Lauren Alaina Country Pop
Grand Ole Opry member and Big Loud Records powerhouse Lauren Alaina is unveiling a new musical chapter with the 2025 releases of “Those Kind of Women,” “Household” and “All MyExes (feat. Chase Matthew)”– out now. Signaling more new music on the horizon, these releases are the first tastes of new music since her six-song 2023 EP Unlocked. Alaina has earned three chart-topping hits: RIAA Platinum-certified “Road Less Traveled,” Diamond “What Ifs” with her childhood friend Kane Brown, and 3X Platinum “ONE BEER” with labelmate HARDY + Devin Dawson. With the Brown duet, Alaina became the only solo country female artist in history to receive the RIAA's Diamond certification on a single. The Georgia-born force, whom American Songwriter notes is “on a seemingly limitless upward trajectory,” has also shared the stage with Alan Jackson, Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Martina McBride, and more. This year, she joins the much-anticipated Rascal Flatts Life Is A Highway Tour. The vocalist has performed on some of the highest-profile stages in the world including PBS' A Capitol Fourth, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, CBS' Beyond The Edge, ABC's The Bachelorette, TODAY, Good Morning America, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, ABC's CMA Fest specials, CMA and ACM Awards, Nickelodeon's All That, Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Day halftime performance, MLB's World Series national anthem performance, a performance at the White House for President Obama, and more.
Hannah Harper Country
Hannah Harper embarked on her musical journey at just 9 years old. Growing up in Southeast Missouri, she was part of a family steeped in the rich traditions of bluegrass gospel music, with the legacy of Bob Lewis and The Bob Lewis Family as her foundation. This musical heritage, passed down through generations, set the stage for Hannah's early exposure to music.
Traveling with her family, The Harper Family, honed her musical talents and developed a profound passion for songwriting and music ministry. Taking a position as worship leader at a small church in Missouri brought a new chapter in her life — it’s where she met her husband, Devon. They married in 2018 and soon began building a family. Now a mom of three little boys, Hannah and Devon live a quaint life in a little white house in the woods, balancing family, faith, and music.
Now an aspiring songwriter, Hannah combines years of performing experience with her unique personal insights. Her music often reflects her life's journey, including her heartfelt tribute to motherhood in the song “String Cheese.” While balancing musical aspirations with the joys and challenges of raising a family, Hannah remains committed to authenticity and excellence in her craft.
Hannah is poised to make a significant impact as she steps into her solo career, eager to explore new opportunities and continue her artistic journey.

Micro Wrestling Wrestling
The Micro Wrestling Federation is a high-flying, professional wrestling promotion supported by an entire cast under five feet tall. Founded in 2000, the MWF is the longest running organization within the Little Person wrestling industry; no other company has performed in more events since our inception. The Micro Wrestling Federation has been imitated without success as we are the original “MICRO” professional wrestling organization.
Our reality show "Big Little Brawlers" aired on the Discovery Channel on January 9, 2024 at 10pm; you can watch episodes on Discovery, Discovery Plus, and Max. The Micro Wrestlers have been featured in Sports Illustrated Magazine, Country Music Television, and the WWE. There is no denying that the Micro Wrestling Federation is the number one Little Person wrestling organization on the planet - high-flying, body slamming, and off the top rope!
The Micro Wrestling Federation performs 500+ shows a year from coast-to-coast including 4 shows a week at our own 350-seat mini arena in Pigeon Forge, TN!
The Microtorium of Pigeon Forge is located at 185 East Wears Valley Rd in the Shops of Pigeon Forge (the same plaza as the ExoRent, Cooter's, and Dollar Tree). The Micro Wrestling show is an all-ages event that is great fun for the entire family. Shows are Wednesday – Saturday from 5pm - 7pm; doors open 60 minutes before showtime.

The Brook &amp; The Bluff Folk Rock
The Brook &amp; The Bluff return to their rock &amp; roll roots with Werewolf - a high-voltage, live-inspired album that turns up the amps, pushes the tempo, and howls in four-part harmony. Fueled by the sharp songwriting and stacked vocals that have defined their catalog, the collection captures the raw, supercharged energy of the band’s concerts.
After nearly a decade of nonstop touring - earning hundreds of millions of streams with fan favorites like “Halfway Up” and “Everything Is Just a Mess” - the band regrouped in Nashville, meeting every morning to write and rehearse like their early days in Birmingham, Alabama. Life unfolded in the background: weddings, divorces, real-world growing pains. Inside the room, it was all music.
The band channels the swamp rock spirit of legendary artists like Creedence, Petty, and The Eagles, delivering loud, melodic, deeply human songs like lead single “Super Bowl Sunday” - a crashing, introspective anthem about ego and emotional blind spots. “The goal was to treat the record like a live set,” says frontman Joseph Settine. And that’s exactly what they’ve done.
Armed with a new album and an unflinching spirit, The Brook &amp; The Bluff are ready to hit the road again to continue their 2026 Werewolf tour. The band boasts a history of sold out headline tours across the continent, a number of major festival performances, and have supported artists like Noah Kahan, Mt. Joy, The Avett Brothers, Ashe, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise.
RYMAN Folk
Nashville-born singer-songwriter RYMAN is carving out a lane of his own at the intersection of indie folk, alternative country, and indie pop — a sound he lovingly calls “Barn Pop” and “Y’allternative.” Blending heart-on-the-sleeve storytelling with infectious melodies and modern folk-pop production, RYMAN is quickly emerging as one of the most compelling new voices in Nashville’s growing indie-folk scene.
His debut album, Growing Pains, arriving July 31, 2026, captures the emotional uncertainty, self-discovery, and growing pains that come with navigating change in early adulthood. Across the album’s 11 tracks, RYMAN pairs deeply reflective lyricism with an expansive, melodic sound inspired by the emotional honesty of classic country songwriting and the modern sensibilities of artists like Medium Build and Role Model.
Born into a musical family, RYMAN began creating melodies at just three years old. He started writing songs in his early teens and signed his first record deal before graduating high school. While his earliest releases explored a more pop-forward direction, RYMAN ultimately found his artistic center through vulnerable folk-pop songwriting rooted in sharp storytelling and emotional transparency.
RYMAN has toured alongside Role Model, Mon Rovîa, Stella Lefty, Joshua Slone, Ben Kweller, and Haffway, and is slated to appear at festivals including Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Borderland Music Festival, Bourbon &amp; Beyond, and AMERICANAFEST in 2026.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/159443/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Daniel Donato Country
There are a lot of musical influences and sources that Daniel Donato has drawn on during his career and that inform his latest album, Horizon (Retrace Music), his second all-original album. But within those, Donato has carved out a unique and individualized spot for himself, one that speaks to the deep American music heritage that inspires him — and that he’s pushing towards the future with inspired, intentional vigor.
He calls it Cosmic Country, a moniker that’s both self-descriptive and a statement of purpose. It’s an organic rock band aesthetic with plenty of roadhouse twang; a showcase for Donato’s instrumental virtuosity and facility for melodically infectious songcraft. Bridging Nashville and the Great West, Kentucky and mid-60s northern California, tie-dye and plaid, it’s a world of his own, and a wide world of musical adventure at that.
While growing up in Nashville his his father, who turned his young son on to music of all genres, suggested the fledgling and industriously minded (even at just 14) artist start busking in Nashville’s lower Broadway area and outside concerts, for eight hours at a time on the weekends. One night, the two happened by Robert’s Western World where legendary honky-tonk local mainstay the Don Kelly Band were performing. Donato eventually became a member of the band, playing four hours a night at Robert’s (464 shows in total).
Horizons is the follow up to 2023’s Reflector, which received critical acclaim from a wide range of press, including No Depression, Glide Magazine, Magnet Magazine, and more. Donato the subject of features in Rolling Stone, UPROXX, Garden &amp; Gun and Relix. Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country made their network television debut on CBS Saturday Morning and appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s #LateShowMeMusic online series.
The whole package of player, singer, writer and band leader was in place. Three albums in, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, featuring Nathan “Sugarlegg” Aronowitz (keyboards/guitars/vocals), Will “Mustang” McGee (bass/vocals) and Will “Bronco” Clark (drums, percussion/vocals) are selling out venues throughout the country and bringing their brand of Cosmic Country to an ever growing, passionate fanbase.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/159444/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

GWAR Heavy Metal
The story of GWAR is carved across the history of this hopeless planet, but GWAR themselves are not of this world… Their story begins far past Uranus, in the deepest reaches of space, where the beings known as GWAR were warriors in the Scumdogs of the Universe, an elite fighting force in the army of the Master of All Reality. But GWAR proved too reckless and powerful, and after a series of tragic but hilarious blunders, they were banished to the furthest reaches of the galaxy, with orders to conquer an insignificant backwater prehistoric mud ball known as the planet Earth. Once here, GWAR, the original Ancient Aliens, shaped the face of the globe, wiping out the dinosaurs, and mating with apes to create the human race. Having accidentally given rise to all human history, the Master of All Reality froze them in Antarctic ice where they could do no more harm. It was there they were discovered by a shady entrepreneur known as Sleazy P Martini, who sat the band down in front of professional wrestling, late-night horror movies, heavy metal music, and a steady diet of crack cocaine until GWAR became the cultural force they are today!

Tab Benoit Blues
Tab Benoit is a 4x Grammy nominated singer, songwriter and guitarist who has built a remarkable 30+ year career on the foundation of his gritty and soulful Delta swamp blues, acquiring a devoted legion of fans along the way, as well as 5 Blues Music Awards, including BB King Entertainer of the Year (twice) and an induction into The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.
After a 13-year hiatus, Tab is back with his latest effort, I Hear Thunder, on his own label, Whiskey Bayou Records. The new album was his first #1 in the Billboard charts in over 30 years. Read more about it in Billboard here. Benoit's 2013 release, Medicine, was co-produced with Anders Osborne for Concord International, and garnered three Blues Music Awards. Following this notable success, Benoit took a step away from music, taking a 13-year sabbatical from recording and entering a period of creative exile.
Tab's accomplishments as a musician are matched only by his devotion to the environmental health of his native Louisiana wetlands. The notoriety achieved by his success provided him with a mouthpiece to promote his growing concern for the Louisiana Wetlands and coastal erosion from the region he calls home. Benoit is the founder and driving force behind Voice of the Wetlands, an organization working to preserve the coastal waters of his home state. In 2010, he received the Governor's Award for Conservationist of the Year from the Louisiana Wildlife Federation. Benoit has also starred in the iMax motion picture Hurricane on the Bayou, a documentary of Hurricane Katrina's effects and a call to protect and restore the Wetlands.
Benoit has recorded and/or performed with Junior Wells, George Porter Jr, Dr. John, Willie Nelson, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Billy Joe Shaver, Maria Muldaur, James Cotton, Cyril Neville, Kenny Aronoff, Allen Toussaint, Kim Wilson, Jimmy Thackery, Charlie Musslewhite, Kenny Neal, Chris Layton, Ivan Neville, Jimmy Hall, Jim Lauderdale, Anders Osborne, and Alvin Youngblood Hart to name a few.
Jesse Dayton Americana
Jesse Dayton stands as one of the most dynamic figures in modern American music, seamlessly blending Texas blues, outlaw country, and punk rock into a sound uniquely his own. Hailing from Beaumont, Texas, Dayton’s storied career spans decades and includes collaborations with legends like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson, as well as modern icons such as Samantha Fish and Duff McKagan. From his days fronting the Road Kings to composing for Rob Zombie’s cult films, Dayton has built a legacy of fearless artistry and relentless energy.
His latest album, The Hard Way Blues, produced by Grammy-winner Shooter Jennings, debuted at #2 on the Billboard Blues Albums chart, earning acclaim for its raw storytelling and electrified guitar work. Dayton also earned a Grammy nomination for his collaboration with Samantha Fish on Death Wish Blues, further cementing his place in the roots music world.
Now, Dayton embarks on a new chapter with the Texas Headhunters, a dynamic new band featuring Ian Moore, Johnny Moeller, and a stellar lineup of supporting musicians. Rooted in Texas blues and honoring the rich musical history of the Lone Star State, the Texas Headhunters are set to release their debut album in 2025, bringing a fresh energy to the blues for a new generation.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/159449/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Bodysnatcher Death Metal/Black Metal
Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home is the fourth full-length from Melbourne, FL deathcore outfit Bodysnatcher. It follows 2024’s brutal Will Putney-produced EP, Vile Conduct and serves up another powerful barrage of uncompromising deathcore across 10 incredible tracks that see the four-piece—Kyle Medina (vocals), Kyle Carter (guitar), Kyle Shope (bass) and Chris Whited (drums)—turn the catharsis up as loud and as visceral as it will go.
Of course, that’s nothing new for the band. If you’ve heard Vile Conduct, or any of the three albums that preceded it—2017’s Death of Me, 2020’s The Heavy Void or 2022’s Bleed-Abide—you’ll know this is a band who have always pitted themselves against personal tragedy, who have fought on individual levels against the dark depths of a despair (often inspired by their own experiences of death). Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home is no less harrowing.
“The band has always had roots lyrically in themes of betrayal, overcoming hardship, and moving on from things that happen in life and how to cope with them,” explains Medina. “Ever since the inception of Bodysnatcher, that was the theme. I do think, though, as the band has matured and we as people have grown, so have the ways to dig into the themes more. With more life experience, there are more things to draw from.”
Yet while this is still a viciously personal record, Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home is also a dark reflection of the world at large, and its current dystopia. It doesn’t just dwell on what’s happening, though. It lashes out at the way things are with a terrible, violent rage.
“I’d say a lot of today’s world plays into this album,” says Whited. “We really feel that listeners across the globe can find something to connect with in these songs. There’s a strong sense of retaliation this time around; it feels like choosing violence, fighting back against a world that feels morally lost right now.“
That manifests itself from the very beginning of this record, from the opener “The Maker.” A sheer assault of rage, noise, and skull-crushing riffs, it multiplies Bodysnatcher’s intensity to a degree that, even by their already intense standards, is off the charts. “'The Maker' is a raw, visceral song,” says Shope. “Bodysnatcher has always been known for unrelenting heaviness, but ‘The Maker’ seems to be an even darker, more intense direction. Revenge and retaliation are themes we often use in our lyrics, however ‘The Maker’ is a more direct approach. This song is as heavy as we could make it, and I know the energy is going to be electric when it is played live.
That direct darkness continues throughout the entirety of the next nine songs, from the unforgiving vengeance of “Writhe And Coil” and “Violent Obsession” through to the blistering defiance of “Blade Between The Teeth” and “Survive Or Die.” The latter features vocals from Scott Vogel, the frontman of hardcore legends Terror, a band very close to Bodysnatcher’s blackened heart. It follows the previous impressive cameo on Vile Conduct by Hatebreed’s Jamey Jasta.
“Scott Vogel is such a pivotal and legendary voice in hardcore and heavy music,” says Medina. “Many of us in the band grew up listening to Terror, so having him appear on a song is huge for us in terms of morale and making the album feel even stronger. We had the idea when we were thinking of another voice come from the hardcore side of where the band draws from; we had Jasta on the previous EP, so we thought of another that is of equal stature, and were able to make it happen.”<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/159448/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>
