Gary Allan and Cory Morrow

Gary Allan, born in Southern California, blends Bakersfield country with polished country-rock. Known for hits like "Man to Man" and "Every Storm," he achieved success despite mainstream tensions. His 2001 debut album, "Alright Guy," launched him to fame with MCA records, earning chart-topping singles and awards. Allan's style combines honky-tonk roots with anthemic hooks, and he released "Ruthless" in 2021 after nearly a decade-long hiatus.

Texas-born singer/songwriter Cory Morrow is a local legend known for his rootsy style. Starting with hard rock influences, he found his voice in Texas' singer/songwriter tradition and collaborated with Pat Green. Morrow's popular works include "Texas Time Travellin'" and "Lead Me On." Despite legal setbacks, he cleaned up his act and continued to achieve success with albums like "Vagrants and Kings" and "The Good Fight," landing on several music charts.
