In 2023, Zimmerman released his debut album Religiously. The Album. which arrived as not only the biggest streaming debut for a country album in history, but also the biggest all-genre streaming debut since 2021.

In 2024, Zimmerman continued to dominate the charts with singles "Holy Smokes,” “Holding On” and “New To Country” all of which made a splash. August of 2025 saw the release of Zimmerman’s Sophomore album Different Night Same Rodeo which includes country radio’s #1 hit superstar collaboration “Backup Plan” featuring Luke Combs as well as Top 10 and platinum single “Holy Smokes,” in addition to “New To Country,” “Hell or High Water,” “Holding On,” “Comin’ In Cold,” and more.

About Hudson Westbrook

Hudson Westbrook is a son of Stephenville, Texas, baptized in Red Dirt and raised on George Strait, Turnpike Troubadours, Parker McCollum, Koe Wetzel, and Tracy Lawrence. After a 2024 splash debut with viral first release “Take It Slow,” Westbrook quickly strung together a series of grassroots hits while enrolled at Texas Tech University, including debut Texas radio single and chart-topper, “Two Way Drive,” and debut single to country radio, “House Again.” Revitalizing the organic country he was raised on while refusing to be held down by his roots, Westbrook’s distinct vocal, “traditional country sounds and timeless songwriting” (Billboard) have become his calling card, fully realized on his 17-track debut album, Texas Forever, out now.

Taking the spirit of Texas country music far beyond state lines, Westbrook will open for Parker McCollum, Midland, Eli Young Band, Cole Swindell, and Ian Munsick in 2025, alongside two nearly sold-out headline runs. Amassing over half a billion streams in his first 15 months as an artist, Westbrook was named Billboard’s December Country Rookie of the Month and a 2025 Artist to Watch by Country Now, Holler, The Country Wire, and more. Westbrook started 2025 off strong as SiriusXM The Highway’s newest Highway Find, one of SXM’s all-genre Five for 2025, and one of Spotify’s all-genre 2025 Artists to Watch. Holler puts it simply: "If anyone has made a name for themselves in country in the latter half of 2024, it's Texan singer-songwriter HudsonWestbrook."

About Blake Whiten

Blake Whiten often finds inspiration from his upbringing. Born in Six Mile, South Carolina, where the population hovers below 800 people, the 21-year-old singer-songwriter writes what he knows.

His passion for Country music is evident throughout his descriptive storytelling and the country cover songs he’s shared online. Many of those videos have since gone viral. After his June 2024 cover of Morgan Wallen’s “I Guess” amassed 9 million views on TikTok, managers, record labels, and publishers came calling. Within 24 hours, he was on a flight to Music City.

A 2024 cut with Bailey Zimmerman (“Holding On”) also put him on the map as a songwriter. All the while, Whiten’s solo writes continued to pick up steam. His poignant debut single “Breakin’ My Heart” and massive follow-up, “Rollin’ Stone” (31 million+ cumulative streams since its October 2024 release), highlight his prowess as a songwriter. Both tracks, penned alone, are featured on his independently released 2025 debut EP, Six Mile.

While the six-track EP introduces Whiten as a skilled singer-songwriter wise beyond his years, his new music sets the stage for the country newcomer’s undeniable rise to stardom. The Warner Records recording artist’s latest single, “Made for Goodbyes,” embraces Whiten’s love for sad songs combined with powerhouse vocals, vivid imagery, and haunting musical accompaniment.

Whether it’s his ear-grabbing covers or his unique original songs, listeners and music industry executives are taking notice. Whiten hopes his music impacts listeners. Nearly six years after posting his first cover and tens of millions of views later, Whiten is one step closer.
