High Gear Promotions, Hellfire Lighting Company and The Outpost Ranch are proud to present the 4th edition of the Spotlight Series - a unique Nashville-style writers round headlined by award-winning songwriters in an intimate, unplugged setting where they share heartfelt tales, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and live acoustic performances of their chart-topping hits. Past headliners include award winning and Hall of Fame songwriters including James Otto, Wyatt Durrette, Casey Beathard and Kendell Marvel.
Jon Nite, a GRAMMY-nominated, CMA and ACM award-winning songwriter, has penned 18 #1 songs and over 30 hits total, earning three CMA Triple Play Awards, with standout tracks including Cole Swindell's “Break Up in the End,” Luke Bryan's “Knocking Boots” and “Strip it Down,” Keith Urban's “We Were Us,” and Lee Brice’s “Boy,” among others.
Zach Kale is a multi-platinum, CMA and ACM–nominated, Dove Award–winning songwriter, producer, and artist, whose work bridges the worlds of country, pop, and faith-based music. Best known for co-writing and producing multiple No. 1 hits for Gabby Barrett—the 8× Platinum global crossover “I Hope” and the 4× Platinum follow-up “The Good Ones”—Kale has become one of Nashville’s most sought-after and genre-defining hitmakers. With an instinct for crafting songs that resonate across audiences and formats, Kale earned a GMA Dove Award as a producer on Anne Wilson’s REBEL album and penned the #1 Christian radio hit “I See Grace” for Micah Tyler.
Wisconsin native and Spotlight Series alum, Chris Kroeze, who was runner-up on NBC's “The Voice” in 2018, will open the show. In addition to his soaring vocals and world class guitar skills, Kroeze’s latest singles “Trigger Happy” and “Even Rednecks Get the Blues,” showcase his impressive talent as a songwriter as well.
