You don’t sell over two million copies of your debut album without some serious hard work, and Australian singer/songwriter Vance Joy has never been shy of major elbow grease. When Vance Joy first cut his teeth performing at open mic nights in Melbourne, he was feeding on a diet of artists like The Pogues and Paul Kelly. By 2013 he was ready to introduce the world to his ukulele-led charm ‘Riptide’, which became an instant global classic. The connection and journey his music was about to have on the world in years to come was an unexpected reward to the young songwriter.

Vance Joy (born James Keogh) consolidated on that first impression with further anthems ‘Mess is Mine’, ‘Georgia’ and ‘Fire and the Flood’. Those hits all found a home on the 2014’s debut ’dream your life away’. Vance Joy spent 2013 and 2014 playing clubs around the world before the album was released which then saw him surface everywhere from singing on the American Idol Season Final to being handpicked to open Taylor Swift’s 1989 World Tour, festivals from Lollapalooza in Chicago and South America, to Coachella, Splendour in the Grass and the AFL Grand Final. After his successful Sold Out 2016 ‘Fire and The Flood’ North American theatre run, and Australian performances at the Sydney Opera House, Margaret Court Arena and Riverstage he took a well-earned rest.

Come July 2017 – Vance Joy kicked off the campaign for his sophomore album ‘Nation of Two’ with the lead single ‘Lay It On Me’ showing it was destined to be another successful album. The track was followed six months later with the album and follow up single ‘Saturday Sun’, a tune so good that he held up delivering Nation of Two to ensure it made the cut.

The success of ‘Nation of Two’ saw Vance Joy tour the world throughout 2018 on the ‘Nation of Two World Tour’ ranging in venues from Arena’s across Canada, amphitheatres in North America including the famous Red Rocks, the first Latin American headline shows, theatres across Europe and Arena’s across Australia including two sold-out hometown shows at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena. November 2018, the end of the 83 date World Tour, Vance Joy had yet another offer to tour with one of the world’s biggest female artists. P!NK extended an offer for Vance Joy to join her European stadium run on her Beautiful Trauma World Tour. Summer 2019 saw Vance Joy and band join her biggest tour to date and enjoy an extensive run of Stadium shows across Europe before taking another well-earned break to work on album number three.

In 2021 Vance Joy returned with ‘Missing Piece’, the song soon hit x2 Platinum in Australia, #1 at USA Triple A Radio, #2 on the Australian Radio Chart, #2 at the USA and Canada Alternative Radio Chart and won Best Video at the ARIA Awards. Released in June 2022, ‘In Our Own Sweet Time’, the third album by Vance Joy featured hit single, ‘Clarity’ which peaked at #3 on the USA Alt Radio Charts. The song spent one week at #1, nine weeks in the Top 5 and eleven weeks in the Top 10 on the Triple A Radio Charts in the US. In Australia, Vance Joy received 5 ARIA Nominations after the album’s release including, Best Solo Artist, Best Adult Contemporary Artist, Best Pop Release for Clarity, Song of the Year for Clarity and Best Video for Every Side of You. Winning Best Video for the 2nd year in a row.

With 5 billion streams across all platforms, it’s no surprise that listeners all over the world connect to Vance Joys intimate yet anthemic song writing. His lyrics take you on a journey that will reach out and hold you for a delicate moment. Bringing together a unique, charming mix of folk music with pop influences, these songs capture the familiar pulse of everyday experiences in a unique and celebratory manner.

Evan Honer

Evan Honer was still a college student in Southern California when his music — a mix of acoustic folk, indie-Americana, and alternative pop, delivered by a young songwriter who’s never been afraid to blur the boundaries between genres — began earning a global audience. It happened fast. One minute, he was uploading performance videos to social media with little response. The next, he was a viral success, earning 100 million streams with his version of the Tyler Childers deep cut “Jersey Giant” and building a following with his original music, too. On graduation day, Honer released West On I-10, a debut album that quickly led to viral success as well as months of sold-out headline shows across America and Europe.  

For his sophomore album Fighting For, Honer decided to keep things simple. Turning down seven-figure offers from virtually every major label & grammy award winning producers, Fighting For was recorded by close friends in small studios, churches, Air Bnb’s and living rooms and is being released by Evan’s own independent label Cloverdale Records. With 500 million streams and counting and carving a new path in the music industry as a 100% independent artist, this is still just the beginning of Evan’s journey.

Jonah Kagen

A Savannah, GA native, Jonah Kagen is the embodiment of raw talent and relentless dedication. At just 25, Jonah has already made waves with over 386 million global streams, 2.5 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and two critically acclaimed EPs—The Roads and Black Dress, featuring hit “God Needs The Devil” which is presently Top 15 at Alternative radio and was chosen as one of Spotify’s Best Pop Songs of 2024.

Jonah’s unique artistry extends beyond his deep, universally resonant songwriting. He is also a skilled guitarist and instrumentalist, having played many instruments since childhood. And to round out his self-sufficiency, he has taught himself how to produce every note, most recently in an Airstream that he transformed into his personal mobile studio.

The Airstream isn’t just a fun adventure; it’s a reflection of Jonah’s spirit, drawing inspiration from both nature and legends before him like Townes Van Zandt, Jason Isbell, and Andy McKee. Whether touring on his sold-out solo dates or performing alongside the likes of Sam Barber and Chance Peña in the US and abroad, Jonah’s sound is a blend of personal experience and universal connection. Unsurprisingly, Jonah’s balance of grit and musicality make him a festival mainstay having performed at the historic Austin City Limits, AmericanaFest, Summerfest, and RedWestwith and will continue this summer with stops at RiverBeat, Under The Big Sky, Calgary Stampede, Bourbon & Beyond, and more.

With his electrifying energy, sincere songwriting, and genre-defying sound, Jonah Kagen is one to watch.

Kyle Schuesler

Kyle Schuesler is a 20 year old singer- songwriter from Huntington Beach, California. A multi-instrumentalist, he writes and records original music that blends West Coast folk with the rich storytelling of country, influenced by his time spent in Nashville. Kyle was shown on Season 25 of The Voice, gaining national recognition for his unique sound.
