Multiple Grammy(R) Award nominee and vocal powerhouse Martina McBride has sold over 18 million albums to date, including 20 Top 10 singles and six No. 1 hits. Recently, she released her new single, "Reckless," the title track from her 13th studio album due out April 29. She has earned more than 15 major music awards, including four wins for Female Vocalist of the Year from the Country Music Association and three Academy of Country Music Awards for Top Female Vocalist.

Country superstar Jennifer Nettles recently released her debut single on Big Machine Records "Unlove You," the lead track from her sophomore solo album PLAYING WITH FIRE due out May 13. She previously won five ASCAP awards for her songwriting abilities and received a Grammy Award, ACM Award and CMA Award for penning the emotionally charged, No. 1 platinum hit "Stay." Adding to her many accolades, Jennifer made her Broadway debut in February 2015 as Roxy Hart in the Tony Award-winning, record-breaking musical Chicago, and joined the cast of the Dolly Parton television biopic "Coat of Many Colors," on NBC in December.

Her No. 1 smash "Burning House" was certified Platinum by the RIAA and remains the only single by a country female to achieve more than 1 million downloads the past year.

Other recent award nominations for the Arista Nashville/RCA Records songwriter-songwriter include the Grammys (Best Country Solo Performance for "Burning House" nomination) and the ACM Awards (most-nominated female with six nods).
