Updated Lineup Coming Soon
Eric Church
The three-time Country Music Association and six-time Academy of Country Music Award winner released his highly-anticipated album Desperate Man atop the Billboard Country Albums chart in late 2018, earning praise as one of the year’s top albums by American Songwriter, Billboard, Entertainment Weekly, Variety, Stereogum, The Los Angeles Times, NPR, Rolling Stone, USA Today and Vulture, among others. The album, featuring his most recent No. 1 hit “Some Of It,” also debuted at No. 5 on the all-genre Billboard 200. Rolling Stone describes it as “classic Church: expertly crafted and country-radio-friendly, while also pushing boundaries in a way that sounds natural and unforced” and American Songwriter notes that it “sublimates the pain of a tumultuous year into his most adventuresome album yet.” Church also returned to the road this year for his critically-acclaimed Double Down Tour, with back-to-back nights of two unique shows sans-opening act giving fans 6+ hours of his iconic music in each city. The tour recently featured a massive stop at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, where he broke the venue’s concert attendance record with more than 56,000 fans just two weeks before awing the same stadium’s audience with a 30-minute, solo acoustic CMA Fest set featuring a medley of 17 hits.

Russell Dickerson
The Nashville-based multi-platinum recording artist and 2019 ACM Award nominee for “Song of the Year,” Russell Dickerson, celebrated another no. 1 single with “Blue Tacoma” (featured in the hit “X-Men” franchise film “Logan”), shortly following his debut at no. 1 for “Yours” off his album by the same name. With a deep appreciation for the importance of authentic connection, People Magazine’s “One to Watch” who recently launched his own fan experience app (Russell Dickerson’s: RD app), spends as much time on the road and with the fans who made “Yours” the “biggest love song of the year.” The “hypnotic” (CMT) crooner is currently on tour with Thomas Rhett this Summer following his 2019 Stagecoach debut. The singer/songwriter is the launch artist on Triple Tigers Records, a joint venture with Sony Music. Dickerson’s third single “Every Little Thing” is climbing country radio now.
Rodney Atkins
Rodney Atkins’ fifth studio album, Caught Up in the Country (5/10/19), reveals an artist who is confident enough to know that making your best music can require patience and experimentation. While his storied career has reached such heights as being named the Top New Male Vocalist at the 2006 ACM awards and seeing his single "Watching You" become the Number One Song of the Decade according to Country Aircheck, it’s been more than seven years since Take a Back Road, his last record of new material. But Atkins knew that this time, he wanted to bring his songs further than he had ever gone before.
“I’ve never taken it lightly,” he says, “but with some of the other albums, I got to take my time for part of the album. But then when you get that first single finished, you gotta go, and you start working at a faster pace for the second half of the album. This time, I got to take that time with every song.”
The results, he believes, are the most daring collection of his career, touching on emotions and sounds which continue to expand his range—from the twangy celebration of the album’s title track (featuring the roof-raising vocals of the Fisk Jubilee Singers) to the slow-burn cover of Jason Isbell’s “Cover Me Up.” And with six Number One singles, eight Top Five singles, and over 13 million units sold, Atkins sees that his track record validates his approach.
With Caught Up in the Country, one of country music’s biggest stars is starting his next chapter.

Adam Doleac
“I’m a go big or go home type guy, I don’t know how to stop in the middle.”
Adam Doleac, dubbed “the hero country needs” by Popdust, has staked his claim as one to watch in Nashville. Recently No. 1 on Sirius XM’s Hot 30 Countdown with his single Famous - a successful follow-up to previous release Whiskey’s Fine reaching No. 3 on the countdown. Doleac’s music was described by Rolling Stone as “anchored not only in the trends of Top 40 radio, but also the blue-collar grit of Bob Seger and the bluesy influence of his Mississippi hometown.” Doleac made his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2018 and has been captivating audiences nationwide while touring with some of the biggest names in the genre including Kane Brown, Chris Young, and Carrie Underwood to name a few. Rolling Stone praised that Doleac is “better suited to the stadium than the saloon.” All of this success caught the eye of Sony Music Group which lead to Doleac being signed to the prestigious label in October of 2019.
However, if you’d asked a young Adam Doleac what he was going to do with his life, odds are high he would have said anything but ‘musician’. “I was the kid that played all the sports,” he says of his childhood in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. His talent for baseball earned him a scholarship at the University of Southern Mississippi; an offer that would serendipitously bring him into the musical fold.
“In college, my roommates all played guitar,” says Doleac, “So anytime they left the house I’d pick up one of them and start teaching myself.” Despite being untrained, he took naturally to the instrument. “I wrote about five songs with my baseball teammates… then I went and booked three shows around my hometown. Turns out a lot of people turned up. So I got the bug.” Adam recorded one of those songs in a YouTube video that rapidly accrued millions of views. It attracted the attention of the former head of Sony ATV. “He had me come into his office... I played him a couple of songs. He emailed Kenny Chesney the song. Five minutes later Kenny said ‘I wanna cut it.’”
This began Doleac’s successful partnership with Sony as a songwriter; allowing him to craft tracks for acts like Kane Brown, Darius Rucker, and Hootie and the Blowfish. In 2017, however, everything changed when he made his first solo EP drop. The lead track, Whiskey’s Fine, sold 35,000 copies as an independent single and became Sirius XM’s ‘Highway Find’, which skyrocketed Doleac in to the wider Country Music consciousness. He followed ‘Whiskey’s Fine’ with ‘Famous’, which spent two weeks at the top of Sirius XM’s country chart, and has now outperformed ‘Whiskey’s Fine’ by every metric. All of this has lead to tectonic surge in public enthusiasm for the firebrand. Enthusiasm that Doleac returns to his base five-fold. “The reason, the drive, the passion behind the millions of hours of work... It’s for the love of the fans.”
“For Adam, the sky’s the limit” (Hollywood Life), his latest drop Solo was described by Billboard as “mesmerizing,” he returned to his baseball roots by recording ‘Key to the City’ for the ESPN College World Series, and he shows no signs of slowing down. “My goal ultimately is to play stadiums and fill them suckers up,” Doleac states plainly. Go big or go home, indeed.
