Tattooed, rural, and blue-collar country duo Lakeview — Jesse Denaro and Luke Healy —  are among Nashville’s fastest-rising new acts.  With over 140 million streams and a devoted audience of nearly 700,000 fans across social media, the duo has carved out a lane entirely their own.  Dubbed “weekend warriors–turned–Music Row favorites” by The Tennessean, Lakeview’s hard-charging sound bridges the raw intensity of metalcore with the grit and storytelling of modern country.

Fronted by the piano-pounding, show-stopping showman Lance Lipinsky, the band delivers a breathless, high-octane performance that captures the exact moment rhythm and blues cross-pollinated into a global phenomenon. From the synchronized vintage suits to the authentic driving rhythms, they bring a wild, infectious energy that makes it physically impossible to stay seated.

Vertical Horizon

Founded in the early 1990s as a duo, Vertical Horizon released three albums independently (There and Back Again, Running on Ice, and Live Stages) and toured extensively.  In 1999, Vertical Horizon signed with RCA and experienced meteoric success with Everything You Want, selling over two million copies.  The title song captured the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 and Adult Top 40 charts, and went on to become the most played single of 2000.  Having carved out a page in the annals of music history, the band also garnered further radio attention with “You’re a God” (#4 on Billboard’s Adult Chart) and “Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning),” which became a 2005 top 20 country hit for country star, Gary Allan.
