Three-time CMA Entertainer of the Year and most nominated artist in CMA Awards history Alan Jackson is “one of country music’s true masters” writing songs that “make life’s mundanities carry emotional heft and make it look easy.” (USA Today) He has sold more than 49 million albums and topped the album and country album chart this year with GOOD TIME, which produced two #1 singles, “Small Town Southern Man” and “Good Time”, bringing Jackson’s career total of #1s to 33, 23 of which were written by the Grammy-winning songwriter.

Since releasing his platinum debut album in 1996, the Louisiana-born performer, musician, author and actor Trace Adkins has recorded seven studio albums, which netted him 24 singles on the Billboard chart. His latest chart-topping CD, American Man: Greatest Hits Vol. II includes the multi-week #l single "You're Gonna Miss This”. After his strong showing on NBC’s hit reality series, “The Celebrity Apprentice,” Adkins is turning to the big screen. He’ll soon appear in the feature film American Carol, an irreverent comedy directed by David Zucker. He is set to release his next studio album this fall.
