RANDY HOUSER

With an inimitable voice The New York Times describes as “wholly different, thicker and more throbbing, a caldron bubbling over,” Randy Houser racked up three consecutive No. 1 hits and more than four million in singles sales to date with his Stoney Creek Records album How Country Feels. Randy Houser has racked up five consecutive country radio hits and over five million singles sales after shifting record labels to Stoney Creek Roads. He topped the charts with the "How Country Feels," Runnin’ Outta Moonlight," ͞"Goodnight Kiss," (also his first No. 1 as a songwriter), "We Went," and earned critical acclaim for his powerful delivery of the Top 5 smash and CMA Song of the Year-nominated "Like A Cowboy." His first big hit came when Trace Adkins recorded "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk", a song Houser co-wrote with Jamey Johnson and Dallas Davidson, for his 2005 album Songs About Me. Currently in the top 30 and climbing at Country radio, lead single and title track “Note To Self” marked his “powerful return” following 2019’s critically acclaimed album Magnolia, with Music Row boasting the Mississippi-native “remains one of country music’s very finest vocalists.” With multiple sold-out shows in 2022, including an at-capacity stop at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, Houser wrapped his coheadlining tour with longtime friend Jamey Johnson.

Greylan James

At just 5 years old, Greylan James’ papaw gifted him his first guitar. From that moment on, whenever anyone would ask what he wanted to do in life, he responded, “I’m going to be a Country Music star.” Shortly thereafter, Greylan met his hometown hero, Kenny Chesney, who told him to “stay in school and learn how to write songs” - which is exactly what he did.

After High School, the Knoxville, Tennessee native moved to Nashville in pursuit of his dreams. Shortly after, Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) signed Greylan to a global publishing deal. While writing he was also featured on NBC’s The Voice and ranked one of the best guitarists in the world under 21 by Guitar Center Magazine’s Brotherhood of the Guitar Top 100.

“I write songs about the stories from my life and the stories I’ve seen others live. I just want anyone who’s listening to my music to be able to relate to them,” Greylan says.

His songwriting is proven to be relatable, often ending up in the hands of notable names such as Chris Young, Blake Shelton and Chris Janson. In 2020, Kenny Chesney personally called Greylan to inform him he was recording his song “Happy Does,” which peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. Now, one of his latest cuts, “Next Thing You Know,” recorded and co-written by Jordan Davis is aiming to do the same as it rapidly climbs the charts.

Since the release of his debut EP, I Hope She Hears These, in 2022, Greylan has since signed a record deal with Big Machine Label Group fulfilling a childhood dream and joining the likes of Lady A, Brett Young, Florida Georgia Line and many more. His latest release “Undermine” accompanies a slew of previously released singles including “Old Truck, Young Love,” co-written with NBA superstar Jimmy Butler, “My Future,” and “2 Years Back,” that will be featured on Greylan’s forthcoming full-length album due out later this year.

The songs can be heard live as Greylan opens for Old Dominion on the No Bad Vibes Tour running from January 2023 through July. Along with a rapidly growing fanbase, Greylan has earned support from People Country, American Songwriter, CMT and more including Billboard, who named his forthcoming record one of the New in 2023 projects to look out for, and Sirius XM’s The Highway which just announced Greylan as their official Highway Find — an honor that has previously been held by artists like Luke Combs, Maren Morris, Dan + Shay, Florida Georgia Line and more.

NIGHT RANGER - June 2, 2023

1 of 3

Heavy hitting rock legends, Night Ranger have sold over 17 Million albums worldwide, performed across more than 4000 stages, and captivated a radio audience that exceeds 1 Billion. The band has transcended the arena rock sound and style well beyond that era and continue to grow their ever-evolving fan-base. Some of their best-selling albums include Dawn Patrol, Midnight Madness, 7 Wishes, Big Life and Man In Motion. Night Ranger’s popularity is fueled by a number of instantly recognizable hit singles and signature album tracks, such as “ Sister Christian“, “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me “, “When You Close Your Eyes“, and the anthemic “(You Can Still) Rock In America. Over the years, the band’s music has also made notable contributions to and been featured in many different areas of global media and pop culture. Night Ranger has been touring around the globe throughout 2022 and their latest album, ATBPO(which stands for ( And The Band Played On) was released in August of 2021. Night Ranger is Jack Blades (bass, vocals), Kelly Keagy (drums, vocals), Brad Gillis (lead & rhythm guitars), Eric Levy (keyboards) and Keri Kelli (lead & rhythm guitars). Night Ranger released their first records in the early 80s, so as they celebrate their 40th Anniversary, they continue to prove that powerful songs alongside, incredibly talented musicians and most importantly having such wonderful fans around the world is the perfect formula for continued success.

The Marshall Tucker Band

The Marshall Tucker Band came together as a young, hungry, and quite

driven six-piece outfit in Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1972, having duly

baptized themselves with the name of a blind piano tuner after they found it

inscribed on a key to their original rehearsal space — and they’ve been in

tune with tearing it up on live stages both big and small all across the globe

ever since. Plus, the band’s mighty music catalog, consisting of more than

20 studio albums and a score of live releases, has racked up multi-platinum

album sales many times over. A typically rich MTB setlist is bubbling over

with a healthy dose of hits like the heartfelt singalong “Heard It in a Love

Song,” the insistent pleading of “Can’t You See” (the signature tune of

MTB’s late co-founding lead guitarist and then-principal songwriter Toy

Caldwell), the testifying “Fire on the Mountain,” the wanderlust gallop of

“Long Hard Ride,” and the explosive testimony of “Ramblin,’” to name but a

few.

Austin Healy Band

They say that music is the language of the soul, and nothing could be truer for
this southern flavored Rock Band. Composed of a group of veteran musicians
and skillful performers, the artists behind Austin Healy have earned their
reputation as a formidable presence on stage. A stylistically unique Southern
Rock Band from day one, the members of Austin Healy have been singing,
performing, and playing in sync as if they’d been together their entire musical
careers. Throughout the course of the band’s union, they have won over the
hearts of music lovers from all walks of life; performing at a variety of venues
and making loads of public appearances.

KILLER QUEEN

1 of 4

Killer Queen's first public shows were at London University, following in the footsteps of the real Queen who had played their first shows there decades earlier. Killer Queen's UK popularity grew to such an extent they soon secured a residency in London's Strand Theatre attracting nationwide BBC coverage - the first tribute to have a show in the West End. The band's reputation continued to grow both in the UK and abroad leading to them winning an award for “Worldwide Best Tribute Band”. By now they were in demand in European arenas playing Ahoy, where the now reformed Queen would be performing only a few months later. They were delighted to sell out Forest National Arena where Queen filmed the concert set piece videos such as Hammer To Fall and Don't Stop Me Now. Killer Queen then joined forces with Bjorn Again and The Bootleg Beatles for a Waverley Stadium show in Edinburgh. It was this performance that led to the band being selected to represent Queen in a re-staged tribute LiveAid concert held by Sir Bob Geldof. They performed with him at his arena charity concert to raise funds for the homeless. In 2016 Killer Queen set their sights on America including the awe inspiring Red Rocks Arena in Colorado – one of the countries most prestigious venues. The Beatles, Springsteen, U2 have all played there and the band are delighted it's become a regular fixture on Killer Queen's tour sheet. By 2020 the band were pulling huge arena audiences in Cardiff Motorpoint, Liverpool and Nottingham. 2021 sees them back on the road ready to delight huge audiences the world over.

SMASH MOUTH & SPIN DOCTORS

SMASH MOUTH

A look back at Smash Mouth’s formative years show us a band determined to make an impact from the get-go. Formed in late 1994, the band immediately begins recording demos and showcasing in both San Jose and Hollywood, CA.

Smash Mouth’s major-label debut “Fush Yu Mang” goes more than DOUBLE PLATINUM and sets the table for what most consider their masterpiece, 1999’s brilliant follow-up album “Astrolounge”. No sophomore slump for these guys! Boasting three top-ten hits (“All-Star”, “Then The Morning Comes”, and “Can’t Get Enough Of You Baby”), sales for “Astrolounge” are nearly double those for their debut, approaching QUADRUPLE PLATINUM status.

Smash Mouth’s third, eponymous Interscope release features the ecstatic first single “Pacific Coast Party” and the smash hit “I’m A Believer”. Around this time, Smash Mouth crosses over into film world by providing the musical heart of the soundtrack for “Shrek”, and even making a cameo appearance in the movie “Rat Race”.

SPIN DOCTORS

Thirty years. It’s an eternity in rock ‘n’ roll, and a marathon for the bands who fly its tattered flag. Revisit the class of 1988, and the casualties are piled high: a thousand bands that blew up and burnt out. In this chew-and-spit industry, the Spin Doctors are the last men standing, still making music like their lives depend on it, still riding the bus, still shaking the room. They’ve never been a band for backslaps and self-congratulation. Even now, plans are afoot for a seventh studio album and another swashbuckling world tour, adding to their tally of almost two thousand shows. But faced with that milestone, even a band of their velocity takes a breath for reflection. “I’d never have guessed,” admits drummer Aaron Comess, “this would have turned into thirty years of making great music together.” Like all the best rock ‘n’ roll mythology, the final page of the Spin Doctors’ biography remains forever unwritten. But if the band’s story is to begin anywhere, it should be at New York’s New School university in the fall of ’88, when a fateful door-knock sparked the first meeting of Comess and guitarist Eric Schenkman. Trading as the Trucking Company, Schenkman, local legend John Popper and a charisma-bomb vocalist named Chris Barron had been making a glorious noise in the clubs downtown. But when Popper committed himself to Blues Traveler, the remnants sought new blood. Having assured Schenkman that he’d “check them out,” Comess formed a ferocious rhythm section with Bronx-raised bassist Mark White. “When I first met them,” recalls White, “I thought, ‘These are some funky-assed white boys.’ I’m the black guy in the band, and they had to teach me to play the blues.”
