About Colin Stough (American Idol Finalist 2023):

Colin Stough, a horse-loving, motorcycle-riding 19-year-old from Gattman, Mississippi has lived through a lot in his relatively short life. And, every ounce of heartbreak can be heard in his gravelly yet commanding rock-leaning vocal.

Dubbed “the Brad Pitt of country music” by Katy Perry — the southern-rock, country artist is releasing his single, “I Still Talk to Jesus.” The bluesy, rock ballad, written by Francisco Martin and Hank Compton, is about loneliness, loss and addiction, themes Colin is all too familiar with.

It is a song about feeling so emotionally alone it's hard not to question “why” yet also feeling a semblance of hope — that you're not truly alone. Tender yet gritty, Colin's striking vocal performance emotes the perfect blend of “I've been there too” and “to anyone out there feeling this way, you are not alone.”

About Walker Montgomery:

Walker Montgomery, chosen as an Artist to Watch in 2022 byCountry Now and Music Mayhem Magazine; as well as Artist to Watch in 2021 by Sounds Like Nashville and The Boot and a Country Next pick by Country Now, is a rising singer/songwriter who knows a thing or two about family tradition, but he’s an artist making his own legacy. The 24-year-old son of John Michael Montgomery and nephew of Montgomery Gentry’s Eddie Montgomery, the emerging star was raised away from the spotlight in Nicholasville, Kentucky. But now that he’s found that spotlight on his own, Montgomery’s pedigree is matched only by his country passion. While Montgomery has consistently been touring the country and writing songs-he’s already put his classically-inspired, honey-bourbon vocal to use on a self-penned hit debut (“SimpleTown,” over 7 Million global streams). A pair of story-building singles followed – the high-energy “Like My Daddy Done It” and passionate “She Don’t Know” – has led to a staggering 40+ Million career streams. Montgomery and his team have already logged countless hours in the studio,as the breakout talent works to hone his lyrical honesty and integrity, plus a lived-in sound that brings country’s past into the present tense. “I want my music to stand the test of time and connect with people no matter who they are,” he says. “I learned from my family that the way you do that is by being true to yourself, and that’s the reason I’m here. That’s the reason I getup every day and do what I do – to help take care of the family name and make them proud.”

About Sadie Bass (The Voice Season 22):

Country music singer/songwriter Sadie Bass grew up in small town Bath, Michigan. Sadie is an outdoorswoman at heart and spent much of her childhood playing sports, hunting, and fishing. For most of her life, Sadie sang behind closed doors, but at age 19 she felt God call her to start seriously pursuing music. In the same month she left college and her softball scholarship behind her, and went all in on her music career.

Sadie has never been motivated by the potential of fame or fortune. Her real passion is connecting with people through her music. “Whenever I am playing a show and see someone in the crowd singing along to one of my originals, or when someone messages me saying they related to my lyrics during a tough time, it’s the best feeling in the world” Sadie commented in a 2022 interview. It is that feeling that ultimately pushed her to make the move from her home town to Nashville in December 2020.

Sadie has now released six studio singles and opened for dozens of national acts including Brantley Gilbert, HARDY, Chase Rice, Randy Houser, Tyler Farr and more. She was recently a contestant on season 22 of NBC’s 'The Voice', starred in two seasons of Outdoor Channel’s “Hunting for Love or Likes”, been featured on Sportsman's channel's “MTN Top Outdoors” and Discovery’s ‘Bassquatch Hunter’. She aspires to pave the way for other bad-a** female artists in music, and hopes this is only the beginning for her successful career.
