Bailey Zimmerman

Hailing from Louisville, Illinois, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Bailey Zimmerman is one of Country music’s brightest stars, known for his chart-topping hits and authentic gritty sound. After first gaining traction by posting original songs to social media in 2020, Zimmerman rocketed into the spotlight with the viral success of “Fall in Love,” which made him the fastest debut Country artist to reach No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart in over a decade.

In 2023, Zimmerman released his debut album Religiously. The Album. which arrived as not only the biggest streaming debut for a Country album in history, but also the biggest all-genre streaming debut since 2021. The “comfortably bruising and appealingly bruised” (The New York Times) album also features his fourth consecutive No. 1 single “Where It Ends,” his 4x-Platinum, No. 1 debut single, “Fall In Love,” and its 5x-Platinum follow-up, the six-week No. 1 mega-hit “Rock And A Hard Place.” The album debuted at #3 on the Top Country Albums chart and #7 on the Billboard 200, instantly positioning him as one of the genre’s most impactful new voices.

In 2024, Zimmerman continued to dominate the charts with singles “Holy Smokes,” “Holding On” and “New To Country” all of which made a splash. August of 2025 saw the release of Zimmerman’s Sophomore album Different Night Same Rodeo which includes Country radio’s #1 hit superstar collaboration “Backup Plan” featuring Luke Combs as well as Top 10 and platinum single “Holy Smokes,” in addition to “New To Country,” “Hell or High Water,” “Holding On,” “Comin’ In Cold,” and more.

Zimmerman has earned multiple award nominations, including nods from the Billboard Music Awards, ACM Awards, People’s Choice Country Awards, and CMT Music Awards—cementing his status as one of Country music’s fastest-rising stars. He has ignited television audiences across the country with show-stopping performances on Good Morning America, TODAY, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards, and the 2024 CMT Music Awards and more. Beyond the stage, Zimmerman has drawn widespread acclaim from top-tier media outlets including Forbes, Rolling Stone, Variety, Los Angeles Times, Billboard, American Songwriter, and more.

Hudson Westbrook

Hudson Westbrook is a son of Stephenville, Texas, baptized in Red Dirt and raised on George Strait, Turnpike Troubadours, Parker McCollum, Koe Wetzel, and Tracy Lawrence. After a 2024 splash debut with viral first release “Take It Slow,” Westbrook quickly strung together a series of grassroots hits while enrolled at Texas Tech University, including debut Texas radio single and chart-topper, “Two Way Drive,” and debut single to Country radio, “House Again.” Revitalizing the organic Country he was raised on while refusing to be held down by his roots, Westbrook’s distinct vocal, “traditional Country sounds and timeless songwriting” (Billboard) have become his calling card, fully realized on his 17-track debut album, Texas Forever, out now.

Blake Whiten

Blake Whiten often finds inspiration from his upbringing. Born in Six Mile, South Carolina, where the population hovers below 800 people, the 21-year-old singer-songwriter writes what he knows. His passion for Country music is evident throughout his descriptive storytelling and the Country cover songs he’s shared online. Many of those videos have since gone viral. After his June 2024 cover of Morgan Wallen’s “I Guess” amassed nine million views on TikTok, managers, record labels, and publishers came calling. Within 24 hours, he was on a flight to Music City.

A 2024 cut with Bailey Zimmerman (“Holding On”) also put him on the map as a songwriter. All the while, Whiten’s solo writes continued to pick up steam. His poignant debut single “Breakin’ My Heart” and massive follow-up, “Rollin’ Stone” (31 million+ cumulative streams since its October 2024 release), highlight his prowess as a songwriter. Both tracks, penned alone, are featured on his independently released 2025 debut EP, Six Mile.
