Adam Wainwright, a three-time All-Star MLB pitcher, spent his distinguished career with the St. Louis Cardinals, playing pivotal roles in their 2006 and 2011 World Series victories. After retiring, he transitioned to broadcasting with FOX Sports and MLB Network. Pursuing another passion, Wainwright released his debut country music album, Hey Y’all, in February 2024, collaborating with Grammy-winning producer Gary Baker. He lives in Georgia with his wife Jenny and their five children.

Austin Bohannon, a rising country music star from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, brings electrifying energy to the southern music scene. A former D1 baseball player and pre-med student turned musician, he captivates audiences with high-energy anthems and authentic storytelling. With over a million streams and notable collaborations, Bohannon has established himself as a dynamic performer, delivering unforgettable musical experiences that blend country music with infectious, celebratory vibes.

Memphis-born and Arkansas-raised, Joanna Cotten is a Juilliard-trained vocalist with a versatile musical journey. From early voice studies to a scholarship at Juilliard, she transitioned from opera to country music, landing at EMI Music Publishing. Best known for her collaborations with Eric Church, singing on nearly all of his albums and touring for eight years, Cotten is now returning to her solo music aspirations after writing hits for LeAnn Rimes and others.
