His obsession with music took him from the stage at his Middle School talent show to audiences of tens of thousands and Kroeze’s career has continued to escalate year after year. Along with headlining the majority of his show, he has also had the privilege of performing with and also sharing the stage with music superstars like Montgomery Gentry, The Doobie Brothers, Travis Tritt, Blake Shelton, Joe Nichols, The Lost Trailers, Chris Kagle, Josh Thompson, and many others.

With overwhelming support of his home town of Barron, Wisconsin, Kroeze raised money to head to Nashville in 2014 and recorded his first single “Four Letter Words” at the famous Station West Recording Studio. That first single went on to receive heavy radio play throughout the Midwest and open numerous doors for the young musician.

A call from the producers of NBC’s Emmy Award Winning television show, The Voice, catapulted Kroeze onto the National Stage this year. Kroeze’s combination of vocal and guitar skills, along with his humility and small town country boy nature, have captured the hearts of millions of fans week after week.

Clafton made the pilgrimage to Nashville, TN in 2016 after graduating from Bemidji State University with a degree in Marketing Communications. Once Clafton got acclimated to the Nashville music scene he focused on honing his craft as a songwriter and in June of 2019 released his first single “Spare Key.” Clafton followed the success of his first single with two other singles “Matches” and “Burn Me.” Then in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Clafton was inspired to continue to create. With the help of a friend with a home studio they recorded Claftons first Acoustic EP, “Kentucky Ave” which was released in November 2020.

The summer of 2021 reignited Claftons passion of performing in a live setting. Clafton got the opportunity to open for Dustin Lynch, Jordan Davis, Jo Dee Messina and Blackhawk at FireFest in Cold Spring, MN. Looking forward, Clafton is focused on writing for his next project.

Hear songs by Adele, Madonna, Janis Joplin, Heart, The Dixie Chicks, Carrie Underwood, Dolly Parton, Cher, Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks, tlc, Pat Benatar, Taylor Swift, Tina Turner, Miranda Lambert and many, many others.  With stunning harmonies alongside a phenomenal 7 piece A-list band, “The Handsome Devils”,  these powerful and iconic songs simmer and will have you on your feet cheering!

After losing his Father to an auto immune disease when Shynes was 25, he decided to honor his Dad’s legacy by chasing the ambitions he had been putting off. At that time he was working at a residential treatment center for teens, and playing the occasional show on the weekend. “It was important work, and shaped who I am today in a lot of ways. But the stark reality of realizing how quickly life can change, made me realize how I wanted to spend my time here.”

This was also at a time when he was falling in love, adopting a daughter, and trying to build a home. “I think it benefited me in a lot of ways as there were no excuses. I had mouths to feed. What crippled me when music was a journey strictly for myself, was the idea the there had to be some deep meaning in everything. Once it was simply about providing for my family, that’s when I was able to see everything through the lens of simply building our lives together.”

Shynes would often get noticed as a strong local candidate to open up for National acts as they came through town, and even ended up on a tour with Platinum Recording Artist Howie Day. “That was transformative as I was playing for theaters full of people who had no obligation to buy into what I was selling on stage. But I realized I could hold their attention with just the stories and the songs. That was a landmark experience.”

Now Shynes has worked to become one of the most sought after performers in the Midwest. Recently selling out his first theater shows, and building a fully immersive live performance concept that includes up to a nine piece band paired with a video and light show. Blending shades of multiple genres over an acoustic and full band landscape, his songs are ripe with lyrical depth rarely paired with such mainstream appeal. The thing that seems to separate Shynes is unquestionably his vocal stylings. With a range and falsetto that is nothing short of captivating, his acoustic finger picking style acts as the perfect bed of warmth on which his soulful lyrics can rest.
