Scotty McCreery
Scotty McCreery has been a household name for nearly half his life, ever since making history in 2011 as both the first country artist and the youngest male artist of any genre to debut his first studio album, the Platinum-certified Clear as Day, at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. The 31-year-old has sold more than 4 million albums and achieved 6 No.1 hits: the recent “Cab in a Solo,” the RIAA Platinum certified “Damn Strait,” the RIAA Gold certified “You Time,” the RIAA Gold certified “In Between,” the RIAA Platinum certified “This is It,” and the RIAA Triple Platinum certified “Five More Minutes.” His most recent album is Rise & Fall, and his current EP is Scooter & Friends, containing the smash hit “Bottle Rockets” featuring Hootie & The Blowfish.
Corey Kent
Infusing Oklahoma roots with the untamed energy of a rebel rocker, Sony Music Nashville’s Corey Kent has made a career of stretching sonic bounds and standing on conviction. But with new trust in his instincts and the buzz of two career-caliber hits-in-the-making, his third major label country album marks a breakthrough. Authoritatively titled Heartland Rock and Roll, the scrappy singer-songwriter creates a sound so definitive, it needed a new name. Golden-hour nostalgia meets gratitude and grit in a mellow, slow burn of raspy country soul, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. Kent’s rugged single “Rocky Mountain Low (feat. Koe Wetzel)” is climbing radio charts faster than any previous release, while the gusty “Empty Words” escaped its deep-cut fate to become a viral sensation. To the now-seasoned creative force, the word epiphany comes to mind. “I don’t know why it wasn’t more obvious to me sooner,” Kent says. “Like, ‘Dude, your path is not going to look like everybody else’s path, and your decisions aren’t going to look like everybody else’s either.’ I’ve been fighting my differences for so long, but now it’s like, ‘Let’s just use those.’” The lesson didn’t come easy. Rising from the dancehalls and dive bars around his home in Bixby, Oklahoma, Kent describes his early Nashville career as a “dogfight,” battling for every inch of progress. Inspired by Springsteen and CCR as much as Strait or B&D, he was famously forced to move home and work for a paving company in 2020, before returning with an organic hit (and a chip on shoulder) for his 2023 debut, Blacktop. His sophomore album Black Bandana carried that same underdog spirit, and so did a series of hard-won victories. Slowly, methodically, Kent has earned two Number Ones at country radio to date – including the 3X Platinum “Wild As Her” and Gold-certified “This Heart,” which took over a year to reach its 2025 peak. Add that to a Platinum certification for “Something’s Gonna Kill Me” (that one took two years), and Kent now counts over 1 billion career streams and an international fanbase, built on headline tours and support for Morgan Wallen, Jason Aldean, and others. All of it came the hard way, with Kent having to prove the mettle of his unorthodox vision. But he now says there’s “beauty in a slow build.” Drawing on the confidence of experience, and emboldened by a sense of personal peace, he’s spent the last two years weaving Heartland Rock and Roll into a defining body of work. “If you’re an artist, you hope to have that record – the one that when people think about you, they think about that record,” the rising star explains. “When I think about Eric Church, I think about Chief. When I think about Chris Stapleton, I think about Traveller. They’re a stamp in time and they live on their own, and I’ve always hoped to have one. For the first time in my career, I feel like I do.”
Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder
Fifteen-time GRAMMY® Award-winner Ricky Skaggs’ career is easily among the most significant in recent country music history. If Skaggs’ burgeoning trophy case full of awards wasn’t already enough evidence of that fact, consider that legendary guitarist Chet Atkins once credited Skaggs with “single-handedly saving country music.” His life’s path has taken him to various musical genres, from where it all began in bluegrass music, to striking out on new musical journeys, while still leaving his musical roots intact. Born in Cordell, Kentucky, Skaggs showed signs of future stardom at an early age, playing mandolin on stage with bluegrass pioneer Bill Monroe at 6 and appearing on TV with Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs at 7. He emerged as a professional bluegrass musician in 1971, when he and his friend Keith Whitley were invited to join the legendary Ralph Stanley’s band the Clinch Mountain Boys. Skaggs then went on to record and perform with progressive bluegrass acts like the Country Gentlemen and J.D. Crowe & the New South, whose self-titled 1975 Rounder Records debut album was instantly recognized as a landmark bluegrass achievement. He then led Boone Creek, which also featured Dobro ace and fellow New South alumnus Jerry Douglas. But Skaggs turned to the more mainstream country music genre in the late ‘70s when he joined Emmylou Harris’s Hot Band, replacing Rodney Crowell. He became a recording artist in his own right in 1981 when his Epic label debut album Waitin’ for the Sun to Shine topped the country charts and yielded a pair of #1 hits. Overall, his productive stay at Epic Records would result in a total of 12 #1 hits. Additionally, he garnered eight Country Music Association Awards–including the coveted Entertainer of the Year trophy in 1985. Skaggs, of course, fit right in with young “new-traditionalist” ‘80s artists like Randy Travis, and helped rejuvenate the country music genre after the worn-out “Urban Cowboy” period. But, Skaggs put his own stamp on the country format by infusing his bluegrass and traditional country music roots into the contemporary Nashville sound. Skaggs’ 1997 album Bluegrass Rules!, released on his newly-formed Skaggs Family Records label, marked a triumphant return to bluegrass—which he’s solidified ever since with a series of GRAMMY® Award winning albums, recorded with his amazing bluegrass band, Kentucky Thunder (8-time winners of the IBMA ‘Instrumental Group of the Year’). “This group of guys meets my approval every night,” Ricky says. “Each and every one of the pickers in Kentucky Thunder totally amazes me in every show…and that, to me, outweighs any award we could ever win.” The all-star lineup of Kentucky Thunder includes Russ Carson (banjo), Justus Ross (lead guitar), Troy Engle (vocals, multi-instrumentalist), Gavin Kelso (bass), Mike Rogers (tenor vocals, rhythm guitar) and Billy Contreras (fiddle).
