🎹 Singer, songwriter, and actor, Drake Milligan has been hailed as a Country traditionalist redefining the current landscape of the music industry. Making his breakout debut, with his critically acclaimed album, Dallas / Fort Worth, Milligan perfected his baritone vocals and honky-tonk hooks to create his one-of-a-kind signature sound. Recently releasing, his follow up EP, Jukebox Songs, Milligan once again sets the stage for another project full of high-energy, twang and soulful Country. Drake recently performed at Stagecoach Festival 2025.

Jason Cross is a rising, fully-independent country rock artist known for his edgy style and country swagger. Originally from Michigan, Jason began performing in 2015 and moved to Nashville in 2020. With a haircut fit for a rockstar and the stage presence to match, Jason has created an undeniable brand for himself. Over the years, Jason has opened for national acts such as Jon Langston, Chase Matthew, Lakeview, Granger Smith, and Buckcherry, steadily building a dedicated fan base along the way. His music has also been featured on Spotify playlists such as “All New Country,” “New Music Friday Country,” and “Fresh Finds Country.” To kick off 2025, Jason joined Lakeview on their headlining “Blue Collar Country” tour, which wrapped up at the end of March. Inspired by a diverse range of artists, including Alice in Chains, Randy Houser, and Koe Wetzel.
