earts of audiences and critics alike with authentic lyrics, smooth vocals, and undeniable charisma. Hailing from Knoxville, TN, Hayden’s journey is deeply rooted in the traditions of the genre, yet he infuses his own unique flair and authenticity into every song he creates.
Driven by his unwavering passion, Hayden has been making waves in the industry. With a constant stream of new releases Hayden has found favor in the hearts of music fans around the globe. Hayden was recently featured as the face of Spotify’s “Fresh Finds Country” & “Next From Nashville” playlists, in addition to Amazon’s “BreakThrough Country” and Tidal’s “Country Rising” playlists. In 2023, Hayden was one the fastest growing unsigned country artists in America, breaking the top 3 on Spotify and top 5 on YouTube. Hayden racked up more than a handful of Top 10 releases on the iTunes charts as an independent artist. Since the November 2022 release of his single “Where’s The Whiskey” and recent collabs with artist’s Chase Matthew (“Raised In The Holler”), and Trey Lewis (“Give A Country Boy A Call”) Hayden has amassed more than 254 million total streams to date, and his YouTube videos have topped 58 million total views.
As his star continues to rise and his artistry evolves, he is poised to make an indelible mark on the country music world. Hayden represents the next generation of country artists who are carrying the torch of this beloved genre by pushing the boundaries, while also staying true to its essence.
Country singer Lane Smith knows a thing or two about grit. Raised just north of San Antonio in Spring Branch, Texas, he grew up rodeoing as a bullfighter—a world of long days, bruises, and no guarantees. That same toughness and dedication now fuel his independent career in country music, where the road can feel a lot like the arena: unforgiving, but worth the ride.
Smith first made his mark with a 2018 debut EP, followed by his full-length self titled album in 2023. Since then, he’s earned over millions of streams across platforms with a sound that blends Texas grit and Nashville polish—catchy enough to make you tap your boots, raw enough to cut straight to the bone. Along the way, he’s checked off bucket-list venues like Gruene Hall and opened for artists including Matt Stell, Colt Ford, Chase Matthews, Creed Fisher, and Kyle Park.

mp; intensity all at once. Guitars may restlessly roar and rumble, only to be reined in by the spell of a saccharine melody or a honeyed hook. This push-and-pull has catapulted the group—Brian Aubert [vocals, guitar], Nikki Monninger [bass, vocals], Chris Guanlao [drums], & Joe Lester [keys]—out of a crowded and competitive local scene & into the wide open space of some of the world’s biggest stages. Their full-length debut, Carnavas [2006], went Gold & spawned the Platinum staple “Lazy Eye.” On its heels, they logged two back-to-back Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200 with Swoon [2009]—featuring the Gold-certified “Panic Switch”—and Neck of the Woods [2012]. Coursing through culture, they have landed dozens of film & TV placements, ranging from the cult classic Jennifer’s Body to NETFLIX’s The Lincoln Lawyer. They’ve held their own on tours with the likes of Foo Fighters & Muse, sold out successive headline jaunts, & performed on late-night TV shows such as Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! Beyond praise from NPR, Consequence, and more, Pitchfork hailed 2022’s Physical Thrills as “their most varied and carefree songs in over a decade.” Now, SSPU meet the moment with their seventh full-length LP, Tenterhooks. It’s an anxious, emotionally charged, and unapologetic collection of ten tracks appropriate for the times, yet as timeless as anything they’ve done.
