About Chris Young
Chris Young is a study in contrasts and dualities. He’s frequently complimented by music press as being a country “traditionalist” — with good reason — but he’s equally fond of pushing against stylistic boundaries. He’s an old soul with songs that express deep wisdom as well as youthful rambunctiousness, and he somehow makes it look effortless. “I still love what I do,” says the Tennessee native, who’s notched 13 career Number Ones and more than two dozen R.I.A.A. certified projects. “I love creating music and the fact that I get to do that for a living is a pretty incredible thing.”
After scoring a major hit alongside his pal Kane Brown with 2020’s “Famous Friends,” Young returned to the studio and embraced the many contrasts of his artistry. The result is Young Love & Saturday Nights, Young’s ninth studio album and a bold statement that he’s one of the most versatile and durable talents of his era. At 18 songs, the project is Young’s most ambitious release yet and a demonstration of his confidence as a writer, artist, and producer. Instead of chasing trends, Young turns things up — emotionally, sonically, stylistically. The ballads hit harder, the rowdy tunes are more raucous, and the anthems hit new highs. Young sounds both classic and cutting-edge, one of the many reasons he’s so firmly established himself as a bedrock artist in country music.

About Austin Michael
While singing in church, Austin was told time and again he had a really good voice. As he appreciated the compliments, he never thought about singing as a career. This was not until a family friend sent an iPhone recording to American Idol. He bypassed the pre-show auditions and was asked to be on the show. He was only 15 years old when he wound up on Luke Bryan’s shoulders roping Katy Perry. It became one of the most viral videos of American Idol’s 2019 season. The feedback on his vocal ability was the turning point for Austin as he started dedicating his life towards a career as an artist.
He has spent the last 4 years honing his songwriting and guitar playing skills, driving to Nashville, sleeping in his car, knocking on every door, hoping someone would let him in for a meeting. Through his relentless perseverance he signed a management deal with L3 Entertainment, home of Justin Moore, as well as a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music.
Since moving to Nashville, Austin continues writing with many of the top writers in the genre. Amassing over 8 million streams independently in just over a year, his constant release of singles is planned to continue for the remainder of 2024.
