I first heard Eric back in 2011, when he released ‘Never Really Wanted’ and loved it. With his recently released song ‘Friday Night’ he has given us another catchy and well-crafted tune to jam to.

Nashville Star alumni Kacey Musgraves been making good music for a long time but it wasn’t until last year when she released ‘Same Trailer Different Park’ that she really got her time to shine. This Texas beauty has recently released the music video for her stay true to yourself hit ‘Follow Your Arrow’ and judging by the rest of the album, she will have more hit singles to come. She will be opening for Lady Antebellum’s ‘Take Me Downtown Tour’ along with Kip Moore this year.
