Nashville-based Big Machine Records recording artist Ryan Hurd has accumulated more than one billion on-demand career streams, received numerous award nominations (CMA Awards, ACM Awards, CMT Music Awards, etc.) including two GRAMMY® Awards nominations and has scored multiple No. 1 hits as singer and a songwriter. His debut album, Pelago, reached the top five of Spotify’s most-streamed Country albums and garnered critical acclaim. Signed to Big Machine Music for publishing, Hurd earned his place in Country music history writing PLATINUM No. 1 hits for Blake Shelton, Jordan Davis, Luke Bryan, Lady A, and Diplo/Morgan Wallen, in addition to writing many other hits for artists like Conner Smith and Breland. The 2022 ASCAP Country Award winner has toured with the likes of Sam Hunt, Thomas Rhett, Darius Rucker and Lady A in addition to his own headlining dates. The deluxe version of his sophomore album, Midwest Rock & Roll, is out now.  

Rapidly emerging as one of country music’s most compelling new voices, Timmy McKeever is stepping confidently into his next chapter with two major announcements: a signing to powerhouse label Big Loud, and the upcoming release of his label debut single, “Hold You To It,” on August 1. Signing with Big Loud intensifies McKeever’s momentum, placing him among the label’s chart-topping roster that includes Morgan Wallen and HARDY. His debut single, “Hold You To It,” out August 1, signals his arrival as a future star. Blending modern country production with grounded, honest storytelling, McKeever began shaping his sound and stage presence in his home state of California, performing at venues like The Maverick and House of Blues Anaheim. Since relocating to Nashville in June 2024, his momentum has skyrocketed, earning him national attention and bigger stages. Since the release of his debut album Devils & Angels on December 6, McKeever has racked up nearly 20 million streams, with over half of that total coming post-album. On social media, he continues to generate serious buzz, consistently reaching more than 5 million monthly impressions and 600,000+ interactions, underscoring his growing grassroots fanbase and national reach. A seasoned performer, McKeever has logged over 400 live shows, including opening slots for Cody Johnson, Ashley Cooke, Gabby Barrett, Lee Greenwood, Dylan Scott, Chris Janson, and Drew Baldridge. His streaming success is matched by over 30 featured placements on DSP-curated playlists, including Spotify’s Next From Nashville, Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds Country, and New Music Friday Country, Amazon’s Breakthrough Country, and Apple Music’s New in Country. Since Devils & Angels, McKeever has continued to deliver fan-favorite releases, including the emotional “I’ve Known Better” (video released March 21), “Tennessee Orange (Breakup Version)” (March 28), a reimagined take on Megan Moroney’s "Tennessee Orange,” and the high-octane full-length video for “Lightning Speed” (June 23), which captures the chaos and thrill of chasing a dream. With “Hold You To It” ushering in a bold new era under Big Loud, Timmy McKeever’s rise is only just beginning.
