Praised by industry giants like Jamey Johnson, Sadie’s unique blend of Country, Soul, Rock, and Americana has made her unstoppable. With wins at festivals and gigs alongside legends like Cody Jinks, Dennis Quaid, and Randy Houser, Sadie is fierce and a rising star on the music scene.

Isaac is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Mooresville, IN. Isaac began singing at age 2, playing guitar and banjo at 7 and multiple other stringed instruments by the time he had written his first song at age 10. Along with solo writes Isaac has co-writes with Delnora Reed, Chad Wilson, Kyle Wilson, and Carl Jackson.
