Wade Hayes

Wade Hayes was in his early 20s when he began churning out such enduring hits as "Old Enough to Know Better," "I'm Still Dancing with You," "On a Good Night" and "What I Meant to Say." A second generation country singer from Bethel Acres, Oklahoma, Hayes grew up watching his dad perform. The young guitarist's dream was to be the next Don Rich, Buck Owens' revered guitar player and one of country music's most legendary sidemen. "I was a big fan of Don Rich and I thought that's what I wanted to do," he recalls. "That's what I moved to Nashville for."

Hayes began realizing that goal when Johnny Lee tapped the young musician to be his lead guitarist, but he just wasn't meant to be a sideman. "Record label people started coming to watch me play and the next thing I knew everything was happening fast," says Hayes, who landed a publishing deal just nine months after moving to Nashville, and a contract with Columbia Records soon after. His debut single, "Old Enough to Know Better," hit No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and Hayes was nominated for the ACM's Top New Male Vocalist honor. Two of Hayes' four major label albums have been certified gold by the RIAA, and hits such as "Don't Stop, "The Day That She Left Tulsa (In a Chevy)" and "How Do You Sleep at Night" continue to be fan favorites in his shows.

Jim Stafford

Jim Stafford is an American comedian, musician, singer-songwriter, and actor. Best known for his humorous country novelty songs of the mid-70's, Jim Stafford also enjoyed a lengthy career as a television personality and live entertainer. He was born in the Florida town of Eloise, near Winter Haven. He grew up in a musical family and taught himself how to play a variety of instruments, including the guitar, fiddle, piano, harmonica, and banjo . After high school, Jim moved to Nashville and joined Jumpin' Bill Carlisle's backing band

Stafford was performing in Clearwater, FL, when he ran into Lobo and asked if he would consider recording Jim's original "The Swamp Witch." Lobo suggested that Stafford record it himself, and helped him land a contract with MGM; he would later produce many of Jim's singles as well. "The Swamp Witch" reached the Top 40 in 1973, but it was the following year's "Spiders and Snakes" -- a song co-written with David Bellamy of The Bellamy Brothers -- that brought Jim Stafford into the big time. The song peaked at number three on the pop charts, was certified Gold by the RIAA, and helped make him a household name.

His sense of humor was also showcased on the follow-up hits "My Girl Bill" and "Wildwood Weed," the latter another Top Ten pop hit. He charted in the Top 40 again in 1975 with "Your Bulldog Drinks Champagne" and "I Got Stoned and I Missed It."

By that time, Jim was enough of a celebrity to get his own prime-time variety show, "The Jim Stafford Show" on ABC. In 1981, Stafford appeared in the Clint Eastwood movie, "Any Which Way but Loose" and contributed the chart single, "Cow Patti," to the soundtrack. The following year, he wrote three songs for Disney's animated feature The Fox and the Hound. He hosted two television programs, Those Amazing Animals and Nashville on the Road. In the early '80s and later in the decade, he served as a writer for the Smothers Brothers return to prime-time television. In the meantime, he continued to tour and record.

Stafford has headlined at his own theater in Branson, MO since 1990. He continues to entertain there and at venues all across the country.

The Sam Gyllenhaal Band

The Sam Gyllenhaal Band has found the sweet spot. That place where rich three-part harmony and thoughtful, catchy songwriting come together - but it wasn’t easy to find.  Sam has been writing, woodshedding, recording, and gigging over a span of 10 years that has included living in 3 cities, 5 or 6 day jobs, and hundreds of song demos.   

Joined by his frequent co-writer Alaina Stacey and long-time friend and bandmate Alex Schreiner, the Sam Gyllenhaal Band officially came together in 2017.  Alaina brings a beautifully pure tone and an out-of-this-world knack for blending. Alex, who has known Sam since their college a cappella days, has a voice that complements and magnifies Sam's smooth tenor - he’s also been known to play the shaker like it owes him money.  

Their pop, rock, and country influences inspire their songs' cascading melodies, driving grooves and vivid lyrics. The band likes to sing about life and love in motion - sometimes soaring, sometimes stumbling, but always moving forward.

In March 2017 Lacy J Dalton was inducted into the North American Country Music Association International Hall of Fame, and in 2018 she was nominated for a Lifetime Achievement Award. 

She’s one of the most instantly recognizable voices in music – the woman People Magazine called “Country’s Bonnie Raitt.” From the first time Lacy J Dalton caught the public’s ear, that soulful delivery, full of texture and grit, has been a mainstay of Country Music.

In June 1979, Lacy J Dalton was signed by Columbia Records and quickly rose to national prominence with Crazy Blue Eyes, which she wrote with her longest friend, Mary McFadden, and which raced to #7 on the Billboard Country Charts. Lacy’s success was powered not just by the artist’s recordings, but by a stage show that truly electrified audiences. She quickly became one of the few women who could successfully open a show for the likes of Hank Williams, Jr., Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard or Charlie Daniels. Not only could she do it, but she left audiences across the country hollering for more. Her signature song 16th Avenue, became the Anthem for Nashville songwriters and was voted one of Country’s Top 100 Songs ever by Billboard Magazine. Her other hit records are legendary million-airplay cuts and include Crazy Blue Eyes, Takin’ It Easy, Everybody Makes Mistakes, Hillbilly Girl with the Blues, Hard Times, and the worldwide hit Black Coffee.
