The award-winning show is a two-time CMA Award winner, four-time ACM Award winner and earned Bones the title of youngest-ever inductee into the prestigious National Radio Hall of Fame. His breakout TV series for National Geographic, “Breaking Bobby Bones,” is streaming now on Disney+. He has served as the official in-house mentor on ABC’s “American Idol,” won season 27 of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” and serves as host and executive producer of Circle Network’s “Opry.” The “media multitasker,” (Billboard) fan-favorite podcast, “BobbyCast,”which features candid long-form interviews with top artists and industry figures has been downloaded nearly 20 million times.

ABOUT LIZ PHAIR

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Liz Phair’s beloved debut record, Exile In Guyville, which was first released on June 22, 1993 via Matador.

An 18-track double album loosely framed as a song-by-song reply to The Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main St., Exile In Guyville was dubbed a classic upon arrival. The album’s profile has only risen in the ensuing years. It is now regarded as an iconic work and a feminist landmark, recently cracking the top ten of Pitchfork’s “Best 150 Albums of the 1990s” (#4) and the top 100 of Rolling Stone’s “Best 500 Albums of All Time” (#56).

This fall, Phair will celebrate the record by launching a full band US tour and performing Exile In Guyville in its entirety (along with some additional hits) at some of the largest venues of her career.

In the years following Exile In Guyville, Phair has continued to defy expectations and break barriers. She has released five albums, sold over five million records, composed music for television, and received two GRAMMY nominations. In 2019, she published a memoir, Horror Stories (Random House), which the LA Times called “a raw look at fame, motherhood and aging with all the unbridled honesty of the songs that put the singer in the spotlight in the first place. ”On her most recent full-length, Soberish (2021), Phair reunited with Exile in Guyville producer Brad Wood. Variety called the album, “A superior work.” The New Yorker invoked her debut, writing “It often feels just as spontaneous and elemental.”

In 2018, Matador Records reissued Exile in Guyville as a deluxe box set, including the remastered original album and the first official restored audio of 1991’s Girly-Sound tapes – early Phair works that were self-released on cassette. “Exile remains a kind of sanctified codex for girls: The map that pointed us toward adulthood, or something like it,” wrote Pitchfork assigning the collection a perfect 10.0.

Phair has been featured on the cover of Rolling Stone, topped SPIN’s 20 Best Albums of the Year, and reached No.1 on the Village Voice Pazz and Jop Critics Poll. She joined Lilith Fair in 1998-9, performing as a main stage headliner along with top female acts of the day like Sarah McLachlan, Emmylou Harris, Sheryl Crow and Missy Elliott.

Today, three decades after the release of her debut, Phair’s influence in contemporary music – and particularly over female voices – resonates more strongly than ever.

ABOUT DANCE GAVIN DANCE 

Jackpot Juicer may be Dance Gavin Dance’s tenth studio album, but it’s not a capstone—it’s a Launchpad.

Packed with gems of post-hardcore genius and produced by the legendary Kris Crummett (Issues, Sleeping With Sirens), the new record is the band’s longest and most ambitious to date. Following the album’s completion, the group received the tragic news that their dear friend and bass player, Tim Feerick, had passed away. As his final work, Jackpot Juicer has become a celebration of Feerick’s remarkable musical spirit, and a way to honor his legacy for the five close bandmates: vocalists Tilian Pearson and Jon Mess, lead guitarist and songwriter Will Swan, drummer Matt Mingus, and the recently added Andrew Wells, who tackles both rhythm guitar and backing vocals.

With Jackpot Juicer, Dance Gavin Dance have expanded and refined their singular, genre-defining sound with a masterful blend of catchy hooks, punishing heaviness, and an off-the-wall sense of humor. From Swan’s zany, electrifying riffs on “Cream of the Crop” to Pearson’s aching vulnerability on “Swallowed by Eternity” to Mess’ ferocious yet meticulous delivery on “Die Another Day,” the new record finds each artist pushing their virtuosic skills to dizzying new heights. Indeed, despite the band’s already storied past, one thing is clear: for Dance Gavin Dance, this is only the beginning

SiM

SiM exploded out of Japan and on to the international scene at the beginning of 2022 when their song “THE RUMBLING” was featured as the theme song for acclaimed anime ATTACK ON TITAN.  Since its release, the song has been streamed more than 300 million times and was the #1 metal song on Spotify for 2022, spending seven straight weeks on the Billboard Hot Hard Rock songs, peaking at #1.

Formed in Shonan, Kanagawa, Japan in 2004, SiM has released five full length albums and numerous singles and EPs featuring their unique blend of ska, punk, reggae, and metal.  SiM are known for filling arenas and major festivals throughout Japan with their incredible live shows including their own annual weekend festival, DEAD POP FESTIVAL in Kawasaki City, Japan. 

RAIN CITY DRIVE

The need and desire to evolve has an undeniable gravitational pull, especially within music, and with each new era a new sense of renewed purpose and definition is born. Rain City Drive are embracing their next chapter with a powerful combination of authenticity and fervor, true to themselves, their fans and the legacy they now want to create for the next generation of the band. Singer Matt McAndrew (NBC’s The Voice) adds a refreshing pop- melodic swagger to the heavy riffs and songs-manship that has helped them amass a staggering 278 million streams equivalent to 263K album sales streams across their catalog, poising the band to make new waves within a genre ready for a shake up.

With “Cutting It Close”, the first new track under their rebranded moniker Rain City Drive, the band have a blistering follow up to hit single “Talk To A Friend”, which is still in recurrent rotation on SiriusXM Octane. It marks an impressive beginning of the campaign for their new album that will release in spring 2022 alongside live shows as inspiring as the songs themselves, and fans ready to sing every note.

WITHIN DESTRUCTION

Within Destruction are the masters of keeping their listeners guessing. Following hot on the heels of their acclaimed 2020 album Yokai, it was hard to guess what the Slovenian outfit would do next, but the band’s latest album ‘LOTUS’ has shown a whole new dimension to the band’s sound. 

Having already surpassed 40 million streams on Spotify alone, the band shows no intention of slowing down. Fresh off a whirlwind worldwide tour, hitting UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, and the USA multiple times in just the past year, Within Destruction’s plan for global domination is well underway.

ABOUT JAI WOLF

Evoking the heart-tugging feeling of a cinematic score, Jai Wolf makes electronic pop records that conjure a dazzling spectrum of emotions. Since breaking out with the 2015 indie dance certified Gold hit “Indian Summer,” the Bangladeshi-born, New York-raised producer (real name Sajeeb Saha) has carved out a singular lane by balancing anthemic compositions that borrow from the grandiosity of EDM with introspective songwriting, whose sunny earworm melodies cut right through the chest. With his critically-acclaimed debut 2019 album, The Cure To Loneliness, he established his knack for genre-blending innovation and captivated listeners with nostalgia-filled indie dance records. His versatility as a musician has drawn in a global audience and led him to become the first Bangladeshi-American headlining artist to sell out Red Rocks Amphitheatre in June 2022. Jai Wolf makes his most personal statement yet in the Blue Babu era, his latest musical output via Mom + Pop. Straddling the zone between private reflection and euphoric release, the new music exhibits unprecedentedly piercing lyricism and opens up into explosive dance breakdowns veering from house and R&B to new wave and synth-pop. “A big theme of the era is looking deeply inward, assessing all your feelings, and how to reckon with them,” he explains. With a headlining tour scheduled for this summer and fall his audience will no doubt feel the magical sense of connection that can only arise during the climax of a Jai Wolf anthem.

ABOUT DEVAULT

California raised, 2 year-old Sage DeVault took what started as a creative hobby in the calm scenes of Orange County and transformed it into a personal quest to formsomething bigger than a unique venture --- A modern grunge-esque landscape that takes integral instrumentation with an out of the box like sound design and casts visuals that would be reminiscent of an earlier time where rawness and vulnerability was glorified. The desire to create music and become an electronic artist has always been a hidden pulse in Devault’s life, whether it stemmed from his early obsessions over Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan and A$AP Rocky, or analysing the blend of fashion, film, and music altogether. It’s no longer a search for genre, but rather an evolving sound, appreciating the trials of young adulthood and letting him and his audience grow into something beyond a young man and his music.

ABOUT TSU NAMI

Tsu Nami is a 22-year-old producer based in Los Angeles, CA. Her unique blend of melodic dance music and pop influence can be heard throughout her originals, and in 2022 she released her debut EP Ethereal on bitbird.

Alongside her releases Tsu Nami has toured across the country – most notably debuting performances at iconic festivals and venues including EDC & Red Rocks. With more music and performances around the corner, don’t expect this Tsu Nami wave to slow down anytime soon.

ABOUT CHARLIE ROBISON

It's no surprise to hear Charlie Robison describe his first release for Dualtone as “my favorite record that I've ever made, the one I've been wanting to make for a long, long time.” False modesty has never been the style of this native Leon, known for saying what's on his mind and letting the chips fall where they may. Along the way, he's developed a reputation as brash and cocksure, a little ornery, a maverick within a country music industry that prefers artists who are easier to manage, package and promote.

No, the real surprise is the tone of Charlie's voice, the quiet confidence he exudes when he says “this is a culmination of the different styles I've explored, with more maturity in the writing.” Where his breakthrough with 1998's Life of the Party album spotlighted the more raucous and reckless side of Robison, and 2000's “Right Man for the Job” single was pure swagger, Good Times is the work of a reflective artist, one whose music has more depth and range than ever. It's the music of the family man he's become, not the party boy he's been

ABOUT BONNIE RAITT 

Bonnie Raitt’s Just Like That… Tour kicked off its second year with a buoyant start in California during this winter’s historic rainfall and storms! Sellout crowds braved travel through the elements to enjoy moving performances by Raitt and her consummate band of material from her three-time GRAMMY®-award winning album, Just Like That… (including the title track, 2023’s Song of the Year.) After island-hopping for two concerts in Hawaii, Raitt made four rousing appearances in Australia with two headlining-dates in Melbourne and Sydney with special guest Mavis Staples, followed by two performances at the Byron Bay Bluesfest. 

The tour will continue on throughout much of 2023 with one more special addition.  Bonnie Raitt and her band will return to ACL Live on October 14, 2023 to bring the ‘Just Like That…” Tour through town once again (after a brisk sellout for their November 2022 concert.) Special guest Sunny War will open the show. Tickets for this show will go on sale Friday, May 5th at 10am CT.

2022 was an incredible year for Raitt with a 75-date headlining U.S. tour; the release of her critically acclaimed 21st album ‘Just Like That…,’ on her independent label, Redwing Records; receiving the GRAMMY® Lifetime Achievement Award, being honored with the Icon Award at this year’s Billboard Women In Music Awards and seeing her breakthrough album, ‘Nick of Time’ added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry. ‘Just Like That…’ was #1 on six Billboard charts the week of release and was perched at #1 on the Americana Radio Album Chart for ten consecutive weeks. The album’s first single, “Made Up Mind” remained in the top three spots on the Americana Radio Singles Chart for 17 weeks. 

Tickets for all 2023 concerts, are on sale now via https://tour.bonnieraitt.com/ 

ABOUT BONNIE RAITT
Bonnie Raitt is a singer, songwriter and guitarist whose unique style blends blues, R&B, rock, and pop. After 20 years as a cult favorite, she broke through to the top in the early 90s with her GRAMMY-award winning albums, 'Nick of Time' and 'Luck of the Draw,' which featured hits, "Something To Talk About" and "I Can't Make You Love Me" among others. The ten-time Grammy winner was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2000 and Rolling Stone named the slide guitar ace one of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time” and one of the "100 Greatest Singers of All Time.” 

Raitt’s widely-acclaimed 2012 independent release 'Slipstream' sold over a quarter-million copies, making it one of the top selling independent albums, and earned Raitt her 10th Grammy Award (Best Americana Album). In February 2016, Raitt released her highly-anticipated 20th album, 'Dig In Deep' (Redwing Records.) On tour for much of 2017-2019, Raitt and her band performed overseas in Australia, New Zealand as well as Canada before spending the summers touring as support for James Taylor in stadiums and arenas across the U.S., United Kingdom and Europe.

As known for her lifelong commitment to social activism as she is for her music, Raitt has long been involved with the environmental movement, performing concerts around oil, nuclear power, mining, water and forest protection since the mid 70's.  She was a founding member of MUSE (Musicians United for Safe Energy) which produced the historic concerts, album and movie NO NUKES and continues to work on safe energy issues in addition to environmental protection, social justice and human rights, as well as creator’s rights and music education.

ABOUT SUNNY WAR
“I feel like there are two sides of me,” says the Nashville-based singer-songwriter and guitar virtuoso known as Sunny War. “One of them is very self-destructive, and the other is trying to work with that other half to keep things balanced.” That’s the central conflict on her fourth album, the eclectic and innovative Anarchist Gospel, which documents a time when it looked like the self-destructive side might win out. Met with widespread critical acclaim, Anarchist Gospel was named a "Most Anticipated Album of 2023" by multiple outlets with NPR Music calling her new music "thrilling." Rolling Stone said, "It all amounts to a powerful statement from a singer-songwriter poised to become one of the year's most vital voices in roots music," Bandcamp called it "a stellar work of art," while The Sun in the UK said, "In a competitive field, this is the thrilling, uncompromising future of contemporary American roots music."

ABOUT WHEELER WALKER JR.

That sound you hear is the entire city of Nashville wetting their pants – some in excitement, most in fear – because Wheeler Walker Jr. is back. After months in legal limbo due to his involvement in the January 6^th 2021 Capital riot, Wheeler’s release of his album, “Sex, Drugs & Country Music” has many claiming it is already the greatest country album of all time.

Since he disappeared 4 years ago, many thought Wheeler was finished.  But a strange thing happened after he left - he only got bigger!  His mystique grew, his popularity surged and his music was consumed to such an extreme that he was the 3^rd most streamed country artist in the world in 2021. (A fact Music Row is trying to keep quiet… artists that speak their minds have a tendency to be ignored by Nashville’s top brass).  His fanbase grew exponentially as well.  Count among his new fans Killer Mike, Snoop Dogg... and even another “poet of his generation” …

Wheeler blushes and laughs at the mention of Bob Dylan.  “How’d you find that out!  I didn’t tell anybody!  Must’ve been someone on his side who leaked it.”  When pressed for more details, Wheeler continues… “When Bob Dylan calls you it’s not like when a normal person calls… it’s an event.  It’s planned.  You have to wait by the phone, a bunch of his people get you ready… and then Dylan gets on and just laughs and he told me he ‘got it’ and he’s a huge fan and listens to my albums on repeat. I love Dylan, and it was cool, but he’s just a human.  No different to me than when Billy Joe Shaver called me up a few years back.  I stole more licks from Billy Joe, so that one might’ve been even cooler, all things considered.”

Out of the touring game for almost half a decade, Wheeler decided to celebrate the new record with a show at the Ryman, “the mother church of country music.”  

“When I started, I was told they’d never let me play there, and if I did, I’d only sell ten tickets.  Then I sold the place out in 24 hours” Wheeler brags.  He continues, “If it pisses people off, good.  More people should be pissed off about the sorry state of country music today.”

One listen through “Sex, Drugs & Country” reveals where Wheeler’s unrivaled confidence comes from.  Once again produced by Dave Cobb (except the song “God Told Me To Fuck You,” which was produced by someone else) and recorded at historic RCA Studio A, the album is a loud, unapologetic roar of a comeback.  Wheeler explains, “I figured if I’m gonna save country music, why not save Rock ‘n’ Roll too while I’m at it?”

Then Wheeler gets serious: “The last couple of years have been tough.  We lost Billy Joe.  We lost Norm.  I lost a lot of people close to me.  But they wouldn’t want me to make a downer of an album.  No one wants to hear another sad album about the pandemic or Adele’s stupid divorce that no one cares about.”

With songs like “Fucked By a Country Boy,” “Sluts In Heaven” and “Honky Tonk Whore,” nobody’s going to have to worry that Ol’ Wheeler’s gone soft.  

Then Wheeler cuts to the chase: “I haven’t become the hottest thing in Nashville because everybody else here sucks.  They do, and that certainly helps.  But I’ve become the biggest name in country music because I’m the best one doing it.  I used to be the best, and now I’m even better.  Which even I didn’t think was possible.”

 Try listening to his music without shitting your pants.  We dare you.

ABOUT LEANNE MORGAN 

After discovering her passion for stand-up comedy later in life and finding the time and confidence to pursue her dream, Leanne Morgan has cemented herself as a must-watch comedian. 

Leanne was feeling the lure of Hollywood after graduating high school, yet the idea of moving there was unheard of and too daunting for a country girl who had never been away from home. She enrolled in college at The University of Tennessee, where she graduated (by the skin of her teeth) with a degree in Child and Family Studies. 

Shortly after, she married her husband, Chuck, and they moved to Bean Station, Tennessee located in the beautiful foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. 

To stay busy after having her first baby, Morgan started selling jewelry at home parties. She was supposed to talk about the jewelry but instead conversed about breastfeeding, hemorrhoids and being a mama. The party guests thought that she was hilarious, and before she knew it, she was booked a year in-advance.  

The jewelry company saw what was happening and asked her to speak at their sales rallies. It was there that women started saying, “you need to do stand-up!” That gave Morgan the courage to really go for it! She finally had access to comedy clubs when her family moved to San Antonio in 2001, and her career in comedy quickly officially got underway. 

Morgan’s comedy has landed her at the prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal and has brought her development deals for her own sitcom with ABC and Warner Brothers, writer/producer Matt Williams (Rosanne and Home Improvement), TV Land and with Sony Television. 

Morgan has garnered over 2.5M followers across social media and her popular online stand-up special, So Yummy, has reached over 50M views on YouTube. Her fan base continues to grow with her relatability as she discusses everything from being a housewife, sharing Jell-O recipes to having a new grandbaby. Morgan has appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, The View, and Nick at Nite’s Funniest Mom. 

Now that her children are grown, Morgan is moving full steam ahead with a career rooted in her everyday comedy. In December 2022, she concluded The Big Panty Tour with Outback Presents which spanned 100+ shows in theaters across the U.S.  She also taped her first Netflix standup special which premieres on the platform on April 11, 2023.  Morgan is back on the road with her next 100+ show Just Getting Started theater and arena tour with Outback Presents. Her first book, What in the World?, is set to be published by Random House/Convergent, in August 2024.  

When not on the road, Leanne cherishes spending time in Knoxville, Tennessee with her husband, three children, grandbaby, and two beagles.

ABOUT LEANNE MORGAN 

After discovering her passion for stand-up comedy later in life and finding the time and confidence to pursue her dream, Leanne Morgan has cemented herself as a must-watch comedian. 

Leanne was feeling the lure of Hollywood after graduating high school, yet the idea of moving there was unheard of and too daunting for a country girl who had never been away from home. She enrolled in college at The University of Tennessee, where she graduated (by the skin of her teeth) with a degree in Child and Family Studies. 

Shortly after, she married her husband, Chuck, and they moved to Bean Station, Tennessee located in the beautiful foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. 

To stay busy after having her first baby, Morgan started selling jewelry at home parties. She was supposed to talk about the jewelry but instead conversed about breastfeeding, hemorrhoids and being a mama. The party guests thought that she was hilarious, and before she knew it, she was booked a year in-advance.  

The jewelry company saw what was happening and asked her to speak at their sales rallies. It was there that women started saying, “you need to do stand-up!” That gave Morgan the courage to really go for it! She finally had access to comedy clubs when her family moved to San Antonio in 2001, and her career in comedy quickly officially got underway. 

Morgan’s comedy has landed her at the prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal and has brought her development deals for her own sitcom with ABC and Warner Brothers, writer/producer Matt Williams (Rosanne and Home Improvement), TV Land and with Sony Television. 

Morgan has garnered over 2.5M followers across social media and her popular online stand-up special, So Yummy, has reached over 50M views on YouTube. Her fan base continues to grow with her relatability as she discusses everything from being a housewife, sharing Jell-O recipes to having a new grandbaby. Morgan has appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, The View, and Nick at Nite’s Funniest Mom. 

Now that her children are grown, Morgan is moving full steam ahead with a career rooted in her everyday comedy. In December 2022, she concluded The Big Panty Tour with Outback Presents which spanned 100+ shows in theaters across the U.S.  She also taped her first Netflix standup special which premieres on the platform on April 11, 2023.  Morgan is back on the road with her next 100+ show Just Getting Started theater and arena tour with Outback Presents. Her first book, What in the World?, is set to be published by Random House/Convergent, in August 2024.  

When not on the road, Leanne cherishes spending time in Knoxville, Tennessee with her husband, three children, grandbaby, and two beagles.
