Carly Pearce has become one of country music's most authentic and defining voices. Fiercely rooted in the genre's traditions while embracing its evolution, the Kentucky native left home and high school at age 16 to perform at Dollywood before emerging as a GRAMMY-winning singer-songwriter. She broke through with her debut album, Every Little Thing, and its PLATINUM-certified, history-making title track, launching a career that has since earned her induction into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and membership in the Grand Ole Opry, where she has performed more than 100 times. Pearce's critically acclaimed third studio album, 29: Written In Stone, chronicled personal heartbreak and produced the chart-topping duet "Never Wanted To Be That Girl" with Ashley McBryde as well as the 2x PLATINUM-certified hit "What He Didn't Do." Her continued success led to honors including CMA Female Vocalist of the Year in 2021 and ACM Female Artist of the Year in 2022. In 2024, she released the acclaimed album hummingbird, featuring the PLATINUM-certified single "we don't fight anymore" with Chris Stapleton, which earned Pearce her second GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance and became her fifth Top 5 Country Radio hit. Building on a catalogue of fan favorites, Pearce reached new touring heights in 2026, performing her largest shows to date and expanding her global presence through her Inside the Dream Tour, which included appearances at CMC Rocks, performances across Ireland and the UK, and a headlining show at Royal Albert Hall. With her highly anticipated fifth studio album on the horizon, Pearce continues to captivate audiences through candid songwriting and timeless musicality. Recent releases including "Dream Come True," "Church Girl," and "You Can Have Him" have resonated deeply with fans and critics alike, while her latest duet, "If I Don't Leave I'm Gonna Stay," with Riley Green has generated widespread buzz following its premiere by iHeartRadio, viral success across social media, and the release of its steamy, fan-favorite music video.

Sony Music Nashville artist Zach John King is pushing country in a brand new (yet-strangely-familiar) direction–straight toward the truth, no matter where it leads.Raised in Fayetteville, Georgia and a lyricist first (with multiple generations of poetsinthe family), the rising star grew up old school but dreaming of escape. A fan ofeverything from George Jones and Otis Redding to The Police and Third Eye Blind, Kingfronted an indie-rock band through college before moving to Nashville in 2021. The pastyear and a half have been a whirlwind for King, as the rising star released a new EP lastspring, Slow Down, and joined the lineup for Morgan Wallen's "I'm The Problem Tour"as an opener last summer. In 2026, King will hit the road with Morgan Wallen onceagain along with Riley Green, Jon Pardi, Brooks & Dunn and more. With new music outnow, a new chapter begins, and there's much more on tap. King will keep exploring theraw, rootsy borderlands where country and rock collide, wielding electric guitars,asmoky vocal edge and little else.

A fearless storyteller with an unshakable sense of self, Alana Springsteen has built her career on telling the truth, no matter how messy or hard-fought. Across high-concept projects like her three-part debut album TWENTY SOMETHING and her highly anticipated sophomore LP I HOPE THIS HELPS—a boldly autobiographical body of work due out May 29—the 25-year-old artist-songwriter has carved out a vital space for raw catharsis and unfiltered reflection. A multi-instrumentalist with an uncompromising vision, Springsteen plays guitar and piano throughout her albums and co-produces all her material, shaping each song with hands-on precision that underscores her identity as both author and architect. Rooted in country but unbound by its edges, she pulls freely from alt-pop and beyond, building a sonic world as expansive as it is emotionally exacting. Born and raised in Pungo, Virginia—a one-of-a-kind region where farmland meets beach—Springsteen’s connection to music began in church, where she first found her voice as a child. By age seven, she was teaching herself guitar and writing her own songs; at ten, she began traveling to Nashville for co-writing sessions with industry heavyweights. After making her landmark debut with TWENTY SOMETHING—a 2023 release featuring her GOLD-certified smash “goodbye looks good on you (feat. Mitchell Tenpenny)”—Springsteen earned massive praise from outlets like NPR and PEOPLE. A powerhouse live performer who commands rooms of any size, she has headlined her own TWENTY SOMETHING TOUR; performed at major festivals like Stagecoach Festival; toured internationally across Europe, the U.K., and Australia; and supported superstars like Luke Bryan, LANY, Keith Urban, and NEEDTOBREATHE. With countless milestones to her name—including her Tiny Desk debut in 2024 and a No. 1 hit with “Hot Honey,” a collaboration with multi-platinum DJ/producer Tiësto—Springsteen’s momentum is undeniable.

Giovannie and The Hired Guns have built a devoted following by blending alt-metal, Red Dirt country, Latin influences, Americana, and rock into a genre-defying sound that has taken them from Texas honky-tonks to major festivals and arenas nationwide. Since forming in 2015, the band has achieved major milestones, including a No. 1 hit with "Ramon Ayala" and the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Award for Best New Artist in Alternative & Rock. Their fourth album, Quitter, is their most personal release yet, exploring themes of addiction, loss, mental health, self-doubt, and hope through emotionally honest songwriting and powerful performances. Produced by Johnny K, the album balances hard-hitting rock anthems with melodic, genre-crossing tracks that showcase the band's musical versatility and fearless creativity. Frontman Giovannie Yanez drew from deeply personal experiences, using the album as both a form of healing and a message of resilience for listeners facing their own struggles. Despite its heavier themes, Quitter also captures the band's energetic, party-driven spirit and commitment to creating music that is both fun and meaningful. Through their authentic storytelling and electrifying live performances, Giovannie and The Hired Guns continue to connect with fans from all backgrounds while refusing to be defined by any single genre.

Wielding a broken-glass vocal on self-penned songs that cut straight to the bone, Enchntmnt / Warner Records singer-songwriter Blake Whiten is a 21-year-old instinctive songsmith raised in Six Mile, South Carolina, whose talent launched him from bedroom videos to the biggest stages in the world. Revealed as a generational diamond in the rough, raw emotion and heavy-hearted lyrics have earned Whiten over 150 million global streams in two years since his first public performance, with more to come. Growing up on everything from Keith Whitley to Nickelback, Whiten learned guitar at seven and was penning angsty tunes by 15. After discovering the depths of his raspy vocal, a cover of Morgan Wallen’s “I’m the Problem” racked up 9 million views and sent him down a new path. His solo-written 2024 single “Rollin’ Stone” amassed over 120 million streams and his co-write on Bailey Zimmerman’s “Holding On” broke the Top 40 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. The self-penned 2025 EP debut Six Mile captured his essence, while SiriusXM, Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, Country Now, Holler and All Country News have lined up in support. After headlining his Rollin’ Stone Tour and making his Grand Ole Opry debut in early 2026, Whiten’s first album Something to Say, features 12 co-written songs, as his confessional instincts collide with pitch-black alt-rock intensity. Currently on Bailey Zimmerman’s Different Night Same Rodeo Tour, he’ll take the stage in stadiums this summer for Wallen’s Still the Problem Tour 2026.

Armed with a pen like a nerve ending and the warm metallic buzz of a rip-saw vocal, River House Artists / Warner Records Nashville’s Austin Snell is a rising country renegade whose work presents anguish and ecstasy in harrowing high definition. A 28-year-old, Georgia-born veteran of the U.S. Air Force, Snell’s musical education was formed on a bedrock of artists ranging from Nickelback to Three Doors Down, Alan Jackson to Keith Whitley. Weaving country, rock, and hip-hop influences into an addictive catalog of his own originals, the emerging hitmaker boasts nearly half a billion global career streams and an exponentially growing fanbase, a series of skyrocketing digital hits and a debut album to his credit. Cutting through the noise with a series of deeply personal, self-penned songs that caught fire online during the COVID-19 pandemic, Snell’s signature features heavily distorted guitars, thundering drums, x-ray-like transparency in his songcraft and a wounded vocal at the end of its rope. Dropping his full-length album debut Still Bleeding in 2024 and 2025 EP Home Sweet Hell, Snell unveiled sets of songs filled with inner conflict amidst a cycle of blackouts, breakdowns, and redemption — classic themes wrapped in new-school sonics. A SiriusXM Highway Find and the network’s first-ever Artist Accelerator Program selection, Snell has toured with Jason Aldean, Brantley Gilbert, Warren Zeiders, Kolby Cooper, and more. His headlining Home Sweet Hell Tour is running now, and his next EP, Colors, is out May 1.

Fresh off a breakout year that has taken him from regional Queensland to the global country stage, Mack Geiger is returning to North America for his biggest headline tour to date.

The Australian-born singer has quickly become one of the most exciting country exports, following a career-defining debut US tour where he sold out three of five headline shows and performed at some of America’s most iconic country venues, including Cain’s Ballroom, Billy Bob’s Texas, and Gruene Hall. The momentum continued with Mack’s Grand Ole Opry debut, marking a major milestone in his rapidly rising career.

His breakthrough single “String By” has cemented Mack as a global country artist, climbing into the Top 30 on Spotify’s Viral 50 USA, the Top 50 on the Billboard Hot Country Chart, the Top 40 on the Global Country Shazam Chart, and becoming his first official US country radio single. The track continues to build momentum, as his first ever single to country radio, it is currently sitting inside the Top 60 of the Billboard Country Radio Charts.

Following the release of his latest single “Pouring”, Mack is heading back to North America for the When It’s Pouring 2026 Tour - his biggest international headline run yet. The tour will see Mack bring his signature blend of neo-traditional country storytelling, Australian roots, and modern energy to fans across North America.

After she began writing songs at 16, Carter Faith followed the path of many aspiring young country musicians before her and left North Carolina behind for Nashville. In just a few years, Faith had caught the attention of seasoned professionals and industry tastemakers alike, soon accumulating hundreds of millions of global streams with just a pair of EPs and a series of singles. Her early career was a whirlwind of high-profile collaborations and tours with the likes of Little Big Town, Shaboozey, Ella Langley, Keith Urban, Willie Nelson, and many more, plus accolades like features on All Country News’ Artists to Watch list for 2025 and CMT’s Next Women of Country campaign. Billboard has lauded Faith’s vocals for “exuding fragility with a smoky resonance,” while The Tennessean has praised Faith’s embodiment of “the center square of the puzzle that country, folk and rock synergy has timelessly inspired.” 



After signing with MCA and Universal Music Publishing Group, Faith began recording her long-awaited debut album Cherry Valley. The result of years writing with mentor and producer Tofer Brown, Cherry Valley looks back to some of Faith’s formative influences — Tammy Wynette, Nancy Sinatra, iconic ‘60s classic rock albums like Pet Sounds and Revolver — to realize the “cowgirl hippie and sometimes a bit trippy” aesthetic Faith’s been chasing all along. Across 15 tracks, Cherry Valley is both cinematic and deeply personal, featuring a narrative rich with details as Faith documents the travails of loss and heartbreak as youth tumbles into adulthood. With singles as varied as the sly “Grudge” or the gut-wrenching “If I Had Never Lost My Mind…,” Cherry Valley proves Faith is already a young master of the form, putting her own twist on classic country narratives with a sound that is both modern and timeless.

As the Adler Brothers’ only public show of 2026, they’re going all out, bringing a full cast of friends to the stage for a night that’s equal parts concert, reunion, and neighborhood hang.
