About Kelleigh Bannen:

EMI Nashville recording artist Kelleigh Bannen is a Nashville native who always dreamed of becoming an artist.  After graduating from college in Virginia, Bannen made her way back to her hometown, where she began to write and craft her sound.  It was while on the “90in90” tour, in which Kelleigh played 90 gigs in 90 days to benefit the Butler Center for research that she connected with legendary country producer Paul Worley (Lady Antebellum, Martina McBride). In the past year, Kelleigh has been hard at work in the studio with Paul Worley and Jerry Smith recording her debut album. She is currently on her radio promo tour, supporting her debut single “Sorry On The Rocks.”

About Jon Pardi:

Hailing from a small town called Dixon in Northern California, Jon Pardi’s first taste of country music stardom started in his Grandmother’s house at the tender age of 3. The singer-songwriter spent his youth perfecting his craft – by 8 years old, he was playing the guitar and at 12, he was writing his own songs.  Determined to make his dream of country music fame a reality, Pardi moved to Nashville at 22 years old, where his unique musical style led to a record deal with Capitol Records Nashville. Pardi has shared the stage with Eric Church, Zac Brown Band, Dierks Bentley, Pat Green, Gary Allan and Luke Bryan.  Pardi’s first single “Missin’ You Crazy” is out at country radio now.
