Opening act – Atlus.

Opener – Raised in a single-parent home marked by poverty and addiction, Atlus had to grow up fast, building incredible resilience and laying the foundation for a life rooted in the search for authentic relationships and honest storytelling. Phonetically named after the mythological Titan who held up the heavens, Atlus wrote his first two (of four) albums while working as a commercial driver behind the wheel of semi-trucks, using the long, lonesome miles of highway to craft lyrics and workshop melodies as he drove countless hours to help support his family and fund studio time.

That pavement-pounding lifestyle became both his education and his engine. Over time, it helped grow his underground following and ultimately led to breakout moments like performing alongside Jelly Roll at a packed Red Rocks Amphitheatre in his home state, and landing a Top 5 album on Spotify’s Global Album Chart, along with a Platinum single. The magic of Atlus lies in how he marries candid, arresting, and often dark subjects with a kaleidoscope of sound. His music blends multiple styles into something fresh and immersive, anchored by storytelling that creates a deep community with his fans. Now with over a billion on-demand streams and two million followers across socials, Atlus continues to build his career on real connections and tenacity. He’s holding up his musical dreams in support of his family and anyone who turns to music as an outlet for their own struggles. Signed to BBR Music group/BMG Nashville, his debut release on the label, “Devil Ain’t Done” is available now HERE.

Rooted in the storytelling of country’s golden era but driven by the rebellious spark of punk

rock, Sony Music Nashville’s Dylan Marlowe is redefining what “three chords and the truth”

can sound like. Raised in Statesboro, Georgia, Marlowe blends small-town authenticity with an

edge honed from influences like Eric Church, Blink-182, and Limp Bizkit — a mix that gives his

music both grit and heart.

After dropping out of Georgia Southern to chase songwriting in Nashville, he quickly earned a

publishing deal and went on to co-write Jon Pardi’s #1 hit “Last Night Lonely.” His own

releases — including the viral “drivers license” country flip, fan-favorite “Record High,” and

“Boys Back Home” (feat. Dylan Scott) — have amassed more than 266 million streams,

cementing him as one of country’s most dynamic new voices.

Now with his debut album Mid-Twenties Crisis, Marlowe captures the chaos and clarity of his

generation — a raw, unfiltered look at growing up, holding on, and learning to stand firm when

life doesn’t go as planned. Featuring collaborations with Riley Green and Dylan Scott, the

record proves Marlowe isn’t chasing trends — he’s carving his own lane, pairing conviction with

chaos and country with something louder.

“I’ve just started growing into my roots,” Marlowe says. “This album is everything I’ve lived —
