Cole Swindell
Country music superstar Cole Swindell, who Rolling Stone has called “a proven hit-maker,” has solidified himself as a hit songwriter, recording artist and headlining performer over the past eleven years. With his latest single “Forever To Me” from his upcoming fifth studio album, Spanish Moss, just hitting No. 1, the multi-Platinum award winner has now racked up 13 No. 1 singles as an artist – 14 as a songwriter. Twelve of Swindell’s 13 No. 1 singles have been certified Platinum by the RIAA with three being 3X Platinum (“Chillin’ It,” “You Should Be Here,” and “She Had Me At Heads Carolina”) and two being 2X Platinum (“Ain’t Worth The Whiskey” and “Break Up In The End”).
Swindell, who The Tennessean called a “hard charging competitor armed with a mastery of the art of the craft, tirelessly looking for ways to improve his work” charted three back-to-back, Platinum-certified, multi-week No. 1 hits off his fourth studio album, Stereotype: “Single Saturday Night,” “Never Say Never” (with Lainey Wilson) and the five-week 3x Platinum chart-topper “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” that garnered three ACM Awards for Single of the Year and Song of the Year (as songwriter and artist), an iHeart Music Award for Country Song of the Year and received a nomination for Musical Event of the Year for “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” with Jo Dee Messina for the 57th CMA Awards. He released a special duet remix of his smash “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” featuring Messina that produced multiple award nominations and is included on his deluxe album Stereotype Broken, which also includes his 2023 Top 10 single “Drinkaby.”

Ashley CookeAshley Cooke has weathered the storm and is ready to open her heart and shed the armor as
she looks to her next chapter. With new music on the horizon and after a year filled with some of
the highest highs and lowest lows, breakout country sensation Ashley Cooke has dug deeper
than ever into her songwriting and storytelling to reveal her strongest, most vulnerable, and
most honest work yet.
After winning Belmont's prestigious Country Showcase and releasing her debut album on Big
Loud/Back Blocks Music 'shot in the dark,' Cooke went on to win her first CMT Award for
Breakthrough Female Video of the Year in 2024 and has been nominated twice for ACM's New
Female Artist of the Year, as well as Best New Country Artist at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music
Awards. Cooke also notched her first #1 hit at Country radio with her breakthrough track, "your
place." As her career started to thrive and take flight - something she had been working towards
since penning her first song at the age of eleven - the silky songstress' personal life seemed to
be spiraling. Cooke and her family navigated severe health issues, losses, heartbreak, and
struggles with mental health - all while putting on a smile night-after-night on stage to deliver
unforgettable moments with her fans and showing gratitude for the amazing accolades she
began to stack up. Those experiences and hardships have fueled Cooke more than ever to
throw herself completely into her music - and what's to come is a testament to that.
Cooke has made debuts at the Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium; national TV
appearances on ABC’s The Bachelorette and NBC’s TODAY Show; collaborations and tours
with Ne-Yo, Rascal Flatts, Joe Jonas, Marshmello, Luke Bryan, Jordan Davis, Cole Swindell,
Brett Young; an opening slot on Kane Brown’s stadium and arena tour, and direct support for Parker McCollum.
