  • Tia Sillers

    Country

    Tia Sillers’ landmark song “I Hope You Dance," initially recorded by Lee Ann Womack, struck an emotional chord with listeners and received national exposure on Oprah and through articles in Newsweek and the New York Times. It was even performed at the Nobel Prize awards ceremony and eventually went on to win every conceivable award including the Grammy, CMA, ACM, NSAI, ASCAP, and BMI Song of the Year. The song also enjoyed success in Europe and South America in a version recorded by popular international artist Ronan Keating, and a version by Gladys Knight was featured in the Tyler Perry film The Family That Preys. However, Tia is far from a one-hit wonder having penned hit songs for numerous other artists, including the #1 smashes "That'd Be Alright," recorded by Alan Jackson, and "There's Your Trouble," recorded by The Dixie Chicks.

    Crossing genres, Tia has achieved success with a variety of artists including established rocker Kenny Wayne Shepherd, with whom she has written multiple hits, including the top five songs "Last Goodbye”, "Was" and the #1 smash "Blue On Black", which not only held the top spot on the rock charts for seventeen weeks but was also the 1998 Billboard Rock Song of the Year. Tia was nominated for ten Canadian CMA awards in 2009 for her work with Canadian artistsJohnny Reid, Crystal Shawanda, and Victoria Banks. Other artists who have recorded Tia's songs include Martina McBride, Randy Travis, Trace Adkins, Trisha Yearwood, Diamond Rio, Wynonna, Patty Loveless, and Sister Hazel.

  • Ellie Rivers

    Country

    Ellie Rivers is an emerging country artist who hails from the heartland of the U.S. Now based in Nashville, Ellie pairs her textured, smoky alto voice with an instinct for honest storytelling. She brings a fresh yet timeless sound to country music. She and her music have been featured in Emmy Award-winning television shows, heard on Nashville radio, and recognized through multiple songwriting competition wins. Her debut EP, “I Do, I Did, I’m Done.” drops fall 2026.

  • Ben Brooks

    Americana

    Raised in Alabama, where he was immersed in the rich musical traditions of the South from  an early age, Ben Brooks is an Americana singer-songwriter whose music is rooted in  honest storytelling, timeless melodies, and a deep sense of place. After years of touring  with a band following college, Brooks made the move to Nashville to pursue songwriting  and a career as a solo artist. Drawing inspiration from classic country, folk, and roots rock,  he writes songs that find meaning in everyday moments—exploring memory, resilience,  family, and the people and places that shape us. His songs are understated yet deeply  personal, inviting listeners to find pieces of their own stories within them.

    Following the release of his 2019 album Jean on Jean, Brooks continued to refine his voice  as a songwriter, returning to the stage with a notable performance at Nashville's legendary  Exit/In, sharing the stage with acclaimed songwriter Tia Sillers, as well as opening for Mike  Cooley at Alabama's historic Walton Theatre.

    That same spirit of reflection carries into his latest single, Long Hard Winter, co-written with  fellow artist E.G. Vines. Looking back through the lens of childhood summers, familiar  music, and the shared touchstones of growing up, the song reminds us that even in life's  longest seasons, memories can offer comfort, perspective, and hope. Like much of Brooks'  writing, Long Hard Winter finds the extraordinary in ordinary moments, proving that the most personal stories are often the most universal.
