From the artists that donate their performances to the fans who show up year after year, our sponsors and volunteers to the event crew and First Tee – Augusta staff and board. It’s nothing short of a team effort.”

Country music superstar Cole Swindell released his fourth studio album, Stereotype, to massive success. The project charted three back-to-back, Platinum-certified, multi-week No. 1 hits: “Single Saturday Night,” “Never Say Never” (with Lainey Wilson) and, most recently, his five-week 3x Platinum chart-topper “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” that garnered three ACM Awards for Single of the Year and Song of the Year (as songwriter and artist), an iHeart Music Award for Country Song of the Year and recently received a nomination for Musical Event of the Year for “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” with Jo Dee Messina for the 57^th CMA Awards.

In 2022 Swindell spent a total of 27 weeks in the Top 5 of the country singles chart with “Never Say Never” (8 weeks) and “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” (21 weeks). He released a special duet remix of his smash “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” featuring Messina that has produced multiple award nominations and is included on his new deluxe album Stereotype Broken, which also includes his current Top 10 and rising single “Drinkaby.” In the 10 years since his debut on Warner Music Nashville, Swindell has racked up 12 No. 1 singles as an artist – 13 as a songwriter – as well as 12 certified Platinum singles (including two singles at 3x Platinum and four at 2x Platinum), a Platinum-certified debut album (Cole Swindell), a Platinum-certified sophomore effort (You Should Be Here), a Gold-certified third entry (All Of It), and a Gold-certified fourth album (Stereotype).  His massive, GRAMMY-nominated hit “Break Up In The End” was named the 2019 NSAI Song of the Year. Swindell earned two nominations (Musical Event of the Year and Music Video of the Year) for “Never Say Never” at the 56^th CMA Awards. Swindell officially became a headliner on his own in 2018 with his Reason To Drink Tours, and his 2022 Back Down To The Bar Tour. In 2023, he toured with Thomas Rhett on the Home Team Tour and headlined his Twelve Tour in the fall. Swindell will headline in 2024 on his Win The Night Tour.

Black Dawg’s first studio album has the weight and precision of a band that has been together for many years. They traffic in driving beats and guitar riffs that give their songs staying power. There are moments on this album for toe tapping. There are soulful tunes that build and flatten and build again. There is a sad and stripped-down breakup song. But it’s the rhythm and the riffs that pull you through, and by the time you reach the record’s lone cover song, you won’t be surprised to find a Led Zeppelin tune, because Zeppelin’s influence is all over this inaugural effort.

For the past 20 years, DJ Rock has performed for crowds in premiere venues throughout North America and Mexico. As an open format DJ, he is well versed in all music formats, spinning everything from country to hip hop to rock to today’s top 40 hits. He’s worked alongside artists like Luke Bryan, Snoop Dogg, Florida Georgia Line, Gucci Man, John Legend, Jennifer Lopez, Blake Shelton and more. Rock has also appeared at some of the biggest-selling music festivals including Off The Rails, Rock The South, Route 91 and Tortuga. Rock just finished Luke Bryan’s “Country On Tour” which played over 40 shows last year, in addition to 13 stadiums, before wrapping the end of October.
