If you were watching the TV, The Voice, in 2018, you were likely watching a young singer from North Carolina slay! That singer has a album out, he's on tour now and coming to New England. Take a listen to my interviw with rising star Kameron Marlowe. 

From the first few notes of Kameron's blind auditon on The Voice, he inspired Kelly Clarkson to turn her chair, seconds later it was Blake Shelton with a chair turn. The young singer who was working at General Motors at the time was picked Team Blake. From then on, he cemented his place in the future of country music. 

Marlowe signed a record deal and released his debut album, We Were Cowboys, last year. He is working on a new project, as he shared in this interview and is really looking forward to heading our way this weekend. 

See Kameron Marlowe peforming live at Off The Rails in Worcester. By the way, Kameron has been practicing how to say the name of the city where he will perform Saturday night. And I'm happy to report, he nails it, as you can hear in our chat. 

Jordan Davis is on a roll. He's been cranking out the hits and the babies. Well, his wife gets most the credit for the babies. And it's a good thing the hits keep coming because, well., more mouths to feed. 

The CMA Award winning songwriter never expected to have a big singing career. He moved to Nashville to write songs. But, there was another plan for him. Davis talks about his niche in the country music world, his tour coming to Roadrunner and we play a game "Jordan's World." 

Riley Green has been collaborating lately. Currently he has a huge hit with Thomas Rhett, "Half of Me."

Country superstar and award winning actor, Tim McGraw just dropped a new single that he describes as "just one of those great songs that comes along," noting it kind of completes a circle with "Live Like You Were Dying and "Humble and Kind." They all are strand out life-affirming powerful songs. 

Listen as Tim talks about "Standing Room" only, and what's to come. 

Getting to "Wild As Her" has been a wild ride for hot new artist, Corey Kent. From age 11, this talented singer/songwriter has been performing on stage with some of the biggest artists. The pandemic set him back and put him on the pavement, literally.
