The singer/songwriter’s self-titled debut, released on March 2, 2010, made Easton the first male newcomer to reach No. 1 with a debut single in 6 ½ years, as A Little More Country Than That soared to No. 1. A Little More Country Than That paints a picture of rural life that speaks to Easton’s small town sensibilities. “Even though I didn’t write it, this song identifies who I am,” he says. “It shows character and that’s important where I’m from. You learn to say ‘yes, ma’am’ and ‘no sir’ and to open the door for the ladies.”

Contemporary Christian artist Francesca Battistelli will perform at Lake Winnepesaukah’s Jukebox Junction Stage on Sunday, July 18, with one show at 3:00 p.m.
Armed with her passion for writing and hope for a hurting world, Francesca put pen to paper and crafted heartfelt, personal reflections on life and faith for what’s now her major-label debut, My Paper Heart. Inspired by everyone from the jazz greats her dad introduced her to as a kid, to contemporaries like John Mayer, Sara Bareilles and Nichole Nordeman, Francesca set out to write “soulful pop music that someone pops in the morning and says, ‘Now I can start my day. I feel encouraged.’” Her first single, I’m Letting Go, not only highlights Francesca’s expressive vocal but her overarching desire to encourage her peers not to settle for anything less than what God has for them. “There’s a line in the song that says ‘I feel like I’m falling/And that’s what it’s like to believe,’” Francesca shares. “Walking in faith is like free-falling, yet that’s the best place to be. But so many of us are afraid to do that.”

The key to Jason Michael Carroll’s success is evident in every note he sings – live or in the studio – and it lies in his authenticity. Whether it’s the empathy brought to bear on the tragedy of Alyssa Lies, the pure passion of Livin’ Our Love Song, or the youthful exuberance of I Can Sleep When I’m Dead, Carroll knows how to connect with fans. Together with hard work, undeniable talent, and good looks, that connection has launched one the country’s most impressive young careers.
