Parker McCollum
Singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Parker McCollum has reached the ranks of a bona fide Country music superstar by connecting with fans and critics alike through his relatable and authentic sound. His most recent album, Never Enough (released on May 12, 2023 via MCA Nashville), is a statement collection of music that cements his status as one of Country’s strongest new voices. Currently on his massive Burn It Down Tour throughout 2024, McCollum will be performing at some of the most iconic venues around the nation and appearing at Country music’s top music festivals. McCollum has been named an ‘Artist to Watch’ by Rolling Stone, Billboard, SiriusXM, CMT, RIAA, and more with American Songwriter noting, “The Texas native teeters on the edge of next-level superstardom.” Music Row listed McCollum as their 2021 Breakout Artist of the Year and Apple also included him as one of their all-genre “Up Next Artists” Class of 2021. A dedicated road warrior, McCollum made his debut at the famed Grand Ole Opry in 2021 and has sold out major concert venues around the U.S. In March 2022, McCollum made his debut at RODEOHOUSTON to a sold-out crowd with over 73,000 tickets sold, returning to perform at the Opening Day celebration in 2023. He recently made a dream come true with his first-ever Austin City Limits performance, kicking off their 2023 season. In 2022, McCollum earned his first ACM Award for New Male Artist of the Year, took home “Breakthrough Video of the Year” (a fully fan-voted honor) at the 2022 CMT Music Awards and scored two back-to-back CMA Awards nominations (2022 & 2023) for New Artist of the Year. He is nominated for another CMA Award for “Song of the Year” (2024) for his explosive Platinum hit “Burn It Down” – marking his third straight nomination. Recently, McCollum scored his second ACM Award for “Visual Media of the Year” for his music video for “Burn It Down.” The hit single marks his fourth consecutive #1 – following his other chart toppers “Pretty Heart,” “To Be Loved By You,” and “Handle On You.” McCollum’s latest single, the foot-stomping, shoot-it-straight, “What Kinda Man,” shows his return to the musical Texas roots that got him started. “What Kinda Man” is available now.

Vincent Mason
“Expansive artistry framed by relatable storytelling and warm sonics” (Earmilk) Vincent Mason has honed his craft for songwriting since grabbing a guitar just a few short years ago. Growing up right outside of Atlanta in Roswell, Georgia, he realized very early on how much
he loved lyrics and quickly became fascinated with the art of writing a good song.
Fusing his influences like Parker McCollum and John Mayer, his southern country side blends perfectly with the singer-songwriter’s pop sensibilities – creating a fresh new sound that’s becoming incredibly popular in the genre. Amassing over 125 million streams across
platforms, the 24-year-old taps into his life experiences to curate a narrative true to country storytelling. His smash hit from his latest EP Can’t Just Be Me, “Hell is a Dance Floor” has been a huge breakout moment, garnering millions of streams. The song has received
support from major editorial playlists, including Spotify’s Hot Country and Apple Music’s Country Risers, among many others. This summer, John Mayer included his latest release, “Heart Like This” on his Sirius XM show – speaking positively about hearing the track.
He toured alongside Parker McCollum, Ashley Cooke, and Niko Moon and has been direct support for Gavin Adcock’s entire summer and fall tours. This summer he was on the bill for several dates with Luke Bryan as well as a slot opening for Miranda Lambert. With more music on the way, this passionate writer and artist sets out to stay true to his influences and his story to deliver a powerful message through his music to his growing audience.
