Country newcomer Jimmie Allen was heralded as one of the top “artists to watch in 2018” by Rolling Stone, Billboard, and Pandora. Allen’s debut single “Best Shot” was a certified hit, claiming the No. 1 spot on country radio for three weeks, marking the first time a black artist has launched a career with a No. 1 hit with their debut single on country radio.
The album’s second single “Make Me Want To” was released to country radio in February. As well as with touring alongside Stell, Allen has shared the stage with other country stars like Scotty McCreery and Kane Brown.
Opening for Allen is singer-songwriter Matt Stell, who is enjoying one of the most successful years of his career thanks to his hit single “Prayed for You.” It was named one of the “10 Best Country Songs to Hear Now” by Rolling Stone and reached No. 36 on Billboard’s Hot Country and No. 54 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.
The 6-foot-7 former college basketball player recently released a seven-song EP, “Everywhere But On.” Stell had a hand in writing all seven tracks on the album, and it also includes a duet with Jimmie Allen on “Home in A Hometown.”
