Recently named ambassadors for Teen Cancer America (a charity founded by The Who’s Roger Daltrey), The Band Perry recently signed a new recording contract, a joint venture with Interscope Records and Mercury Nashville. Their single “Live Forever” was the official song of Team USA at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.
Drew Baldridge: A contemporary country artist whose polished, upbeat music embraces elements of pop and R&B as well as more traditional flavors, Drew Baldridge was born in Patoka, Illinois in 1992. From a young age, Baldridge was singing in church alongside his father. Early on, Baldridge was a fan of both country and pop, enjoying Brooks & Dunn and Eric Church as well as Michael Jackson and the Backstreet Boys, and he quickly became a fixture at talent shows in and around his small hometown. When he was 18, Baldridge made the decision to make a career out of country music. Turning down an athletic scholarship to college, Baldridge moved to Nashville and honed his skills as a performer and songwriter. Baldridge signed recording and publishing deals with THiS Music, releasing his first single, “B.Y.O.B.,” in late 2013. Two more singles followed, “All Good” in November 2013 and “She’s Taken” in April 2014, before he released his first EP, the four-song Crossing Country Lines, in December 2014. A second EP, Crossing Country Lines, Vol. 2, was released in April 2015, and featured two songs that soon became fan favorites: “Dance with Ya” and “God’s Front Porch.” In November 2015, Baldridge signed a new record deal with Cold River Records, and his first release for the label was the Dance with Ya EP, which featured the title song along with four new numbers. In June 2016, Baldridge released his first full-length album through Cold River Records, Dirt on Us. The album contains included 12 tracks, including a duet with Emily Weisband (“Rebound”) and a gospel number sung with his brothers.
Whiskey Dixon: Whiskey Dixon is the premier Top 40 cover New Country band from the St. Louis area. Formed in March of 2008, Whiskey Dixon has quickly moved to the top of the list in the New Country Music genre. The band takes an alternative, edgy approach to the New Country market and has built a steady following.
