Fiercely rooted in the classics, the girl who left her Kentucky home and high school at 16 to take a job at Dollywood has grown into a woman who embraces the genre’s forward progression and is confident in what she wants to say. Lighting a fire with her debut album EVERY LITTLE THING and the PLATINUM-certified history making title track, Carly has since become “Country’s ‘it’ girl” (ABC Radio), touring alongside Blake Shelton, Rascal Flatts and Luke Bryan. With the most CMA Awards nods for any new artist nominee in 2020, Carly led with New Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Video of the Year and won Musical Event of the Year for her PLATINUM-certified, No. 1 duet with Lee Brice “I Hope You’re Happy Now.” In a year of uncertainty, Carly turned to the comfort of records she’s drawn inspiration from since her childhood dream started to take hold. Like those before who spoke their minds with a little sass and steel guitar – Dolly, The Chicks, Trisha, Reba, Patty Loveless – she leaned on her own intuitions with Top 30-and-rising single “Next Girl,” and a clever new video. Carly explores more of a pivotal year with a seven-song collection called 29 (available now via Big Machine Records), finding creative simpatico with Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne following the unexpected death of her mentor and former producer busbee.  Her catalogue boasts over 1 billion streams, Carly marks a new chapter coming of age. For the latest information and more, visit CarlyPearce.com.

Kelsea Ballerini has consistently made history. With her 2015 debut album, The First Time, she became the only female country artist to hit #1 with the first three consecutive singles from a debut album.

With seven #1 singles, 36 certifications from the RIAA, and over 8.4 billion streams, her catalog boasts a string of essential smashes. Ballerini has garnered five GRAMMY nominations, won two ACM Awards, two CMA Awards, the iHeartRadio Music Awards honor for “Best New Artist,” and received multiple career nominations from the ACMs, AMAs, CMAs, CMTs and People’s Choice Awards. Ballerini was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 2019. Rolling Up the Welcome Mat (2023), along with an accompanying short film written and directed by Ballerini, led to her Saturday Night Live debut, universal acclaim from critics including The New York Times, Variety, Rolling Stone, and the honor of gracing the cover of TIME Magazine. PATTERNS (2024) earned her the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Country Albums Chart and #4 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums. She recently wrapped up her 35-date KELSEA BALLERINI LIVE ON TOUR, performing in arenas across the country. Ballerini earned a 2025 CMA Award nomination for “Female Vocalist of the Year.”

For the past two decades, Silverstein have relentlessly pushed themselves to become the best version of the band for both themselves and their fans. That determination has led the Ontario-based five-piece from their underground roots to becoming one of the most influential bands in their scene, playing two thousand-plus shows all over the globe, and selling over a million records. Now Silverstein are celebrating their 20th anniversary with the release of their 9th, and perhaps strongest album to date: A Beautiful Place To Drown. 

While many bands would take their 20-year anniversary as an opportunity to rest on the laurels of nostalgia, Silverstein (vocalist Shane Told, guitarists Paul Marc Rousseau and Josh Bradford, bassist Billy Hamilton, and drummer Paul Koehler) see the landmark as a time to appreciate how far they’ve come, while also channeling all those years of experience into something new. A Beautiful Place To Drown finds the band deftly balancing their core sound—an intensely dynamic mix of melody and aggression, rooted in the energy of hardcore punk and the unabashed earnestness of emo—with their natural growth as songwriters and evolving inspirations.
