2026 Sponsors

Anthony Smith

Anthony Smith is an award-winning singer-songwriter and touring performer. His critically acclaimed debut album, If That Ain’t Country, produced three Billboard Top 40 singles. As a songwriter, he has earned MusicRow’s prestigious Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year award, along with multiple BMI, ASCAP, and NSAI honors.

More than 250 of his songs have been recorded or performed by some of the biggest names in country music, including George Strait, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, Faith Hill, Trace Adkins, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Montgomery Gentry, Trisha Yearwood, Kenny Rogers, Randy Houser, Jamey Johnson, Don Williams, Ronnie Milsap, Lorrie Morgan, Porter Wagoner, and many more.

Michael Farren

Grammy-nominated and multiple Dove Award-winning songwriter and producer Michael Farren moved to Nashville from Texas 16 years ago after releasing three albums with his band Pocket Full of Rocks on Word Records. In 2012, after years of touring, he shifted his focus to songwriting and production.

Raised with a deep love for music of all kinds, Michael has penned hundreds of songs across multiple genres. His credits include Lauren Daigle’s Grammy-nominated, platinum single “Trust In You”, Reba McEntire’s Grammy-winning album title track “Sing It Now”, and Christine D’Clario’s Dove Award-winning Spanish album Eterno Live. His first commercial cut, the global worship anthem “Let It Rain,” appeared on Michael W. Smith’s RIAA-certified double platinum album Worship. Over the past two decades, his songs have been performed by artists such as Natalie Grant, Mandisa, Blind Boys of Alabama, Big Daddy Weave, Aaron Shust, Darlene Zschech, and CityAlight.

When he’s not fishing or exploring the woods in his Jeep, Michael lives in Franklin, TN with his wife, Alisa, and their daughters, Madison and Mykah.

Lucas Hoge

Lucas Hoge is a No. 1 Billboard-charting artist who can craft a song, cast a line, or call in a turkey in front of a film crew—all while holding an audience’s attention on stage. A warm, engaging television host, Hoge leads the hit show Hoge Wild on the Sportsman Channel, Heartland Network, and American Country Network, reaching more than 155 million households annually.

With a guitar in one hand and a bow in the other, Hoge travels the globe—from New Zealand and Bolivia to South Africa and uncharted regions of North America—sharing his passion for the outdoors and reshaping the conversation around conservation. Season 5, which began airing in June 2024, has already surpassed 25 million minutes viewed in its first four months.

Lance Carpenter

Lance Carpenter is a storyteller from Ozark, Arkansas, known for writing songs that make you want to fall in love, pray a little harder, and believe in something bigger. After moving to Nashville in 2011, he quickly landed a publishing deal and secured two major cuts within 18 months. He co-wrote Kelsea Ballerini’s first No. 1 hit, “Love Me Like You Mean It,” and in 2018 released his debut single, “Anyone Else,” with then labelmate Krystal Keith after signing a record deal with country superstar Toby Keith.

A farm kid turned hitmaker, Lance has shared the stage with Toby Keith and Luke Bryan, and his songs have been recorded by artists including Kelsea Ballerini, Emerson Drive, The Gatlin Brothers, Dylan Scott, Tyler Farr, Richie McDonald, and Ben Fuller. At the heart of his music is storytelling—authentic, honest, and always real.

Billy Montana

Shortly after his recording contract with Warner Bros. Records expired in 1989, Billy Montana abandoned his plans to become a vegetable farmer in Upstate New York and moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he made songwriting his primary focus.

As a songwriter, Montana has penned five #1 singles for country music artists, including Garth Brooks (“More Than a Memory”), Lee Brice (“Hard to Love” and “Memory I Don’t Mess With”), Sara Evans (“Suds in the Bucket”), and Jo Dee Messina with Tim McGraw (“Bring on the Rain”). The Garth Brooks single, More Than a Memory, made history as the first song in country music to debut at #1 on the country singles chart.

Montana also scored a top-five hit in 2019 with Jon Pardi’s “Night Shift.” Other artists who have recorded his songs include Blake Shelton, Martina McBride, Jason Aldean, Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Lee Ann Womack, Kenny Rogers, Sister Hazel, and many others.

Craig Wayne Boyd

Craig Wayne Boyd is a Nashville-based country artist and winner of The Voice, known for his pitch-perfect vocals, emotional delivery, and commanding live performances.

Following his win, Craig debuted his single, “My Baby’s Got a Smile on Her Face,” at #1 on the Billboard chart, tying Garth Brooks for the record. A seasoned road warrior, he has performed over 1,000 shows, including 28 appearances at the Grand Ole Opry, an achievement he considers one of his greatest.

Craig has appeared on major platforms, including The Ellen Show and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and continues to expand his global reach.

In the past year alone, Craig released his sixth studio album, Tidbits, and toured seven countries, delivering country music that is raw, honest, and unapologetically real.

“That’s What I’m Tonkin’ About” – coming 2026.

Gary Burr

Gary Burr is one of Nashville’s most accomplished songwriters, with 32 Top 40 hits, 24 Top 10s, and 14 number-one songs.

One of the rare few who writes hits both solo and as a collaborator, Gary has worked with songwriting icons such as Carole King, Richard Marx, Don Schlitz, Victoria Shaw, Kenny Loggins, and even Ringo Starr.

His songs have been recorded by Christina Aguilera, Juice Newton, Garth Brooks, Kenny Rogers, Joe Cocker, Reba McEntire, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Michael Bolton, Randy Travis, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, LeAnn Rimes, Kelly Clarkson, and many others.

He has been named Songwriter of the Year by Billboard and ASCAP, twice by NSAI, and has been inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Robyn Ottolini

Robyn Ottolini is a CCMA Award-winning, platinum-selling country artist celebrated for her compelling, unfiltered songwriting and over 160 million global streams. With three Billboard Canadian Country Top 40 hits and her viral breakthrough, “F-150,” which reached #3 on Rolling Stone’s All-Genre Viral Chart, the unrestrained and newly independent Ottolini continues to carve out her place as one of country music’s most original and relatable voices.

2026 kicked off with a minute-long clip of her raw, unreleased demo, “Growing Down,” exploding across TikTok and inspiring more than 15,000 fan-created videos featuring the song’s transformational opening line: “I used to crave a seat at a table that I should’ve f**king flipped.” The reaction was so immediate and overwhelming that Ottolini fast-tracked the February 26 release of the demo, giving fans the same unpolished version they first connected with. The studio version of the track is expected shortly thereafter, adding to an electrifying and lived-in body of work and bringing her one giant step closer to her highly anticipated debut album.

Sheyna Gee

Sheyna Gee is carving out her own lane with grit, heart, and good old-fashioned work ethic. Known for her raw storytelling and raspy voice, Sheyna has built a global fanbase by doing things entirely on her own terms, writing, producing, and performing music that feels honest and lived-in.

Her breakout songs, “Ghost” and “Rooster,” went viral, introducing her to audiences far beyond the traditional country scene and cementing her reputation as a fearless songwriter with something real to say. Since then, Sheyna has become a high-demand live performer, touring relentlessly and playing over 200 shows a year across the United States and internationally. In March 2026, Sheyna will release her highly anticipated EP, Two Weeks. The project is entirely self-written and self-produced, showcasing her full creative control and artistic vision.

Sheyna’s live presence has taken her to major country music festivals around the world, including headlining Country Norway in 2025, with upcoming headline appearances at Ride West in Switzerland, Country Mezze in Germany, and Longhorn Festival in Denmark in 2026. These international stages reflect the growing global reach of her music and the deep connection she builds with fans wherever she goes.

Jon Stone

Jon Stone is a multi-platinum, award-winning songwriter and producer with multiple No.1 country radio hits. Originally from Eugene, Oregon, he moved to Nashville to pursue a career as a country artist and has been closely associated with Curb Records for over a decade. In 2013, he signed with Curb as one half of the duo American Young alongside fiddle player Kristy Osmunson, earning two BCMA nominations and touring internationally.

As a songwriter, Jon’s first top 10 hit came in 2006 with Rascal Flatts’ “Me and My Gang,” and he achieved his first No.1 in 2012 with Lee Brice’s “Woman Like You,” which also earned him a SESAC Song of the Year award. He has continued to influence Brice’s subsequent albums and has written for artists including Kenny Chesney, Jerrod Niemann, and Blake Shelton. Jon remains active with American Young while writing and producing for top talent in Nashville.
