Iheart radio’s Bobby Bones, the award-winning nationally syndicated country radio host and his band The Raging Idiots kicked off 2016 in a major way. Their first full length adult-targeted album, The Critics Give it 5 Stars, was released with collaborations by Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks and other country stars.

Iheart radio’s Bobby Bones & The Raging Idiots began as great friends playing silly tunes on local television, radio, and random stages and has snowballed into a wildly beloved musical comedy group. Their unique ability to mix tongue-tripping word play along with lively storytelling is on full display. Their six track digital EP The Raging Idiots Presents: The Raging Kidiots features the anthemic head-bobbing sing-along “When I Grow Up,” which dares kids to dream big.

Jana Kramer’s platinum debut, “Why Ya Wanna,” rocketed to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in 2012 making her the most played new country artist of that year. Her self-titled debut album hit No. 5. In addition, she was named 2013 Academy of Country Music Top New Female Artist.

Jana Kramer, was already a star on The CW’s “One Tree Hill,” when she left to focus on her passionate love of country music singing and songwriting. Her second album thirty one featuring “Boomerang,” “Last Song,” “Don’t Touch My Radio” and “Love,” debuted with career-best sales numbers, landing in the Top 10 of the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart and at No. 3 on the Country Albums chart.
