Big Machine recording artist Lauren Jenkins has been a touring artist since she was 15 years old. Named an Artist to Watch by the New York Times, Billboard, Rolling Stone, Pandora, and many more, she was also chosen as a member of the “Class of 2019” by influential radio DJ Bobby Bones, and made her TODAY Show debut as Elvis Duran’s Artist of the Month in February. Lauren recently completed writing, co-producing, and starring in an original short film titled “Running out of Road” that accompanied the release of her debut album NO SAINT, available now.
With a swampy-infused Country sound Shreveport, LA native Dan Smalley has been playing music for more than 24 years and writing his own songs for the last 12. His muse helped find meaning in music as inspiration poured in from the Country & Western swing of honky-tonks, impassioned Gospel from church pews, natural inclinations of Rhythm & Blues and bonfire buzzes of Classic Rock. His tone resembles some of the greatest in Country music history and offers a fresh take while remaining rooted in traditional musicianship. Over the past decade, he has been on the road with Dwight Yoakam, Tim McGraw, Justin Moore, Billy Currington, Craig Morgan, Randy Rogers Band, The Turnpike Troubadours and more.
Raised in the Appalachian foothills of the Carolinas, Phillip Lammonds was immersed in music. As a boy, he listened to his father sing gospel songs on his grandfather’s Sunday morning radio show and spent hours stretched out alongside the upright piano while his aunts practiced for the Pentecostal service. Not that he just plays guitar. Lammonds is a musical virtuoso of sorts, equally gifted at playing mandolin and other stringed instruments.
He signed a publishing deal with Curb Records in Nashville and has written songs with or for artists like Darius Rucker, Lee Brice, Edwin McCain, Blake Shelton, Craig Morgan, Josh Turner and Hootie and the Blowfish, among others.
