Listening with Jeff Breault: The Rising Stars of Country Music

As a listener of country music, Jeff Breault likes to stay on top of the new players in the genre. The country music community is one of the most prolific styles in the music industry. One of its most defining characteristics is how fanatically dedicated its following is. Rising country artists are always a big deal, as these musicians aim to join the ranks of legends both past and present. And Jeff wants to highlight some of them.

Craig Morgan One of the artists to catch the attention of Jeff Breault is Craig Morgan. With his beard streaked in white, he was a former US Army veteran who began exploring music while on duty. His weathered country voice and poignant lyrics have touched even the most prominent names of the music industry. Country legend Blake Shelton and pop star Kelly Clarkson see him as the next hope of country music. It’s an opinion shared by other greats, especially after his heart-rending new song about his son, Jerry.

The Highwomen Women comprise 16% of the country artists today. The Highwomen seek to change this. Brandi Carlile, Amanda Shires, Natalie Hemby, and Maren Morris have created a supergroup of Americana stars, ready to change the game in country music. The group’s bond is evident straight off from their first track, “Redesigning Women.” With their incredible tunes and infectious lyrics, they are speaking not just for female artists, but female country fans as well.

Temecula Road This young, upstart trio of burgeoning country stars came onto the scene only two years ago. Still, Jeff Breault concurs with the experts: they’re going to be big. The trio’s covers of some of the biggest country songs captivate an audience through amazing harmonies. The band’s most memorable tune, “Never Knew I Needed You” features these beautiful melodies. Their voices blend in perfect unison, creating a swelling accompaniment to new love.

These are just some of the must-hear artists of the year. With country music welcoming more new faces and amazing talents, there will be more music to look forward to.

Jeff Breault is a long-time financial adviser and country music fan. He loves to write about finance, country music, and vintage cars.
