Jamie Lee Thurston
Jamie Lee Thurston, a former Warner Bros. recording artist and EMI songwriter, made his Billboard Country Charts debut with “It Can All Be Gone,” which also became a top #3 video. He's written hits for other artists, including Rodney Atkins’ “15 Minutes” (#16) and the Texas #1 “Livin’ the Good Life.” His songs have been recorded by Trace Adkins, Montgomery Gentry, Chris Cagle, and co-written with Nashville talents, including Grammy-winner Chris Stapleton. Thurston’s own latest chart success was the top #30 “Givin’ Up Breathin’.”
Thurston has performed on the Grand Ole Opry stage, sold out shows in Europe, and shared the stage with Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley, Jake Owen, Travis Tritt, Billy Currington, Charlie Daniels, and Dixie Chicks. Beyond his success as a singer-songwriter, he’s a skilled guitar player, music producer, and natural entertainer. As he says, “I’m more comfortable on stage than off.”
Now, Thurston is adding "Hollywood movie" to his resume, with a feature film about his life in the music industry, slated for release alongside a nationwide tour.
With nine albums under his belt, Thurston continues to entertain and inspire fans, old and new. Catch him live—it's a show you won’t want to miss!
Shannon Curtis - The Good to Me Tour
"Combining elements of concerts, TED Talks and visual art, the show places the album's 1980s-inspired synthpop numbers in the context of what inspired them: climate change, rising fascism, and Curtis's anxiety about — and hope for — the future." — Emily Hamilton, Seven Days VT
How will empathetic people survive the troubles of this time? How do we rescue our overburdened spirits from overlapping disasters such as rising fascism and climate collapse? And from where can we summon the power to heal ourselves, our communities, and the planet?
These are the animating questions behind Shannon Curtis’s new album and show Good to Me — a song journey that took Curtis through a practice of identifying failed coping mechanisms (“From the Inside Out”), coming to terms with radical acceptance (“Be With What Is”), learning to trust her inner truth (“The Silent Sea”), and reconnecting to her serenity and power (“I Am”) — even as the world continued to burn.
Shannon and Jamie are bringing their "synthpop + joy" extravaganza to the Double E!

The Sweet Remains: Special Album Release
THE SWEET REMAINS is the very rare all-independent band to have nearly 60 MILLION SPOTIFY streams and counting! They're also unusual on today's music scene as a band headed by 3 gifted singer-songwriters, each of whom contributes to the writing and 3-part harmonies that define the band's sound. Driven by strong lyrical and melodic writing, their songs easily appeal to fans of modern folk-rockers like Jason Mraz, Ray Lamontagne, and John Mayer. However, it is their lush harmonies that distinguish TSR from the throngs of guitar-toting troubadours and harken back to super-groups of the 60's and 70's like CSN, the Eagles, Simon & Garfunkel. The Sweet Remains have won fans all over the globe and been featured in commercials, feature films, television, as well as having their songs covered by numerous artists. They continue to delight audiences, touring regularly throughout North America and Europe with dynamic live shows that range from simple core-trio acoustic sets to 6-piece full-band line-ups.
