About The Dirty Guv'nahs: This six-piece rock 'n' roll collective from Knoxville, Tenn. is steadily growing their fan base across the U.S., selling out shows, making standout festival appearances, and sharing the stage with a diverse list of notable artists like Wilco, Zac Brown Band, and more. The band was formed in 2006 and released its self-titled debut album in August of 2009, later making an appearance opening for Cracker at the Bele Chere Festival that summer. The band released a second album Youth Is In Our Blood in 2010, drawing comparisons to The Black Crowes. Somewhere Beneath These Southern Skies, the band's third album, was recorded with Grammy award winning engineer Richie Biggs and was released in 2012. The album marks another successful milestone for the band, with 14 tracks of blended rock and soul with a modern edge that combine honest, heartfelt lyrics with passionate musicianship.

About Leogun: A three-piece band from London, Leogun surges with a blend of rock, soul, and blues. Lead singer and guitarist Tommy Smith began playing gigs in London pubs with bassist Matt Johnson at age 13. In early 2012 the group was signed by Yamaha Entertainment Group and later welcomed drummer Mark Lloyd. They then began recording in the iconic Blackbird Studio with Grammy-award winning engineer Bryan Lenox behind the board. They now tour across America and the UK.

About New Medicine: New Medicine injects a little hope into hard rock on their debut album, Race You to the Bottom. Each song tells a story, whether it's about the loss of a loved one on "Little Sister" or the state of the world on Race You to the Bottom. "Laid," the first single, examines relationship troubles with a combination of wit and wisdom. The song is a propulsive lovelorn rocker that sugarcoats nothing. Race You to the Bottom is based on honesty. "We never worried about fitting into a scene," declares the singer. "I don't care how my hair looks; I just want to write good songs. We're proud of the music we created, and it's the best feeling ever."

About The Cadillac Three: The Cadillac Three, formerly known as The Cadillac Black, is an emerging band that blends a sound of radio-ready country anthems, hard-and-heavy rock, and Southern folk. The band was formed by childhood friends and Nashville natives Neil Mason (drums, percussion, and vocals), and Kelby Ray (bass steel guitar, dobro, acoustic, and vocals) and Jaren Johnston (vocals and guitar). Johnston is known for penning Keith Urban's #1 single "You Gonna Fly" along with several other tunes for acts like Kenny Chesney and Dierks Bentley. The group appeared on ABC's Nashville in late 2012, and their music has been featured CBS' CSI Miami among others. In February of 2013 the group signed with Big Machine Label Group, and now continues to tour.
