Walker Hayes
Monument Records recording artist Walker Hayes is a singer/songwriter originally from Mobile, Alabama. In 2021, his smash hit "Fancy Like" topped every country music sales and streaming chart, spent more than six months at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart, hit the top 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Songs, hit No. 1 at country radio, and gave Hayes his first Grammy Award nomination as an artist for Best Country Song. The song was also featured in a nationwide Applebee’s commercial. That track, as well as follow up single’s "AA," "Y’all Life," and "Good With Me" have made Hayes one of the top selling and streamed artists in country music. His current project Sober Thoughts includes single "Same Drunk" and saw Hayes partnering with Athletic Brewing on a custom non-alcoholic beer. Hayes just announced his next headlining tour, The Same Drunk Tour, which follows his last arena tours, The Duck Buck Tour and the Glad You’re Here Tour. The Glad You’re Here Tour is the same title as the book Hayes released in 2022 with his best friend, Craig Allen Cooper, detailing his journey to finding Christ.
Parmalee
Known for their distinct family harmony, irresistible melodies, and sure-fire radio favorites, Parmalee has not-so-quietly become one of the genre's most undeniable contemporary country hitmakers. With three consecutive #1 singles in as many years, they have more chart-toppers than any other group in country music. The group - comprised of brothers Matt Thomas (guitar/lead vocals) and Scott Thomas (drums), along with their cousin Barry Knox (bass) and life-long friend Josh McSwain (guitar) - has accumulated more than 1 billion on-demand streams and four total No. 1 country radio singles. Most recently, they topped the charts with "Girl In Mine," which was named Billboard Magazine’s 8th Most Played Country Song of 2023. That song was the follow-up to Billboard’s Most Played Country Song of 2022, "Take My Name." The band landed a multi-platinum smash in 2020 with "Just The Way," a collaboration with Blanco Brown. Their first #1 was a nod to their native state, "Carolina."
Sawyer Brown
When asked what has set Sawyer Brown apart in the music business to account for four decades of success, lead singer and front man Mark Miller answers, "One of the unique things about the band is we don't really have a lot of love songs. We have life songs." Years before the voice and American Idol, there was a star search with ED McMahon. In the first season, an electric and charismatic country-rock band appeared on the show. Taking America by storm. After being told no time after time in Nashville Showcases, Sawyer Brown won over millions of fans with their electrifying TV performances week after week in Hollywood. From ignored underdogs in Music City to overnight rockstars from LA to New York, they swept the competition and won.
Cody Beebe and The Crooks
Cody Beebe and The Crooks are a Northwest Country staple and have been around the block a time or two, touring through 30 US states and 7 European countries over the span of ten years. Known for their progressive rock take on country music, they have found themselves playing Watershed at the Gorge three times, opening for notable acts all over the country, backing Nashville recording artist Austin Jenckes, and even starting their own festival as a result of their die-hard fanbase, Chinook Fest. With a new-found energy and fresh songs, the band assures "you really ain't seen nothin' yet."
