Small-town Massachusetts native and singer-songwriter Jillian Cardarelli has blazed her own path in Nashville with her stunning vocals, captivating songwriting and strong work ethic. “Rerun,” her debut single released in August 2017, was written by Grammy award-winning artist Maren Morris, Tina Parol and Jordan Reynolds. The music video for “Rerun” spent two weeks at #1 on CMT due to fan voting.

SIXWIRE

Ever since their debut on Warner Brothers Records, the members of Sixwire have been the busiest, hardest-working band to come out of Nashville! Not only have these guys played on countless hit records, but they’ve written hits for many top artists as well, and toured with literally hundreds of stars. They are the “go-to“ guys for television, had have served as house band on USA Network’s Nashville Star, Fox's Next Great American Band, CMT’s Next Superstar and ABC’s dramatic series Nashville. They’ve performed at Super Bowls 51, 54, and 56; The Daytona 500; the NHL All-Star Game; and they were ESPN’s first-ever house band for the 2019 NFL Draft.

Charitable entertainment events that Sixwire has been involved in have raised nearly $30 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Sixwire has also helped raise funds for Scott Hamilton’s Cancer Research Foundation, Convoy Of Hope, American Cancer Society and many others.

Gary LeVox

Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, LeVox made a name for himself as the lead singer in the multi-platinum-selling country-pop group Rascal Flatts. He has loved music ever since he can remember and fondly recalls Saturday nights at his grandparents’ house when they used to sing hymns together.

Gary was working for the Franklin County (Ohio) Board of Developmental Disabilities when he decided to give Nashville a shot one night while sitting in his mom’s kitchen and feeling God’s presence before him. He quit the job he'd had for 10 years and sold everything on a true leap of faith. He knew he'd been given a gift, and right then and there he decided it was time to try and use it. Two minutes after he drove into town, he was in a Nashville studio singing backgrounds on Michael English’s gospel record. Soon thereafter, Rascal Flatts was born, and now more than two decades later, that gift keeps on giving.

Tommy DeCarlo

Tommy DeCarlo was asked to join Boston on their 2008 tour and has sang on every tour since. Prior to that, Tommy was working as a credit manager at The Home Depot and had never been in a band. The largest crowd that Tommy had sung in front of was a talent show in high school. Since then, Tommy has been touring and playing to sold-out audiences all over the world!

In a Best Classic Bands interview with Boston, founding member Tom Scholz said, "Tommy does for Boston on stage what Brad Delp did for Boston in the studio. Brad was the best male studio singer I've ever heard and Tommy is the best male stage singer I've ever heard."

Tommy currently resides in Charlotte, North Carolina with his wife Annie of 33 years. The couple have two children and four grandchildren.
