Thompson, Wesley, Smith visit Texas

Thompson burst onto the country music scene with the release of his debut album, "Way Out Here." A native of Cedarburg, Wisc., Thompson began pouring concrete with his father at the age of 12, giving him first hand insight about the trials of hard-working people everywhere. Thompson's newest single, Won't Be Lonely Long, follows his top 15 single and the album's title track and his top 20 debut single, Beer On The Table. "Way Out Here" features 10 songs written or co-written by Thompson.

. Born in a small town in the southeast corner of Kansas, while still in high school, Wesley began singing in church, quickly moving to local bars and clubs while in college. After performing at live venues for several years, Wesley traveled to Nashville and met hit songwriter Rodney Clawson (Why, Amarillo Sky, Johnny Cash and I Saw God Today). Wesley eventually signed with Broken Bow. He has Top 30 single, Real, written by Neal Coty and Jimmy Melton

Smith, grew up in the small Georgia farm community of Crestview, Unincorporated. She knew she was destined to sing country music when at age five she told a judge at a talent contest, "I am already a country music singer, but I don't get to get onstage much." With no connections in Music City, she set out writing and singing demos, and in a little over a year signed her first publishing deal. Since then, she has had two songs cut (including Flying By on Billy Ray Cyrus' latest record," Home At Last"), and last fall, she signed a contract with Columbia Nashville and a publishing deal with Sony/ATV-Monument.
