Meet
Will Banister
Will Banister brings a classic country sound shaped by small-town New Mexico roots and a deep love for Haggard, Strait, and ’90s radio gold. With a voice built for fiddle and steel, Banister has toured across the U.S. and Europe, earning critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase. His song “Find a New Home” appeared in Clint Eastwood’sCry Macho, landing at #2 on the Shazam Discovery chart. A gifted songwriter and standout performer, Banister continues to build buzz with each release — including his latest single, “Right Where We Belong.”

Meet
Jamie Richards
Jamie Richards is a Texas country traditionalist with a modern edge — known for his steel-drenched heartbreak songs and plainspoken storytelling. Raised on a dairy farm in Oklahoma, he grew up singing gospel with his mom and playing honky-tonks across the state. After a stint in Nashville writing for artists like Cody Jinks and Kevin Fowler, Richards moved to Texas and never looked back. He’s released eight albums, notched 13 #1 singles on the Texas charts, and remains one of the most respected voices in real-deal country music. His next album drops in 2025.
