most Added Song at U.S. Country Radio (Mediabase) out-of-the-box. The single’s official music video has reached No. 1 on Taste of Country’s fan-voted “Top 10 Video Countdown.” Saving Country Music has lauded the rising star as “one of the most promising up-and-coming voices in traditional country music.”

2 Lane Summer

Joe Hanson and Chris Ray may have taken different roads to Nashville—Joe migrating south from Illinois and Chris heading north from Mississippi—but when they started crossing paths in Music Row writing rooms, the fast friends soon realized how much they had in common. Both were multi-instrumentalists who’d grown up singing in church and with a musical DNA that also incorporated country and soulful pop. When Joe and Chris began to harmonize vocally, the power, precision and emotional impact of that blend quickly revealed that these two men were born to sing together. Converging as 2 Lane Summer, the duo had already built a strong fan base on social media before signing with Quartz Hill Records. 2 Lane Summer’s debut album, Flawless—a feel-good collection of uplifting songs celebrating the healing power of romantic, brotherly and Godly love—is available now.

Gabe Walsh

Raised in the small town of Blue Rapids, Kansas, Gabe Walsh is a Nashville-based country artist and songwriter whose music is shaped by honest stories, enduring values and the people and places that make us who we are. Blending timeless country influences with a modern edge, Gabe brings warmth, personality and a strong sense of home to every song

Gabe’s single, “Goodyears,” quickly put him on the radar in Nashville. Inspired by childhood Sundays spent watching NASCAR with his father, the nostalgic song helped open the door to publishing and recording deals with North Chapel Music. The release also earned support from NASCAR Cup Series driver Tyler Reddick and the 23XI Racing organization, introducing Gabe’s music to audiences both inside and beyond country music.

Now entering a new chapter alongside legendary music executive Benny Brown and an award-winning team, Gabe is building on that early momentum with more music on the horizon. With a gift for memorable melodies and stories that connect, he is establishing himself as a promising new voice in country music.

Nathan Woodard

Nathan’s impressive resume showcases his talent and dedication to creating uplifting and impactful music. Having over 60 songs recorded, his collaborations with well-known artists and his recognition as a Grammy-nominated songwriter highlight his skill and creativity in the industry.
