Artists

Belle Frantz

Rising country star Belle Frantz is making her mark on country music with her traditional style and throwback to classic country music. The 21-year-old is a native of Greenwood Springs, Mississippi but has been making waves in Nashville for the past year. Frantz released her first EP, Why I Sing This Way, which features a collection of songs by some of the artists that have influenced her most including Conway Twitty, George Jones and her ultimate role model, Reba McEntire. Frantz’s TikTok videos for the recently released songs “Hello Darlin’” and “The Grand Tour” have gone viral and fans are comparing the newcomer to Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn.

Having grown up in a rural community, Frantz was a country girl and was very close with her grandparents. It is in her grandfather’s shop where she was exposed to classic country artists that soon became her music of choice., including George Jones and Patsy Cline and KT Oslin. When her grandfather passed away, 12-year-old Frantz went through a basket of his CD’s and the first new one she discovered was McEntire’s Last One To Know. This album was the catalyst for her love of singing and the songwriting process, which she studied intently. At age 16, Frantz started taking guitar and voice lessons. She began to play local shows to hone her craft and after community college, worked to save money to move to Nashville, where she has been writing with the industry’s top songwriters and recording for her forthcoming debut original project.

Mae Estes

Mae Estes got her start at age 7 in the middle of an Arkansas rodeo arena, singing the national anthem. Hope, Arkansas native, Mae Estes hasn’t stopped singing since. Paying dues in Music City for nearly a decade, she’s now stacked with stories to tell. In 2019, Estes began releasing music and signed her first publishing deal with Plaid Flag Music in 2020. She’s since racked up more than 10 million streams across platforms and over one million views on YouTube, independently and organically building a quickly-growing fan base with her “plain-spoken truth”.

In 2023, Estes releasedi her debut EP, “Before the Record”, a six-song project produced by hit songwriter Paul Sikes. Later that year, she announced a signing with Big Machine Records, WME Agency, Kobalt Music, and Blue Bronco Entertainment. She was also honored with Arkansas CMA Female Vocalist of the Year for the third consecutive year in her home state. Events such as The Grand Ole Opry, NHL Stadium Series, PBR Stadium Series, Music City Grand Prix, Wrangler’s National Finals Rodeo, The Bluebird Cafe, CMA Fest, Nissan Stadium, The Country Music Hall of Fame and more have hosted this “stone-cold country newcomer”. Estes was recently honored as a new member of the 2024 CMT Next Women of Country class. She joins Dierks Bentley, Jackson Dean, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and more on tour in 2024 and looks forward to releasing new music.

Emily Ann Roberts

They say the path to the grandest stage is paved with relentless practice, and Emily Ann Roberts embodies this mantra. From humble performances on small Knoxville stages to gracing the illustrious Grand Ole Opry platform almost 20 times, Roberts has diligently earned her place in the spotlight. Her journey began on Blake Shelton's team on The Voice, a remarkable feat achieved even before completing high school. Roberts has accumulated a wealth of performing, songwriting and recording experiences. This dedication has translated into over 45 million streams, solidifying her status as a prominent artist. Nine years later, her growth and hard-work prompted an invitation from her former coach Shelton to join his 2024 17-date arena Back to the Honky Tonk Tour. Notably, CMT, Country Now, Music Mayhem Magazine, All Country News, and others have earmarked her as a significant artist to watch in 2024. Rooted in East Tennessee, Roberts draws inspiration from the rich tapestry of Smoky Mountain music, bluegrass virtuosos, and country legends spanning generationsâ€”from Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton to Miranda Lambert and Cody Johnson. This diverse upbringing uniquely positions her to reintroduce authenticity to country music, a mission evident in her debut full-length record, Can't Hide Country, released on September 22. Recorded at Starstruck Studios in Nashville and produced by GRAMMY-winning maestro Trent Willmon, Emily Ann's lyrics, brimming with honesty, coupled with her exceptional vocal prowess, have garnered widespread acclaim from both the media and her devoted fanbase. Country music stalwarts, Grady Smith and Saving Country Music’s Trigger, each bestowed her album with a top-three ranking on their 2023 Best Albums lists. It is undeniably evident that country music is in capable hands with Emily Ann Roberts steering the ship.
