Hudson Westbrook Kenny Whitmire & Ethan Burdick.

Hudson Westbrook “is on the cusp of bona fide country music stardom” (Rolling Stone). A son of Stephenville, Texas, Westbrook was baptized by Red Dirt and raised on George Strait, Turnpike Troubadours, Parker McCollum, Koe Wetzel, and Tracy Lawrence. After a 2024 splash debut with first-ever release, “Take It Slow,” Westbrook strung together a series of grassroots hits while still enrolled at Texas Tech University, including Texas radio chart-topper, “Two Way Drive,” and chart-topping debut single to country radio, “House Again.” Revitalizing the organic country he was raised on while refusing to be held down by his roots, Westbrook’s “traditional country sounds and timeless songwriting” (Billboard) have become his calling card, fully realized on his Top 10, 17-track debut album, Texas Forever, and expanded upon on follow up EP, Exclusive, out now. Taking the spirit of Texas country music far beyond state lines, Westbrook is headlining sold-out tours nationwide, alongside opening gigs with George Strait, Parker McCollum, Morgan Wallen, Bailey Zimmerman, Midland, Ian Munsick, and many more. Amassing over 1.5 billion global streams in just under two years of releasing original music, Westbrook is a 2026 ACM New Male Artist of the Year nominee and a member of the 2026 Opry NextStage Class. He was named a Billboard Country Rookie of the Month, a 2025 Artist to Watch by Spotify, Country Now, Holler, The Country Wire, and a SiriusXM all-genre Five for 2025. Country Central predicts: "Westbrook’s rise shows potential to lead a new generation of artists in the Texas country realm." ABOUT KENNY WHITMIRE Georgia-born crooner Kenny Whitmire is cutting through the noise with a “rich, wine-smooth vocal… steeped in timeless country sounds reminiscent of Randy Travis and Keith Whitley” (Billboard). The everyman upstart writes, sings, lives, and breathes traditional country music, with a classic bent and undeniable beer joint appeal, drawing inspiration from predecessors like Merle Haggard and Daryle Singletary. Relocating to Nashville in 2022 from Woodstock, GA after one semester of college, Whitmire fell quickly into Music City’s songwriting community, sharpening plainspoken-yet-profound story songs and a quietly confident vocal, and honing in on his authentic take on the throwback sound he grew up on. Fueled by an unexpected combination of a rabid, grassroots fandom and Charlie Puth-fueled internet magic, Whitmire is ascending to new heights, with his debut EP, Fool In A King Size Bed, out now. Catch Kenny on the road throughout 2026, supporting Tracy Lawrence, Billy Currington, Ian Munsick, and more. ABOUT ETHAN BURDICK Ethan Burdick is a 21-year-old singer-songwriter based in Nashville, TN. Originally from Vancouver, WA, he got his start playing drums in marching band, jazz band and at local gigs before discovering a passion for songwriting and performing. After being discovered on TikTok Live by Back Blocks Founder & CEO Rakiyah Marshall, Burdick moved to Nashville in 2025 to pursue music full time. Since releasing his debut single, "I Get The Picture," in April 2026, he has generated more than five million views on TikTok ahead of its release, earned playlist support from SiriusXM Hits 1, been named one of the channel's coveted Hits 1 To Watch artists, and appeared on a billboard in New York City's Times Square. He followed with the release of his second single, "Hold You," and has shared the stage with Jelly Roll and Hudson Westbrook. Inspired by artists including Lizzy McAlpine, Noah Kahan, Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber, Burdick pairs emotionally driven songwriting with a voice that's as compelling live as it is in the studio, drawing on a perspective shaped in part by growing up with five sisters.
