Ashley McBryde

GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM award winner Ashley McBryde cut her teeth playing country songs in biker bars – and it shows. The Grand Ole Opry member’s 2018 major label debut, Girl Going Nowhere (Warner Music Nashville) charmed The New York Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, The Washington Post, and more, all en route to landing a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. McBryde closed out 2019 with ACM New Female Artist, CMT Breakout Artist, a New Artist of the Year win at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards, and two nominations for the 2020 GRAMMYs for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance for “Girl Goin’ Nowhere.” Follow-up Never Will was tagged by Rolling Stone as one of the most anticipated of the year, alongside NPR, which also ranked her Top 10 RIAA Platinum-Certified single “One Night Standards” as one of the best songs of 2019. The album earned McBryde a 2021 GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making Never Will the only album nominated for Country Album of the Year by the ACMs, CMAs, and the Recording Academy in the same award season. Her GRAMMY-winning duet with Carly Pearce, “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” went all the way to No. 1 and earned McBryde and Pearce the ACM and CMA award for Musical Event of the Year. McBryde was honored with the 2022 CMA International Artist Achievement Award for the most significant creative growth, development, and promotion of the country music industry outside of the United States. Her collaborative project, Ashley McBryde Presents: Lindeville, earned McBryde her third consecutive GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album, making her a six-time nominee. Her latest album, The Devil I Know, was released to critical acclaim, earning a title as one of the best country albums of the year from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Slate, PASTE, Holler, and more. McBryde offers poetic nostalgia with her latest release, “Ain’t Enough Cowboy Songs,” with Billboard observing, “her voice, as always, rings with an earthy authenticity and earnestness,” while Stereogum asserts, “she’s one of the best we’ve got.” The Arkansas native joins Cody Johnson’s Leather Deluxe Tour through spring 2025 among festival performances at Country Thunder Arizona, Stagecoach, and WE Fest.

The Castellows

Rooted in the red clay of Georgetown, Georgia, The Castellows are a sister trio redefining neo-traditional country music with a fresh Southern soul. Composed of Ellie, Lily, and Powell Balkcom, the group blends blood harmony with back-porch honesty, creating a sound that’s as timeless as it is current. Raised on gospel, bluegrass, and the stories of small-town life, The Castellows found their collective voice in 2022, quickly gaining traction with stripped-down covers and original songs shared across social media. Their natural harmonies and authentic presence drew fans in by the thousands—and caught the attention of Nashville. Whether it's a front-porch singalong or a sold-out stage, The Castellows deliver every note with raw emotion and radiant unity. Their sound is a little old-school, a little new wave, and a whole lot of home.

Anchored by slamming 808s meeting slick steel guitar, Graham Barham’s distinct sonic can be summed up in two words: CLUB COUNTRY. With his roots in Oak Ridge, Louisiana (population: 124), Barham grew up the son of a farmer and a schoolteacher, inspired by country stalwarts like George Strait as much as pop and hip-hop icons such as Justin Bieber. Named an artist to watch by Spotify and Amazon Music, Barham has made waves with his signature wordplay and swaggering musicality. As naturally as he writes and performs fiery country bangers, he pens cuts for fellow rising stars such as Wyatt Flores, Chase Matthew, and Tyler Braden. Signed to Sony Music Nashville and Disruptor Records, Barham’s latest viral hit “OIL MONEY” earned the largest debut of his career and is the title track of his accompanying EP, which features standouts like “WHISKEY WHISKEY,” “LIE TO ME,” and “SHOOT THE LOCK.” With more than 132 million career streams, Barham is burning his own path within the country landscape.
