ABOUT RICOCHET
In 1996 the members of country super group Ricochet watched their debut single, “What Do I Know,” rise to the Top 5 earning the band the honor of the highest charting debut single of the year. The follow up single release, “Daddy’s Money”, became an immediate across the board hit, rising to #1 on the Radio & Records Country Singles Chart, the Gavin Country Singles Chart and the Billboard Country Singles Chart (where it stayed #1 for two consecutive weeks). The band’s distinctive musical style and intricate harmonies earned them recognition as one of the most popular vocal groups in country music, a mantle they still wear today.
Now, more than fifteen years later, “The Hardest Working Band In Country Music” is still going strong. The band continues to create great country music, sung with the distinctive harmonies that are their hallmark. They log thousands of miles on the road each year thrilling audiences of all ages across the United States and abroad.
ABOUT BIKINI BULL RIDING LADIES’ NIGHT

All bull riding participants receive a free bikini from Pendleton® Whisky and the Pendleton Posse, and ladies can compete for $1,000 in cash prizes. DJ Manda will teach line dance lessons, and DJ all night long.
ABOUT ALEXIS WILKINS
Alexis Wilkins speaks the truth and owns who she is with her unapologetic storytelling, cowboy-like leaning, and definitive pull from her past. She honors country tradition while adding relevance and current commentary. Arkansas-bred and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and artist, Wilkins made an impact with her debut with over 1,000,000 streams across platforms and earning the endorsement of CMT, American Songwriter, Today in Nashville, and more. Her EP “GRIT” debuted at #4 on the iTunes chart and her single “Country Back” at #2. Alexis has made friends with fans while opening for Lee Greenwood, Aaron Lewis, Chris Young, Joe Nichols, Sara Evans, Parmalee and more on the road, and continues to look to the future while drawing from the past.
“Country music is here to stay” she says of the changing tides, the ebbs and flows of Nashville’s popularity shuffle, and disregard for temporary trend patterns. “I want people to hear truthful songs. These are real moments in my life and vignettes in time, and country music has always been the truth.”
Fast forward, her advocacy of Veterans and Veteran causes is most important to her, working with organizations such as Warrior Rounds, Operation Standdown, Soldier’s Child, and singing in the hospital with Musicians On Call and was selected for the honor of singing at memorial services for the VA. She pioneered the first live virtual performance program for Veteran patients and produced and delivered a nationwide 4th of July presentation to the VA hospitals via closed-circuit TV. She says of her work with Warrior Rounds that her retreat days, writing with Veterans, “are her favorite writing sessions.”
Moving at a young age from Switzerland and England to Arkansas and Tennessee, Alexis was active in the Nashville writing community, writing for herself and others, and putting in the time honoring her craft. While working a full-time schedule, she also attended Belmont University, majoring in Business and Political Science, and graduating with honors such as The Williams-Murray Writing Award, Economic Critical Thinking Award, and having been selected to be on the Ethics Debate Team.
When Alexis isn’t in the studio or on the road, she’s handing out with her family and dog, reading or collecting old books, writing articles, or working on her 1989 F-150 Lariat.
ABOUT ABBY ANDERSON
Blending new age tones and personal, heart-felt storytelling with catchy, overarching pop melodies, Abby Anderson’s authentic and genre-bending country sound is one that was developed long before her move to Nashville at the age of 17. Quickly hitting the Nashville grind, Abby’s hard work paid off in 2017 when she signed her first record deal. Over the next two years Abby was recognized by Pandora as a “Country Artist to Watch” and was named on both the “CMT 18 for 2018” and “Next Women of Country Class” alongside Ashley McBryde. Shortly after, she released her debut EP, I’M GOOD. With that, her career had taken off, and Anderson has accrued over 100 million streams since.
In 2019, she was recognized as a member of the Music Row Magazine’s “Next Big Thing”, Sounds Like Nashville’s list of “Country Artists to Watch” and “Bobby Bones Show Class Of 2019”. In 2020, Abby’s European tour was cut short due to Covid. Abby spent this time forming a relationship with Executive Producer Marshall Altman. Abby began a new journey working on a record, “Sugar Spice” that was released in 2022 and heard by millions. The record resulted in Abby signing a new record deal with Walk Off Entertainment with distribution from Virgin Music Group.
Abby’s recent intimate project, “First to Hit the Road”, offers a glimpse into her upbringing. The release struck a chord across social media, with the viral sensation “Heart on Fire in Mexico”, garnering a staggering 30 million impressions and 4.5 million streams. Having shared stages with Stevie Nicks, Rob Thomas, Brett Eldredge, Chase Rice, and more, Abby has played the Grand Ole Opry fifteen times. Yet, she believes she’s just scratching the surface of her musical journey.

ABOUT JADE EAGLESON
At just 30 years of age, Jade Eagleson has made quite the mark on the international country music scene. Boasting 335M+ global streams and 130M+ views on YouTube since the debut of his self-titled album (2020), which holds four GOLD-certified and two PLATINUM-certified singles (“Got Your Name On It,” “Count the Ways”), as well as the title of most globally streamed debut album by an internationally-signed country artist in history, Jade has also landed five #1s at Canadian Country Radio (“Lucky,” “All Night To Figure It Out,” “More Drinkin’ Than Fishin'” feat. Dean Brody, “She Don’t Know,” “Telluride”), three GOLD and one PLATINUM-certified track (“She Don’t Know”) from his sophomore album as well as another two GOLD-certified tracks and one PLATINUM-certified track on his third album Do It Anyway.
Since day one Jade has had his sights firmly set on re-establishing neo-traditional country’s place at the top of the charts and hasn’t stopped working toward this goal ever since. In 2017, Jade decided to step away from some of his duties on the family farm to pursue a long-time dream as a country music artist. With the release of his debut single “Got Your Name On It” (2018), Jade was featured as a YouTube Trending ‘Artist On The Rise’ and appeared on the website’s homepage, marking the first time a Canadian-signed artist in any genre has received such an honor. Today, the music video for “Got Your Name On It” has over 96 million views (and counting) and became the first debut single by a Canadian artist to go Platinum.
These last few years have been unmatched for the Ontario native. Jade kicked off 2024 with his third JUNO nomination for Country Album of the Year and just recently won Album of the Year at the 2024 CCMA Awards, after being named the 2023 CCMA Awards Entertainer of the Year and Male Artist of the Year. Jade’s third studio album, Do It Anyway and single by the same name ft. Jake Worthington are available everywhere now.
ABOUT GUNNAR LATHAM
Gunnar Latham was born into a church-going and country music-loving family in San Marcos, Texas. Growing up around horses and cattle most of his life, Gunnar’s first love was rodeo. He participated in steer wrestling, team roping, and tie-down in high school, college, and even professionally. Gunnar also discovered a passion for performing and singing at an early age. First in his father’s church, then around the horse trailers after rodeos, and eventually in the honky-tonks of central Texas.
With eyes on a rodeo dream and a heart full of music, Gunnar eventually found himself stuck between the two, and in late 2019, Gunnar decided to go all in on a music career. He dedicated himself to honing his skills as a writer and performer. His work has been paying off with a growing Texas fan base, the signing of his first publishing deal with Major Bob Music, a deal with Bob Doyle & Associates, and booking by Chad Kudelka of CAA. The future looks bright for this Texas cowboy.
ABOUT THE KRUSE BROTHERS
During a time when the popular choice is to chase the double yellow line down the road to country radio, fresh to the table, The Kruse Brothers want to earn their seat at the country music table, but not by chasing the status quo. The Arizona-raised five-piece is a fusion of Country, Americana, and folk-rock stacked on a blues foundation.
Brothers, Chandler and Miles, the band’s core, take turns as lead vocalists, creating a dynamic duo with a diverse sound ready for an expansive audience. The band’s debut single, ‘Good As Gone’, is the anthem track and best sneak peek into the band’s signature sound: “This single is one of our favorite songs on the upcoming EP…” Chandler says, “… It’s a rock-n-roll country song; it’s upbeat, (it’s) loud, (it’s) crazy, I am really excited for everyone to hear it…”
ABOUT MATT FARRIS
A true entertainer showcasing high-energy, passion, and artistic integrity, Matt Farris is diligent in his career while giving back all the love he receives from his audience – creating a connection with his fans unlike any other. Never complacent, the Billboard charting artist embraces the roots of country music while integrating influences from other genres such as pop and rock. Showing himself as a force to be reckoned with, Matt Farris teamed up with Laminate Entertainment to create his greatest work yet – Keepin’ It Real.
