Carly Pearce

Carly Pearce appearing at this event

Born into the bluegrass brawn of Kentucky, Carly Pearce has never known a moment that Country music wasn’t her destined path. At the young age of 11 she began touring with a local band and by 16 quit high school for a job performing at Dollywood while being homeschooled before moving to Nashville, working odd jobs and playing songwriter rounds. For a girl who left her Kentucky home as a teenager to perform at Dollywood, the Grand Ole Opry member (fittingly invited by Dolly Parton) and ACM/CMA Female Artist/Vocalist of the Year is living out her childhood dream. Lighting a fire with her debut album, Every Little Thing, and the Platinum-certified history-making title track, Carly’s 2X Platinum-certified “I Hope You’re Happy Now" with Lee Brice won both the CMA Musical Event and ACM Music Event, plus ACM Single of the Year. The committed songwriter navigated disappointment, loss and resilience across the 15-track 29: Written In Stone (Big Machine Records). The arc of realising, accepting and moving on wiser for the experience resonated with both fans and caught the attention of music critics from Billboard, NPR, Rolling Stone, The New York Times touting her on their year-end Best of Lists.

Corey Kent

With the small-town charm of a boy from Bixby, OK, the big-city energy of Dallas, TX, and vocal prowess that rivals Nashville’s best – Corey Kent has been poised for a career in music from the beginning. Growing up influenced by various genres and artists, Corey started his journey in music at an early age. Taking the stage at age 11 as the lead singer for a touring Western Swing band, Corey hit early career milestones opening for legendary acts like Roy Clark and The Oak Ridge Boys. A few years later, he would be booking gigs around his hometown of Bixby, OK and by 17 he made his way to Nashville.
