Songwriter. Activist. Rock star. Woman. Champion. Mother. Nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow is many things, but at the core, she remains a creative spirit channeling her talents into music that lifts people up, brings them together, and speaks to the truths on the horizon. Twenty-five years after winning her first Grammy, as well as Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “All I Wanna Do,” the Kennett, Missouri-born guitarist/vocalist/creative thought about all she’d done, the places she’d been, the lives that’d touched hers – and saw the rich tapestry her journey had become. Crow’s is a career beyond dreams, with songs that defined the third wave of feminism, a rockist’s ability to sweep the pop charts without losing any edge and enough wide-open Midwestern joy to captivate the world. Her first nine studio albums have sold 35 million copies worldwide; seven charted in the Top 10, and five were certified for Multi-Platinum sales. Crow has been feted by a new generation of singer-songwriters who have covered her songs and talked about her influence, including Phoebe Bridgers, H.E.R, Haim, Maren Morris, Lorde, Sasami, Best Coast, and Brandi Carlile. In 2019, Crow released her critically acclaimed album THREADS via The Valory Music Co., a collection of collaborations made with and in tribute to artists with whom Crow has musical connections. And in turn, she seeks to inspire people through her music and songs, especially the younger generation.

“The passion and ability of our young people to dig deep and express themselves energizes and encourages me endlessly,” Crow says. “It thrills me to see their passion and will to change the world."

Most recently, the full-length documentary film based on Crow’s life and career, entitled Sheryl, premiered to critical acclaim at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival ahead of its network premiere on SHOWTIME. An intimate story of song and sacrifice, Sheryl navigates an iconic yet arduous musical career while the artist battles sexism, ageism, depression, cancer, and the price of fame, before harnessing the power of her gift.

Crow is known as well for her passionate support of multiple charities, including The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, The World Food Program, Feeding America, ADOPT A CLASSROOM, the Elton John AIDS Foundation, MusiCares, the Delta Children’s Home and many other worthy causes.

The Salt Lick Artists

Paula Prieto is a singer-songwriter from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Though born in the U.S., her heart beats to the rhythm of her Argentine roots. With a sweet voice that captivates hearts and a passion for music that transcends borders, Paula Prieto has established herself as an emerging figure in the Argentine music scene. Her latest EP, "esto es para mi || EP, " has struck a chord with listeners, thanks to soul-stirring singles like "Lo que elegiste" and "Yo nunca sé nada de ti." Fueled by her passion for storytelling and her love for the guitar, she's gearing up for her next musical venture "Temporal LP" , blending folk, rock, and indie-alternative into one body of work. In 2022, she opened for Ed Maverick's concerts in the USA. In 2024, she opened for the Mexican artist Bratty on her USA tour and shared a the stage with the Portuguese singer-songwriter MARO at the Cantoral in Mexico City.

Vincent Lima crafts songs at the intersection of universal human stories and the vulnerable corners of his own experiences. Born in Chicago and raised in New Jersey, Lima began writing original songs around age five, continuing into high school, when he became infatuated with folk music and taught himself how to play the piano. “After the death of a close friend, I began writing songs about the grief process and realized they were so personal, I should start singing them,” he says. This commitment to emotional honesty is palpable in Lima’s voice, which is simultaneously gravelly and tender. His songs are steeped in classic folk influences like Jackson Browne or Cat Stevens, but the modern, cinematic production and blues-inflected vocals more closely recall Hozier and Dermot Kennedy.

Now based in Los Angeles, Lima has toured nationally with artists like KALEO, Darren Kiely and Jonah Kagen, and is slated for festival appearances at Bonnaroo, Osheaga and Ocean’s Calling. On the heels of his first ever sold-out headline run in May, Lima will continue his headline tour this fall with dates across the US, as well as Vancouver, London and Dublin. His EP Versions of Uncertainty is out July 19th, featuring the single “Orpheus” and five other songs that take inspiration from the tales of Orpheus and Eurydice to speak to timeless experiences of love, loss and hope in a world in which things fade.

Kyle Ray is an Americana artist from Barren County, Kentucky. His musical inspirations include the rebelliousness of classic outlaw country paired with the harmonic and lyrical richness of bluegrass and folk. Drawing from artists like The Black Keys, Jason Isbell, Jackson Browne, and Chris Stapleton, his catalog spans from weary acoustic ballads to upbeat, energetic tracks. Kyle’s debut single, "If It’s Taxed, It Ain’t Shine," released in early 2024, captures a raw and captivating sound, with lyrical content rooted in the beautiful and tragic experiences of his upbringing in small-town Kentucky. Kyle Ray is just beginning to make his mark in the industry.
