2. ILIZA
She is the only female and youngest comedian to hold the title of NBC’s Last Comic Standing. Her debut one-hour comedy special, War Paint, reached #1 on the iTunes charts and was named one of its Top 10 Albums of 2013. Iliza’s follow-up, Freezing Hot, a Netflix Original Comedy Special, sealed her title as one of the hottest touring acts in America, with Esquire Magazine listing her as one of the top working comedians today.
In September, 2016, Iliza premiered her latest Netflix special, Confirmed Kills, which finds the comedian in top form, tackling poignant topics while not trading on laughs.
Iliza loves performing on college campuses! In addition to her new TV show (Truth and Iliza), she also is releasing her new book on Nov 8th. She would especially love to do some dates immediately following the release.
3. THE NIGHT GAME
The Night Game will be on Mayer this summer. Martin Johnson (front man from Boys Like Girls) is a major songwriter who has written hits for Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne, Jason Derulo, Pentatonix, Gavin DeGraw, and many more Noisey calls debut song “The Outfield” “top-down-in-your-sick-convertible-Mustang kind of retro. Like pushing the pedal to the metal down the Pacific Coast Highway vibez. Like looking over at the person behind the wheel and realizing it’s OK to cede control and take your own hands off the proverbial wheel… for now.”
4. BROOKE EDEN
Has opened for Tim McGraw, Kid Rock, Alan Jackson, Sugarland, Florida Georgia Line, and more
5.9M+ total streams, 96K+ monthly listeners, and 2.4K followers on Spotify
Only country artist to perform at the Billboard Hot 100 Music Festival and one of CMT’s “Next Women of Country”
Billboard called her a “fiery country star-in-the-making”
According to AXS TV: “Eden’s brand of country music is just like her: scrappy, soulful and no B.S”
5. TOMMY CALDWELL
After a seven-year quest of finding a way to free climb the steepest, blankest face of the monolithic El Capitan, Tommy Caldwell, and partner Kevin Jorgeson, stood atop The Dawn Wall with the world watching. Even President Barack Obama was moved by their nineteen-day climb stating, “You remind us that anything is possible.”
Tommy was named one of National Geographic’s 2014 “Adventurers of the Year.”
In 2017, Tommy penned the inspiring memoir, The Push: A Climber’s Journey of Endurance, Risk, and Going Beyond Limits.
