ALL the Nash Next Info YOU Need to Know

26 unbelievably talented artists entered Nash Next 2017 Bloomington/Peoria. After a month of fan and judge rating, it was narrowed down to the top ten who performed at the Twisted Spoke Saloon in Pekin, where Lick Creek was crowned the local winner!

Check out the amazing photos from our photographer, Kirsten Krupps (and check out more of her work here).

Here’s the live video they sent on for the first round of the NATIONAL competition! Go give it a big ol’ thumbs up!

TEN finalists will be chosen in early October and will be flown to Nashville to perform in front of Kix Brooks (of Brooks and Dunn), Scott Borchetta (from Big Machine Label Group), and at least one BIG recording artist. ONE winner will be chosen and will sign a record deal with Big Machine and when they release their first song with the label, will have it played on radio stations across the country, guaranteed!

Shout out to our sponsor, Country Inns and Suites!
