Solon Holt

Solon Holt is a country and Americana singer-songwriter from Tyler, Texas, known for a soulful sound that blends bluegrass, gospel, and traditional country. As of early 2026, he has garnered over 10 million streams across his independent releases and is signed to major industry partners in Nashville.  Holt has opened for artists like Clint Black and Megan Moroney as well as performed at major festivals like the Tortuga Music Festival and Country Thunder Florida. Solon  is signed to a global publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) Nashville.

Matt Warren

Chart-topping songwriter. Solo artist. Multi-platinum award winner. Soul singer. Matt Warren has played all the parts, building a versatile career that has taken him from the elite writing rooms of Music Row to stages across the country. He turns a new page with Heartbreak Superstar, his first solo release in a dozen years. Inspired by the R&B classics, soul songs, and southern music of his youth, it’s a timeless record for the modern age. Warren’s songwriting is on full display, showcasing the chops that have already earned him a pair of ASCAP Awards, an ACM Song of the Year nomination, and a Number 1 hit on country radio. Heartbreak Superstar is a singer’s record, though, and Warren — who created the EP with co-producers Oscar Charles and Cliff Audretch — delivers each song with a voice that’s every bit as raw, road-worn, and resilient as his own journey. That journey has taken Warren from the top of the Billboard charts — where Gary Allan’s “Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)” made him one of Nashville’s most in-demand songwriters during the 2010s, reaching Number 1 the same year Warren received his self-titled solo debut — to rehab, where he found God and rediscovered himself. Heartbreak Superstar captures the melodies and southern stories that have always fueled his work with renewed clarity. The result is a mix southern soul, Tennessee twang, and Laurel Canyon country-rock, all glued together by a songwriting veteran who’s happy to reclaim his solo artistry.

Everette

Growing up in Shepherdsville Kentucky, frontman Brent Rupard began his musical journey the way many of the greats began – in the church. In a particularly expressive church, he learned to let emotions run wild through the music without reservations. From the church to the rowdy bars of Bowling Green, Kentucky where he moved to go to college at Western Kentucky University, he honed in his ability to play above the noise and capture an audience. As he began to outgrow the club scene of Kentucky, Rupard set his sights on making music a career. Along with musical companion and former member of Everette, Anthony Olympia, the two of them set off for Nashville to make this dream a reality. This is where the band name “Everette” was formed after George Clooney’s character on “Oh Brother Where Art Thou”, a movie frequently watched together. Everette has become more than just a band name. Even though the configuration has changed from duo to now being led by Rupard, the name Everette and the mission to bring people together through music continues. Whether you see Everette on the Grand Ole Opry, in your hometown theater, or gathered around in the backyard, there’s no doubt an Everette show will make you feel something. With a mixture of bluegrass and rock n roll, The Everette sound will surely transport you to the back porch, with good friends, good drinks and good times. Everette’s latest EP, Keys to Kentucky is just the start of this new journey.

Benny G

Benny G (born Ben Goldsmith) is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist originally from Long Island, New York, currently based in Nashville. He is recognized for his “country-soul” sound, which blends traditional country storytelling with soulful melodies and rock-inspired guitar. Currently signed to Sony Music Nashville and Free Flight Records, Benny G gained significant traction on social media, particularly through his TikTok account @bennygsingz. He has performed at major festivals including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza  and Europe’s C2C: Country to Country festival. He released his debut full-length album The World Between My Ears (2023) and follow-up projects like The Start Of Something Beautiful (2024) and the album An Hour or So (2025).

Adam Chaffins

Adam Chaffins, an independent singer/songwriter who is a product of culturally rich eastern Kentucky, has always been about music. He started early in middle school, fronting and playing bass in a band, and followed with scholarship opportunities resulting in a music degree. After a move to Tennessee, he began his Nashville career as an in-demand session musician, alternating that with a life on the road as a member of various bands, including several years with the revolutionary bluegrass band Town Mountain. He has roots buried deep in country music soil, but what the world hears today is Chaffins’ new lane of music, a reflection of him – past and present – weaving together his personal and musical experiences to create a sound and mood that is distinctly unique while being comfortably familiar. The first taste of that will come with his first solo release since 2020, “Little Bit At A Time,” produced with Frank Rogers (Brad Paisley, Scotty McCreery, Darius Rucker)

His 2020 debut album, “Some Things Won’t Last”, features a range from fuzz-toned, drum-driven rockers to ballads laced with symphonic swells. It lays bare the many layers of Adam and his music. Also that year, Chaffins shared singles “Further Away” (Acoustic) and “Now I Don’t Know,” both featured on places such as Spotify’s Indigo playlist. In 2022, Chaffins wrote and performed on streaming smash “Gone As It Gets” with Brit Taylor, Meg McRee and Ben Chapman, which currently sits at over 2.6 million streams on Spotify.

Using his uncanny ability to tap into human emotion, Chaffins transforms the dichotomy of his musical experiences into a melodic, moody mix that highlights his assertive, rich baritone and his command over a band’s energy.

Brandon Ratcliff

Born and raised in Cotton Valley, LA and signed to Monument Records, Brandon Ratcliff burst onto the scene in 2019 with his debut single “Rules of Breaking Up.” After a year of highlights including opening for Kelsea Ballerini, Brett Young, and Keith Urban, being selected as a Pandora Ones to Watch artist, and topping Rolling Stone’s all-genre Breakthrough Artists chart, the world came to a screeching halt in 2020. At a crossroads with his music, and his life, Ratcliff went back home to figure out who he was and what he wanted to say, and write his next project.

Greatly influenced by the music of the Louisiana delta and the bluegrass engrained in his blood from his Grammy Award winning mother, Suzanne Cox of the legendary bluegrass group The Cox Family, Tale of Two Towns is a coming-of-age record that reads like a book of Ratcliff’s life these last few years.  Emerging from the most revolutionary season of his life, he asks the listener to explore with him what it means to leave home and follow your dreams.

Suzanne Cox

Suzanne Cox is  a member of The Cox Family They can be heard on the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, and their 1994 collaboration with Alison Krauss (I Know Who Holds Tomorrow) which won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Southern, Country or Bluegrass Gospel Album. In  recent years, the band has celebrated many opportunities starting with debuting their latest single on the Dailey and Vincent Show and preforming to a sold-out crowd at Nashville, Tennessee’s own famed Station Inn. The single “First Time I Heard About Heaven” entered the charts and remained there for 42 weeks. Where they also held a spot in the top 5 on the

Bryan Simpson

Modern American eclectic singer-songwriter Bryan Simpson is an artist whose sound unnervingly explores an evocative amalgamation of southern folk, bluegrass, classic country and indie eclecticism, with the playful swagger, relatable storytelling, and thoughtful introspection of his heroes which include John Hartford, Tom T Hall, Jeff Tweedy, and of course Bob Dylan.

Bryan’s songs have netted praise from all corners: The Huffington Post wrote “Bryan’s original undertakings are reminiscent of the whimsical and whip-smart work by David Byrne and Jim James”. While SeattlePi claims Simpson’s music echoes “Bowie, and Beck in the melodies, moods, and arrangements. The quest is entertaining and thought-provoking.” His genre-spanning career has included making records and touring as a singer/songwriter with luminaries as diverse as The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, bluegrass giant Ricky Skaggs and Mumford and Sons. Since leaving his hometown of Ft Worth Texas with only a fiddle, guitar, mandolin and a box fan to his name, Simpson has had many of his original songs recorded by country music standouts like Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Hailey Whitters, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Brandy Clark, Old Dominion, Stephen Wilson Jr., with several of them ending up with a number 1 beside their name on the Billboard and Music Row charts . He has also been awarded NSAI’s prestigious award of “10 Songs I wish I’d Written”. His songs have easily totaled over 500 million streams at this point.

This year Simpson released his first record under his own name. “The Oldest”, released in April, is a concise 11 songs in length, produced by Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan/Brandi Carlisle) and takes Simpson’s shade tree kaleidoscopic storytelling center stage. Soulful. Poignant. Vulnerable yet powerful. When Appalachian country crooner Adam Chaffins sings, his voice reels you in and then collectively embraces his audience with ease. His sound is beguiling, reaching into the rich Kentucky corners of Chaffins’ expressive baritone, delivered with refinement and ease. His music defies boundaries – from his mountains back home to the paved canyons of the cities that are now home, the sound crosses genres; the lure crosses humanity.
