Frankie Raye
Recording artist Frankie Raye has been creating more new original music this year, including her single, “Over Now,” which she released in May. As she has recorded new original music in 2022, she has been hard-pressed to be away from the studio performing live as much as she did in 2021, when she was booked for a whopping 388 gigs.


8:00 PM on the Bamboo Willie's Stage

Lance Carpenter
Lance Carpenter is a big-hearted Arkansas farm kid with a voice to match. Growing up listening to country music in the car with his mom, Carpenter was inspired to pick up a guitar at a young age. Throughout college, Lance would perfect his craft in between classes and football practice. After graduating, Lance landed a job with the state of Arkansas and subsequently the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), but still found himself gravitating towards music writing songs whenever he had the chance. What was once a therapeutic hobby, quickly turned into something much bigger. Encouraged to give an impromptu performance while on the job in Maine, Lance began to think his material had a greater purpose and discovered NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association International) where he was able to receive feedback on his songs and network with other songwriters. The Arkansas native took trips back and forth to Nashville for three years before finally deciding to make the move to Tennessee. Lance wrote incessantly after settling into his new music city home and landed his first publishing deal shortly after. Landing cuts with artists all over town, Carpenter struck gold after writing "Love Me Like You Mean It" with, at the time, the unknown artist Kelsea Ballerini.

The song hit number one and changed Lance's life forever. While continuing to write with artists all over town, Lance found himself wanting to record his own artist project. One of the songs was heard by his friend and co-writer Krystal Keith (Show Dog) who fell in love with it immediately. After recording the song with Lance as a duet, Keith's label flipped out over the song and he soon became part of the Show Dog family. Currently, Lance is performing all around Nashville as well as continuing to release music.


Jayce Hein
Jayce Hein made the move to Nashville, Tennessee from Ohio in 2007. This prominent songwriter is best known for his Jason Aldean cut Country Boys World off the award-winning My Kinda Party album. He’s also had songs recorded by Brantley Gilbert, Gretchen Wilson, Nine Days, Casey James, George Canyon and more.



Mark Carson
Mark Carson has been writing songs and performing for many years. He has played venues and festivals in New Orleans, Nashville, Galveston, and elsewhere, including the Bluebird Café, Tipitina’s, and the Maple Leaf, as well as the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and the Pardi Gras and Gulf Coast Days Festivals in New Orleans and Galveston, TX, and the Mississippi Songwriters Festival in Ocean Springs.
