I’ve made a short list of some of my personal favorites you won’t regret checking out.

 

Brandon Lay

 

With influences like Alan Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and John Mellencamp it’s no wonder Jackson, Tennessee native Brandon Lay’s single ‘Speakers, Bleachers and Preachers’ was ranked as one of country radio’s most added songs upon its release in 2017 only to follow it up with his latest single ‘Yada, Yada, Yada”.  With relatable lyrics to small town living and great melodies, you are sure to enjoy hanging out at his set with your friends.

 

Carlton Anderson

 

With a voice and sound reminiscent of some greats such as Josh Turner and George Strait this fellow Texan released his first single ‘Drop Everything’ in May of last year. The country star describes his music as, “If I’ve lived it, I can sing about it. If I haven’t lived it, I’m not a good faker.” With his old-school country sound, you will be sure to fall in love with his music.

 

Filmore

 

Six years in the making, Filmore, who mixes pop and some elements of electronic with ardent country songwriting skills, although starting as a band he has settled on becoming a solo artist. The Missouri native’s music can be compared to that of country-pop star Sam Hunt. Filmore’s song ‘Slower’ has reached over 26 million streams on Spotify followed closely by his single ‘Love That About You’ both giving you the summer anthem feels.

 

Jessie James Decker

 

Some of you may know this Southern Bombshell from her 2009 singles ‘Wanted’ and ‘I Look So Good (Without You)’ but what some of you may not know is she’s back to her roots with country music.

With her catchy and upbeat songs such as “Southern Girl City Lights”, “All Filled Up”, and “Lights Down Low”. You will definitely be missing out if you miss her stagecoach performance.
