Boasting sandpaper vocals and country-rock sound at the crossroads of back-alley grit and gravel-road grace, the Flint, Texas native emerged like many others before – sauntering out from Lubbock’s live music loving college-bar scene. But William Clark Green has since carved a space that is uniquely his own.
Pairing singer-songwriter tradition with a progressive musical mindset, he’s both a troubadour of troubled souls and maestro to lyrical mischief, renowned for underdog anthems filled with sardonic wit, vivid characters and even historical curiosity.

Always Gonna Be You, the full-length debut from chart-topping country songwriter John King, is an autobiographical album whose songs tell a universal story. For King, that story began in the Appalachian foothills of northern Georgia, where he worked construction jobs as a teenager and strummed his first songs around the campfire. He also began dating the woman who would later become his wife. Always Gonna Be You tells the story of that real-life romance, its songs brimming with details we’ve all experienced: the rush of a new relationship, the brink of a breakup, and the thrill of falling in love.
King’s songs may be relatable, but his success is extraordinary. A Number 1 songwriter who penned Randy Houser’s chart-topping hit “We Went” and Hootie and The Blowfish’s “Rollin,” King launched his solo career with “Tonight Tonight” — a Top 40 hit whose anthemic chorus was heard everywhere from country radio to the weekly NFL recaps on CBS — and earned his stripes as a road warrior, playing 150 shows annually for the better part of a decade. With Always Gonna Be You, he blurs the boundaries between genres, creating a modern-day country album that’s diverse and driven. Call it a coming-of-age story, performed by a southern son whose twang is matched by his pop hooks. Whatever the description, Always Gonna Be You is proof there’s a new King in town.
OPENER (TBD)

Headliner – The LACS
Fusing the unlikely combination of Southern rap and Southern rock, the LACS created their own brand of hip-hop. Hailing from Baxley, Georgia, the duo of of rapper Clay Sharpe and singer/guitarist Brian King have a sound that incorporates Southern guitar riffs with booming beats and rhymes about life in the Dirty South.
The LACS made their debut in the early 2000s with Midas Well Get Drunk and South on Fire, a pair of independent releases. In 2006, their third album, Lacology, followed, and they signed to Colt Ford’s Backroad label for 2011’s Country Boy’s Paradise, which included appearances from Ford, as well as the single “Kickin’ Up Mud.” One year later, 190 Proof featured the like-minded Big & Rich and Bubba Sparxxx, becoming their first album to break into the overall album charts. Keep It Redneck appeared in 2013, and again included friends and well-wishers Ford, JJ Lawhorn, Noah Gordon, and Sarah Ross. In 2015, the duo released their eighth full-length, Outlaw in Me, which climbed to number three on both the country and rap album charts, and 2016 saw a split LP with Hard Target titled Welcome to Dodge City. Continuing with their tried-and-true formula, the ever-popular duo delivered their sixth LP, American Rebelution, in early 2017, with the single “Redneck Rockstar” dropping the following year. Dirt Rock arrived in May 2018 and landed in the Top 25 of the Billboard Country Albums chart. A year later, they returned with Rise and Shine.

Opener – Justin Champagne
Born and raised in south Louisiana, Justin Champagne makes genre-bending music rooted in the sounds, stories, and swampy swagger of his home turf. It’s a soundtrack for Louisiana’s small towns and muddy backroads — a gumbo of hip-hop, country, hook-heavy pop, and hard rock, glued together by a hometown hero who raps and sings not only about his own experience, but also about the country lifestyles of his neighbors in the Deep South and beyond. Champagne has been releasing new music over the past couple of months including the vibey and sure to make you dance “I’m The One,” latin remix featuring El Taiger, the sultry break-up anthem “Refill,” and the much anticipated EP IF SHE AIN’T COUNTRY.
Everything changed in 2016, when Justin Champagne wrote “Sun Goes Down.” A breakup anthem filled with hip-hop beats, countrified guitar riffs, soaring vocal hooks, and rhythmic rapping, “Sun Goes Down” was the first song to embrace the full range of Justin’s musical tastes. By combining a variety of different sounds together, he created something new: a boundary-breaking genre that showcased not only the depth of his influences, but also his versatility as a songwriter, storyteller, vocalist, and rapper. Unsurprisingly, the song became a hit, earning more than a million listens on Spotify and laying the foundation for a unique, trendsetting career. Champagne’s full-length debut, Small Town Sentiments, was released in 2018. Tracks like “Beers” and “In Them Jeans” became fan favorites, introducing a growing audience to Justin’s sound. Things accelerated once again in 2019, when Justin teamed up with hip-hop artist Gabe G to record the wildly-popular “BackRoads.” A tribute to rural living and the great outdoors, “BackRoads” earned Justin a dedicated following not only on Spotify, but also on YouTube, where the song’s music video — shot in the mud bogs, fields, lakes, and country lanes of his home state — amassed 5 million views during its first year. The song was an anthem for small-town residents across America, but it was personal, too, grounded in the experience of a musician who has always preferred country roads to city streets.

Opener – Dustin Spears
“I pride myself on being a regular everyday blue collar, hard working man. I’m thankful for technology. It has allowed me to put my music out to the masses at the touch of a button. We all hear how Tiktok changes peoples lives on a daily basis but I never thought that would be me. Now off of one song technology has allowed me to build a following of fans of my music and has expanded my career as an artist into an opportunity with Dirt Rock Empire where I have been shown full support by The LACs and the rest of the label team” said Dustin Spears. “Over the past couple years, many people have not had a lot of reasons to smile, so I wrote a song hoping I could make them laugh and it has worked. Music is my life. I eat, breathe, and sleep music. My hopes for this song are to help bring back a little bit of that old school sound that I love back into music while offering listeners a genuine smile at the comedic play on the words.”
Dirt Rock fans instantly connected with Dustin Spears when he laid down the sugary sweet vocal melody on The LACs recent single “Redneck Tan” which has grown to be a fan favorite. In a very short span, Dustin Spears has managed to garner the hearts of country fans with his light-hearted sense of humor and his soulful delivery. Growing up in a musical family from Tennessee, Dustin naturally picked up the musical ear for instruments and has been using his guitar and unique vocals to spread good vibes to audiences across the United States.
Before joining forces with The Lacs at Dirt Rock Empire, Spears tried out for The Voice and was a potential for the show until the producers deemed his blue-collar everyday man story not Hollywood enough for television but loved his voice. It was at that point Spears started creating his own original music outside the confines of the traditional music industry, placing all bets on himself. His risks have rewarded him in a lot of new ways he never even dreamt of experiencing.

Nate began playing piano when he was only five, but the Taylor acoustic guitar given to him by his dad at age 14 became the instrument that has accompanied him everywhere and helped to lay the foundation for his musical career. That career has seen up to 300 shows a year for the last five years: from coffeehouses to mainstages, Nate has pleased audiences with his feel-good tunes and relatable lyrics. Nate has shared the stage with the likes of Old Dominion, Brett Young, Chris Janson, LoCash, Lonestar and many others and calls upon his influences of Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, and his big-band pianist grandfather while crafting his music.
His songs have received regular rotation radio play and won numerous awards, including 2015 Project Aloft national songwriting contest judged by industry professionals. A 25-city tour in 2016 took Nate and his music to new audiences, and it only gets bigger from there. Nate’s dream is to share his music with a wider national audience and to leave with his listeners a lasting impression of singable melodies and lyrics that, as Nate says, “Can feel were written just for them to find a glimmer of hope.”
