DEE JAY SILVER, the first and only DJ signed to a major Nashville record deal, RCA Nashville/Sony Music, has been one of the most sought after open-format DJs over the past 15 years, performing at premier venues in virtually every major market in the U.S., Mexico and Canada. Known for his unique ability to blend all types of music from hip hop and rock to house and country into one set for crowds of all sizes, SILVER has been traveling the world playing every kind of event and venue from the largest nightclubs, high-profile celebrity parties and exclusive private events to massive sporting events, award shows, major music festivals and arena tours and all that’s in between. Additionally, SILVER hosts a nationally syndicated weekly radio show called “The Country Club with Dee Jay Silver” airing every Friday and Saturday nights in over 70 markets via the Sun Broadcast Group. On top of his extensive touring schedule, appearances and radio show, the non-stop DJ known for his high energy performances also currently holds down three residencies in Las Vegas: at the Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay, LAX Nightclub inside the Luxor Hotel & Casino and the Rehab Beach Club at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Rock ‘n’ roll epitomizes escapism in its purest form.

It’s not just artistic anesthetization either, but rather a galvanizing force that inspires us to keep pushing through life’s trials and tribulations. That’s why we still listen to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Rush, and countless others all these years later. It’s the same reason audiences will be talking about BACKUP PLANET’s second full-length album, REACTIONS (released March 31, 2017), for a long time to come. The Nashville, TN quartet—Ben Cooper [keys, vocals], Chris Potocik [drums, vocals], Gavin Donati [guitar, vocals], and Blake Gallant [bass, vocals]—write arena-size anthems echoing with progressive intricacy, funk swagger, and even a little metallic edge. BACKUP PLANET quickly became a local favorite around the University of Tennessee Knoxville. They independently released their full-length debut, Element, during 2015 and began sharing the stage with the likes of The Revivalists, Papadosio, and more in addition to headlining countless packed shows. RELIX proclaimed them “On The Verge,” and one fateful gig led to signing with powerhouse management firm Red Light Management [Dave Matthews Band, My Morning Jacket, Dopapod, Phish,].

Formed in 2012, THE WALCOTTS began spreading their music through multiple TV and film placements, while also earning a well-deserved rep as a powerful live act (with personnel growing as large as nine players on stage). They’ll be performing Stagecoach 2017 and in recent times have opened dates for Steve Winwood, Chris Isaak and Honeyhoney before landing a 2015 Chris Stapleton West Coast tour. Live, THE WALCOTTS bring the nuances of their recorded material to life with every show–including recent gigs alongside LeeAnn Womack, Lindi Ortega, Kate Voegele and Men at Work’s Colin Hay–building upward toward an explosion of horns, organ, guitar and dual vocals.
