MCA Nashville artist Jon Pardi began careening down the highway over ten years ago, leading the charge to modernize honkytonk with roaring guitars and a good-time spirit. Pardi’s reputation for punchy, against-the-wind bravado has only grown, with his just-released fifth studio album HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD. The 17-track album is the spiritual successor to his fearless breakout hits, once again showcasing his commitment to staying true to himself, yet giving his signature sound a new spark. With four Top 5 albums under his belt – including 2016’s Platinum #1, CALIFORNIA SUNRISE – Pardi has solidified his place in country music. Never afraid to break from the pack, fourteen RIAA-certified singles feature six No. One’s (like the back-to-back 6x-Platinum “Head Over Boots” and “Dirt On My Boots”), and with years of blue-collar barnstorming behind him, the California native has earned his international headlining acclaim, alongside 9.3 billion global streams.

When Niko Moon first emerged with his triple-platinum smash “GOOD TIME,” the Texas-born singer/songwriter lit up the country scene with his larger-than-life energy and heartfelt message of radical positivity. On his latest LP AMERICAN PALM, the Nashville-based artist takes that mission to a whole new level and immerses the audience in the idyllic landscape that never fails to lift his spirits: the sun-soaked serenity and mind-blowing splendor of the beach. A top-notch lyricist who got his start as a co-writer for the Zac Brown Band and later penned hits for superstars like Morgan Wallen and Rascal Flatts, Niko matches his feel-good fusion of country and timeless pop with plenty of colorful storytelling, instantly submerging the senses in the blissed-out surroundings of the coast. Made with producer Danny Majic (an L.A.-based producer/songwriter who’s worked with OneRepublic, Flo Rida, Galantis, and more), the result is a seaside getaway in the form of an album—equal parts carefree, contemplative, and wildly life-affirming.

Hailed as “the future of country music” (Billboard), Zach Top will release his highly anticipated new album, Ain’t In It For My Health, on August 29 (Leo33). The project features Top’s recent releases “South of Sanity” and “Good Times & Tan Lines,” the latter of which the Los Angeles Times selected as one of the “Best Songs of 2025 so far” calling it “As crisp as country music gets.” The new album adds to an already breakout year for Top, who recently earned his first #1 at country radio with “I Never Lie,” was named New Male Artist of the Year at the 2025 ACM Awards and featured in Variety’s 2025 Young Hollywood Impact Report. These accomplishments follow the release of Top’s breakthrough 2024 debut album, Cold Beer & Country Music, which garnered over 3.5 million streams in just its first week and landed on several “Best of” lists, including Rolling Stone, Billboard and The New York Times, who praised, “the music is airtight and fluent—a demonstration of vivid coloring within hard lines.” Known for his engaging live performances, Top recently extended his “Cold Beer & Country Music” tour through this fall and is currently on the road with Dierks Bentley. Widely respected by his peers, the CMA Award-nominee has also shared stages with notable artists such as Dwight Yoakam, Billy Strings, Alan Jackson and Lainey Wilson. Raised in Sunnyside, WA, Top grew up on classic country music around the family farm. At the age of seven, he formed a bluegrass band with his siblings, which set the stage for his future musical ambitions.
