Lane has opened for The Band Perry, Eli Young Band, Lee Brice, Chris Young and Brantley Gilbert, among others. In 2014, he opened for Florida Georgia Line on their This Is How We Roll tour. Lane’s debut single, “Broken Windshield View”, was released to country radio on June 10, 2014 .

It sold 11,000 downloads in its first week of release and debuted at number 45 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. As of August 2014 it has sold 43,000 downloads. It will be included on an upcoming extended play.
About Caanan Smith
A native of Williamsburg, Virginia, Caanan Smith grew up singing along to everything from George Strait to Rage Against the Machine.
He relocated to Nashville during college and began to perform around Music City’s local bars. He landed a publishing deal with Disney Music and teamed with Brett Beavers (Dierks Bentley) to produce his Mercury Records debut.
In addition to writing for his album, Canaan co-wrote Love and Theft’s top ten hit “Runaway” and co-wrote Jason Aldean’s “Black Tears” with Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard.
Smith is noted as a songwriter of considerable depth and authenticity, and he possesses a voice that drives audiences to their feet, “dancing one minute and crying in their beer the next.”
About Tyler Rich
Rich grew up in nearby Yuba City. In October of 2014 self-released his debut single, “Radio,” which made an impression on country radio. August 2015 saw Rich release a four-song EP, Valerie, and that year the Country Music Social Media Awards named him “one to watch.” He spread the word about his music with plenty of live work, headlining small venues and opening in bigger halls for names like Cole Swindell, Brett Eldredge, Justin Moore and others, and he relocated to Nashville to be closer to the center of the country music industry.
Rich’s talents attracted the attention of Music City power houses Big Machine and Valory Music, both of which signed him to recording and publishing deals. Rich’s first single for Big Machine, “The Difference,” was released in February 2018. The song was a success, played more than 47 million times on major streaming services, and became a preview for his first album, Two Thousand Miles. Released by Valory in September 2020, Rich co-wrote eight of the set’s 11 songs, including the singles “Leave Her Wild” and “Rather Be Us.”
A pair of singles followed in 2021, with “Better Than You’re Used To” and his Anna Bergendahl duet “Bottom of This Bottle” remain as a standalone cut. Rich released “Thinkin’ We’re in Love” later in 2022, a duet with Marie-Mai that was quickly followed by “Trucks Don’t Lie.”
