About Cole Swindell:
Country music superstar and multi-award winner Cole Swindell released new music from his upcoming fifth studio album, Spanish Moss, for Warner Music Nashville including his current Top 10 and rising radio single “Forever To Me,” and most recently the digital-only releases of “Spanish Moss,” “Kill A Prayer,” “One Day” and “3 Feet Tall,” which Country Now called a “Song of the Year contender” and “one of the most important songs Cole Swindell has ever released.” Spanish Moss will be available on June 27.
Swindell, who Rolling Stone has called “a proven hit-maker,” charted three back-to-back, Platinumcertified, multi-week No. 1 hits off his fourth studio album, Stereotype: “Single Saturday Night,” “Never Say Never” (with Lainey Wilson) and the five-week 3x Platinum chart-topper “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” that garnered three ACM Awards for Single of the Year and Song of the Year (as songwriter and artist), an iHeart Music Award for Country Song of the Year and received a nomination for Musical Event of the Year for “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” with Jo Dee Messina for the 57th CMA Awards. He released a special duet remix of his smash “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” featuring Messina, which has produced multiple award nominations and is included on his deluxe album Stereotype Broken, which also includes his 2023 Top 10 single “Drinkaby.” About Priscilla Block: Country artist Priscilla Block draws listeners in with her unfiltered, relatable songwriting, and catchy melodies. Her honest and up-front approach promotes self-love, empowerment, and acceptance through her own blend of country pop and southern rock, dubbed “the Block Party sound.” Priscilla has cemented her place in country music with her rabid fan base and unmitigated honesty in songs, helping her earn recognitions from the Academy of Country Music (New Female Artist of the Year nomination), CMT Awards (Breakthrough Video of the Year), The New York Times (Best Albums of 2022), and more. Fanfavorite hits include “Just About Over You,” “My Bar,” “Good On You,” and Platinum-certified No. 1 “You, Me, and Whiskey” with country star Justin Moore. Priscilla’s latest release “Yard Sale” is out now with more new music to come in 2025.
About Logan Crosby:
Picture a fresh voice in music that feels like a warm, nostalgic drive through small-town GA, with a sound that’s equal parts soulful storytelling and modern grit. Logan Crosby’s the real deal—a Milledgeville native who grew up soaking in the vibes of legends, while finding his own lane. He’s got that rare knack for spinning personal experiences into songs that hit you right in the chest—think heartbreak, first loves, and sneaking into bars with your buddies, all wrapped up in a voice that’s raw, honest, and impossible to ignore.
This isn’t just some TikTok fluke, though that’s where he first caught fire—Logan’s a legit talent who’s already turned heads as the runner-up on ABC’s Claim to Fame, revealing his roots as Jason Aldean’s cousin. But he’s no nepotism story. Since his breakout single “Run Away With You” dropped in 2023, he’s been building a loyal fanbase. September 2024 brought about the release of his debut album 2019, and he continues to release new music.
