Rolling Stone hailed his musical perspective as “Drinks-in-the-air Nineties Country at an Alabama vs. Auburn tailgate,” and that is just the type of energy fans have come to expect from Riley Green. Raised on the sounds of traditional Country, Bluegrass and Southern Gospel music, the Jacksonville, AL native learned the spirit of songwriting and performing at a young age while spending time with his grandfather, Buford Green, who ran the Golden Saw Music Hall. That stage laid a foundation for the songs Riley would craft in the years to come and values learned from another generation.

He fittingly shares co-writing credits alongside his two grandfathers posthumously on the 2xPLATINUM certified “I Wish Grandpas Never Died,” which People praised “might take him to a whole new stratosphere.” Evident on his debut album Different ‘Round Here (BMLG Records), featuring the PLATINUM-certified hit No. 1 “There Was This Girl,” MusicRow noted his “great Country vocal, honest presentation and true-to-life lyrics.” Riley’s Behind the Bar collection with GOLD-certified “If It Wasn’t For Trucks” and We Out Here: Live followedas winning the 2020 ACM  Awards New Male Artist of the Year Award has “brought Country back to its roots: the blue collar sounds for the working man, by the working man” (Whiskey Riff). His collaboration with Thomas Rhett on “Half Of Me” earned Riley his second No. 1 at Country radio as his latest single “Different ‘Round Here (Ft. Luke Combs),” which is currently climbing through the Top 30 on Country radio. Steadily delivering tracks directly to his eager and loyal following, his sophomore album, Ain’t My Last Rodeo is slated to be released October 13.

Named a CMT “Listen Up Artist,” Riley was also voted as one of the CRS 2020 New Faces and earned Music Row’s Breakout Artist of the Year. Having just served as direct support for Morgan Wallen and completing the Luke Combs World Tour with Lainey Wilson across North America, Riley is currently hitting the road as a headliner. He has previously hit the road with Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Brad Paisley, Jon Pardi and Dierks Bentley.

With 20 No. 1 hits stretching back to 1991, two GRAMMY awards, dozens of ACM and CMA honors and a discography counting more album sales than any duo in history – regardless of genre – Brooks & Dunn’s influence on today’s country has never been in question. Hits like “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” “My Maria” and “Believe” have propelled the duo to more than 30 million albums sold, with the New York Times heralding “together they helped drive the power-country era of the early-to-mid 1990s and continued to benefit from the sea change in the genre they helped initiate right through their most recent albums.” Their original “Merle Haggard meets The Rolling Stones” vibe made them progressive stars in their own right. The duo’s recently released collaboration project REBOOT debuted at No. One on Billboard’s Top Country Albums. The impressive feat marks the first time the duo has topped the album charts since 2009 while simultaneously earning the duo their 10th Billboard 200 Top 10 album, the most of any country duo or group in the chart’s history.  In 2019 the duo was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in the “Modern Era Artist” category.

After playing hundreds of shows a year for more than a decade, Derrick Dove & the Peacekeepers released their first album to critical acclaim in 2018. The self-titled album reached #5 on the iTunes blues charts and had 5 songs chart in the top 100 in 4 different countries! 

Touring non-stop for the past 5 years, through personal struggles, through covid, through highs & lows, they are back with a new album!

 ‘Rough Time,’ was released in October of 2023 & debuted at #2 on the Blues Charts!

“Everybody has a rough time. Everybody has their own struggles, and sometimes it’s just not that easy to get over ‘em. The past few years have been rough. My fathers death, covid, and everything going on in the world right now. I was struggling for a long time and writing this new album helped me get thru it.” ~says Derrick

Rough Time has produced 4 #1 blues singles in 9 countries! The album has also garnered almost 2 million streams since its release in Oct 2023!

Brick Fields have won the hearts of loyal fans all over the world with tunes that are solid like a firm conviction. Brick Fields music is much more than blues, though. The Nashville Blues Society has called the Brick Fields sound “A cleansing of the soul”. They’ve also won folk, songwriting and regional music awards, and have been called “a treasure” and “NWA’s hardest working musical group,” by KUAF’s radio program Ozarks At Large.

Dawn, born and raised in Springdale, AR, is the daughter of Arkansas music legend, guitarist Earl Cate of the Cate Brothers Band. Dawn literally grew up in the business.  Gifted with a soaring voice that can channel and seamlessly meld influences such as Gladys Knight and Mavis Staples, Dawn got her start with regional favorites Earl’s Garage, sharing the stage with her brother, Devin Cate in venues ranging from Tulsa, OK  to Beale Street in Memphis, TN.  Now leading her own namesake band, Dawn continues to bring her powerful soul to the people. 

Funk Factory is a party band that covers a wide spectrum of music including soul, rock ‘n’ roll, jazz, modern pop, and country. Their high-energy lead vocalists have huge vocal ranges and even bigger personalities. They will have everybody, from the youngest to the oldest, on the dance floor all night long!

One of the true leaders of the scene, Steph knows more about Tulsa history and Black Wall Street than any other artist. He often refers to himself as ‘Dick Rowland’ or ‘Dicky Ro’ and says he channels the spirit of Rowland in his rhymes.

 Steph is interested in the alchemy of turning tragedy to triumph, and has consistently done things to ‘reclaim’ or ‘flip’ some of the darker aspects of Tulsa’s past. That theme was a constant thread through his 2019 opus Born on Black Wall Street. For example, in his ‘Upside’ video Steph threw a party on the lawn of the ‘Brady Mansion’ – which was once the home of infamous KKK member and Tulsa business leader Tate Brady.  In 2019, Steph partnered with his childhood friend former NFL running back Felix Jones to create Skyline Star Records and turn the Brady Mansion into the Skyline Mansion.

The impact of Steph Simon on the city of Tulsa extends even beyond the music he makes. Simon, a father of two girls, is currently partnering with a North Tulsa school to create and implement a new hip-hop education program. Steph is also the creator of World Culture Music Fest, Oklahoma’s largest hip-hop festival and conference. Steph plans to release multiple new projects and music videos in 2020.

 Steph Simon is a dope AF hip-hop artist whose music is as authentic as his chilled, happy-go-lucky personality. 

His musical taste, coupled with his lyrical artistry, is smooth and cultivates a sound that’s uniquely Black Wall Street. This means his rhymes don’t sound like the dirty south rap, East Coast, or West Coast. Nor does Simon’s rap sound like the Midwest. Simon sounds like Simon. Or, I guess we could say, Steph Simon, sounds like Greenwood, Archer, and Pine.

With the rich, bluesy vocals of Darius Rucker and gleeful harmonies of guitarist Mark Bryan, bassist Dean Felber and drummer Jim “Soni” Sonefeld, Hootie & the Blowfish have sold over 25 million records worldwide to date after their infectious melodies hit the airwaves in 1994. The quartet met at the University of South Carolina where endless gigs at frat houses and local bars built a major local buzz. Their blend of pop, folk, blues, soul and rock made them hard to pigeonhole, but easily accessible to anyone who loved good music. 

Atlantic Records, impressed by their regional draw, signed them and released Cracked Rear View in 1994. The album had been out for six months before the band played on the Late Show with David Letterman which sent sales skyrocketing, eventually landing at No. 1 on the Billboard chart the following spring. Cracked Rear View and the band went on to win two Grammy Awards®, an MTV Video Music Award, a Billboard Music Award and multiple People’s Choice Awards. Cracked Rear View also earned the band Billboard‘s Band of the Year Award in 1996 and the RIAA’s Diamond® Award for sales in excess of 10 million units. At 21x Platinum®, Cracked Rear View remains among the Top 10 best-selling studio albums in music history. 

The band remained a top draw nationwide following their debut and released five more albums for Atlantic: Fairweather Johnson, Musical Chairs, Scattered, Smothered & Covered, Hootie & the Blowfish and The Best of Hootie & the Blowfish, as well as Looking For Lucky on their own Sneaky Long Records and LIVE in Charleston, The Homegrown Concert Event DVD and CD. The band took a break from full-time touring in 2007, reuniting annually for a variety of philanthropic events while also pursuing solo projects. 2019 marked the band’s first full-time touring year in over a decade as they embarked on the sold-out Group Therapy Tour in support of Imperfect Circle, released in late 2019 under a new record deal with Universal Music Group’s Capitol Nashville, and 2024 will see them return to the road once again for the upcoming Summer Camp with Trucks Tour.

His official solo debut, Flicker, was released in 2017 and topped the charts in the U.S. and his native Ireland. 2020’s sophomore set, the breakup-focused Heartbreak Weather, added another hit (the rollicking “Nice to Meet Ya”) to his roster. In 2023, Horan released his third LP, The Show.
