About Jelly Roll:

Multi Award-winning, 4x GRAMMY® nominated Nashville native singer/songwriter Jelly Roll (Jason DeFord) claimed the #1 spot on the Billboard 200 All Genre Chart with his critically acclaimed 2024 album, Beautifully Broken — which earned the highest critical praise of his career so far from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Associated Press, NPR and more. The release concluded his most successful year yet and followed his sold-out US Beautifully Broken Arena Tour.

Just a year earlier, Jelly debuted in the Top 3 on the Billboard 200 All Genre Chart and #2 on the Top Country Album charts with his debut country album, Whitsitt Chapel (released June 2nd, 2023) - earning the biggest country debut album in Billboard Consumption Chart history. Following his sweep at the 2023 CMT Music Awards, CMA Awards, People’s Choice Awards, People’s Choice Country Awards, “country’s ‘most authentic’ new artist” (The New Yorker) continued his award-show domination into 2024, winning big at the iHeartRadio Awards and the ACM Awards, before scoring his first two GRAMMY nominations. In 2025, the multi-genre phenomenon - currently nominated for three ACM Awards including Entertainer of the Year - cemented his rise, having already won Country Artist of the Year at this year’s iHeartRadio Music Awards and notched two more GRAMMY nominations. Before hitting the road for Post Malone’s 2025 BIG ASS STADIUM TOUR and BIG ASS WORLD TOUR, Jelly scored his seventh #1 at country radio in the US with the six-week chart-topper “Liar,” bringing his career total up to nine #1s including: “Liar” (country/rock radio), “I Am Not Okay,” “Chevrolet” - Dustin Lynch feat. Jelly Roll, “Halfway To Hell,” “Save Me,” “Need A Favor,” “Son of A Sinner” and “Dead Man Walking” (rock radio). Now, Jelly’s spurring “Heart of Stone” - the third radio single from his Beautifully Broken record - is currently climbing the country radio charts.

“One of Nashville’s fastest rising stars” (The New York Times), he continues to break boundaries. Not just an artist but a humanitarian, Jelly continues to resonate with fans on a global scale, while racking up numerous milestones - from playing his sold-out hometown show for 18,000 fans at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena to donating a recording studio at the juvenile detention center he served in as a teen, to the release of his record-breaking documentary by ABC News, Save Me - the most watched music documentary on the platform - to his visits with rehab centers and those incarcerated across the US. Featured by Nightline, GMA, GMA3, The New York Times, GQ, LA Times, The Tennessean, Billboard, Variety, American Songwriter, CMT and more, his self-built, unconventional industry rise and unique fan connection has garnered praise from numerous outlets, with Variety noting, “for everyone who’s facing the same struggles, Jelly Roll is their Springsteen,” and American Songwriter echoing, “with a string of accolades and an extremely dedicated following, Jelly Roll has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.”

About Shaboozey:

6X GRAMMY® nominated singer-songwriter Shaboozey is building his own world, carving a lane in the alternative country and hip-hop space. Born to parents of Nigerian descent and raised in the small town of Woodbridge, VA, the multi-faceted artist grew up on an eclectic mix of music encompassing classic hip-hop and R&B, to country and blues icons like Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, Garth Brooks, and Lead Belly, to master lyricists, such as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen.

A true crossover artist, he began his epic rise to stardom with two standout features on Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER—the only artist with multiple appearances on the album. His latest body of work, the critically acclaimed RIAA-gold certified masterpiece Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 and was praised by Rolling Stone for “honouring country tradition and moving it forward.” NPR calls him “the future of country music,” and the Los Angeles Times crowned him as “the breakout country artist of the year.” The album’s breakthrough anthem, the 6X RIAA-Platinum certified, “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” holds the record for the longest-leading Hot 100 No. 1 while also topping Billboard’s Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay

Chart, and Mediabase/Country Aircheck charts. The single has accumulated over a billion streams across DSPs and made history making Shaboozey the first Black male artist to simultaneously top Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and Hot 100. He earned nominations for the 2025 GRAMMY® Awards in the general field (Best New Artist & Song of the Year), country (Best Country Song & Best Country Solo Performance), and rap (Best Melodic Rap Performance) categories. He won the New Artist of 2024 and New Artist Song of 2024 awards at the People’s Choice Country Awards, garnered Best New Artist and Song of the Summer nominations at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, and was nominated for New Artist of the Year and Single of the Year at the 2024 Country Music Association Awards. He was also named a TIME100 NEXT honouree and Billboard Country Power Player.

Highlighting not only his musical vision but also his commitment to influencing modern culture, Shaboozey debuted his collaboration for YSL Beauty’s MYSLF Le Parfum for a groundbreaking campaign. Honouring his Virginia roots, Shaboozey continues the region’s long-standing tradition of prolific creativity by expanding the scope of contemporary hip-hop, introducing modern Americana to a global audience, and bringing a unique sense of artistry to the world. His debut headline tour “Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going” sold out in every market and he has played arenas across the US as part of Jelly Roll’s “Beautifully Broken” tour.

About Drew Baldridge:

Drew Baldridge has built more than just a successful career—he’s made history. His breakout hit, “She’s Somebody’s Daughter,” became the first independently released single to reach No. 1 on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase chart as an artist’s first chart-topper, released via his own Lyric Ridge Records. Now RIAA Gold-certified, the viral ballad has generated more than 1.1 billion streams and impressions across platforms and remains the highest-charting self-funded song ever on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. The success of “She’s Somebody’s Daughter” led to a deal with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville/Stoney Creek, where Baldridge followed up with his second Top 10 single “Tough People.” His newest release, “Get Me Gone” featuring Emily Ann Roberts, previews more music to come.

Baldridge was recently named to the CRS New Faces Class of 2025, selected as an iHeart On the Verge artist, and honored as MusicRow’s Independent Artist of the Year. A songwriter signed to Sony Music Publishing, Drew Baldridge has written over 500 songs, recorded by artists including Bailey Zimmerman, LOCASH, and Chase Matthew. He has toured with country stars such as Eric Church, Cody Johnson, Jason Aldean, and Luke Bryan, and is currently on the road with Zimmerman, with another run alongside Johnson planned for later this year. Internationally, Baldridge will join Jelly Roll and Shaboozey on the Down Under Tour 2025, before launching his first overseas headlining trek, Country Born Tour 2025, in the UK and Europe this winter.
