Tyler Hilton
Tyler Hilton was singing and playing in coffee houses as a 15 year old, when a chance encounterwith Los Angeles radio personalities Mark and Brian from KLOS led to multiple appearances ontheir radio show, live concert dates with the duo, and national exposure. He released his firstalbum independently shortly thereafter, which led to major label interest and eventually signing toMaverick/ Warner Records where he released "The Tracks of Tyler Hilton" which garnered twosingles on the Billboard Top 40 charts. While on tour promoting the album, Tyler was cast as hischild hood hero Elvis Presley in "Walk the Line" where he worked with T-Bone Burnett on thesoundtrack, and for which he received a gold record.An opportunity to sing on TV's "One Tree Hill," a notorious breeding ground for new musical talent,led to a series long run, several appearances on MTV's "TRL" with the cast, and a national tourwith Gavin DeGraw and Michelle Branch who also sang on the show. Taylor Swift admitted tobeing a fan, and asked Tyler to star in her music video "Tear Drops on My Guitar" which became ahuge crossover hit. The two appeared together live several times and later Tyler appeared viainteractive video on her stadium tour. The independent comedy "Charlie Bartlett" followed withRobert Downey Jr. and Anton Yelchin and where Tyler met his wife, Megan Park, who was also inthe film.Tyler moved to Nashville where he began exploring his family's country roots and made severalrecords with notable producers including Dan Huff, Nathan Chapman, Matt Serletic, and JohnAlagia. Sadly, non of these records saw the light of day, as staff and roster upheaval plaguedWarner Brother Records, and eventually led to Tyler's departure from the label. One of theseunreleased songs made their way to Joe Cocker, who recorded it on his final album. Tyler thenstarted his own label, Hooptie Tune Records, and released "Forget the Storm" the following year. Itbecame the first record of Tyler's to gain international success and led to several European toursand a new fervent fan base. His follow up, the mellow folky country album "Indian Summer," wasrecorded live in studio with a bluegrass band including his uncle, Tommy Hilton, on guitar. Whilerecording, Tyler landed a role in Halle Berry's "Extant" on CBS and continued to film the show overthe course of its two season run, touring and filming the holiday movie "Christmas on the Bayou"with Randy Travis, Ed Asner, and "One Tree Hill" alum, Hilarie Burton, for which he also recordedthe single "One Foot in the Bayou".Following the end of "Extant," Tyler worked on a pilot for the ABC sitcom, "The Fluffy Shop"alongside Gabriel Iglesias. Tyler's currently based in Los Angeles, where he's working on a newalbum and is gearing up for a 30 Date US Tour in November and December of 2016.

Hailing from a little suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, Kate Voegele first picked up a guitar at age 15.Influenced by the rock and roll history of the city and her father's songwriting, she began to penher own songs from the minute she learned to play her first three chords. Voegele embraced thisnewfound passion, recording her first EP during her freshman year of high school, and soon afterlanded gigs alongside artists like Counting Crows and John Mayer. Those shows quickly led toattention from labels in New York and LA, and Kate spent the majority of her high school yearsdiving headfirst into a career in music. After high school, Voegele decided to attend Ohio's Miami University, where she quickly found newinspiration, and simultaneously found herself uploading song after song to her MySpace page.Kate managed to get the attention of the social network's founder, Tom Anderson, and just a fewweeks later, she became MySpace Records' first signed artist. In spring of 2007 Voegele finishedrecording her first full-length record with Marshall Altman in LA and decided to swap her textbooks in for a tour bus and a year full of shows throughout the US.Over the next couple of years Voegele toured the country playing hundreds of shows.
