BROOKE SPENCER — Brooke first performed in front of a crowd of thousands at the age of five and has since gained the attention of some of the best in the music industry as a technically-gifted singer and songwriter. By the age of ten she had hundreds of performances under her belt as a solo artist, but also as a member of duet, trio, choir, and praise teams. Leaning into her love of country instrumentation and masterful storytellers like Keith Whitley and Miranda Lambert, Brooke Spencer layers in her vocal training in gospel and pop to create a signature style all her own. Brooke moved to Tennessee to pursue songwriting and artistry and has since found a home in the country music community of Nashville.
LANDON WATERS – Landon Waters is a 19 year-old Vidalia native that loves to sing country music. He has been very fortunate the past few years to play and meet amazing people, including his favorite guitar player, Marty Stewart! Having learned to play guitar from his grandfather early in life, he has been picking and grinning ever since. CHAS AND THE BANDIT — 'Chas and the Bandit' are a newly married husband and wife music duo. One from Chicago and one from Arkansas, they make quite the mix! Reed (the Bandit) and Chasity Clayton play songs across many decades and genres. Now 'Nashvillians,' they play music weekly, combining their faith and love of music to bring people together in a way only lyrics and melodies can. You can keep up with them by following @chasandthebandit on Instagram.
GAVIN ALLEN – Gavin Allen is a triple threat: a recent Georgia Southern University graduate, a logistics intern, and an accomplished musician. Allen currently has 11 released songs, including a duet with fellow local artist Blaine Craft. Allen is working on recording a demo album in the future.
THE RIPLEYS — The Ripleys are a 7 piece band out of Statesboro, Georgia. They've played many venues and private parties all around the area. Occasionally they go out as the Ripleys 'lite' version featuring their 3 female vocalists along with just a single instrument accompaniment. Members are Jerry Roberson, Ashley Whittemore, Hollie Shelton, and Rachel Elkins.
RILEY SMITH — Riley Smith, a 10 year-old who loves to sing her heart out, especially to country and gospel music! With a strong faith in the Lord, you can always find her at church sharing joy through song.
