Lakeview

Introducing the "THAT AIN'T COUNTRY" Tour with co-headliners, Lakeview and Austin Meade! Lakeview: Tattooed, rural, and blue-collar country tandem Lakeview (Jesse Denaro and Luke Healy) have an unwavering faith in God, a belief in family and community, and a fanbase on social media that has grown rapidly in the past 12 months. Combine that with metal-core roots distilled into country hits like “Home Team” and “See Me in A Suit” by a love of early 2000s pop and rock-aimed country, plus contemporary, radio-ready sound. These elements define their early, fast-rising success. The band has grown from playing in Chinese restaurants, church basements, and VFW halls to larger arenas because they’re comfortable in the rock lane and as a country duo, bringing traditional country fans together with non-traditional country fans. Like their fans, they’re hard-working heroes who wear Wranglers, boots, and cowboy hats or love Metallica shirts, black skinny jeans, and face tattoos. “By the night's end, all our fans realize they’re all the same at the core,” says the band. Austin Meade: Thanks to his metal- and classic-rock loving dad, Meade got to see bands like Judas Priest and worshipped Whitesnake. In junior high he related to the intense emo-rock of Paramore and Fall Out Boy, and the power of songwriters like John Mayer. Yet, thanks to plainspoken but deep heartland songwriters like Tom Petty, and cutting his teeth touring in the Texas and Oklahoma Red Dirt scene, Meade’s music overflows with wide-open soulfulness. He was a drummer for years, even teaching to pay the bills, but Meade found his true voice when he began playing guitar as a teen in his pastor-father’s church. Those experiences lend both a gravitas and rebelliousness to Meade’s songs and self. 
 Now the frontman of his own band slinging guitar licks with expert precision, his music rolled out with two releases in 2014, his first EP “Long Ways To Go” followed by his first full-length album “Chief Of The Sinners.” His next EP “Heartbreak Coming” came in 2016 with a couple of singles to announce his commencement on the Texas Music Chart, followed by his second full-length album “Waves” in 2019. In 2021, Meade introduced his third LP 'Black Sheep' including the hit tracks "Happier Alone," "Cave In,"'Dopamine Drop," and "Deja Vu." Meade released his fourth LP 'Abstract Art Of An Unstable Mind' fall of 2022, further showcasing his ability to seamlessly blend genres into a groovy yet piercingly fresh sound of rock 'n' roll. Now comes a new era ushering in Meade's latest single "Blackout."
