Riley Thomas
Riley Thomas has been writing and performing since the age of 14, when he joined a rock band in his hometown of Plant City, Florida. As the lead singer he quickly realized music was his calling, after hoping for a career in professional baseball before.
“I think music has always been in my blood — even when I tried to not write I always did, so I know I have to,” Thomas said.
Autumn McEntire
From the age of five, Autumn McEntire had a hairbrush microphone in hand and a dream in her heart. An Oklahoma native and a long-time Tennessee resident, Autumn is poised to make a name for herself in the industry with a range of songs that are raw yet polished and truly entertain the listener by appealing to an emotion.
Mae Estes
In 1999, a seven year old walked into the middle of an Arkansas rodeo arena with a cordless microphone and sang the national anthem a cappella for the first time, claiming she could do it better than LeAnn Rimes. She went on to perform at every rodeo she competed in, and eventually other sporting events, ceremonies and opries. Unlike most middle schoolers, Mae performed every Tuesday night on an AM radio show, where she first discovered her love for classic country music.
