About The Artists

Greenville native Marcus King captivates audiences with his soulful voice and masterful guitar work, blending Americana blues with “soul-influenced psychedelic southern rock.” Inspired by his musical family, his Grammy-nominated debut El Dorado put him on the map. His 2024 album Mood Swings explores personal battles with mental health and sobriety, reflecting his commitment to honest songwriting. “It’s always been a part of me to let people know it’s not uncommon,” he told Forbes. With over 3.2 million monthly Spotify listeners, King connects deeply through raw, relatable storytelling.

Colby Acuff, a fourth-generation Idaho native, brings a raw, roots-driven take on country music that stands apart from the mainstream. Though he studied economics and considered finance, he chose music, working as a fly-fishing guide by day and playing sold-out shows by night. A self-taught musician, he made his Grand Ole Opry debut in August 2023. His breakout hit, “If I Were the Devil,” has over 27 million streams. “I always lean toward making music for you and your fans,” Acuff says, reflecting his dedication to authenticity.

The Wilson Springs Hotel, a Richmond-based bluegrass and country band, is known for its original sound blending country, western swing, bluegrass, folk, and rock—all with a genderless musical approach. Their deep lyrics explore life’s struggles, while their shows remain lively and uplifting. Formed post-COVID, their self-titled debut album dropped in fall 2021. With a packed touring schedule, the five-piece band continues to share their unique sound nationwide.
