About Neil Perry

Multi-instrumentalist Neil Perry sold over 9 million albums, won a Grammy, 3 CMT, 4 ACM and 2 CMA Awards as part of the sibling super-group The Band Perry. Having spent his whole life in music, Neil Perry, for the first time, is stepping into the spotlight with his own name and story. Together with 3-time GRAMMY-winning producer Nathan Chapman and Grammy Nominated & Brit Award-winning producer Kevin Moloney, Neil’s highly anticipated solo project promises to captivate hearts and minds. This new chapter is set to begin in 2025.

About Nathan Chapman

Three-time Grammy awarding winning producer and songwriter Nathan Chapman is a rarity in Music City; he was born and raised right in Nashville. Only son to two working musicians, Nathan began playing drums and guitar at age three, sang on his first commercial album at age six, and was recording music by the time he turned fourteen. It is no surprise he wound up making music his living; what is surprising is that he would produce a multi-platinum selling album on a brand new artist, Taylor Swift, his first time at bat. All five of Taylor’s albums (Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, and 1989) have solidified Nathan’s place among the great producer/artist combinations in music history and he hasn’t stopped there. Mickey Guyton, Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear, Shy Carter, Thompson Square, The Band Perry, Lionel Richie, Shania Twain, Cassadee Pope, Jenna Raine, Keith Urban, and Lady A are just some of the artists Nathan has worked with since Taylor’s first single “Tim McGraw” hit the charts in 2007. Since then he’s had 17 number ones as a producer. Nathan credits his love of songwriting and songwriters as the main ingredient which drives his production work. That fondness for the craft shows in his over 50 major label cuts as a songwriter. Nathan has written songs recorded by Lady A, Kesha, Michael Bublé, Avicii, Phillip Phillips, Kylie Minogue, Robin Schulz, Brynn Elliott, Michael Ray, Dan and Shay, Eric Paslay, Martina McBride, Colbie Caillat, Lauren Alaina, Sara Evans, Shy Carter, Karley Scott Collins, Rascal Flatts, O.A.R, Mickey Guyton, Lea Michelle, Jake Owen, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and Darius Rucker to name a few. His first number one as a songwriter was “Homegrown Honey” by Darius Rucker and cowritten with Darius Rucker and Charles Kelley. He’s currently writing songs for Warner Chappell Nashville.

Nathan is also a world-class musician who has played as a musician on records for Keith Urban, John Fogerty, and Eric Church, as well as playing many of the instrumetns on the albums he produces.

About Joel Crouse

Born and raised in Massachusetts, Joel Crouse moved to Nashville to pursue a country music career at just 17 years old. After doing the Nashville dive bar scene for a while, Crouse hit his mark opening for the likes of Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran on Swift’s RED Tour and spending four years on the road with Darius Rucker. After watching Sheeran perform on the RED Tour, he realized he wasn’t making music that was truly authentic to him. With the release of his newest pop EP, Wasteland, Crouse gives an exclusive look into music that celebrates his idiosyncrasies and takes listeners through the struggles of finding himself, getting back on his feet, and the dark days that pushed him to where he is today. Despite the hardships of an intense car accident, rehab, and a broken business relationship, Crouse has remained resilient. As a true Boston boy, his charm comes from his sweet, sarcastically mannered sense of self, His tune “On My Way”, reflects the songwriter’s passionate advocacy for mental health awareness, suicide prevention, and vulnerability on his platform.

About Jet Harvey

A native of Memphis, TN, Jet left home at 18 years old to pursue his dreams in music and begin the journey of finding his way through the industry. At 24 years old, after performing at Disney World, touring the country and finding success as an artist in both Christian and Rock music, Jet moved to Nashville, TN.
