Stage
Tyler Booth
Youth and authenticity are two traits that rarely coincide together. Add to that equation a voice that is unique and older than the 22-year old man it's attached to and you suddenly begin seeing what all the fuss is about Kentucky's "Golden Boy” Tyler Booth.
Raised around music and the struggles of being in a band. Tyler is hardwired for the music business and it shows in his work ethic. Born and raised in Wolfe County in the Southeastern region of Kentucky, Tyler has been writing songs and honing his craft for years. Tyler wrote his first record while a freshman at Morehead State University on a vocal scholarship. Unknown to the music programs Dean, he didn't tell anyone of his songs besides his father. His father secretly had Tyler's music submitted to one of Nashville's finest songwriters, Country Music Hitmaker, Phil O'Donnel. Phil heard that smooth baritone with an immediately identifiable southern drawl and knew he had found a young man worthy of his time. Phil has become a mentor, but most importantly a friend to Tyler.
Dan Smalley
Dan Smalley may just now be making a name for himself, but he already sings with the voice of experience and he’s got the bullet scars to prove it. The Alaska native who came of age in Shreveport, Louisiana, sings his confessional, soul-baring songs with deep conviction. Smalley expresses a fresh take on country music that knows tradition, inspired by the greats of the genre and infused with the swampy sounds of his roots, the gospel of hardwood church pews, and the impassioned delivery of R&B.
The Isaacs
The Isaacs, a multi-award winning family group who began singing 35 years ago are based out of Hendersonville, TN. The vocalists are mother Lily Isaacs and siblings Ben Isaacs, Sonya Isaacs Yeary and Rebecca Isaacs Bowman. Playing their own acoustic instruments and joined by other band members, The Isaacs have a unique style that blends tight family harmony with contemporary acoustic instrumentation that appeals to a variety of audiences. Their musical style has been influenced by many genres of music including bluegrass, rhythm and blues, folk, and country, contemporary, acoustic and southern gospel.
Shenandoah
When country music lovers talk about the greatest groups in the genre, Shenandoah is always at the forefront of any discussion.
Fueled by Marty Raybon’s distinctive vocals and the band’s skilled musicianship, Shenandoah became well known for delivering such hits as “Two Dozen Roses”, “Church on Cumberland Road” and “Next to You, Next to Me” as well as such achingly beautiful classics as “I Want to be Loved Like That” and the Grammy winning “Somewhere in the Vicinity of the Heart” duet with AlisonKrauss.
Matt Stell
More so than the massive physique that helped Stell become a collegiate basketball standout, the Platinum certified singer has proven via the songs he sings and the shows he puts on that he is far too powerful of an artist to ever fit into some sort of singular category. In fact, to describe Stell in a few words would be a complete disservice to the man he is and the artist he looks to become as he releases his new EP Better Than That on October 16.
John Schneider
t would be impressive enough for an actor to star in a single show that changed the course of television history with iconic characters and cross-generational appeal, but the fact that John Schneider's done exactly that on a consistent basis for at least four decades makes him nothing short of legendary. Whether it's currently playing Jim Cryer on Tyler Perry's The Haves and the Have Nots, previously immortalizing Jonathan Kent on Smallville and Bo Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard, or showing off his own fancy footwork Dancing with the Stars, the man of many hats is synonymous with success and one of most ubiquitous faces in all of pop culture,
Add in a simultaneous career as a four-time chart-topping country artist with over 20 albums to his credit, including a whopping 72 tracks within the last year alone, alongside a burgeoning movie carver with executive producer Alicia Allain under their own John Schneider Studios/Maven Entertainment banners, and he could quite realistically be counted amongst the most prolific and recognized entertainers of all time. And it turns out his heart is just as huge as the fame that follows thanks to his co-founding of Children's Miracle Network Hospitals at the genesis of this extraordinary career that's accompanied by his tireless work with ongoing fundraising efforts to this very day.
