The Lineup
Bryan White
Bryan White is a CMA, ACM, and Grammy award-winning country music artist, producer, and songwriter. His prolific recording career, including hits like “Someone Else’s Star” and “Rebecca Lynn,” has charted twenty-one singles, six of which topped the charts at number one. White has toured with many of the biggest artists on the country music scene, including Alan Jackson and Vince Gill. In 1998, he teamed up with LeAnn Rimes for their co-headline Something to Talk About Tour, which was the number 12 top-grossing tour of that year. As a songwriter, White has written songs for a host of other artists, including LeAnn Rimes, Joe Diffie, Wynonna, Diamond Rio, and Sawyer Brown.
Deana Carter
Country music star Deana Carter hit the scene in 1996 with her debut album Did I Shave My Legs for This?, which was certified 5x Multi-Platinum in the United States. Since then, she has released six other albums and has had fourteen singles, three of which — “Strawberry Wine,” “We Danced Anyway,” and “How Do I Get There” — rocketed to Number One on the Billboard country music charts. Of them, “Strawberry Wine” won Single of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards and was nominated for a Grammy and Academy of Country Music Award.
David Cook
David Cook of American Idol fame and record-breaking Billboard chart debuts has cemented his success in the music world. Fourteen of his songs have debuted on the Hot Digital Songs Billboard chart, and eleven of his songs debuted on the Hot 100. Since his first album pre-Idol, Cook has sold more than two million albums and more than five million tracks collectively. Despite a busy schedule of touring around the world, writing for other artists, performing on Broadway and in other media, and raising awareness and fundraising for the National Brain Tumor Society, Cook has released several EPs and singles and even performed in American Idol’s special 20th Anniversary Reunion Show in 2022.
Collin Raye
As one of the true hit makers of the 1990s, Collin Raye remains one of the great voices of our time. Raye shot to fame with “Love, Me” in 1991, moving audiences with powerful emotion and meaning through his golden and pure voice. In conjunction with “In This Life” and other hit searing ballads, he has set country standards and delivered energizing showmanship with vivid rockers like “My Kind of Girl” and “I Can Still Feel You.” In 2001, Raye received the Country Radio Seminar Humanitarian of the Year award in recognition of his issue-oriented music and his tireless charity work. With twenty-four Top Ten records, sixteen Number One hits, and ten Male Vocalist of the Year nominations, Raye still continues to deliver soulful, heartfelt material with his signature honesty and richness.
