Hit songwriter James McNair marks his debut as an artist with “Find the Matches,” a song about feeling trapped in his hometown. At age 7 with a Sears catalog electric guitar found in his grandmother’s attic, James learned his first chords. His father, Jim, let him pick through old boxes of records and started him on the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd and more. James learned to play along with the songs and developed a deep appreciation for well-crafted lyrics and melodies. While attending college at University of Alabama, James would write songs between classes and jam with fellow neighbors at his dormitory, Paty Hall. He moved to Nashville, TN in the spring of 2013 to pursue songwriting full-time despite a promising career in the family golf business. James landed his first worldwide publishing deal in the fall of 2015 with Sony-ATV and Tree Vibez Music. He has co-written over 45 major label cuts with artists like Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Keith Urban, Scotty McCreery, Chris Janson, Morgan Wallen, Florida Georgia Line, Chase Rice, HARDY, The Cadillac Three, Tyler Farr, Chris Lane, and more. In September of 2020 James received his first #1 Country song with Luke Combs- Lovin’ On You. (Topped the charts at #1 for 4 weeks)

Julia Hutchinson is a Nashville-based performing artist and songwriter whose distinctive sound is a blend of country, pop, and folk. A Boston native, Julia’s musical journey began at age five when she started piano lessons and quickly fell in love with the power of music. Influenced by legends like Elton John and The Beatles, her songwriting combines the emotional storytelling of country with the modern energy of pop, resulting in a sound that's been described as “Gracie Abrams meets country music.”
Since relocating to Nashville in 2021, Julia has made her mark on the city's live music scene, performing at iconic venues such as 3rd & Lindsley, The Bluebird Cafe, and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. Her songs have not only resonated with audiences but have also earned her cuts with other artists and features in short films. In 2024, Julia was selected for the prestigious Johnny Mercer Writer’s Project, an opportunity that further sharpened her craft and connected her with some of Nashville's top-tier songwriters.
Currently, Julia is celebrating the release of her debut EP “Here We Are Again”. The project continues to sharpen her country-pop flare with three singles and two additional tracks. When not recording, she is training for a half marathon and going on hikes with friends! With her powerful vocals and compelling songwriting, Julia is excited to continue pushing the boundaries of country music, weaving in elements of pop, folk, and a coastal flare to create something truly unique.
