ABOUT THE EVENT

Max McNown writes songs that feel both timeless and deeply personal — capturing the heartbreak, hope, and beauty of growing up.

The 24-year-old Oregon native taught himself guitar only a few years ago, busking on the beaches of Southern California before quickly building an online following and releasing his breakout single “A Lot More Free.” The song has since gone Platinum, hit #1 on TikTok’s Breakthrough USA chart, and launched Max to the top of Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart.

Since then, McNown has released his debut album Wandering, the Willfully Blind EP, and his acclaimed records, Night Diving, and Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up), which reached Top 5 on the iTunes Country Albums chart. His certified Gold album track “Better Me For You (Brown Eyes)” has proven as his next hit song, landing his highest charting position on the Billboard Hot 100 and hitting #1 on iTunes Country Songs Chart. Along the way he’s sold out his first headline tour in hours, made his television debut on The Kelly Clarkson Show, performed at the Grand Ole Opry, and been named a 2025 Artist to Watch by Amazon Music, Holler, and Country Now.

With his warm vocals, honest storytelling, and a sound rooted in folk and country but unafraid of new directions, McNown has earned comparisons to the genre’s most compelling voices while carving out a lane that’s entirely his own. Now touring internationally and playing major festivals with almost 1 Billion streams to his name, he continues to connect with fans who find themselves reflected in his songs—and reminds us that even the hardest parts of life can be met with resilience, hope, and love.

George Birge

With a powerhouse run of chart-climbing hits, RECORDS Nashville artist-songwriter George Birge is charging full speed toward Country stardom. After scoring a Country radio No. 1 with the first single he ever released (2024’s “Mind On You”), the Austin native almost instantly repeated that feat with his chart-topping follow-up “Cowboy Songs.” Along with his two back-to-back No. 1s, Birge’s acclaimed catalog now includes his 2023 debut album George Birge: Mind On You as well as standout tracks like “It Won’t Be Long” — a 2025 single which surged to No. 2 on the Country radio charts and cracked the all-genre Billboard Hot 100. With 217 million global streams to date, he’s recently hit major milestones like making his TV debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and garnering a nomination at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards. As a torchbearer for classic Country storytelling, his timeless musicianship and Texas charm have also earned him praise from the likes of American Songwriter, who declared that “George Birge has a talent for taking a simple concept and turning it into an in-depth song.” With his live experience including serving as direct support on Country superstar Luke Bryan’s COUNTRY SONG CAME ON TOUR in 2025, performing at leading festivals like Stagecoach and Crash My Playa, and touring with heavy-hitters like Dylan Scott and Parker McCollum, Birge is now commanding

Tyler Braden

Tyler Braden is many things all at once. The Platinum-certified Alabama-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist is a classic Country troubadour whose storytelling strikes an intimate chord. At the same time, he’s an energetic showman who can rile up a crowd with a blast of electric guitar and a stadium-size singalong. His voice booms with soul, his riffs rock with gusto, and his songwriting teems with truth. That’s why he’s quietly asserted himself as a “country powerhouse,” according to American Songwriter. Throughout high school in Slapout, AL, he transformed into a formidable performer by captivating local crowds with marathon cover gigs. Years later, holding down a job as a firefighter, he wrote and recorded at every chance possible.

After introducing himself with “Little Red Wine,” he gained traction with a series of singles and 2021’s What Do They Know EP. Two years later, he served up the Neon Grave EP, highlighted by the standout “Try Losing One,” which catapulted to #1 on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Weekend Countdown. However, he really leveled up on 2024’s “DEVIL YOU KNOW.” Not only did the latter eclipse 335 MILLION global streams, it also earned a PLATINUM-certification from the RIAA. Billboard hailed its “automatic authenticity,” going on to attest, “The sound is dangerous.” Additionally, he received acclaim from People, Taste of Country, Country Now, and more. He notably lit up venues with everyone from Luke Bryan, Brooks & Dunn, and Dierks Bentley to Brothers Osborne, Warren Zeiders, and Darius Rucker. With nearly 1 BILLION global career streams, countless SOLD-OUT shows, and releasing 2025’s introspective debut album, devil and a prayer, momentum carries the powerhouse vocalist full-steam ahead into 2026 as he steps into his next project – due in the first half of 2026.
