In 2012 as a freshman in high school Justin picked up his first guitar, little did he know it would lead him to record later on in Nashville. Growing up on 70’s 80’s rock he never saw himself singing country music. That would change quick after hearing two iconic country songs of his generation Homeboy by Eric Church and Dirt Road Anthem by Jason Aldean. Inspired by his upbringing and life’s experiences he began his country music journey. Writing songs of heartbreak, growing up, and life. Justin is known for his authentic, raw and emotional storytelling ability throughout his songs.

Louie Lee
Sometimes change rips through and changes things forever. For Louie Lee, change ripped through his youth multiple times. His parents' marriage fell apart when he was just a child, leading him to grow up in a trailer park outside of Detroit, watching his mother work tirelessly as she held down 3 jobs to make ends meet. Witnessing her efforts Louie Lee learned the importance of drive and to never give up, even with his own struggle with hearing impairment.
Within the tightly-knit trailers surrounded by the hum of cars on the highway and the gritty sounds of Detroit. Louie Lee found a sense of community which inspired multiple perspectives leading to a diversification of music styles over the years, from metal, hip hop, rock, pop, and country.
But it wasn't until his Grandfather’s passing would he find a new voice. A voice which would win him the "Song of the Year" award at the Detroit Music Awards in 2022 and inspire a massive explosion of songs built on his story of hard work, determination, and a relentless commitment to his craft. Louie Lee’s voice is the centerpiece of his music, expressive and emotive with a raw honesty that is captivating. The sound Louie Lee dubbed “Country Hop & Roll” is an amalgamation of the genres which inspire him.

Though his style today is rooted in traditional country, those early
influences laid the foundation for his love of music and the timeless qualities he brings to his performances. With a sound that draws comparisons to artists like Billy Strings, Blake has found his place in the world of classic country. His performances, whether at local bars or intimate venues, are a celebration of storytelling, soul, and the heartfelt energy that defines great country music.
An old soul at heart, Blake also enjoys hunting, fishing, and living a life that mirrors the authenticity he strives to convey through his music. As he continues to evolve and grow as an artist, the future is bright for this young talent with big dreams and an even bigger passion for his craft.

Michael Root
My name is Michael Root. I’ve been doing acoustic shows all over Michigan for the last two and a half years. I’m originally from Texas, but moved to Michigan right after I graduated from high school. I have been singing in public since I was 18. At 19, I tried out for the Voice and got a callback. I tried out again recently and got a callback again, but didn’t make the show either time.
During COVID, my job was shut down so I used the time to teach myself how to play guitar. Since then I’ve been doing acoustic shows. I have finished writing five songs so far and am in the process of getting them recorded. If you’d like to see me perform in person all my shows are listed on my Facebook page, Michael Root Music. On March 19, I performed at the Capitol Theater in Flint for the Flint Institute of Music (FIM) Under the Stars program. Last September I put on a Country Music Festival to benefit the Special Olympics. I’ll also be the Saturday night headliner at the Potopia Festival in Marcellus, Michigan this August.

The small towns in Michigan are full of like-minded people who love hunting, fishing, and getting rowdy. I spent my childhood building forts, hunting, and walking through the mud,” Cooper says. It's those real-life backwoods experiences that deeply influence his sound and storytelling.
When Cooper performs, his goal is simple: to make people smile and forget about their troubles. He wants to create an experience that lifts people up, especially those who might be having a tough week. "I like to think that I can be the happiness people need for a few hours," he shares. His connection with the audience makes his performances unforgettable.
