Hailing from Greenville, South Carolina, Caldwell blends rock, rap, and pop into a sound that’s
as raw and real as his life. Growing up in a diverse community, he was shaped by values of
respect, hard work, and authenticity. Inspired by his parents’ love for hip-hop and rock, Caldwell
began playing drums at five and shifted to songwriting in high school. A pivotal moment came
when he saw a friend making a music video and realized he could do it better.
His influences range from Eminem to Elvis Presley, Bruno Mars, and Morgan Wallen. Caldwell’s
music reflects his Southern roots, fusing rock, hip-hop, and country with a fresh, unapologetic
edge. Though he faced skepticism early on, he embraced his faith, work ethic, and raw talent to
grow from bar gigs to sold-out shows.
Caldwell’s music is about real life—heartbreak, joy, pain, and resilience. He believes that pain
doesn’t define you; it’s how you rise above it that matters. With each step in his career, Caldwell
has refined his sound, message, and purpose, building a deep connection with his audience.
Above all, Caldwell stands for authenticity. His music embodies grit and emotion, while his life is
grounded in family, faith, and football. He encourages others to live their truth, take risks, and
never worry about conforming to others’ expectations

Nashville's most unpredictable hitmaker ERNEST is “The Charmer” (MusicRow): a triple threat talent who "creates a sound all his own” (Pollstar) and one of Music City's defining artist-writers who continues to push and challenge the artistic status quo. The 2X ACM Award nominee (2024), 2X CMA Triple Play Award winner, and 2022 / 2023 Varsity Hitmaker fuses influences ranging from Eminem to George Jones, crafting a twist-heavy verse style that's become his signature, proving its mettle, and earning him eleven No. 1 hits as a songwriter and one No. 1 at country radio himself. The eccentric free spirit just released his highly anticipated full-length sophomore album, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, a set that "maintain(s) Nashville's tethering to its legendary history while wholly embracing the soul of the city's future" (The Tennessean), featuring 26 new songs and collaborations with genre tastemakers Lainey Wilson, Lukas Nelson, Jelly Roll, HARDY, and more. The album has been shortlisted as one of the Best of the Year So Far by Billboard, The Tennessean, and Country Now, following in the footsteps of its critically acclaimed predecessor, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM), and its cleverly- expanded deluxe edition, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM): Two Dozen Roses, which added a baker's dozen of fresh cuts to the bunch. ERNEST headlines this fall on The Legalize Country Music Roadshow before opening arenas for Jelly Roll through the end of the year.

One of the brightest young luminaries in roots music today, Sierra Ferrell brings a dose of beautifully strange magic to everything she touches. Since the arrival of Long Time Coming (her acclaimed debut LP for Rounder Records), the West Virginia-born singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist has earned the Emerging Act of the Year prize at the Americana Honors & Awards, collaborated with the likes of Margo Price and Old Crow Medicine Show, and enchanted audiences all over North America and Europe with her high-spirited and dazzling live performance. On her new album Trail Of Flowers, the Nashville-based artist expands her sound while deepening the urgency of her songs, often revealing a wealth of wisdom within her wildly imaginative storytelling. 

Trail Of Flowers came to life with producers Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton) and Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss, Dwight Yoakam, Gillian Welch) and with such esteemed musicians as Chris Scruggs. In keeping with a musical upbringing that included playing everywhere from truck stops to boxcars to New Orleans street corners, the album journeys from freewheeling bluegrass to heartrending old-time music to fantastically gritty honky-tonk and beyond, endlessly changing shape to accommodate the immense scope of Ferrell’s eccentric musicality. Trail Of Flowers ultimately fulfills her longstanding mission of making music that transcends all barriers of time.
