JAMES LANN : Outrun The Rain

Many singers both in Nashville and Texas wear cowboy hats, but George Strait and JAMES LANN are two of the very, very few country stars who are genuine cowboys. James Lann grew up in the isolation of Arizona and New Mexico, lulled by country classics. James Lann isn't just another name in country music. He's a living testament to what's possible when raw talent meets pure grit. He made his big break opening for icons like Chris Ledoux and Clint Black. From there, he was unstoppable. His influence extends far beyond the United States, with performances in many countries. He shared the stage featuring Texas legends and national artists, leaving an indelible mark on the country music scene. There’s a storm moving in. Black as night, riding on the wind....So begins James Lann's new song called “Outrun The Run.” www.jameslann.com

DASHA : Austin

Rising country singer DASHA ignites the airwaves with “Austin.” Previously unknown, the California born and raised singer wants to make the most of her moment. In fact, she says she sensed this song was special just by listening to the demo. At 24, she declares that she wants to revive the culture of line dancing and step dancing for her generation. While Dasha is having an undeniable moment, maintaining it is her next challenge. She says she wants to "go to the moon" with her music and dreams of performing on Saturday Night Live or The Kelly Clarkson Show. Along with the popular catchy tune, a corresponding line dance has now become a social media trend and the moves were choreographed by Dasha and her manager. She will come to Europe for a few dates in August: Sweden, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, England and The Netherlands. www.itsdachabitch.com

JENNI DALE LORD ft BILLIE JO JONES

Jenni dale Lord's favorite singer growing up was Reba McEntire. She knew every note and every word by heart. "Does He Love You" was the first time Jenny had ever heard a girl-girl duet, and the concept was incredible to her. Ever since, she knew one day she wanted to write a song that would give her a chance to have her own all female duet. JENNI DALE LORD and BILLIE JO JONES take their contrasting voices and blend them beautifully in this light-hearted waltzing duet. www.jennidalelord.com

SCOTTY McCREERY : Fall of Summer

Many artists are arriving in Nashville with strong country roots and a desire to showcase them in new, original songs. Then a manager or label hooks them up with a hot producer, they end up with hit songwriters, and since they want to please everyone with money-making radio singles, they fall headfirst into the Music Row system. And then, they barely recognize themselves. This is the moment for artists like SCOTTY McCREERY to step up and take advantage of the music opening up and sounding more country. For some, they need to understand how their songs and voices fit into this new paradigm. But for McCreery, this is the moment he's been waiting for his entire career. He doesn't just sing the Legends, he sounds like them. “Fall of Summer” is taken from his latest album “Rise and Fall.” www.scottymccreery.com

JACK NELSON : Fog

In the midst of a winter storm mirroring the one that currently grips us, let's rewind to January 2017. JACK NELSON, fueled by the inspiration drawn from the relentless elements, rallied his band for a journey to Music Fest in Steamboat Springs, CO to kick off a winter tour through the mountains. Little did they know, it would unfold as one of the most formidable tours they'd ever endure. Picture this: a shattered rear axle, causing their rig to jackknife perilously on a mountain pass just south of Jackson Hole, WY. A harrowing wait amidst a white-out blizzard with temperatures plummeting to -60°F as they sought refuge at an abandoned fuel station in Eastern Montana. To add emotional frostbite, a text in North Dakota delivered the news that a long-time girlfriend had reached her breaking point, no longer willing to wait for their nomadic lifestyle. It was a tour that echoed with the chilling resonance of hardship and heartbreak. Cold, hard and cool-hearted. It was all a "FOG". www.jacknelsonband.com
