RECORDS Nashville multi-Platinum artist Matt Stell made his mark on country music with his back-to-back chart-toppers: 2X Platinum “Prayed For You” and Platinum “Everywhere But On.” Stell is speaking his truth for the first time in his autobiographical debut album, Born Lonely (RECORDS Nashville), which includes the single, “Breakin’ In Boots.” Amassing over half a billion global career streams, he’s the first-ever artist to receive a virtual plaque from the RIAA for multi-week breakout “Prayed For You,” and is an ASCAP Pop and Country most-performed song awards winner. Stacking high-profile TV appearances with Good Morning America, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Bachelor in Paradise, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s #LateShowMeMusic digital series, he’s also performed the national anthem for major NASCAR and NFL events. For touring, he’s supported Miranda Lambert, Old Dominion, and Chris Young. With Billboard touting his “versatile” style, collaborations include his “One Of Us” remix featuring Chase Matthew, as well as having a guest spot on “When You Know" (Cheat Codes), “Over You is You” (Tenille Arts), and “Hometown Boys” (Dierks Bentley and HARDY). Launching Give A Damn Foundation in 2020, his charitable efforts have supported St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Doctors Without Borders, and the Humane Society, among others.

Hailing from a quaint town in Co. Cork, Ireland, Darren Kiely’s folk-infused pop sound originates from his inherited love of traditional Irish music, intertwined with modern influences such as The Lumineers and Noah Kahan. At just five years old, Darren learned the tin whistle, and at eight years old he picked up the fiddle, eventually teaching himself to play guitar as well. Darren began singing in 2019, quickly garnering attention for his raw and fervent vocals and emotive delivery. After winning numerous honors at a national level in Irish traditional music, Darren found his way to New York in 2022 to continue developing his own music and sound. Since then, he has entered Ireland’s top 50 viral charts on three separate occasions: with his debut single “How Could You Love Me,” followed by “Ella” and “Time To Leave.”

The singer-songwriter recently added buzzworthy new track “Mom & Dad” to his repertoire, which debuted in the Top 40 on the Irish Singles Chart and also landed him in the Top 5 on the Irish Home Grown chart. With over 6.5 million total global streams under his belt and recent sold out shows at Rockwood Music Hall and Mercury Lounge in New York and The Basement in Nashville, Darren is set to bring his THE ROAD HOME TOUR to his home country of Ireland in November. With stops in Cork, Dublin, Galway and Limerick, the tour sold out the same day it went on sale.

EMG songwriter Johnny Dailey has recently been working with producer Frank Liddell (Miranda Lambert, Chris Knight, David Nail) to record a batch of songs for an upcoming project he’s calling Name on My Shirt. It’s a rebirth for the singer, songwriter, and guitarist, whose first stab at Nashville success just didn’t ring true to him. The songs Johnny was cutting when he first came to town didn’t feel real or lived-in, and after a break from music, he decided to try again by leaning hard into some challenging events that nearly derailed his entire life. Co-writers on the upcoming project include Allen Shamblin, Billy Montana, Mando Saenz, and Austin Cunningham, and Johnny's frequent co-writers also include Scooter Carusoe, Tom Douglas, Kyle Schlienger, and Daymon Osborn.
