ARBOR NORTH
Nashville recording artist, Arbor North, is a husband/wife country duo made up of solo artist, AC Jones, and Michael Boris (of the former country trio, Lockeland). Their previous individual accolades include four top 40 singles on the Music Row Country Breakout chart, two singles on the Billboard Country Indicator Chart, a single debut with Billboard magazine, and tours throughout North America and the UK.
As a duo, their single, “You, Me, and Jesus”, has accumulated over 6 million streams across digital platforms since its release, and has been used in weddings worldwide.
In August of 2022, they embarked on their first international tour of the United Kingdom as a duo with performances at Millport Country Music Festival (Millport, Scotland), Nashville Meets London (London, England), and Nashville Sounds in the Round (Birmingham, England).
They have had the opportunity to open for acts such as Chase Bryant and Shy Carter, be part of a musical lineup with Scotty McCreery, and were also named one of the Top 5 Acts of Nashville Meets London 2022 by EF Country. Michael and AC, as Arbor North, have also done extensive work in content creation, and have accumulated over 64 million views on their YouTube channel alone. They have also received the Silver Play Button Award, granted to YouTube creators with over 100k subscribers.
With a sonic landscape that combines modern country, rock, and Americana, coupled with lyrical content that is heartfelt and autobiographical, the duo strives to both write and self-produce music that is fun, memorable, and nostalgic.
LEE PAUL
A Nashville-inspired UK country singer/songwriter drawing on personal experiences through musical medium. Heavily inspired by old-school Eagles through to modern artists including Kip Moore and Keith Urban, I enjoy exploring the infusion of pop and country to promote a feel-good, upbeat take on the genre.
Enthusiastic about music since the ripe age of 6, my love for the art has blossomed ever since. I was happened upon at a singing contest and offered a record deal through Metro Radio at 17. I then pursued a music degree before later taking to stage productions and fulfilling the lead role in Aladdin; the combination of these helped shape my knowledge of/develop my skills in performing arts. Later projects involved starting my own band - Cedarway - through which I gained experience of writing and performing pop/rock music. With time, the genre transitioned when I went solo and leaned into my love of country.
During this period, I had a short stint with Bloodshot Records in Chicago as a singer songwriter. My first album, Red White and Blue, was written about love and heartbreak in my young-adult years. My second album, Coming Home, focused more on mental health - of which I am now a strong advocate and is influential in my current material.
Indulging in my much-loved songwriting, more music is on the way; my latest single, I Pick You Up, is ever gaining traction, and is available on all major platforms. I'm excited to share my ever-evolving sound with like-minded music lovers.
