Comprised of vocalist/frontman Jack Wharff, drummer Garrett Howell, bassist Ryan Atchison and guitarist Evan Novoa, the salt of the earth four-piece have quickly captivated audiences with their infectious energy and unrelenting passion for the craft.

O-TOWN & LFO

O-TOWN
Formed in 2000 during the hit ABC/MTV reality television series Making the Band, O-Town became an iconic fixture of early 2000s pop culture. Handpicked by music executive Clive Davis as the flagship act for J Records, the multi-platinum group exploded onto the charts with hit singles like "Liquid Dreams" and their signature #1 pop ballad "All or Nothing".

LFO
The short bio looks like this: LFO is Brad Fischetti, the disappeared Devin Lima, and the late great Rich Cronin. We burst on to the scene in 1999 with the smash hit Summer Girls from our debut self-titled album. We followed Summer Girls with another top-ten hit in Girl on TV. In 2001, we released our second album, Life is Good, which spawned the top-ten hit, Every Other Time. We decided to go on hiatus in 2002. In 2005, Rich was diagnosed with leukemia. In 2009 we regrouped for a reunion tour. It was short but perhaps the closest we have ever been as a group. We realized the deep love and respect we had for each other and our bond was fortified. In 2010 we lost Rich to his earthly battle with cancer but our brother won eternal life in Heaven.

PARMALEE

With over 1.6 billion streams, six number one country hits, and a growing list of platinum singles, Parmalee has cemented their place as a hit-making powerhouse. Comprised of brothers Matt & Scott Thomas (lead vocals/guitar & drums, respectively), cousin Barry Knox(bass) and lifelong friend Josh McSwain, the North Carolina-bred band most recently topped the charts with their longest-running number one single, “Cowgirl“, the lead release from the album, Fell In Love With A Cowgirl. This single would become the longest-running number one by a band in nearly 14 years on the Billboard Country Airplay charts and marks Parmalee’s fifth consecutive number one following the massive success of number one fan favorites “Take My Name” (Billboard’s most-played country song of 2022), “Girl In Mine” (Billboard’s 8th most-played country song of 2023), “Just the Way” with Blanco Brown & the emotional ballad “Gonna Love You” that revisited the near-death experience the band endured earlier in their career.
