About Cody Johnson
Country superstar Cody Johnson has earned multiple ACM and CMA Awards nominations as well as numerous RIAA platinum and gold singles and album certifications that now tally 14. Johnson’s worldwide streams increased by nearly one billion in 2021, growing from two billion to over 3.7 billion streams, averaging 35 million streams per week.

“’Til You Can’t” landed as his first #1 radio single taking the top spot on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase charts and is a RIAA Platinum and gold-certified single. The song remained at the top for two consecutive weeks; five weeks in Canada; 9x #1 on Billboard Hot Country Songs six weeks in a row; Top 20 on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 chart; multi-week Country Aircheck #1 radio single; #1 spots on SiriusXM’s HOT 30 Weekend, the MusicRow CountryBreakout chart and Shazam’s Country Chart. To date, “’Til You Can’t” has logged over 330 million global streams and counting since its release with nearly two million U.S. track equivalents to date.

At the close of 2021, his 18-track double album Human received tremendous media praise making “best-of” year-end lists with All Music (Favorite Country Albums of 2021, Human), Billboard (15 Best Country Songs of 2021, “’Til You Can’t”), Holler (Country Records of the Year, Human), New York Times (Best Album of 2021, Human), Saving Country Music Best Mainstream Country Albums of 2021, Human), Taste of Country (Best Country Albums of 2021, Human and Top Country Songs of 2021, “’Til You Can’t”), Yardbarker’s (Country Music’s Biggest Breakout Stars of 2021) and more.

Human follows his first major-label release, Ain’t Nothin’ to It, which skyrocketed to No. 1 on both the Billboard Top Country Albums and All-Genre Digital Sales charts, also reaching Top 10 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. It also made history as the third-highest pre-added album of all time in the country music genre on Apple Music at the time of release and has since been certified Gold.

About Chris Janson
Chris Janson, proud member of the Grand Ole Opry and multi-platinum songwriter and artist, is part of country’s new breed. In touch with the lighter side of life with self-penned No. 1s “Fix A Drink,” “Good Vibes,” and the triple-platinum “Buy Me A Boat,” as well as the more thoughtful truths of “Done,” “Things You Can’t Live Without,” and the CMA Song of the Year nominee and ACM Video of the Year “Drunk Girl.”

Both “Boat” and “Girl” were named to the Nashville Songwriters Association International’s prestigious “Songs I Wish I Wish I’d Written” list, which is why artists like Tim McGraw (“Truck Yeah,” “How I’ll Always Be”), Justin Moore (“Off The Beaten Path”), Cody Johnson (“Let’s Build A Fire”), and the iconic Hank Williams Jr. (“God Fearin’ Man,” “Those Days Are Gone”) reach for Janson’s songs for their own projects.

Beyond his artistry are his live shows, where all that heart-on-the-four-wheeler songwriting meets the fans where they come to rock. Rolling Stone proclaimed him “a live legacy in the making,” and Janson is a frequent presence at the nation’s biggest country festivals, tours, and unexpected sit-ins.

For a man known for his outdoor lifestyle and collaborations with Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s, making music from his own life has established the harmonica-forward multi-instrumentalist the go-to guy for young country for the last decade. Janson is currently headlining his 2023 tour while his BMLG debut single, “All I Need Is You,” is his most-added radio hit to date.

About Drew Parker
A two-way singer-songwriter, Warner Music Nashville’s Drew Parker’s co-written hits include Luke Combs’ Gold certified “Lonely One,” Platinum certified “1,2 Many” (featuring Brooks & Dunn), BMI Song of the Year winner “Forever After All” and the GRAMMY-nominated Platinum Number One, “Doin This” – plus Jake Owen’s Gold-certified Number One, “Homemade.”

Racking up more than 80 million career streams with gutsy anthems like “While You’re Gone,” Parker remains committed to carving out space for “regular country folks” in the mainstream, and it’s never mattered what everyone else was doing.

The follow-up to his While You’re Gone EP from 2020, his new EP At the End of the Dirt Road finds Parker staying true as always, and continuing to lead country’s back-to-basics revival. But while success has made his roots in Nashville deeper than ever, not everything is the same.

Now a father and feeling the weight of that blessing, his latest work reflects a new, more mature personal chapter.
