ABOUT
Buckcherry is described as a unique, complex, simple, passionate, explosive, original, and always a good time band. Their ninth record, HELLBOUND, arrives 22 years after their debut, marking an incredible journey that includes hit songs, platinum and gold records, and millions of fans worldwide. Buckcherry established their reputation on their live shows and "one of a kind" approach at a time when traditional sounding hard rock bands were scarce. They produced their best music when faced with adversity, such as when the pandemic hit, which is reflected in HELLBOUND. They collaborated again with Marti Fredrickson, considered the "sixth band member," who inspires them and brings out their best. World events made finding subject matter for songs like "BARRICADE" and "JUNK" easy. The title track "HELLBOUND" recalls the singer's commitment to "victory or death" the moment he "sold my soul to rock n' roll" at a house party in Orange County, CA. HELLBOUND reflects the dynamics of classic rock records, featuring mid-tempo songs, ballads, and rockers, with tracks like "NO MORE LIES," "AIN'T WASTING NO MORE TIME," and "THE WAY" capturing depth and emotion about world situations and personal struggle. The album also features quintessential Buckcherry tracks like "SO HOT," "5-4-3-2-1," "HERE I COME," and "GUN". The band believes that their greatest moments have come through adversity, and they are currently experiencing one with HELLBOUND.

ABOUT
WARRANT's signature style of rock music is very catchy and yet very melodic and remains the band's signature sound today. In September 2008, Robert Mason replaced Jani Lane (RIP) as lead vocalist joining the other four original members, Jerry Dixon, Steven Sweet, Joey Allen and Erik Turner. Their current album Louder Harder Faster, released on Frontiers Records, has been highly regarded in reviews and embraced by fans.
WARRANT has been headlining festivals, casinos and fairs all over the country in support of their latest CD Louder Harder Faster and the 30 year anniversary of their debut album Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich. The band is fired up and tighter than every musically! These rockers can’t wait to play not only ALL the hits fans know & love, but also new tunes/videos like “Louder Harder Faster” & “I Think I Will Just Stay Here & Drink.”

ABOUT
Nearing 20 years in the country music spotlight, Chris Young has grown into the definition of a
long-haul superstar – but the road remains open ahead. One of Billboard’s top country artists of
the decade, the prolific hitmaker boasts 14 No. 1 singles and 9 Billion+ streams; an unbroken
streak of success built on songs that balance country roots with a modern edge—and connect
through real feeling. A member of the historic Grand Ole Opry, global arena headliner, and
creative force of nature, the CMT Award winner and ACM, AMA, CMA and GRAMMY nominee
has written and co-produced much of the work behind his 54 RIAA certifications, boasting a
career which bridges multiple phases of country expression. But in joining Black River
Entertainment as his new label home, the seasoned entertainer named “one of his era’s finest
traditionalists” by the Associated Press feels refreshed, bringing his much-loved style into the
future. His bold tenth album—I Didn't Come Here to Leave—kicks off the Tennessee native’s next
act.
The record’s 14 fresh songs, including 11 co-writes, mark the start of a new chapter as Young
hits a new stride. Re-centering his foundation of timeless romance, while embracing the energy
of his legendary live shows (and bringing his deep vocal rumble “back to my baritone roots”), the
set represents the most complete cross-section of his creative vision – maybe ever – and the
highest level of craftsmanship in Young’s remarkable career. Also co-producing alongside Andy
Sheridan, the star’s keen country instincts take center stage as he ticks off multiple bucket-list
boxes. Passionate attention to detail was poured over every syllable of every lyric, and with the
old-school recording dynamic found only in a live studio band, the vivid result acts like Young’s
career itself – a connecting point between the glory days of country’s past, and the exhilarating
ecstasy of a new dawn. “It’s wild to step back and see a really long list of things I’ve gotten to do
already. ... But I didn’t come here to leave.”
