• 0:38
  We've played a little Chase Beckham coming out of break here and he is
• 0:43
  going to be one of the performers. Yes, So Chase Beckham might be
• 0:47
  familiar to some of your listeners because if they like to watch American Idol.
• 0:50
  He ended up winning the nineteenth season of American Idol and the song you just
• 0:55
  played was the one that he's sang that got him the win. So usually
• 1:00
  with Idle too, like they can't, they don't normally play original songs.
• 1:03
  That's an original song of his. Well, that is awesome, it sounds
• 1:06
  great, it's gonna be exciting and he's not gonna be alone. We'll talk
• 1:08
  about some of the other performers as well, but real quick, the history
• 1:12
  of Class Of. I don't know how you do this year in and year
• 1:15
  out, Chelsea, But for folks that want to see big names before they
• 1:21
  become superstars, you've guys proven year in and year out with Class Of.
• 1:26
  It's a way to see those those superstars before they get that super par doesn't
• 1:30
  it for sure. So some of the big big names that people may be
• 1:34
  familiar with, let's say like Morgan Wallen or Luke Combs for instance, Laney
• 1:40
  Wilson might be familiar to people because she was Abby on Yellowstone and actually the
• 1:46
  guy who created Yellowstone created it for her, fun fact, but now she
• 1:51
  All three of them and more are just huge staples in the country music format
• 1:56
  and this is where people can just really see these new arts before they make
• 2:00
  it big. And if you like live music, it's an event that you
• 2:04

  Let's talk about some of the other artists. Hailey Haley make Wits Aaily Winters,
• 2:25
  so up and coming star here she is, and every single one of
• 2:30
  our artists has an interesting background. So she was an opener for Shania Twain
• 2:36
  if anyone saw her at the Coal Center last year, and then she also
• 2:40
  won New Female Vocalists at the ACMs last year. And she's also had ties
• 2:46
  to Alicia Keyts. She's written songs with her. Really yeah, I have
• 2:50
  no idea the connection, but I'm hoping to find out how when she comes
• 2:54
  to Madison on Friday. That's gonna be awesome. You got a little Canadian
• 2:59
  flair as well. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Josh Ross, Yeah,
• 3:04
  I'm excited for him because I don't he's trying to make it big and break
• 3:07
  it, break in in the United States. So I know that he actually
• 3:13
  just moved to Nashville right before the pandemic. He was down there for a
• 3:15
  month and then he ended up moving back to Canada because you know, yeah,
• 3:20
  the world sure, yeah, those that goes on Katie Offerman. Interesting
• 3:23
  spelling on that name. Yes, let's talk about Katie Katie Offerman. You
• 3:28
  would think that she is from Wisconsin because she was part of a traveling poka
• 3:31
  band. Wait what yes, poke band when she was I think eleven or
• 3:38
  fourteen, one of those ages. So she has been classically trained on a
• 3:42
  bunch of instruments. She grew up in Texas and then I think it is
• 3:46
  at the age eleven, one of the teachers asked her to be part of
• 3:51
  a traveling poka band, so her dad like went with them and she she
• 3:57
  performed, So she's she's not new to performing on stage. We might have
• 4:00
  to ever placed some pokers for it and rounding it out Chase Matthews and correct
• 4:06
  me if I'm wrong. Interesting and really inspiring life story for sure. So
• 4:13
  he had a friend, like his best friend was actually murdered and as one
• 4:18
  could you know, handle grief, he made some poor decisions. He had
• 4:24
  kind of gotten into some drugs and then he just he just struggled with with
• 4:29
  some issues and he's really ended up being homeless at the age of like nineteen.
• 4:32
  He's totally changed his life, turned it around. Now he is making
• 4:38
  a name and a career for himself as a country artist. So he's he's
• 4:43
  definitely got an inspiring story, an amazing lineup again. That's going to be
