Lucas Hoge, James Wesley, Olivia Lane, Lucy Angel, Viper Creek, And Dallas Smith Announced For Country Cruising 2017

Country Cruising has already announced the names of some of the artists that will be taking to the high seas in January 2017, with a trio of the hottest artists today…Kelsea Ballerini, LOCASH, and Chris Young, in addition to “Nashville” cast members Charles Esten and Clare Bowen, as well as longtime fan favorites Montgomery Gentry, Diamond Rio, Phil Vassar, and Halfway To Hazard.

The cruise’s organizers continue to go the extra mile by providing a wide array of talent on the Brilliance of the Seas® with six of the top newcomers in the format being represented on the cruise…Lucas Hoge, Platinum-selling Canadian artist Dallas Smith, James Wesley, Olivia Lane, Lucy Angel and Australian act Viper Creek.

Lucas HodgeThe musical journey of Lucas Hoge begins in his native state of Nebraska. His hometown consisted of forty-four people, and many of them donated money to the singer to make his way to Nashville. His song “If I Only Could” was featured on the hit TV show Smallville. He also written jingles for such companies as Lipton Tea and appeared with Faith Hill in the TV campaign for NBC’s Sunday Night Football.

Dallas SmithArmed with an arena-sized voice Dallas Smith is one of the most successful Country singers from north of the border. The Vancouver, British Columbia native is the only Canadian Country Artist to have all of his 12 charted singles peak in the Top Ten including the multi-week #1 hit “Wastin’ Gas.” His album, “Lifted”, took home trophies from the JUNO Awards as well as the Canadian Country Music Awards for Album of the Year. Smith kicks off 2016 with the infectious new single “One Little Kiss”.

James W.If you love traditional country music, James Wesley is an artist that demands your attention. Influenced by such artists as Marty Robbins and Merle Haggard, the Broken Bow recording artist struck a chord with fans via his debut single “Jackson Hole,” and has landed on many “Ones to Watch” lists because of such follow-up singles as “Real,” “Didn’t I” and “Thank A Farmer.” His newest single is called “Hooked Up,” recorded in association with his sponsor, Calcutta Fishing.

Olivia LaneNamed to several 2016 “Artists To Watch” lists, Texas native Olivia Lane brings a youthful and vibrant approach to her music. A fan of many styles of music, Lane says she enjoys everything from Frank Sinatra to Katy Perry. That versatility shows up in her music. Her latest single, “Make My Own Sunshine,” is beginning to make an impact at radio stations across the United States, and she has shared the stage with such acts as Frankie Ballard and the incomparable Wynonna.

Lucy AngelConsisting of mother Kate and daughters Lindsay and Emily Anderton, the trio Lucy Angel made waves as they emerged onto the Country scene with debut single “Crazy Too.” Their self-titled album made its way to Walmart and Target shelves nationwide alongside the AXS TV premiere of their 13-episode docu-series, “Discovering Lucy Angel.” Lucy Angel most recently performed on ABC’s hit romance reality show “The Bachelor”, which catapulted their digital sales landing them in the top 30 on the iTunes Country chart.

VIper CreekHigh energy and boundless enthusiasm are what fans can expect from Australian band Viper Creek. Nominated for a pair of awards from the CMC (Country Music Channel) Awards, the four piece band has made their mark on the “land down under,” and are working on bringing their unique sound to American audiences. They have released three well-received albums, with their latest being Kickin’ Up Dust. A brand new album, “Just Press Play”, is slated for release in August.
