Kat Higgins

From Vancouver, Canada, Kat Higgins grew up singing Irish folk music with her siblings at local fairs and St Patrick’s Day parties. Throughout her teen years, the family band toured full-time and had success at Canadian country radio. Kat’s love of songwriting drew her to Nashville and after the band broke up, she began writing for other artists. Kat has written songs recorded by Kenny Chesney, Cody Johnson, Carrie Underwood, Carly Peirce, The Lone Bellow and more. The BMG published songwriter celebrated her first number one song at country radio with Kenny Chesney’s “Knowing You” and her second number one with Cody Johnson’s “The Painter”. Both songs were nominated for ACM song of the year and “The Painter” was nominated for CMA song of the year. “The Painter” went on to win NSAI’s song of the year award in 2024. Apart from writing full time for other artists, she has been working on her own album, produced by Kenny Chesney and Buddy Cannon and expected to release in 2025.

Gordie Sampson

A brilliant songwriter and innovative producer, Gordie Sampson is no stranger to the music scene. Raised in the community of Big Pond (pop. 47), near the rugged, edge-of-the-world coastlines of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Sampson’s songwriting has taken him across the globe. But besides the island he hails from, there might be no place in his story more important than Nashville, Tennessee, where he lives now with his family. He moved to Music City in 2005, and in less than a year Carrie Underwood had recorded his own “Jesus, Take The Wheel,” which wound up at number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for six weeks in a row and won Gordie a Grammy for Best Country Song of the Year. Since then, Sampson’s songs have been cut by a long list of established artists that includes Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan, Rascal Flatts, Hunter Hayes and Scott Helman and by young up-and-comers like Carly Pearce,Caylee Hammack and Tenille Townes.

Tennile Townes

For Tenille Townes, writing songs is a way of reaching out to anyone longing to make sense of a wildly confusing world. In the last five years alone, the Canada-born artist’s full-hearted and soul-searching songwriting has led to such milestones as touring with legends like Stevie Nicks, Miranda Lambert and Shania Twain and taking home two JUNO Awards —all while building up a globe-spanning fanbase irresistibly drawn to her intensely honest storytelling. With her many accolades also including 17 Canadian Country Music Association Awards and two Academy Of Country Music Awards, the Nashville-based rising star now begins a bold new chapter with her most fully realized work to date: a gorgeously sculpted batch of songs that bring a moodier and more unfettered sound to her compassionate lyrical outpouring.
