Having opened for country icons including Jon Pardi, Gabby Barrett, and Jo Dee Messina, Prior Noon is an up and coming country band making waves in the Great Lakes State of Michigan. Hailing from the small town of Lowell, Prior Noon is made up of friends, and even a pair of brothers, who have grown up together playing music and figuring out life. These shared experiences and memories contribute to the band’s undeniable chemistry on and off stage. Prior Noon’s signature sound draws from their small town roots and coming-of-age experiences and is inspired by artists such as Lady A, Maren Morris, Keith Urban, and Taylor Swift.

After leading worship together at their local church through middle and high school, the band decided to officially form Prior Noon in May of 2020. The band’s schedule began to grow over the next few years playing dozens of shows throughout their native West Michigan. The band also made a couple of trips to Nashville and has written, recorded, and released their debut EP, "If This Feeling Was a Place", which includes 6 songs that have racked up over 280K total streams/stream equivalents. The band is made up of McKenna Grody (vocals), Nick Struckmeyer (lead electric), Drew Struckmeyer (bass, background vocals), Joe Warren (rhythm electric, background vocals), and Jay Stadt (drums).

A rising young artist, born to two opera singers, Paige Gold is quickly gaining fans across the globe. From the time she was just 4 years old, Gold has been performing in front of a wide variety of audiences. As a singer/song writer, Gold attributes much of her success to her relentless work ethic. In her words, she has traded most of her teenage years for her work. As a result of her efforts, Gold has written over 100 songs in 2023 alone. Samples of her work can be seen on TikTok where she has amassed a following of over 500k followers, 200 million views and 41.3 million likes. An emerging young artist with a special charisma, which translates to an incredible stage presence.

Michigan pop country artist Sage Castleberry has a musical style that brings together both old and new.  Born into a family of musicians, he was exposed to a variety of genres, ranging from 80s hair bands to country music and everything in between. Picking up the guitar at just 10 years old, Castleberry has spent years mastering his art and eventually playing with many talented friends and even his own father and drummer, Tim Castleberry.  Now that the songwriter is creating more of his own music, he is discovering his individual sound and perfecting his artistry. Sage is often found playing solo in West Michigan Breweries and restaurants, planning for the upcoming festival and outdoor season ahead.

After the paramount success of his debut single “I Kinda Like It”, Castleberry then released a beautiful break up song called “Last Goodbye” followed by the idyllic and upbeat “Neverland”. Claiming his infectious pop country sound fueled by his diverse influences over the years, like Seaforth and Thomas Rhett, this artist displays an ever growing collection of music filled with great hooks and clever lyrics.

“Leave with me together” is the title of his just released  and Debut EP. The EP consists of five single with the highlighted single of the group being titled “Leave With Me Together”. The song was written about Sage’s Grandparents, Jerry and Donna Castleberry, who died literally hand in hand, an hour apart from complications from Covid 19.  This single is a heart wrenching song to honor his beloved “Gram and Pop”.  The lyrics tell the story of their humble home and family life, followed by the sentiment shared by every true love, to stay together, forever.  The endearing lyrics are accompanied by a lovely melody, rich vocals and accents of steel guitar.

Garnering critical acclaim on release of his outstanding debut from the likes of Earmilk, Atwood Magazine, and Variance Magazine, Sage Castleberry is emerging exceptionally into the scene.
