Influenced by equal parts country and rock, Brantley Gilbert has made a name for himself with a unique sound fostered by his upbringing in small town Jefferson, Ga. His taste in music always swayed toward a southern country rock feel. But his true-to-life testimony of heartache, trials, triumph, and success found a home in country music, reflected in his compelling lyrics and dynamic live performances. Gilbert’s 2010 debut album “A Modern Day Prodigal Son” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers Chart and No. 4 on the Billboard 200. He continued to see success with his 2011 release “Halfway to Heaven,” which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Country Chart.

Gilbert has charted two No. 1 singles with “Country Must Be Country Wide” and “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do.” His “Kick It In The Sticks” and “Beer Money” are also popular with Country Radio. Gilbert’s hard work recently landed him a nomination for CMA New Artist of the Year. Country superstar Jason Aldean took notice of Gilbert’s songwriting skills—recording “The Best of Me,” a song from Gilbert’s first album and later “My Kinda Party,” which became a No. 1 smash for Aldean in 2010.

Singer-songwriter Kip Moore explored his own experiences growing up in a small Georgia town and has been working diligently to achieve his musical dreams. His debut album “Up All Night,” includes the hit “Somethin’ ‘Bout a Truck” — a track infused with relentless intensity of passion and frustration. Dubbed “a hillbilly Springsteen,” Moore’s singles “Beer Money” and “Somethin’ ‘Bout A Truck” have seen chart success and airplay across the country.
