Gavin Adcock

Gavin Adcock is a 25-year-old Georgia native born and raised in Watkinsville. He started writing songs in high school, but it wasn’t until the spring of 2021, when he tore up his knee playing football, that he used his time healing to record and release his first original single. Since then, he has put all focus into his music and has released multiple singles that have now amassed nearly 500 million US streams collectively with his recent release, “A Cigarette,” having over 80 million streams and counting. His debut major label album, Actin’ Up Again, was released in August of 2024 and was the most streamed country debut album of the year. He has sold over 100,000 tickets between the two legs of the highly successful Actin’ Up Again tour which runs from the fall of 2024 until spring of 2025.

Austin Snell

Fusing hard-rocking sonic aggression with the deep-feeling confessions of a country troubadour, River House Artists/Warner Music Nashville’s Austin Snell is an emerging country talent for whom the rules have never really applied. A Georgia native and Air Force vet who grew up on a steady diet of Nickelback, Three Doors Down, Creed and Alan Jackson, the Nashville newcomer has bucked Nashville’s “10 year town” moniker, arriving in 2022 and quickly starting work to make “grunge country” a household name. With distorted, dark-energy guitars, thundering drums and a wounded vocal at the end of its emotional rope, his gritty debut single “Excuse the Mess,” co-written with Presley Aaron and Christian Yancey, leads the charge into Snell’s opening chapter. The rising star now counts a rare SiriusXM Highway Find accolade – the same one bestowed on now-superstars like Maren Morris and Luke Combs. He is also the second artist ever chosen for SiriusXM’s Artist Accelerator program, and with a growing touring footprint that has put him on the road with country’s brightest stars.
