JOE NICHOLS

A 21st century traditionalist, Nichols is an artist who is both timely and timeless – one who has racked nearly 2 billion music streams including a half-dozen Number 1 singles and ten Top 10 hits with a sound that blurs the boundaries between country music’s past and present. It’s an approach that has earned Nichols three GRAMMY nominations, a CMA award, an ACM trophy, a CMT “Breakthrough Video of the Year” Award as well as multiple gold and platinum-certified records. Nichols’ additional honors include awards from Billboard, Radio & Records and Music Row Magazine as well as a New York Times “Best-Albums-of-the-Year” nod.

The 13-song collection features previous single and title track, “Good Day For Living,” his first top 20 and rising at country radio in nearly a decade.  His brand-new radio single, “Brokenhearted” – also from his Good Day For Living album and written by Rhett Akins, Marv Green, and John Thomas Harding, officially impacted country radio on June 20 and was among the most added.

TRAVIS DENNING

A native of Warner Robins, Georgia, singer/songwriter and Mercury Nashville recording artist Travis Denning first made waves with the release of his Top 40 debut single “David Ashley Parker From Powder Springs,” which has also been certified Gold by the RIAA. He celebrated his first No.1 and Platinum certified single with the “shadowy” (Rolling Stone) “After A Few,” from Denning’s debut EP Beer’s Better Cold, which debuted in the Top 20 of Billboard’s Country Albums chart. Last summer Denning released the EP, Might As Well Be Me. Crafted for the stage with all of Denning’s hard-charging energy and mischief-making signatures intact, the collection also captures an artist maturing. The track “Buy A Girl A Drink,” a candlelit confession that features Denning’s tender lyricism, marked the most first-week streams of Denning’s songs to date. His current song, “Strawberry Wine And A Cheap Six Pack,” is Denning’s second highest debut and has already amassed over 3.5M Global streams.  Denning’s songwriting extends to other artists – he has co-written for Morgan Wallen, Michael Ray, Chase Rice, Jason Aldean and Justin Moore. Denning has previously headlined his own “Heartbeat Of A Small Town Tour,” toured with Brother’s Osborne, Cole Swindell, Dustin Lynch, Alan Jackson, Riley Green, Dierks Bentley and Jake Owen and he is currently out on the road headlining and playing festivals throughout the summer. With over 760 million streams worldwide, Denning has been spotlighted for his head-turning sound and is making his mark withing the industry, being previously selected as one of CRS New Faces, an Opry NextStage recipient and a CMA KixStart Artist. Denning is in the studio recording his next project.

their polka band where they traveled across Texas performing. Offerman graduated from Berklee College of Music at the age of 19 and signed her publishing deal with Universal Music Group Publishing about five years later. Offerman was featured in The Highwomen’s “Redesigning Women” video, inked her record deal with Universal Music Group in 2020. She was named Pandora’s Ones to Watch for 2023, included in CMT’s “Next Up” class of 2023 as well as being named CMT Next Women of Country.
