Raised in a single-parent home marked by poverty and addiction, Atlus had to grow up fast, building incredible resilience and laying the foundation for a life rooted in the search for authentic relationships and honest storytelling. Phonetically named after the mythological Titan who held up the heavens, Atlus wrote his first two (of four) albums while working as a commercial driver behind the wheel of semi-trucks, using the long, lonesome miles of highway to craft lyrics and workshop melodies as he drove countless hours to help support his family and fund studio time.

That pavement-pounding lifestyle became both his education and his engine. Over time, it helped grow his underground following and ultimately led to breakout moments like performing alongside Jelly Roll at a packed Red Rocks Amphitheatre in his home state, and landing a Top 5 album on Spotify’s Global Album Chart, along with a Platinum single. The magic of Atlus lies in how he marries candid, arresting, and often dark subjects with a kaleidoscope of sound. His music blends multiple styles into something fresh and immersive, anchored by storytelling that creates a deep connection with fans. Now with over a billion on-demand streams and two million followers across socials, Atlus continues to build his career on real connection and resilience. He’s holding up his musical dreams in support of his family and anyone who turns to music as an outlet for their own struggles.

Formerly Matt & Zach, this Chicago based band plays country, oldies, and mainstream Top 40’s!

Hank Ruff’s sound is a product of the music he grew up on, blending the fiddle-and-steel twang of 90’s country with a modern edge. Raised in Southern Indiana, Hank was surrounded by hardcore country music from an early age. By 11, he had picked up a mandolin and was playing at bluegrass jams, soon transitioning to guitar and diving into his favorite ’90s country hits from the likes of Clint Black, Wade Hayes, and John Anderson. In high school, Hank decided to learn some newer country songs to play at parties hoping to impress the girls. This fusion of his old-school roots and modern influences is at the heart of Ruff’s music today.

Ruff began writing songs during his senior year of high school, many of them with his dad, including the fan-favorite “If the Boot Fits.” A graduate of Indiana University, Hank writes music that stays true to his life experiences, navigating young romance, heartbreak, late-night partying, and friendships forged along the way. These stories are woven into his music, creating songs that resonate with a wide range of listeners.

Hank’s 2022 EP, Hellbender, soared to the #1 spot on the iTunes all-genre chart, solidifying his place as a force to be reckoned with in the country music world. He’s shared the stage with country chart-toppers like Jelly Roll, Hardy, Jordan Davis, Rodney Atkins, and Warren Zeiders. Known for his high-energy performances, Hank continues to captivate audiences across the country.
