Showings

Main Stage Fri, Aug 23 7:00 PM

Tyler Braden
Tyler Braden has the gritty powerhouse vocal, the expressive pen and the ability to deliver a lyric with complete conviction worthy of a headliner.  Braden began crafting his sound as a teenager in Slapout, AL, where he demonstrated his mettle playing four-hour cover sets.  He continued to perform between shifts as a firefighter in both Montgomery and Nashville; a set at a homegrown Whiskey Jam concert series in January 2017 paved his path to today.  His Warner Music Nashville EP, Neon Grave, combines deep-rooted country tradition with the rollicking, high-energy instincts of a born rock 'n' roller.  The project's flagship single, "Try Losing One," hit #1 on SiriusXM The Highway's Hot 30 Countdown.  Braden is kicking off 2024 with viral track "Devil You Know" - a won't-back-down anthem that attracted 10+ MILLION views across social media in just two weeks.  With 260 million streams to his name, Braden is now taking stages world-round.  His growing list of tour credits includes Luke Bryan, Brooks & Dunn, Brantley Gilbert, Chris Stapleton, Dierks Bentley and Mitchell Tenpenny.  With studio recordings that pack the punch of his propulsive live performances, Braden's energy and emotion are connecting with fans across the globe.

Drew Parker
Aside from his cowboy hat and boots, Drew Parker is the definition of true country.  He is genuine, honest, and carries an old soul that resonates with many.
It takes some folks 10 years to make a name for themselves in Music City, but in the three short years that Drew Parker has lived in Nashville, TN, he has been able to accomplish things he never dreamed were possible.
Coming from a small, unincorporated town of Stewart, GA (located in Covington, GA), Parker began singing at age 3 in front of small church crowds.  Over the years, he began to build his confidence and, at age 14, he decided to pick up a guitar and teach himself how to play songs from his inspirations, such as Keith Whitley, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Travis Tritt, and Alan Jackson.  At age 18, he expanded his musical abilities and learned to play piano, both of which he still uses today to craft lyrics and rhymes into songs.
Parker made the move to Nashville, TN in 2015 and signed a publishing deal with RiverHouse/WarnerChappell in September of 2017.  He is a co-writer on Luke Combs' debut platinum record "This One For You", Jake Owen's single "Homemade" and Luke Combs' "1 2 Many".
Aside from his cowboy hat and boots, Drew Parker is the definition of true country.  He is genuine,honest, and carries an old soul that resonates with many.  He is on the rise and sees no end in sight.
