Artist: Brantley Gilbert & Lindsay Ell
Hometowns: Jefferson, GA // Calgary, AB
Genre: Country
Related: Randy Houser, Chris Young, Carrie Underwood, Meghan Patrick
Song: What Happens In A Small Town
Notes: Gilbert and Ell combine for a duet that we didn’t know we were waiting for. The gruff Georgia boy is a great fit with the guitar-slinging Canadian singer, and What Happens In A Small Town just works. This tribute to smalltown heartbreak and lost love is going to get a lot of plays.

Artist: Dylan Scott
Hometown:
Genre: Country
Related: Michael Ray, Seth Ennis, Ryan Hurd
Song: Eastside
Notes: It’s a benny blanco // Halsey // Khalid cover, but I couldn’t help but include it. We’ve been high on Dylan Scott since we first learned his name, and as he continues to grow and play with the pop side of country music, singles like Eastside pair perfectly with his own tracks like Hooked.

Artist: Ches Anthony
Hometown: Saskatoon, SK
Genre: Country
Related: Andrew Hyatt, David James, Shawn Austin
Song: Written In Stone
Notes: The debut solo single from Ches Anthony feels like the start of something special from a dude that has cut his teeth as a songwriter, frontman, and session musician in country music. Written In Stone is the introduction of a new path for Anthony, and if we get more like this in the near future, we’ll be happy about it.
