The Chicks, from Dallas, burst onto the music scene with their 1998 album Wide Open Spaces, an album that sold more CD’s that year than all other country music groups combined.  Composed of lead singer Natalie Maines and sisters Emily Strayer and Martie Maguire, the band boasts 13 Grammy Awards.  The group released its fifth studio album in March 2020, the first in nearly 14 years.  Prior to the album’s release, the band changed its name.

Toronto’s Wild River has cultivated a following through its live performances.  In early 02022, the band released Sidelines, a 10-track album infusing pop, rock, indie, and folk.
