Cattle Country Music Festival 2024

Many artists get started when they’re younger, but Eric Church had a regular gig performing at a local bar in his hometown by the time he was a senior in high school. Despite that, he first went on to study at Appalachian State University before deciding that Nashville was where he ultimately needed to be. 

After moving to Music City post-graduation, Church began writing for other artists before catching the eye of Capitol Nashville. His debut album, Sinners Like Me, was released in 2006 and began a steady output with Carolina (2009), Chief (2011), and The Outsiders (2014) and Mr. Misunderstood (2015) following in quick succession. In 2021, he released his seventh studio LP, Heart & Soul, which was a triple album set.

His third album Chief earned Church the ACM Award and CMA Award for Album of the Year in 2011. He also won the ACM Award for Top New Solo Vocalist.

Around that time, Church founded the charitable organization Chief Cares, which helps underprivileged families in Tennessee and Church’s home state of North Carolina.

Famously, Church’s penchant for big, lively performances got him kicked off Rascal Flatts’ tour in 2006. He regularly went over his allotted time and was warned repeatedly to stop. Eventually, Rascall Flatts traded Church for newcomer Taylor Swift. At the time, Church joked that Swift should send him her first gold record for the increased exposure she got. She eventually did, writing him, “Thanks for playing too long and too loud on the Flatts tour. I sincerely appreciate it. Taylor.”

Texas six-piece Whiskey Myers have marked out a sonic patch of turf that feels immediately recognisable as a concoction of Red Dirt and Southern Rock, with a healthy dose of straight-shooting Rock ‘n’ Roll thrown in for good measure.

Yet when you scratch beneath the surface of Whiskey Myers’ most popular tracks, the terrain becomes a lot harder to map. They’re not afraid to stray from the dirt-road tracks and surprise fans with a gospel-infused anthem or a bluesy twist.

Nonetheless, the songs that have gained the most prominence have been the grittier, Skynyrd-inspired anthems, epitomised on blazing tracks such as ‘Rolling Stone’, ‘Die Rockin’’ and ‘Frogman’.

in 2014 with mixed success, but saw their stock rise dramatically when they were chosen to be a part of the hit 

 TV series. Not only did they play on screen, but a number of songs, such as ‘Stone’, have made it onto the show’s hugely popular soundtrack.

This led to their whole catalogue being propelled into the Top Ten of the iTunes Country Chart, and helped to build momentum for a series of emphatic live shows across both the US and the UK.

, in the summer of 2022, a self-produced, guitar-driven and emotionally rich journey through Texas that again found the band testing out exciting new sonic waters.

Over the last few decades, we have learned that country music really is countrywide... or more accurately worldwide. While an overwhelming majority of today's country crop comes by way of the southern region of the U.S., Hailey Whitters has brought a unique flair of midwestern charm to country music since making her first waves in the format in 2020.

Iowa-born and Nashville-based, the rising tunesmith first gained notoriety through her golden pen, notching songwriting credits for the likes of Little Big Town, Marina McBride, Alan Jackson and more. After a decade of grinding it out around town, her breakthrough moment finally came in 2020 with the release of her sophomore album, 

, which found its way onto more than a dozen year-end best of lists. The deluxe edition, 

, saw Whitters commissioning some of her frequent collaborators and friends on five new tracks, including Brent Cobb, Jordan Davis, Trisha Yearwood and Little Big Town, who appeared on the CMT Music Award-winning song 'Fillin' My Cup.'

Following a momentous 2020, the subsequent year took Whitters out on the road with acts like Luke Combs and Midland, as well as saw her notch her first Grammy nomination for Song of the Year for Alicia Keys and Brandi Carlile's 'Beautiful Noise,' written by Whitters with Carlile, Keys, Ruby Amanfu, Brandy Clark, Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna and Linda Perry.

Building off her success thus far, Whitters brought everything to a head in March of 2022 as she released her third album, 

, which features her debut single to country radio, 'Everything She Ain't,' as well as the moody heartbreak departed anthem of 'The Neon' and her ode to the guys who taught her some lessons about love and life on 'Boys Back Home.'

Though still in the beginning stages of what will surely be a lengthy career in the left of country Americana space, Whitters has spent the last few years truly honing in on her craft and her sound, all while growing a dedicated fan base and quite a killer catalog along the way.

Country music, at its core, has always been a menagerie of other genres mixed and swirled together, with a dollop of compelling storytelling plopped right on top.

While some try to confine and contain the genre to a certain list of criteria, there is a wide swathe of artists that seemingly exist to push the boundaries and take country music into places its never been before.

Among that group of trailblazing creatives is The War And Treaty, composed of husband and wife duo of Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter (née Blount).

The powerhouse vocal pairing first appeared in mainstream country music in April of 2021, when they joined Dierks Bentley for a performance of U2's 'Pride (In the Name of Love)' at the 56th ACM Awards, which helped them secure a recording deal with UMG Nashville in May of 2022.

Later that year, they would once again enter country music fans' living rooms as they performed a cover of 'It's Only Rock 'n Roll (But I Like It)' alongside Brothers Osborne at the 56th Annual CMA Awards in November, making history as the first Black husband-and-wife duo to grace the CMA stage.

However, their story goes back further than those fateful performances.

The War and Treaty, originally know as Trotter & Blount, formed in Michigan in 2014. The pair met years earlier at a musical festival as Michael, an army veteran who had used music as a source of solace, was performing. They quickly joining forces to work on songs together, and thus, magic ensued.

With an impassioned delivery and fiery conviction, the duo draws on folk, country, R&B, gospel, rock 'n' roll and everything in between, often combining them all into a scrumptious cocktail dripping in talent.

That talent shown brightly on their early independent label releases, including 

. The latter two landed spots on both the 

 Heatseekers and Independent Albums charts, and earned them the Emerging Act of the Year Award from the Americana Music Association.

After signing with UMG Nashville and later winning the Americana Music Association's 2022 Duo/Group of the Year Award, The War and Treaty's talent was elevated even further as they surprise released their debut EP for the label, 

, on the night of their history-making CMA performance.

Expanding it into their 2023 full-length debut, 

, the duo effortlessly straddle the thin line between Americana and country as they explore just under a dozen genre-blending songs about love, its intentions and their many lessons learned throughout their relationship.

Looking to etch their names among the iconic musical partnerships – think Ashford & Simpson, Johnny Cash and June Carter & Sonny and Cher – The War and Treaty also aim to help people feel again, which is a mission that they fulfill without fail.

If The War and Treaty have any say, there's a revival coming to country music and beyond. Strap in.
