Courtney Patton with Doug Stone and Jason Eady

Country star Doug Stone, born in Marietta, GA, is known for his lonesome baritone ballads and uptempo tracks. His hits include "In a Different Light" and "Why Didn't I Think of That." Initially discovered by a Nashville manager, Stone's success with Epic records brought multiple Top Ten hits and platinum albums. Despite overcoming health issues and near-fatal accidents, he continued touring and recording, shifting to more pop-oriented work under Atlantic and releasing "Live at Billy Bob's Texas" in 2009.

Born in Mississippi, Eady is known for groove-centered music and lyrical writing. His album "Mississippi," produced by Gordy Quist, emphasizes sound over lyrics. Eady, a Band of Heathens member, recorded the album live, capturing raw energy and featuring talented collaborators. He shifts gears from his usual process to create an immersive sound experience.
