ABOUT HOLLOWAY ROAD:
Holloway Road – Jack Cooper & Rob Gulston – are one of the most exciting new international duos in country-pop music, having enjoyed extensive radio support from BBC Radio, Country Hits Radio, Chris Country and Downtown Radio in the UK, and WSM-AM in the USA; nearly a million streams for their independently released music to date; and sharing stages with the likes of Lindsay Ell and more, as well as numerous major festival appearances including C2C Festival & Country Music Week events and the first ever The Long Road Festival. National media coverage to date has included Vice, Country Music Magazine, Maverick, and The Daily Mail (“an impressive set for a huge mob of fans…”), and with growing support from fans worldwide and three iTunes Top Five EPs to date, success in a growing international country scene increasingly looks like an inevitable part of the Holloway Road story.
During the summer of 2018 they returned to Nashville to write for their third EP ‘Broke’, which is available to stream/download now, featuring the single ‘Get The Girl’, which has been featured on multiple streaming playlists worldwide. More recently they shared brand new track ‘Lightning’ and played sold-out shows on their UK headline tour, and are gearing up for a busy festival season this summer including CMA Fest in Nashville and a date supporting Lauren Alaina in their home county of Essex, UK.
About CMA Fest:
The Ultimate Country Music Fan Experience™ began in 1972 as Fan Fair®, which drew 5,000 fans to Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium. Now in its 48th year, the legendary festival has become the city’s signature Country Music event that hosts tens of thousands of fans from all 50 states, Puerto Rico and 36 international countries. In 2018, CMA Fest featured 11 official stages with hundreds of artists performing—all to benefit music education. CMA Fest is a one-of-a-kind festival with artists donating their time to perform so ticket proceeds can directly benefit high-quality music programs across the country through the CMA Foundation. CMA Fest is filmed for a primetime ABC Television Network special, with 2019 marking the 16th consecutive year the event has been filmed for television, a feat no other music festival has achieved.
