As the founder and president of management firm KP Entertainment, Kerri Edwards is a key figure in the careers of country stars Luke Bryan, Cole Swindell, Dylan Scott and Chayce Beckham. She’s a perennial presence on Billboard’s Country Music Power Players (2015-2023) list of the most influential executives on Music Row and its Women in Music rankings (2017-2023) of the most powerful female executives in the entire business.
A decade since she first became a manager, Edwards is the ultimate insider, involved in the touring, publishing, branding and business decisions for some of the genre’s most-sought-after performers. Bryan fills football stadiums with his high-energy shows, has sold over 21.2 billion global streams, placed 30 singles at No. 1 and has won Entertainer of the Year two times from the Country Music Association and three times from the Academy of Country Music. During his career, Luke has amassed a total of 21.2 billion global streams, 11.5 million global album sales and 55.3 million track sales worldwide. He is the most digital single RIAA certified country artist of all time with 84 million digital single units and 15.5 million album certified units for a total of 99.5 million. This past year Bryan hosted the CMA’s for the third year in a row and returned to American Idol for his seventh season as a judge.
Swindell, a four-time ACM Award winner, has risen to become a headlining, multi-Platinum-selling superstar, racking up 12 No. singles (13 as a songwriter), winning numerous awards including most recently the 2023 iHeart Music Award for Country Song of the Year as well as the 2023 ACM Single and Song of the Year (as a songwriter and artist) for his three-time Platinum hit “She Had Me At Heads Carolina.” Swindell has won prestigious songwriting awards in addition to the 2023 ACM Song of the Year. including his massive, Grammy-nominated hit “Break Up In The End” being named the 2019 NSAI Song of the Year.
The ACM-nominated, multi-Platinum singer Scott has notched four No. 1 singles at radio (“My Girl,” “Nobody,” “New Truck” and “Can’t Have Mine”), as well as top five hit “Hooked.” Following his first career nomination for Best New Country Artist at the all-genre iHeartRadio Music Awards and a coveted spot among Country Radio Seminar’s New Faces of Country Music, his Platinum-certified ode to his wife, “Nobody,” earned him a 2021 CMT Music Award for Breakthrough Video of the Year. With career streams exceeding 2.6 billion, the Louisiana native has provided tour support for Swindell, Bryan and Chris Young, among others, cementing him as an in-demand live act. Livin’ My Best Life, the latest album from Scott, features fiery, No. 1 single “New Truck,” along with viral TikTok ballad, RIAA-Certified Platinum, No. 1 radio single, “Can’t Have Mine (Find You A Girl).”
American Idol winner and Amazon Music 2024 Breakthrough Artist to Watch Beckham is a force to be reckoned with. Beckham’s debut EP Doin’ It Right skyrocketed to No. 1 on iTunes All Genre and Country charts and received critical acclaim from E! News!, Billboard, People, CMT, PopCulture, American Songwriter and more. The first to ever win the competition show with an original song, “23” instantly shot to the top of numerous viral charts. Currently top 10 at country radio, Beckham’s “23” resonated so deeply with fans that it has continuously banked over 1 million on-demand streams per week since its release, amassing over 386 million thus far. Beckham is set to release his debut record, Bad For Me, on April 5, 2024. This summer, Beckham is joining Bryan on tour for a second year in a row.
Edwards and Bryan created a publishing co- venture with Sony Music Publishing ran by Aubrey Daniels, which includes hits for Bryan, Swindell, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georgia Line and more. Additionally, Edwards oversees several other burgeoning acts including EMI Records Nashville singer-songwriter Jon Langston, Buena Vista Records’ emerging sibling duo CB30, concert spinmeister DJ Rock and independent artist Whitney Duncan.
Though Edwards had a hand in these artists’ success, you won’t detect a sense of entitlement from her. She continues to prove daily that she belongs in the position, the role of a lifetime she was unexpectedly led to master.

Scotty McCreery Slates Fifth Studio Album For May
/by LB CantrellScotty McCreery will release his fifth studio album Rise & Fall via Triple Tigers Records on May 10.
With McCreery co-writing 12 of the album’s 13 tracks, Rise & Fall explores themes of heartbreak, rowdy nights, nostalgia, faith, newfound joy, fatherhood and enduring love. The singer-songwriter released a taste of the new project last night (Feb. 29) with the the track “Slow Dance.”
“I know every artist says it, but this is truly my favorite album I’ve made so far,” shares McCreery. “I wanted to create an album that reflected the music I grew up on and wasn’t chasing trends. So, I brought several of my songwriting buddies to the mountains of North Carolina to sit down and write a full-on country album that told a story, start to finish, and spoke to my soul. We’ve been performing most of the album live on the road and the response from the audiences has been overwhelming. I can’t wait for everyone to hear Rise & Fall when it comes out May 10th.”
Rise & Fall was produced by McCreery’s longtime collaborators Frank Rogers, Aaron Eshuis and Derek Wells, and includes his top 12-and-rising single “Cab In A Solo” as well as tracks “Can’t Pass the Bar” and “Love Like This.”
With five consecutive No. 1 hits under his belt and multiple Gold and Platinum certifications, McCreery was recently invited by his musical hero Garth Brooks to become the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry. His induction will take place on April 20 with another of his heroes, Josh Turner, officially welcoming him into the Opry family.
“I feel like we’re on the rise now, but I’ve fallen pretty low as well,” McCreery says regarding the highs and lows of his career. “I learned from every little part of that, and it helped me to know who I was as a person—let alone an artist. The rises and the falls helped craft these songs. They made this album what it is.”
Rise & Fall Track Listing:
1. “Little More Gone” (Scotty McCreery, Brent Anderson, Derek George, Frank Rogers, Bobby Hamrick, Jeremy Bussey, Monty Criswell)
2. “Cab In A Solo” (Scotty McCreery, Brent Anderson, Frank Rogers)

The group stepped into the historic circle to perform their ballad “Heartbeat,” from their most recent EP Ahead Of Our Time, and “New Old Trucks,” their collaboration with Dierks Bentley.
The milestone moment is a significant stepping stone for the 2023 CCMA Group of the Year as they continue to make their mark in the states while building upon their established success in Canada. They were supported by dozens of friends and family members in the audience. Lead singer James Barker sported a vintage Terri Clark T-shirt, further celebrating their Canadian roots as they showcased their talent and passion for country music on the Opry stage.
“It still doesn’t even feel real to have played in a place so rich with history, and it was such an honor to stand on the biggest stage in country music,” shares Barker. “This moment is a dream come true for all of us in the band. We’ve poured our hearts and souls into our music for the last decade, and to see it resonate here, in the heart of Nashville at the Opry, is a feeling words can’t describe. We’re so grateful for this incredible opportunity and it’s a moment we’ll be pinching ourselves about for a long time.”
