LANCO (Arista Nashville)

With more than 16 million streams, “Greatest Love Story” leads LANCO’s forthcoming debut album produced by Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Cage The Elephant, Little Big Town). Their current single was penned solely by lead vocalist Brandon Lancaster, as the “mid-tempo storytelling song” puts “his emotions on his sleeve” (Taste of Country). Named as “the band to watch” by Entertainment Weekly, Bobby Bones, CMT, Rolling Stone, Spotify and more, LANCO gained their “exuberant concert persona” (Billboard) status from touring the country’s top festivals along with securing opening slot for Dierks Bentley, Brothers Osborne and Jake Owen.

Emily Ann Roberts

Emily Ann Roberts, whose most recent achievement was placing runner up on season 9 of “The Voice,” is a singer/songwriter/musician who grew up in East Tennessee.

Roberts has been influenced by a wide variety of music, however, her true love lies in the old country sounds mixed with gospel and bluegrass influences.  She has been described as having an “old soul” because of her love for vintage country and her unique ability to give it a modern day sound.  During her time on “The Voice,” Roberts had the opportunity to perform with Blake Shelton and Ricky Skaggs and was mentored by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton.  She had two number one songs on the country iTunes and placed in the top ten of the overall two times as well.

Roberts’ East Tennessee sound places her on a path all her own. She appeals to all ages from the younger listeners as well as the adults looking for the country sound they are longing to hear.
