Rita Wilson has enjoyed a long and successful career in show business as an actress (Sleepless In Seattle, Now and Then, Runaway Bride), producer (My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Mamma Mia!), director, and writer, but it wasn’t until 40 years after she made her television debut that she branched out into a new line as a singer. Inspired by her run in Broadway’s Chicago in 2006, she made her recording debut with 2012’s AM/FM, a set of covers. Sticking to a warm, adult contemporary sound, she made her songwriting debut with her eponymous album, released in 2016.  Rita’s new album, Bigger Picture reunites her with producer Fred Mollin (Johnny Mathis, Jimmy Webb, and Kris Kristofferson) and expands on her gifts as a storyteller and vocalist. She has crafted a revelatory set of songs, which allow her to tell stories—including her own—in entirely new ways. GRAMMY® Award-nominated, platinum-certified hitmakerCassadee Pope’s single, “Take You Home,” was released earlier this year and has garnered over 10 million streams. The follow up “One More Red Light,” was released to critical praise just this month. Following her victory on Season 3 of The Voice, her 2013 debut, Frame By Frame, bowed at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Albums Chart and it’s lead single, “Wasting All These Tears” went platinum. In 2016, she teamed with Chris Young for the No. 1 hit “Think Of You,” which garnered a GRAMMY® nod for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Blaine Mitchell is a former contestant and Season 9 finalist from NBC’s The Voice. Now frontman for the band, Love & War, Blaine took a road trip with several friends and bandmates and created a series of live-recorded singles in National Parks around the United States. Those acoustic singles/videos will be released alongside studio singles later this year 2018.  Love & War is a passion project that is heavily influenced by nature and the band’s own personal life experiences. Blaine’s desire for adventure and life on the road shines through in the group’s unique folk/pop road trip sounds. With her beguiling vocals and powerful delivery, Haley Reinhart headlined her first international tour, visiting seven countries across Europe as well as her second solo headlining tour of the U.S. in 2017.  She just released her first single from her upcoming fourth album release. Her previous single “Can’t Help Falling In Love” went Top 20 at Hot AC/AC radio, is certified Platinum status and has over 115 million streams on Spotify and 42 million views on YouTube. Exceptionally versatile singer-songwriter, Maggie Rose has been named to YouTube’s Emerging Artist and Artist in Residence 2018 programs, and Pandora named her an Artist to Watch 2018. Land O’Lakes tapped her for a synchronization deal that lends her voice to a national ad campaign focusing on Women’s Empowerment. Maggie Rose just released her highly anticipated album, Change The Whole Thing, which encompasses a blend of American music melding Rock, Soul, Rhythm and Blues, Country and Gospel. Seth Ennis broke into the Country music format with early nods from SiriusXM naming him one of their “Future Five,” to CMT, Pandora, The Huffington Post, and Rolling Stone Country naming ‘One To Watch.’ The 25-year-old multi-instrumentalist, co-wrote, co-produced and played all parts on his acclaimed debut single, “Woke Up In Nashville.” New Jersey native Patrick Droney spent his formative years touring with the likes of BB King and James Brown, with features in prominent magazines and appearances on national television (People Magazine, Guitar World, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon). His song “High Hope” was featured in ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy.  The independent Kobalt/AWAL artist released his self-titled EP that was produced by Droney and Ian Fitchuck. In its first week of release, the first song from his 2018 EP “Stand and Deliver” logged over 100,000 streams pushing it into the Top 10 on Spotify’s Viral 50 in the US.

With two albums and eight charting singles to their credit, LOCASH broke out in 2015 with their gracious GOLD-certified hit, “I Love This Life,” followed by the flirtatious GOLD-certified #1 smash, “I Know Somebody” – their first trip to the top of the Country radio airplay charts. Now recently signed to BBR Music Group, the duo has a new single, “Feels Like a Party,” currently climbing the charts.” Named “One To Watch” by Billboard, HuffPost, and Rolling Stone, Tegan Marie has catapulted into the national spotlight with performances on ABC’s Good Morning America, NBC’s TODAY and PBS’ Smokey Robinson: The Gershwin Prize, in addition to appearances on the Radio Disney Music Awards (2017-18).  As her videos continue to gain a wide audience (over 200 MILLION views), Tegan Marie has performed at the Grand Ole Opry, Ryman Auditorium, Stagecoach, and CMA Music Fest and shared the stage with artists such as Cam, Hunter Hayes and Kelsea Ballerini while partnering with Pepsi MidAmerica for a tour across the Midwest.  2018 CMT Listen Up andSiriusXM Highway Find Artist, Tyler Rich will join Brett Young’s CMT ON TOUR: HERE TONIGHT this fall following lineups alongside Dustin Lynch, Sam Hunt, Brett Eldredge, Justin Moore, Cole Swindell, and Dan + Shay.

The Colorado native joined country superstar Miranda Lambert on the recent Roadside Bars & Pink Guitars Tour as well as country music’s platinum-selling artist Chris Young on the I’m Comin’ Over Tour. Clare, named “One To Watch” by USA Today, Billboard, The Boston Globe and Rolling Stone, wrote all of the songs on her self-titled EP including fan favorites “Move On,” “Tuxedo” and the emotional “Old Hat” plus, her brand new, tenderhearted single, “More,” playing at radio now. Haley & Michaels has been featured on numerous Spotify playlists, where they’ve amassed more than 20 million in streams and performed twice on The TODAY Show. The duo recently signed with Sony/ATV Publishing and Reviver/Hickory Records/RED Music and are in the studio working on their first full-length studio album. Lucas Hoge recently garnered attention with the release of his new album Dirty South. In its debut week, the record ascended to the No. 1 spot on theBillboard Country Album Sales chart.  Whether he’s performing for troops overseas, sharing his love for the great outdoors with fellow sportsmen at a Bass Pro/Cabela’s gathering or writing another song for a hit TV show, Hoge has that rare ability to find common ground with just about anyone and draw them into his world.
