Lady Antebellum – 'Lady Antebellum'

Lady Antebellum consists of Charles Kelly, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood. They released their self-titled debut in April 2008. The first single "Love Don't Live Here" shot up to No. 3 on the charts, and the trio joined Martina McBride on the road to promote their album. Their second single "Looking for a Good Time" is a Top 20 hit, and still rising. One of the things I love most about Lady Antebellum is that they don't stick with one lead singer. The future looks very bright indeed for this talented group, who picked up the ACM Top New Vocal Group/Duo Award in May, and the CMA New Artist Award in November.

Lost Trailers – 'Holler Back'

The Lost Trailers have been around a while, having released two independent albums – "Trailer Trash" and "Welcome to the Woods" before being signed by major label BNA Nashville. Their first major label was released in 2006, and produced two singles that failed to crack the Top 40. Magic struck when the guys released the fun "Holler Back." The song eventually reached No. 9 on the charts, and their second single "How 'Bout You Don't" is making its way up the charts as well.

Zac Brown Band – 'The Foundation'

One day I heard this catchy little song called "Chicken Fried," and soon after, everyone was requesting the song, and it has become the band's first No. 1 song. The Zac Brown Band actually originated four years ago, and they've been touring ever since, playing upwards of 200 dates a year. A live show that leaves people that didn't know who they were when they got there becoming fans, singing along as they leave the show.

Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Sugarhill Records) – Sugar Hill/Vanguard artists Joey+Rory received their first Academy of Country Music nomination for Top Vocal Duo. Alongside country veterans Brooks & Dunn, Big & Rich, Montgomery Gentry, and Sugarland, the duo has some stiff competition.

"When I heard the news this morning, I told Joey 'guess who just got nominated for an ACM Award', and then I said 'Happy Valentines Day love'," explains Rory Feek – one half of the duo."I'm scoring big points as a husband here! But seriously, just to be nominated for an ACM award in any category at any time, is an honor…but to be listed on the same ballot with 4 duos that are heroes of ours…that's crazy!"

The following is a review from Club Connection's official contact at Boomer's, Greogeann Richards. 

 "Matt is so charismatic and so down to earth. His music is diversified, lively and so entertaining. He encouraged the dancers to get up out of their seats and onto the dance floor. The fiddle player got right down there with the dancers as if everyone was a part of the show. The audience could not have gotten a better show no matter how much they paid to get in. From the time he stepped onto the stage until they packed up and left was like we were all one happy family having a party. It started at 9p and didn't end until the club closed. His eyes “shine” with the love of country music and his music tells the stories. My new love for country music is MATT STILLWELL!

He is a true gentleman; his entire band was so polite. It was a real pleasure working with these guys".
