Chase McDaniel

March 19 | 7 PM | 1st Street Stage

Raised by his grandparents in the small Kentucky town of Greensburg, Chase McDaniel is one of Nashville’s most tenacious singer-songwriters and a shining example of how kindness, persistence, and curiosity can pay off. After graduating from the University of Louisville, he pursued his dream of making Country music all the way to Nashville. Over the last few years, he’s scored the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Country Digital Song Sales and iTunes Country single charts with the self-aware Project and reached #3 (all-genre) for Your Daughter (a heartbreaking track written about his sister). Now, signed to Big Machine Records, the singer/songwriter released his debut EP Blame It All On Country Music in early 2024 and began taking his Country-Rock sound and rich baritone vocals to sold-out audiences across the country.

 

Bryan Martin

April 22 | 7 PM | 1st Street Stage

At age 36, Martin continues to climb the country music hierarchy. He’s revved up radio charts with pedal-to-the-floor hit “We Ride” – which landed at No. 3 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and earned Platinum certification from the RIAA. He reaches millions of listeners each month, with over 800 million career streams … and counting. On the road, he’s sharing stadium stages with Morgan Wallen as part of the One Night At A Time tour, one of the biggest shows in live entertainment.

His growing success comes after years of struggle with mental health and addiction – past experiences that at times fuel the humanity in his songs. With each step in his career, audiences embrace Martin’s down-but-never-out story of survival and, now, triumph.

Meghan Patrick

May 14 | 7 PM | 1st Street Stage

Since making her debut with 2016’s multi-award-winning Grace & Grit, Meghan Patrick has embodied the kind of unbridled truth-telling that leaves listeners feeling undeniably seen and understood. A back-to-back CCMA Female Artist of the Year whose accolades also include 18 CMAOntario awards, the Nashville-based artist doubled down on that soul-baring specificity in the making of her latest project, The Greatest Show On Dirt. The rural-Ontario-born singer-songwriter sets her storytelling to a high-energy, but expansive sound that stretches beyond the boundaries of country. Anchored in the powerful vocal work she’s brought to the stage as support for legends like Dwight Yoakam and top artists including Keith Urban, Old Dominion, Kip Moore, Brothers Osborne and more, the result is a body of work that captures the nuances of her emotional experience with equal parts boldness, humor, and wildly colorful originality.
