Shawn Lacy can’t escape the pull of the stage. And the singer-songwriter doesn’t want to. Upon moving to Nashville from Central Pennsylvania more than a decade ago, Shawn burned up stages throughout Music City’s honky-tonk district, fronting a band that mixed rock with country. The guys he played with ultimately drifted off in search of other pursuits – but not Shawn.
It was the best decision he ever made. Since those early bar days, he’s evolved into a passionate solo artist, a singer with the grit and rasp of a Seger or a Springsteen and the songwriting to match. Shawn’s a music lifer, and that commitment drew the attention of no less than Rolling Stone, who named him one of their Artists to Watch on the strength of a pair of self-titled EPs. His song “Wild Heart” (produced and performed by Taylor Swift drummer, Matt Billingslea) also garnered national attention from Rolling Stone and became a fan favorite, an anthem for free spirits everywhere.
“Whether I’m onstage in a sweaty club or just playing my guitar and singing on a back porch for friends in Nashville, I love the art of performing,” Shawn says. “That’s what drew me to write my song, Gone Like the Night and what keeps pulling me back on the road. Connecting with people — with my fellow human beings — is what I was born to do.”

Crystal Rose is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter whose music moves freely between folk, soul, gospel, and spoken truth, creating performances that feel less like concerts and more like collective experiences. A first-generation Haitian American, her songs explore faith, freedom, grief, joy, and the lifelong process of becoming oneself. For more than a decade, she has built a body of work that resists easy categorization while inviting listeners into deeper honesty and connection.
That commitment to truth has earned national recognition, including appearances on NBC's The Voice, two Top Shelf honors in NPR's Tiny Desk Contest, Artist to Watch distinctions from Nashville Scene and The Tennessean, and praise from Rolling Stone, which called her "a singer-songwriter with a stunner of a voice" after a performance that "hypnotized the crowd." Crystal has collaborated with Grammy-nominated producer Ben Tanner, shared stages with artists including Maggie Rose, Alice Merton, Medium Build, and Trombone Shorty, delivered a TEDx talk titled How My Anger Kept Me From Despair, and founded Touched By Sun, an arts and wellness festival celebrating Black women through music, movement, and community.
