Zach Bryan recently called Chasen Wayne, “The only fuck’n legend left in Texas.” Willie might have something to say about that.
Of course that’s hyperbole, but listening to Chasen’s new album Strange Places, you kind of understand what Zach was getting at.
Wayne is also the guy who books Austin’s Honky Tonk SAGEBRUSHalong with slinging out authentic honky tonk tunes like “No Stranger” when he can.

Raised on a chicken and cattle farm in Carrollton, Georgia, Noah Hicks grew up with the kind of small-town values you can’t fake — hard work, humility, and a deep love for country music. Whether he was behind the wheel of a tractor or riding around his hometown with buddies, Noah’s soundtrack was always country radio. One night, his buddy pulled him onstage to sing a Luke Combs cover, and when he heard the crowd sing back every word, he knew this was it.
Since moving to Nashville and signing with Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment (Big Machine Label Group), Noah has emerged as one of country’s most electric new voices. With over 100 million global streams, he's collaborated with artists like Justin Moore, Rhett Akins, Ashley Cooke, Jon Langston, and Travis Denning, and earned breakout success with songs like “I Can Tell You’re Small Town” (trending with 29K+ TikTok videos), “Dirt Roads Dirt”, and “Small Town Does” (his highest streaming debut yet).
Live, Hicks brings stadium-level energy to every room — whether it’s a 500-cap club or a festival stage. He’s opened for HARDY, Ernest, Justin Moore, Parker McCollum, and more, and performed at major events including CMA Fest and Tortuga. His music is high-octane, yet rooted in that same small-town lifestyle he grew up on.

With a style that’s defined by melodic grit and a craftsman’s approach to songwriting, John Morgan brings a blue-collar toughness to country that’s pulled straight from the only life he knows. Hailing from a tiny town called Sylva, deep in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, John grew up immersed in bluegrass tradition and even toured the festival circuit each summer in a family band, before diving into songwriting, inspired by six-string legends from Tony Rice to John Mayer. Now, “a Music City songwriting star” (Tennessean), he has earned cuts with Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Thomas Rhett and an outstanding 16 for Jason Aldean, including the superstar’s #1 songs - “Trouble With A Heartbreak” and the GRAMMY® nominated, ACM Single of the Year “If I Didn’t Love You” with Carrie Underwood, along with Aldean’s latest single at country radio “Whiskey Drink” currently climbing the charts. Praised by People as an “accomplished songwriter,” Aldean signed the sought-after, powerhouse artist “with guitar skills that will knock your cowboy boots off"" (Nash News) to Night Train Records, his imprint with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Having made his Grand Ole Opry debut and logging hours on the road opening for Aldean, ERNEST, Riley Green Nate Smith and Jameson Rodgers, his party starter smash “Friends Like That” - featuring Jason Aldean - is currently surging into the Top 10 at country radio. With the Tennessean praising the “live concert favorite whose banjo and steel underpinnings still allow room for a hard-rocking core,” John's breakout radio single has Billboard applauding, “Broken hearts aren’t typically pleasurable, although the breezy melody and pulsing guitars on ‘Friends Like That’ make loneliness sound attractive.” Giving fans a taste of new music with the jaunty “Crickets,” confident “I Know Better” and heartrendingly smooth “Long Ride Home,” John Morgan’s highly anticipated debut album, Carolina Blue, drops April 25.

Kolton Moore & The Clever Few's steady rise from Texas' best-kept secret to national headliner status didn't come easy. For years, the band played 250 shows annually, sharpening their mix of American rock & roll, blue-collar storytelling, and Texas-sized country hooks. That sound — raw, real, and rooted in the shared instincts of four longtime friends — reaches a new peak with their sixth album, A Place That I Call Home, out September 26. Tracked in Memphis with Grammy-winning producer Matt Ross-Spang, it's the sound of a veteran band reflecting on the long path that's brought them from past to present, from wild teenage nights to mental health journeys to the joys of fatherhood. They veer between amplified arrangements and scaled-back simplicity, showcasing the versatility that's earned the band high-profile placements on shows like Yellowstone and American Idol. With A Place That I Call Home, Kolton Moore & The Clever Few don't just stake their claim as road-running lifers, joining the ranks of grassroots heroes like Lucero and Drive-By Truckers. They also plant their flag in the sand, building their home on the borderlines of sharp songwriting and a sound of their own making.

Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, The Jack Wharff Band play a strikingly unique blend of bluegrass, Country and rock. Known for their electric live performances, masterful instrumentation, and their ability to make music that consistently defies the confines of genre, the young band burst onto the scene last year with snippets of jaw-dropping original songs posted to TikTok and Reels. Composed of vocalist/frontman Jack Wharff, drummer Garrett Howell, bassist Ryan Atchison and guitarist Evan Novoa, the salt of the earth four-piece has quickly captivated audiences with their infectious energy and unrelenting passion for the craft.
The band has taken everything that has come their way in stride – viral videos of their original songs, a record deal with Big Machine Records, a move to Music City and more – earning a loyal following along the way. With an unparalleled ability to command an audience with vibrant stage presence far beyond their years and toe-tapping anthems that beg to be sung along to, it’s clear that this is just the beginning for The Jack Wharff Band. This fall, they are touring on select dates of Ole 60’s U.S. Tour 2025 and Max McNown’sForever Ain’t Long Enough Tour. Early next year, the band will hit the road once again, opening on select dates of 49 Winchester’s 2026 Spring Tour.

Born and raised in the tiny town of Canton, SD (pop. 3054), Tyler Halverson isn't just any cowboy. He's got the hat and the boots, but he also plays a mean guitar and writes an even meaner tune. He has no problem bouncing around the country chasing adventure (or a girl), and is telling his different kind of cowboy tale with his self-described "Amerijuana Music." Halverson's original approach caught fre with a string of independent releases including "Beer Garden Baby," “Mac Miller," and "Your Bar Now” (with Kylie Frey), amassing tens of millions of streams. With his two Western Amerijuana EPs out via Atlantic Records in 2024, Tyler is eager to take the next step on what has already proven to be an amazing journey “I'm finding myself," says Halverson. "I feel like I'm an artist and I'm finally about to do something."

Canaan Cox is the definition of a triple threat - artist, actor and dancer. His music is a fusion of contemporary country, pop and a hint of rhythm and blues, which is no surprise as he grew up in a musical household. Originally from North Carolina, his father blasted Conway Twitty records while his mother toured the southeast with her band, and his seven sisters ensured he had a healthy dose of pop music. Cox went on to earn his BFA in Musical Theatre from Catawba College which allows him a unique musical perspective that influences everything he does today, from writing original music to his performance during live shows. Cox moved to Nashville in the fall of 2016, and began playing the downtown bars on Broadway.
During a chance encounter in 2021, Cox met radio and television personality Bobby Bones, who loved his hustle and invited Cox to appear on his show, reaching over 9.2 million listeners. His last single “As You Leave” (January 2022) received critical acclaim with marquee playlisting on Spotify including New Boots, Wild Country, Breakout Country, Next from Nashville, Apple’s New in Country, and was highlighted in Amazon’s Breakthrough Country playlist.
Following the outpouring of support he received on the Bobby Bones Show, his song was spotlighted on the Country Top 30. This momentum led Cox to a phenomenal year of streaming, seeing incredible 10x growth in 2022. His latest project “End Up In A Song” highlights his craft as a songwriter and sounds that blends his unique styles of music. In addition, Cox is currently touring internationally through the US and UK touring his album Let It Run
