McCreery’s 2018 album Seasons Change marked a career milestone for the 24-year-old artist. Its leading, RIAA-Platinum certified single “Five More Minutes” earned McCreery his first No. 1 song.

It also received praise from the Tennessean, Billboard, Huffington Post and Rolling Stone, including being named to their list of the 25 Best Country and Americana Albums of 2018 So Far.

The epitome of the phrase “persistence pays off,” Jimmie Allen laid it all on the line to make his dreams a reality. Now signed to BBR Music Group’s Stoney Creek Records, Jimmie Allen released his self-titled debut EP (10/2017) featuring a cutting-edge mix of country, rock, R&B, and pop produced by Ash Bowers and Eric Torres.
The Southern Delaware native’s talent for songwriting is undeniable, having written a song that was featured in a Super Bowl commercial and appeared in a Diet Coke ad with megastar Taylor Swift. “Blue Jean Baby,” off his debut EP, immediately caught the attention of country music fans and critics alike with its soulful groove— rocketing it to #8 on Spotify’s Viral Top 50 chart and #5 on Spotify’s Wild Country playlist. Allen is currently introducing his music at festivals across the country sharing the stage with the likes of Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Kane Brown, and superstar Toby Keith. The hot newcomer has already been heralded as one of the top “artists to watch in 2018” by Rolling Stone, Billboard, CMT, Pandora, Sounds Like Nashville, NY Country Swag, Country Music Rocks and New England Country Music and has earned spots in CMT’s “18 for 2018” Listen Up program and Bobby Bones’ Class of 2018.
