Artists
Renee Blair
With over 50 million streams under her belt, the ACM and CMA Award nominee Renee Blair is just getting started. Blair is a rising country singer who grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and at 15 her passion and pursuit for country music brought her to Nashville. Renee's journey took a turn when she faced several near death accidents back to back early on in her career forcing her to put her music on pause. That pause transcended into a fire and new approach towards music upon her recovery and shortly after she signed her first publishing deal and record deal under industry stalwarts Shane MacAnally, SMACK Songs, and L.A. Reid, Epic Records. Her music is a captivating blend of her diverse sonic influences alongside a heartfelt vulnerability she shares with fans from the troubles she's experienced in life. She recently gained significant recognition for having helped pen the certified platinum and #1 single, "Wait In The Truck", performed by Hardy and Lainey Wilson. Blair has been gracing all kinds of stages; from touring with Willie Nelson to performing at dive bars or The Ryman Auditorium with Hardy. Her upcoming studio album Hillbetty is set to be released summer of 2024. “Hillbetty” is an alter-ego created by Blair to embrace every woman’s wild side. The debut single off the album has already become a viral sensation, Holy Cowboy. If you are a Renee Blair fan, you know a good time is a guarantee.
Blake Chaffin
Blake Chaffin only knew two people on Music Row when he traded the dusty plains of Hays, Kansas for the rolling hills of Nashville, Tennessee. He got to music city as quick as his 1986 Pontiac Trans Am would let him and has spent the last decade earning his reputation as one of Music City’s premier songwriters and business entrepreneurs.
A big thinker with his feet firmly on the ground, Chaffin has the ability to write raw and relatable music imbued with the lyrical pictures and perspectives that make songs come to life. His creativity and work ethic go hand in hand, writing one hundred plus songs a year that showcase a rich diversity of styles, themes, and collaborators.
“I like running towards the truth, wherever it leads”, Chaffin explains. “The songwriting journey I’ve been on, with a community of talented friends, has allowed me the opportunity to make sense of my world a little bit and have some amazing adventures along the way.”
Chaffin’s small town simplicity influences every aspect of his life, as well as his songs; sometimes saying less, says more. He aims for every line in his songs to hold weight. Words like clever, honest, raw, optimistic, vulnerable, hopeful and mischievous are all signature of Chaffin’s music and personality.
