COOPER ALAN
With the heart of a showman and the hustle of a modern independent artist, Cooper Alan is bringing fearless creativity and unfiltered authenticity to country music. A native of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Alan has built a massive, self-made fanbase online with over 18 million followers and 1 billion + streams through heartfelt storytelling, clever humor, or outside-the-box genre mashups.
With the release of his debut full-length album Winston-Salem, out now, Alan introduces the world to every side of himself: the reflective songwriter, the good-time party starter, the husband, father, and the Southern kid proud of where he comes from. Split into two halves, Winston for the introspective tracks and Salem for the rowdy, genre-bending anthems. The album follows his 2023 concept EP Take Forever, which chronicled his real-life love story and marriage.
Alan’s journey began in cover bands and Nashville honky-tonks, but his career took off through viral videos and a direct, genuine connection with fans. From mental health meditations to unapologetic drinking songs, he’s proven himself as one of country’s most fearless new voices, blending country, rock, pop, and hip-hop influences with sharp writing, big hooks, and a live show that’s sold over 200,000 tickets globally, including sold-out headline tours in Australia, Canada, and UK/Ireland.
Named a Pandora Ten Artist To Watch and part of the SiriusXM + Pandora 2024 Future Five, Alan hit #1 on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Countdown with his breakout single “Take Forever.” His latest tracks, including “Plead The Fifth”, “Holy Ghost”, “Dale Dickens (RIP)”, and “Hard Acre” signal what is to come for this next chapter of music.
THOMAS MAC
Thomas Mac moved to Nashville from his hometown of Beaver Creek, OH when he was just 20 years old to go all in and pursue his dreams in music. Since then, he has entertained his fans with his diverse songwriting and captivating personality. Thomas was one of the first to unleash the true power of social media to connect with fans and has amassed over 6 million followers across all platforms. Drawing influence from some of his musical heroes like Toby Keith, Elvis, Brad Paisley, and Johnny Cash, Thomas has the ability to make a listener laugh one moment and then pull at their heart the next.
