Superstar Luke Bryan has quickly become one of Nashville's most sought after entertainers.  His "That's My Kind of Night Tour" is currently playing across the US and Canada, selling out all concerts to date.  His previous tour performed for 1.3 million fans in 2013 and it was clear after performing for a sold-out crowd at Summerfest 2013, Milwaukee loves Luke Bryan.  The two-time ACM co-host, who received the 2013 ACM Entertainer of The Year honor, recently celebrated the No. 1 debut of his digital EP Spring Break 6...Like We Ain't Ever.

17-year-old Danielle Bradbery is the youngest winner ever of NBC’s The Voice.  She charmed her way into the national spotlight with a mix of country hits from several decades and her coach on The Voice, Blake Shelton, called her “the most important artist to ever walk across The Voice stage.”
