About Jade Eagleson
Boasting 305M+ global streams and 120M+ views on YouTube since the debut of his self-titled album (2020), which holds four GOLD-certified and two PLATINUM-certified singles (“Got Your Name On It,” “Count the Ways”), as well as the title of most globally streamed debut album by an internationally-signed country artist in history, Jade has also landed four #1s at Canadian Country Radio (“Lucky,” “All Night To Figure It Out,” “More Drinkin’ Than Fishin’” feat. Dean Brody, “She Don’t Know”), three GOLD and one PLATINUM-certified track (“She Don’t Know”) from his sophomore album as well another two GOLD-certified tracks on his third album Do It Anyway.
These last few years have been unmatched for the Ontario native. Jade kicked off 2024 with his third JUNO nomination for Country Album of the Year and last year was named the 2023 CCMA Awards Entertainer of the Year and Male Artist of the Year, also taking home the award for Innovative Campaign of the Year. This follows his monumental win for Top Selling Canadian Album with his sophomore release Honkytonk Revival at the 2022 CCMA Awards. Jade’s third studio album, Do It Anyway and single Telluride are available everywhere now.
About Madeline Merlo
With a crystalline Country vocal and an international rep for writing vivid scenes of emotional insight, BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville recording artist Madeline Merlo is a rising star with an old soul and a new school style. Already a Platinum-certified No. 1 songwriter poised to be a breakout artist, Merlo’s new project ONE HOUSE DOWN (from the girl next door) finds a self-described deep-feeler offering a message of encouragement to her younger self – and to all those who feel “a little different.”
Now, after being named to CMT Next Women of Country class of 2024, she calls ONE HOUSE DOWN (from the girl next door) her most emotionally insightful project yet – a six-song message of self-worth that comes with a superstar boost and plays to her creative strength. The first peek into her forthcoming project arrives August 9th with the melodic “Broken Heart Thing (feat. Dustin Lynch),” and the full project will be available October 11th. Merlo can be found on the road throughout the U.S. and Canada this summer.
