Darren Kiely
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, Mumford & Sons, 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 NYC in 2022 to continue developing his own music and sound, and soon after headed to the songwriting hub of Nashville.

Darren’s unique presentation of folk-infused pop and lush storytelling, which echoes the backdrop of the Irish countryside where he was raised, is the forefront of his debut EP, Lost, which arrived last fall. The seven-track project explores the triumphant war of overcoming self-doubt, struggling to find himself, questioning emotions and seeking answers. Lost features new track “Mom & Dad,” which debuted in the Top 40 on the Irish Singles Chart and also landed him in the Top 5 on the Irish Homegrown chart, as well as fan-favorite “Sunrise.” Kiely took his new music on the road in the fall with his headline THE ROAD HOME TOUR, where he sold out shows across his home country of Ireland. Following his headline tour, Kiely toured across Europe with the 502s. The singer is currently on his headline North American tour, THE LOST TOUR.

Matt Stell
The country music industry has long been filled with its share of characters. From Willie to Hank and Dolly to Waylon, every legend starts out as just another artist that doesn’t fit easily into some predetermined box. And as hard as country music may try to fit Matt Stell into one of those boxes, it’s darn near impossible. Heck, he’s 6’7. But more so than the physique that helped Stell become a collegiate basketball standout, the Platinum-certified singer has proven via the songs he sings and the shows he puts on that he is too powerful of an artist to fit into some sort of singular category.

In fact, to describe Stell in a few words would be a complete disservice to the man he is and the artist he looks to become with his latest EP, Better Than That, released in October 2020. Co-produced by Stell with EMG’s Ash Bowers, the EP features eight tracks, five of which he wrote, including his multi-week #1 smash, “Prayed For You,” one of NSAI’s 10 Songs We Wish We Had Written for 2020, and his second consecutive #1 single, “Everywhere But On.” He is only the seventh new artist to have back-to-back #1s in the past five years. The EP also includes the recently released “If I Was A Bar,” and its innovative music video filmed during quarantine, where Stell played all 13 characters.
He kicked off 2020 with a performance on “Good Morning America,” leading into his first headlining tour. He started “Penned Up,” his hugely successful eight-week Instagram Live series, was the first-ever artist to receive a virtual plaque from the RIAA for his Platinum breakthrough debut single, “Prayed For You,” and performed the National anthem for a NASCAR Cup Series Race. Stell was also featured on “Over Yonder,” a collaboration with viral sensation and Christian rapper Lathan Warlick, which powerfully blends hip hop patriotism with a call for unity.
The Arkansas native has come a long way from playing college basketball for Drury University and choosing to head to Nashville instead of Cambridge, MA, where he was accepted into Harvard University’s Extension School Pre-Med program. Following his dream of writing and performing, the self-taught vocalist and guitar player moved to Music City in 2014, landing a publishing and management deal with Wide Open Music/Endurance Music Group, and a record deal with music industry powerhouse Barry Weiss’ RECORDS Nashville/Arista Nashville.

Seth Alley
In 2011, Seth Alley drove the eighty-nine miles from Sparta, Tennessee to Nashville to sell his CDs out of his dad’s Dodge minivan. By 2013, he was signing the publishing deal, record deal, and management contract of his dreams. Fast forward to four years later, and his hometown was still asking him if he’d made it yet. Today, Alley is independent – in both label and artistry. Frustrated with the “Country Music Formula,” he turned to his early influences like the Dave Matthews Band, Jay-Z, Coldplay and Tupac for inspiration. He soon charged to the forefront by mixing hip-hop beats with the storytelling lyrics of country music. Now in control of his writing, production, and lighting design, Alley is determined to forge a new lane in country.
Tripp Howell
Founding LANCO band member and songwriter Tripp Howell hails from Dalton, Georgia, in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains.

He signed a joint publishing deal with Jimmie and EMG in February 2023.
