JB ROCKET
JB Rocket was formed during the taping of CMT's second season of the hit reality show "Can You Duet." Jonathan Cox and Brandon Green were put together by the judges after being split from their original partners. Both grew up in small southern towns pursuing music from a very early age. They immediately clicked as if they had been singing and performing together for years. They soon became a crowd favorite from early on and were honored to be the first runner up in the finale.
Since the conclusion of the show, they have been busy writing, meeting fans and recently inked a contract with The Valory Music Co. and working with Scott Borchetta.
Jonathan Cox, 19, is part of a close, supportive family from his hometown of Lenoir, N.C. Brandon Green, 24, is a Mississippi boy from the small town of Lucedale, population 900. Both come from strong supportive families and communities. The two are known for bringing lots of energy to their shows and a dedication to their fans. Big Kenny once told them they would have fans from kids to grandmas. This has proven to be true. Naomi Judd’s words: “This rocket is going to the moon”. JB Rocket invites you to climb onboard with them as they get ready to take off!

DAVID NAIL
We are pleased to announce that David Nail will be performing on the 2010 Buckeye Cruise for Cancer!
Growing up in a small southeastern Missouri town, David Nail might've chosen to follow any of the dreams that drifted by like the riverboats on the mighty Mississippi: but in the end, it was music that called his name.
Through the ups and downs of a life in the music business, Nail was persistent - and his dream became a realization with I'm About To Come Alive, a collection of songs that captures the highs and lows and the hometown flavor of his own experiences. "I wanted to take something from the people who've inspired me," he says. "But also put myself in there, and just make something I could be proud of. It's definitely a moody record. There's definitely going to be some heartbreak in there, as well as some dark times. But there's music you listen to when you're feeling good, and music you listen to when you're down and out, and I think this is a record that satisfies both needs."
Hard knocks and heartache, good times and bad, small towns and big cities - it's all in his music. "They're all aspects of life," he says. "I'm still growing as both a person and artist, and will hopefully continue getting better in regards to both."
