Picking and storytelling with Kavin MaC and Nashville’s premier songwriters!

Country crooner, multi-instrumentalist and winner of NBC’s The Voice, Craig Wayne Boyd, captured the hearts of America. CWB signed a publishing deal with EMI shortly upon arrival in Nashville. When he wasn’t putting pen to paper he was busy logging more than 1,000 shows in four years, stopping at any and every radio station he could and opening for acts like Jamey Johnson, Randy Houser, Sara Evans and Brad Paisley.

Then it happened…after years of hoofing it all over the country he became an “overnight success”.
Craig’s remarkable journey on The Voice was marked by his powerful performances and authentic storytelling. His charismatic stage presence and emotional depth endeared him to a vast fan base across the nation. The unforgettable rendition of classics like “The Old Rugged Cross” and “Some Kind of Wonderful“ showcased his versatility as an artist. Blake Shelton and Craig Wayne Boyd rocked “Boots On” as millions watched and voted for their winner.

Days after his victory, Craig debuted at #1 on Billboard with “My Baby’s Got a Smile on Her Face” tying Garth Brooks for the honor! Beyond his musical achievements, Craig is known for his genuine humility and dedication to his craft. He has guest-hosted or appeared on Today In Nashville, Hallmark Channel’s Home and Family, The Ellen Show, Jimmy Fallon, Fox, Good Morning America, TODAY, TMZ, All Access Hollywood and more. . His most prized musical accomplishment is playing the Grand Ole Opry 25+ times.

Jake Hoot made the leap from local Tennessee singer/songwriter to mainstream country artist after being crowned the season 17 winner of the popular American talent competition The Voice. He entered the 17th season of The Voice in 2019 and in his audition impressed the judges, specifically Kelly Clarkson, with his rendition of Luke Combs’ “When It Rains It Pours.” After joining team Kelly, Hoot navigated his way to the finale, where he performed his own original song “Better Off Without You.” After taking home the top prize, Hoot released the song, which ultimately peaked at number 36 on the Billboard Country singles chart. He made his Grand Ole Opry debut on February 4, 2020.

Songwriter, artist and entrepreneur Kevin MaC jump-started his music career in 2014 with an L.A. publishing deal. Kevin has since honed his craft, and his performance skills, having since written with legendary Nashville hit-makers Keith Stegall and Buddy Cannon, Grammy award-winning songwriters Wyatt Durrette and Levi Lower and even with “young blood” tunesmiths who’ve penned hits for Zac Brown Band, Garth Brooks, George Strait, and Alan Jackson. Kevin has shared the stage with a variety of artists, including Kenny Chesney, Trace Adkins, Rascal Flatts, Kip Moore, and The Band Perry.

The ever-evolving MaC is the co-founder of Tik Pik (“the pick that sticks” as seen on Shark Tank) as well as Elsie Marshall Shotgun Granny Whiskey and hosts a bi-weekly songwriters round at Eric Church’s new venue, Chief’s On Broadway.
