Before becoming a country music sensation, Florida-born Joshua “Jake” Owen dreamed of becoming a professional golfer until a wakeboarding incident led to reconstructive surgery and left Owen unable to keep playing. He borrowed a neighbor’s guitar and began teaching himself to play, eventually playing country covers in bars before writing his own material and moving to Nashville.
Old Dominion is a Grammy-nominated pop/country band known for the hit singles “One Man Band” and “Break Up with Him,” as well as their platinum-certified 2015 debut album Meat and Candy, a Billboard 200 hit that was praised by everyone from Rolling Stone to NPR. The Nashville-based country rockers — composed of singer Matthew Ramsey, multi-instrumentalist Trevor Rosen, lead guitarist Brad Tursi, bassist Geoff Sprung and drummer Whit Sellers — was formed in 2007 and originally honed their songwriting skills by authoring hits for everyone from Luke Bryan and Keith Urban to Kenny Chesney and Cole Swindell.

Luke Bryan is one of country music’s most prolific hitmakers. The Leesburg, Georgia native began his career writing hit songs for country icons Travis Tritt and Billy Currington. Since breaking out in 2011 with the record-breaking single “Country Girl (Shake It For Me),” Bryan has produced 12 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and more RIAA-certified digital singles than anyone in country music.
His accomplishments include selling 13 million albums, with four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, and hits like “Huntin’, Fishin’ and Lovin’ Every Day” showcase the relatable Americana and catchy hooks that have made him a five-time ACM Awards Entertainer of the Year.
On the road, Bryan has played sold-out tours for over 13 million fans worldwide, including 2014’s That’s My Kind of Night Tour (the highest-grossing country tour of that year). Since 2018, the country music icon has also been a judge on American Idol alongside Katy Perry and Lionel Richie.
