SUMMARY:Vincent Neil Emerson w/ Kade Hoffman
DESCRIPTION:Vincent Neil Emerson has become a staple among folk and country music fans nationwide\, celebrated for his honest tales of life on the road\, heartbreak\, and struggles of all sorts. His first LP\, Fried Chicken & Evil Women\, from 2019\, established him as a refreshing voice in the modern country music landscape. The songs from that first album were charming and playful songs\, but didn’t reveal the entirety of Emerson’s story. \nOn his brilliant new album\, The Golden Crystal Kingdom\, Emerson transcends the role of a honky-tonk country singer and becomes a chronicler of his history. The album is a bold continuation of the story he tells on Vincent Neil Emerson\, with songs like the title track exploring the feelings he was left with after his days spent playing in Texas honky-tonks and dancehalls\, and the track “The Time of The Rambler\,” inspired by the early days of living in his car and busking on the streets. \nHe was born and partly raised in East Texas\, around his Choctaw-Apache family\, and spent most of his life moving around the state. Raised by a single mother\, he lost his father to suicide when he was nine. Emerson dealt with those feelings of abandonment and loss on his self-titled album\, with the track “Learning to Drown” in particular. \nHis grandmother and grandfather brought the family to Texas when Emerson’s mother was a child\, leaving their ancestral Choctaw-Apache homelands in Louisiana behind to try and build a better life for themselves and their children. Emerson always identified with his Native American roots\, but it wasn’t until 2021’s self-titled album that he examined and tried to shed light on the devastating history of his tribe with the song “Ballad of the Choctaw Apache.” \nSonically\, The Golden Crystal Kingdom finds Emerson expanding his scope into rock and roll territory\, tapping into the storied sounds of folk music gone electric\, and following in the footsteps of artists like Bob Dylan and Neil Young. On the album\, Emerson retains his diamond-sharp storytelling while imbuing the work with a freewheeling rock and roll aesthetic\, creating an album as fun as his live shows and as cathartic as his previous work. \nWith production from Shooter Jennings\, Emerson wanted to establish some sounds as touchstones but emphasized following his own intuition for the aesthetics of his record. “I didn’t really want to model this record after anybody else’s music\, but I’ve been heavily influenced by a lot of old rock and roll music from the sixties and seventies singer-songwriter music\,” Emerson explains. \nThe album wasn’t necessarily created as an opposing force to the country and folk sounds his fans have come to expect\, but he did want to make a record that showcased another side of himself as a writer. He also leaned on friends and collaborators like Jennings\, Steve Earle\, and Rodney Crowell to help him flesh out this album. \nEmerson has been able to call these one-time heroes friends and mentors\, and it is these relationships that have helped the songwriter find his confidence in writing about his personal history and standing up for the causes he believes in. Emerson wrote “Man From Uvalde” after the horrific and tragic mass shooting in the city of Uvalde\, Texas\, and he was initially hesitant to include the track on The Golden Crystal Kingdom. “It’s a daunting thing to try to dive into social issues in songwriting because I wasn’t sure how people would really take it\,” Emerson says. “I recorded a rough demo version of the song\, and I sent it to Steve [Earle]. I just wanted to get his thoughts on it and see if it was worth anything. He got back to me\, and he said he really liked the song and thought it was great. He gave me a few ideas and ways to look at the subject differently\, and it really helped me finish the song. That encouragement gave me the confidence to include it on the album.” \nThe Golden Crystal Kingdom also pays tribute to some of the peers Emerson cut his teeth with in the music scene. He covers the Charley Crockett song\, “Time of the Cottonwood Trees\,” and is quick to pay tribute to his labelmate and dear friend Colter Wall. “Those two had my back since day one. They’ve been some of my biggest supporters\, and they’ve always inspired me to write better songs and encouraged me to pursue this\,” Emerson reflects. “Especially at a time when I was starting out and I didn’t really have a lot of encouragement or even self-confidence to do this\, they were always there for me.” \nAs a kid who grew up in a trailer with a single mother\, went through bouts of homelessness as a young man\, and grinded through countless shows to get where he’s at\, Vincent Neil Emerson is never quick to praise his own work ethic. He always refers to the friends\, family members\, and collaborators who have shown their faith in his vision. \nBut humility doesn’t mean Emerson isn’t one of the hardest working\, most talented songwriters to emerge from the alt-country underground in years. His style is one of a kind\, and his ability to blend tales of the everyman with tributes to his past\, present\, and future make him a peerless songwriter. On The Golden Crystal Kingdom\, Vincent Neil Emerson carries on the torch of his singer-songwriter forebears while infusing the legacy with his unique and thrilling point of view.

SUMMARY:Sara Evans
DESCRIPTION:Multi-platinum entertainer Sara Evans is at the top of her game. As the fifth most-played female artist at country radio in nearly the last two decades – her five No. 1 singles include “No Place That Far\,” “Suds In The Bucket\,” “A Real Fine Place To Start\,” “Born to Fly\,” and “A Little Bit Stronger.” \nSeveral of those #1’s spent two weeks in the top spot and were certified platinum by the R.I.A.A. Overall\, she’s had 15 songs chart in the Top 20. \nSara continues to thrill audiences around the world\, playing over 70 shows each year. Sara’s “stunning\, country voice” (Rolling Stone) has earned her the prestigious Academy of Country Music Top Female Vocalist accolade\, as well as numerous American Music Awards\, Billboard Music Awards\, Country Music Association\, CMT\, and Grammy Awards nominations. \nIn addition\, the CMA awarded Video of the Year honors for her hit chart-topping single\, “Born to Fly\,” from her double-platinum album of the same name. Evans’ discography also includes the multi-platinum selling studio albums Real Fine Place and Restless\, as well as the gold-certified projects Stronger and No Place That Far. \nEvans is also a proud member of the Grand Ole Opry. \nThis year\, Sara launched her podcast “Diving In Deep” and has had a wide array of guests featured on the show\, including Crystal Gayle\, Bill Anderson\, Martina McBride\, Ernest\, and many more. \nIn addition to a prolific country music career\, Sara has been honored for her philanthropic work and in 2018 was presented the NAB Education Foundation’s Service To America Leadership Award. \nThat wanderlust was evident on Ledbetter Heights\, and Shepherd revisits the 12-song collection with gusto on this faithful re-recording. The perceivable differences between the albums are a refined musicality evident in the arrangements\, and the more nuanced and intentional guitar playing\, though the fire still rages – check out the bluesy bluster on the opener\, “Born with a Broken Heart.” Only one track\, “Riverside\,” deviates significantly. Slowed down and smokier\, it brings a quiet fire vibe not found in the 1995 version. In addition\, fans will no doubt enjoy hearing longtime Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band co-vocalist Noah Hunt sing these songs. Noah has been with Shepherd for 28 years and has sung on every other album. This completes the sonic circle. \nA Red Cross ambassador\, Sara received the national Crystal Cross Award for her work with the disaster-relief organization and has helped raise funds for the CMA Foundation. A longtime supporter of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital\, Sara continues to support the hospital as a cause dear to her heart. \nTickets are $82.08\, $71.35\, $60.63 and $44.54 plus applicable online/phone ticketing fee. This fee is waived when tickets are purchased at Café at 22 & Vine inside Walker’s Bluff Casino Resort®. All ages are welcome. Doors will open one hour prior to showtime.

SUMMARY:Stephen Wilson Jr. - Gary The Torch Tour
DESCRIPTION:Stephen Wilson Jr.’s journey from the hollers of southern Indiana to Nashville\, Tenn. has been a winding road that’s taken many detours: He’s been an Indiana State Golden Gloves boxing championship finalist\, a scientist\, and a lead guitarist and songwriter in an indie rock band. In 2016\, he ditched his laboratory 9-to-5 and signed a publishing deal with BMG Nashville where his alchemic songcraft immediately made waves\, leading to cuts from Caitlyn Smith\, Old Dominion\, Tim McGraw\, Sixpence None the Richer\, Leigh Nash and more. 2023 proved to be Wilson Jr.’s breakthrough year\, signing with Big Loud Records and releasing his debut double album søn of dad: a triumphant\, genre-spanning set of 22 songs dedicated to his late father and given to the world on the five-year anniversary of his passing. \nThe album was named the No. 1 album of 2023 by Holler who called it “a record for the ages\,” and earned a spot as one of the best albums of the year from Whiskey Riff\, Wide Open Country and Rolling Stone. In 2024\, he made his network television debut on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers\, followed by performances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s #LateShowMeMusic series and Later…with Jools Holland. \nAhead of the one-year anniversary of søn of dad\, Wilson Jr. was also profiled in an extensive feature for CBS Saturday Morning. So far in 2025\, Wilson Jr. released a deluxe edition of his debut album that features a moving interpretation of “Stand By Me” that has been streamed tens of millions of times. He is fresh off the heels of an entirely sold- out 2025 U.S. run of his søn of dad tour and is supporting HARDY on his Jim Bob World Tour on select dates from May through September\, including the final show at Madison Square Garden. This summer he will make his Newport Folk Festival debut and throughout the year will perform at Glastonbury Music Festival\, Cavendish Beach Music Festival\, Boots and Hearts\, Whiskey Moon and more.

SUMMARY:Ernest - Live From The South Tour
DESCRIPTION:Nashville’s most unpredictable hitmaker ERNEST is “The Charmer” (MusicRow): a triple threat talent who “creates a sound all his own” (Pollstar) and one of Music City’s defining artist-writers who continues to push and challenge the artistic status quo. The GRAMMY-nominated\, 4X ACM Award nominee (2024)\, 2X CMA Triple Play Award winner\, and 2022 / 2023 Variety Hitmaker fuses influences ranging from Eminem to George Jones\, crafting a twist-heavy verse style that’s become his signature\, proving its mettle\, and earning him twelve No. 1 hits as a songwriter and one No. 1 at country radio himself. The eccentric free spirit released his highly anticipated full-length sophomore album\, NASHVILLE\, TENNESSEE\, last year\, a set that “maintain(s) Nashville’s tethering to its legendary history while wholly embracing the soul of the city’s future” (The Tennessean)\, featuring 26 songs and collaborations with genre tastemakers Lainey Wilson\, Lukas Nelson\, Jelly Roll\, HARDY\, and more. The album was named one of the Best of the Year by Billboard\, Los Angeles Times\, The Tennessean\, and Country Now\, following in the footsteps of its critically acclaimed predecessor\, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM)\, and its cleverly expanded deluxe edition\, FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM): Two Dozen Roses.

SUMMARY:Jake Worthington - Intent to Tonk Tour
DESCRIPTION:For Big Loud Texas traditionalist Jake Worthington\, country music is in his DNA. The La Porte\, Texas native was raised on his grandfather’s porch performances of Ray Price\, Merle Haggard and George Jones\, and soon picked up his own Gibson acoustic to realize the breadth of his soon-to-be-classic\, wide\, and wild voice. Now\, Worthington breathes fresh life into dance halls\, beer joints\, and ballrooms from Texas to Tennessee with his growing catalog – his sophomore album When I Write The Song is out now with Miranda Lambert collaboration “Hello Shitty Day\,” “I’m The One (feat. Marty Stuart)\,” viral “It Ain’t The Whiskey” and more. Captivating the masses with his honky-tonk stylings\, the singer-songwriter hits the road this fall joining Zach Top as direct support on all dates of the Cold Beer & Country Music Tour followed by supporting slots on Jon Pardi’s Honkytonk Hollywood Tour. “I believe in country music as much as I believe in my next breath\,” Worthington declares\, and “blame it on my raising\, but I think there ought to be room for country in country music.”

SUMMARY:Max McNown - The Cost of Growing Up Tour
DESCRIPTION:Singer/songwriter Max McNown creates the kind of songs that soundtrack our most intimate moments: times of intense heartache and tremendous loss\, immense upheaval and life-changing revelation. Within just a year of teaching himself to play guitar\, the Nashville-based artist set off on a meteoric rise largely fueled by his breakout single “A Lot More Free”—a RIAA Gold-certified track whose explosive success includes peaking at #1 on the iTunes singles chart and earning him a #1 spot on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart. Following the release of his widely lauded debut album Wandering\, the Willfully Blind EP\, and his acclaimed sophomore album Night Diving\, the 23-year-old Oregon native continued his fast ascent to stardom and made his TV performance debut with an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show in early 2025\, in addition to selling out his first-ever headline tour within just hours. Named a 2025 Artist To Watch by Amazon Music\, Holler\, and Country Now\, McNown now embarks on a thrilling new chapter with Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up): a 21-song powerhouse that shows the complete depth of his artistry like never before. \nA drastically expanded edition of his sophomore LP\, Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up) features 11 never-before-heard tracks built on McNown’s quietly potent form of folk/country. “Even though Night Diving was the length of a full album\, in my heart it never felt complete to me\,” he reveals. “All of these songs were written in the same time period\, and my intention was always to have them be one body of work.” Still\, McNown points out that the previously unreleased songs surfaced from a recent evolution of his mesmerizing sound\, spotlighting an earthy tonality informed by his upbringing in the Pacific Northwest. “Since my first EP I’ve been on the hunt to find myself as a musician\, and with this album\, I’ve officially made something that fully represents me\, both sonically and in my songwriting\,” he says. Produced by Jamie Kenney (Colbie Caillat\, Laci Kaye Booth) and made with an A-list lineup of session players\, Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up) ultimately provides an extraordinary vessel for his profoundly moving and soul-baring storytelling. \nAnchored in the charmingly warm vocal presence that McNown partly honed by busking at the beach in Southern California\, Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up) takes the latter half of its title from a gorgeously textured track that perfectly exemplifies his newly refined sound. With its rootsy yet ethereal instrumentation—luminous steel guitar\, lush mandolin\, soulful organ—“The Cost of Growing Up” arrives as a clear-eyed but melancholy meditation on the inevitability of pain (from the second verse: “Ain’t it interesting/That diamonds come from coal\, and steel gets sharper the more time spent in the flame/And there’s consistency/Between heartbreak and ashes/Scraped knees and taxes/One step back for every two you gain”). “To me\, the cost of growing up is an acceptance that difficult things are going to happen—from minor inconveniences to devastating loss\, it’s all a part of life\,” says McNown. “But there’s also beauty in that because\, without those hard moments\, you wouldn’t be able to truly love.” \nIn the making of Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up)\, McNown revisited the title track from the original album: a lived-in meditation on cycles of addiction\, set against a spellbinding backdrop of otherworldly textures\, moody guitar tones\, and strangely haunting rhythms. This time around\, he includes a feature from Cameron Whitcomb—a rising singer/songwriter who’s written extensively about his personal history with addiction\, and whose force-of-nature vocals add a raw and fiery intensity to the new version of “Night Diving.” “One of the things I respect above all else is authenticity and honesty in music\, and Cam is the epitome of that\,” says McNown. “When I started thinking about a feature on that song\, I knew there was no better person than Cam to join me. He gave it so much energy and his voice is so distinct\, and now the song has a whole new life to it.” \nElsewhere on Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up)\, McNown lets his inner hopeless romantic shine on songs like the unstoppably joyful “Forever Ain’t Long Enough.” A glorious counterpart to “Better Me For You (Brown Eyes)”—a lilting and dreamlike standout from Night Diving\, written when he’d first started dating his girlfriend—“Forever Ain’t Long Enough” rushes forward with a pulse-pounding velocity as McNown lists off all the places he hopes to travel with his beloved (“Let’s chase horizons off the Catalina coastline/Jeep ride all the way to Santa Fe/Sip a coffee to a Montana sunrise/Say goodnight to the Colorado rain”). “It’s about finding somebody who makes it seem like even your entire lifetime isn’t long enough to spend with them\,” McNown explains. “It’s saying\, ‘Let’s love each other to the best of our abilities and take advantage of every single day\, because we know the next day is never promised.’” Meanwhile\, on the heavy-hearted but exquisitely catchy “Same Questions\,” McNown writes from an outside point of view and explores everything that’s lost when a love story ends. “It’s about going through a breakup and not wanting to deal with the process of going back to square one and getting to know a new person\,” he says. “That’s a brutal but relatable experience\, and I liked the idea of writing something sad but putting it to a happy folk melody.” \nIn August 2022\, McNown headed for Southern California and crashed with his aunt and uncle in San Clemente\, where he soon learned to play his dad’s guitar (a gift handed off just as he was leaving home) and showed a friend a song he’d penned in high school. “I didn’t have a lot of faith in myself\, but my friend encouraged me to go down to the San Clemente Pier and play that song and see what happened\,” he says. “That night I made 93 bucks\, and also got a free taco and a girl’s phone number folded into a $5 bill.” As he gained greater confidence in his guitar and vocal skills\, McNown started posting covers online and quickly amassed a devoted following while building up a stash of original songs. Released in April 2023\, his first official song “Freezing in November” surpassed a million streams in just a few months\, paving the way for his signing with Fugitive Recordings. Along with delivering his debut EP A Lot More Free that August\, McNown turned out a series of rapturously received singles—racking up 80 million streams in his very first year of releasing music. The following April\, he released Wandering and earned critical praise from the likes of People and Holler\, with the LP later landing on Whiskey Riff’s list of the year’s best debut albums. \nSince the arrival of Wandering\, Willfully Blind\, and Night Diving\, McNown has fully claimed his place in the music spotlight. To that end\, Kelly Clarkson covered “A Lot More Free” on her show just a month before inviting him on to perform “Better Me For You (Brown Eyes).” Over the past couple of years alone\, he’s also shared bills with Wynonna Judd\, Wyatt Flores\, Michael Marcagi\, Sam Barber\, Billy Currington\, Trampled by Turtles\, JOSEPH\, and more; toured with Briscoe and Blake Rose; traveled overseas to perform at the C2C: Country to Country festival; and made his debut at the legendary Grand Ole Opry. With his 2025 schedule including his debut headline tour (a massive soldout run with stops across the U.S. and in Europe\, the UK\, and Australia)—as well as spots on major festivals like Lollapalooza\, Boston Calling\, and CMA Fest—McNown has undoubtedly cemented his reputation as a captivating live act. “I feel like I’ve found myself as a performer and gained the courage to enjoy the moment\,” he says. “One of the biggest highlights was going to C2C and playing for upwards of 15\,000 people and hearing them sing along to ‘A Lot More Free.’ It always takes my breath away to look out and see the crowd belting that song at the top of their lungs.” \nLooking back on Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up)\, McNown notes that the newly added batch of songs embody a far more hopeful mood compared with the album’s original tracklist. “Even on ‘The Cost of Growing Up\,’ which is one of the saddest songs\, there’s an undertone of optimism and a clear silver lining\,” he says. And while that optimism was entirely intentional on McNown’s part\, he’s highly aware that his music tends to stir up incredibly complex emotions in listeners. “I’ve heard some heavy stories from fans\, including someone nearing suicide and feeling as though they were saved by ‘It’s Not Your Fault\,’” he says\, referring to a particularly poignant track from Night Diving. “It’s amazing how a song can be written about a specific experience\, and then you can be told a hundred different stories about the experiences that other people hear in that same song. But I’d never invalidate anyone’s story—the important thing is that people relate to the song and feel heard and less alone. That’s exactly what I’m doing all this for.”

SUMMARY:Maddox Batson - Live Worldwide Tour
DESCRIPTION:Maddox Batson navigates the world with wisdom and wit far beyond his 15 years. After the\nNashville-born\, Alabama-based songwriter began gaining notoriety covering songs from Zach\nBryan\, Red Clay Strays and more\, he started to write his own songs. Thanks to early singles like\n“Tears In The River” and “I Wanna Know\,” Batson quickly showed that he wasn’t only a star at\ncovering country hits\, but an excellent writer of his own home-cooked cuts – a practice he saw\nfirst-hand as a co-writer on Lana Del Rey and Quavo’s smash hit collaboration\, “Tough.”\nWith the arrival of his deluxe EP First Dance (The After Party) in May\, Maddox Batson was ready\nto show the world you’re never too young to be the face of music. Most recently\, Batson kicked\noff his 29-city I Need A Truck Tour and released new track “Coincidence.” Batson also made his \ndebut appearance at Stagecoach Music Festival in 2025. Life is moving fast for the multi-\ninstrumentalist (piano\, guitar & mandolin) and he’s trying his best to remain a kid while becoming \nnext up in country-pop music. “It can be overwhelming\, this life\, but I’ve got a lot of good people\nsurrounding me\,” he explains. “I’m still just a kid\, though\, and I’m happy about that.”

SUMMARY:Nate Smith - Long Live Country Rock & Roll Tour
DESCRIPTION:According to an age-old cliché\, getting knocked down ain’t what matters – it’s how you get up\, and Sony Music Nashville’s Nate Smith knows firsthand. With a personal journey scarred by disaster\, but defined by revival\, he could have stayed down multiple times through life\, and instead grew into something else entirely: A beacon of country-music hope. \nFeaturing a mix of gritty backwoods soul\, rock ‘n’ roll swagger and velvet-thunder vocals\, Smith is a Nashville artist with a unique connection to life’s inner tug of war. And with his first batch of major-label music\, he’s aiming to tip the scales once and for all. \n“I just feel lucky that I get to be the messenger for these songs\,” says the rising singer-songwriter. “I’m not here to be cool or anything like that. It’s literally just to hit people in the heart.”

SUMMARY:Aaron Lewis and the Stateliners
DESCRIPTION:Aaron Lewis\, the Vermont-born powerhouse first found success with Staind – the 2000s-era hard rockers who injected meditative muscle into an era better known for mindless aggression. But while that band is still very much alive\, it was never enough to satisfy Lewis’ creative drive. Embracing his roots to earn a rare second round of success\, a series of solo country projects have led to two No. 1 Billboard Country Album debuts -TOWN LINE (2011) and SINNER (2016) -plus a PLATINUM collab with heroes George Jones and Charlie Daniels (“Country Boy”)\, and a GOLD-certified Billboard No. 1 with “Am I The Only One” in 2021. Lewis’ 2022 solo album followed suit\, with FRAYED AT BOTH ENDS emerging as the best-selling Country album in America but he never wrote songs for the stats. No matter the sonic setting\, Lewis writes and sings to get his truth out and his latestalbum THE HILL(2024 )is no different
