ABOUT SPENCER CRANDALL: Unfiltered. Unconventional. And above all, unapologetic. Those are the defining traits of a whole new generation of Country star – and Spencer Crandall is one of them. As one of Country's most progressive new talents, self-made and as dynamic as they come, Crandall has no time to say “sorry” for his raw, soul-baring stories. Driven toward greatness, he's got no remorse for his big dreams, and pulls no punches with his ever-evolving sound. The Nashville based artist has spent years combining pop's untamed energy with the confessional lyricism of Country, opening up territory no one before him even knew existed – and with his ambitious new 20-track album, Western, the frontier expands again. Growing up in Denver with a tight knit family, the creative powerhouse was taught hard work and dedication, and learned his lessons well – even playing football in college. But when injuries ended his career, the standout athlete was officially out of his comfort zone. Fully embracing his natural, genre-defying instincts, with ultra-smooth vocals, deeply-personal themes and hot-blooded performances, Crandall now counts 1.2M monthly Spotify listeners, 300M total career streams, more than 2.7M followers on TikTok, and fan engagement so off the charts it drives sold-out shows around the nation. He released three albums before Western, made his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2022, and continues pushing toward the ultimate goal of a sold-out stadium performance – Western is just the next step.     ABOUT SHAYLEN: Nashville-based country artist Shaylen is no stranger to the world of country music; Her roots in the south are where her country and gospel influences came from and are the core of who she is as an artist. A powerhouse vocalist at a young age, Shaylen has always had music in her soul. After 10 years in Los Angeles, CA as a pop artist with Republic Records, Shaylen found it was her time to come home. Her inaugural country single, “What If I Don't” (July 2022), gained instant attention in the country music scene, reaching over 2.2 million streams across DSPs within the first month of its release, laying the groundwork for what's to come. Her second single, “Roots” (October 2022), one of her most personally fulfilling tracks, was exclusively unveiled by PEOPLE Magazine who praised, “Her new single 'Roots' is so very her… making it even more special is the fact that the song's nostalgic music video features a series of touching snapshots of her life thus far.” Although she's made the jump from pop music to country, Shaylen has always used her music as an avenue for working through emotions and experiences in life, while staying true to herself.
