It’s hard to know where to start when talking about Sawyer Brown. 

More than 4500 shows and counting. More than a million miles behind them and still seeing the highway miles click by outside their bus window. Twenty-three albums. More than 50 chart singles. CMA, ACM, and CMT awards on the shelf. To pull a line from one of the band’s enduring hits: “This is the life and times of a travelin’ band.” A traveling band, indeed. Always on the move—on the road, on stage, and in their career. When asked about what keeps him motivated on the road, lead singer Mark Miller says, “It’s playing the next show. Be grateful for where you’ve been and be excited about where you’re going.” 

The band’s live shows are legendary. Having been described as “the Rolling Stones of Country Music,” the band bounds onto the stage night after night, delivering its own unique brand of high-energy entertainment, and the band remains a perennial favorite at fairs, festivals, theatres, and casinos. That excitement has been on display since the very first time Sawyer Brown stepped foot onstage in the early 1980s. Beginning as the road band for another singer, Sawyer Brown broke out on their own playing everything from clubs to pig roasts in those earliest days. “There’s no such thing as a gig we wouldn’t take,” Miller laughs, remembering the beginning of the ride. “We knew that we wanted to play music and we knew that we wanted to work at being the best live band there was—and the only way to do that, was to get out and play shows. And so we did.” The band has earned its place as one of the premier live acts in music. The band began by playing 275-300 nights a year for the first decade or more of its career—and has never come off the road. Tireless road warriors, the band thrives on playing live. “Live is where it all comes together for us,” keyboardist Hobie Hubbard says. “The audience brings its own energy, we bring our own energy and the music—and the combination of all of that is what makes playing live so unique. We’re blessed to be able to be a part of those moments night after night.”

In just over 10 years, Casey Donahew has risen from being a favorite on the local Texas music scene to a nationally popular touring act who has racked up 13 No. 1 singles and consistently sells out venues across the country. Donahew has released four independent albums to critical and commercial acclaim. His 2011 release, DOUBLE WIDE DREAM, spawned three No. 1 singles: the title track, “Double Wide Dream,” “Let’s Not Say Goodbye Again,” and “One Star Flag.” Casey’s last CD, STANDOFF, quickly topped the iTunes Country Chart at No. 1, upon its release, and yielded five No. 1 radio singles “Whiskey Baby,” “Small Town Love,” “Lovin’ Out of Control,” which is Donahew’s fastest rising single to date, “Not Ready To Say Goodnight, and “Loser.” His first single “Feels This Right,” from his EP release PRE-PARTY also hit the #1 as a Texas radio hit. Donahew released his most recent studio album ALL NIGHT PARTY on August 19, 2016 and it immediately rocketed to No. 3 on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart, No. 13 on the Top Album Sales Chart and Top Current Album Sales Chart and No. 40 on the Billboard 200 Chart. The hot project also took the No. 2 spot on the Internet Albums Chart and landed at Np. 3 on the Independent Albums Chart. Donahew’s single “Kiss Me,” from ALL NIGHT PARTY, finished 2016 in the #1 position on the Texas charts and is currently climbing the Mediabase and Billboard mainstream radio charts.

Billy Idol was an early architect of the sound, style, and fury of punk rock. His lip- curling sneer and fist-pumping persona vaulted him into the mainstream as one of MTV’s first megastars, making him one of the most recognizable faces in pop music, while selling out arenas everywhere he played. He has sold 40 million albums while scoring numerous platinum albums worldwide, nine top forty singles in the U.S. and 10 in the U.K. including “Dancing With Myself, “White Wedding,” “Rebel Yell,” “Mony Mony,” “Eyes Without A Face,” “Flesh For Fantasy,” and “Cradle Of Love.”

Billy was responsible for some of punk rock’s most memorable, literate, and evocative moments and created a pioneering new sound by bringing the spirit of ’77 to the dance floor, going on to fashion an immediately identifiable musical blueprint that integrates club-land throb, rockabilly desperation, and rock’n’roll decadence.

Idol returned to the spotlight in the fall of 2014 with two high profile releases that marked the latest chapter in the long and remarkable story of a musician, an inventor, a survivor, a father, a son, a man who returned from the brink, and a rebel whose yells made the mainstream sit up and pay attention.

Idol’s New York Times bestselling autobiography Dancing With Myself is an electric, intelligent, brutally honest and entirely self-written account of Billy Idol’s journey to fame, from his early days as front man of the pioneering UK punk band Generation X to a long and often decadent life lived loving sex, drugs, rock’n’roll, and motorcycles.

Kings & Queens of the Underground was Billy’s first album of new material in nearly a decade. The album’s palette, which includes incredible contributions from Idol’s longtime collaborator and lead guitarist Steve Stevens, will be instantly familiar to lovers of classic Billy Idol, while announcing a firm step into the future. Produced by Trevor Horn (with two tracks co-written and produced by 2017 Grammy Producer of The Year winner Greg Kurstin), it is full of thumping, cinematic songs about sin, redemption and the love of rock’n’roll.

Since the arrival of his self-titled, No. 1 Top Country Album in 2016, Kane Brown has ascended from social media notability to become one of country music’s most accomplished mainstays. The 4X AMA winner is the only artist in history to notch two titles in the genre’s Top 5 most-streamed songs of all time. “Heaven” and “What Ifs” featuring Lauren Alaina, the record-setting tracks from Kane Brown, are also certified 5X Platinum, making Kane one of only five country artist to achieve that certification twice (along with Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Sam Hunt, and Taylor Swift).

Following up his 2016 debut LP, which, alongside the two No. 1 singles mentioned above, made him the first performer ever to lead all five of Billboard’s main country charts simultaneously, Kane released Kane Brown Deluxe Edition in 2017. The long-player again debuted on top of Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, climbed to No. 5 on the Billboard200 chart, and is certified 2X Platinum.

With the chart-topping Billboard 200 release Experiment in Nov. 2018, Brown became the only male country artist in more than 24 years to have his sophomore album debut at the top of this chart. His Platinum-certified Experiment has yielded three consecutive No. 1 Platinum singles, “Homesick,” “Good As You” and “Lose It.” That same year, Associated Press named Kane Breakthrough Artist of the Year, and Time Magazine included him as one of “31 People Changing the South.”

In January 2019, Kane appeared on R&B star Khalid’s “Saturday Nights REMIX.” The crossover track anticipated his collaboration with famed DJ Marshmello, “One Thing Right,” which he dropped in June 2019. It reached the Top 15 hit at Top 40 radio, becoming Kane’s first single to achieve airplay beyond the country format. In October 2019, CMT named Kane an Artist of the Year alongside Dan + Shay, Luke Combs, Thomas Rhett, and Carrie Underwood.

The ACM, People’s Choice, iHeartRadio, CMT, and Billboard Music Awards-nominated singer continued his cross-genre collaborating with “Last Time I Say Sorry,” a duet with John Legend; the two share vocals on the song, which they co-wrote. Of the ballad, The New York Times commented, “Kane Brown softens the edges of his rich voice…with John Legend.”

In April 2020, Kane dropped “Cool Again,” which closed out that month as the most-added single at country radio and which Billboard called a “song of the summer.” He followed it with “Worldwide Beautiful” on June 4, two days after the music industry’s sector-wide #Blackout Tuesday. The ballad echoed with a message of acceptance and global peace, and it benefits Boys and Girls Club of America to advocate for justice and equality for the millions of youth. Kane made the national television debut of “Worldwide Beautiful” at the 2020 BET Awards alongside Grammy-nominated gospel singer, Jonathan McReynolds.

Most recently, Kane dropped “Be Like That,” a breezy pop crossover with Khalid and Grammy-nominated vocalist Swae Lee. The three new tracks offer another glimpse into the global entertainer’s singularly progressive sound and style, which Rolling Stone recently praised as a balance of “pop-leaning radio country, Randy Travis-inspired Nineties stylings, and pop-dominant R&B,” as he continues to shape the next generation of country music.
