Carly Pearce

Fiercely rooted in the classics, the girl who left her kentucky home and high school at 16 to take a job at Dollywood has grown into a Grammy, ACM, CMA, and CMT award-winning country star who embraces the genre’s forward progression. Now a Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Grand Ole Opry member who has performed on the famed stage well over 100 times, Carly Pearce first lit a fire with her debut album Every Little Thing and the platinum-certified history-making title track and hasn’t slowed down since.

Pearce is currently working on her highly anticipated fifth studio album, following the release of her critically acclaimed fourth studio album, hummingbird (Big Machine Records). The album includes platinum-certified lead single “We Don’t Fight Anymore” (featuring Chris Stapleton), which earned Pearce her second Grammy® nomination for best country duo/group performance and fifth top 5 country radio hit. Pearce also wrapped her 40+ date headlining Hummingbird World Tour where she connected with fans across the globe, including a run of sold-out shows in the U.K. and Europe in support. Prior to hummingbird, Pearce released her critically acclaimed and commercially lauded third studio album 29 which includes country radio chart toppers “Never Wanted to be That Girl” with Ashley McBryde and 2x platinum-certified “What He Didn’t Do.” As she heads into her next chapter, Pearce continues to resonate with her honest lyrics and timeless musicality. 

SPECIAL GUEST

DEK of Hearts is a powerhouse trio blending country, pop, and bluegrass influences with soaring three-part harmonies and undeniable onstage chemistry. Featured on Season 28 of NBC’s The Voice, they earned a rare 4-chair turn that famously put Reba McEntire on the floor. Later crowned the official Mic Drop Winner during the Knockout Round, the trio advanced to the Top 3 of the season, culminating in a career-defining appearance in the Grand Finale of the Rose Parade before more than 40 million television viewers worldwide to kick off the new year. Their journey resonated widely, amassing over 26 million views across social media to date. National press coverage quickly followed, with features in People Magazine, American Songwriter, EntertainmentNOW, and on NBC’s Today Show — further cementing their place as one of country-pop’s fastest-rising acts.

The trio officially debuted as DEK of Hearts in April 2024, opening for Grammy Award–winning artist Rhonda Vincent, who played a pivotal role in championing their early steps as a group. Formed after graduating from Trevecca Nazarene University, their musical foundation began in worship music before expanding to churches, festivals, and premier venues across the country.

Winners of Tennessee Songwriters Week, they made their debut at the iconic Bluebird Café and released their breakout single “Taillights,” produced by Nick Schwarz — known for No. 1 hits in country (“She’s Somebody’s Daughter” by Drew Baldridge) and CCM (CAIN). They followed with their sophomore release, “Something in the Well,” written alongside award-winning songwriter Danny Myrick — known for hits including “International Harvester” by Craig Morgan and “She’s Country” by Jason Aldean — and Jacob Rice. With compelling harmonies, dynamic stage presence, and heartfelt storytelling, DEK of Hearts is redefining the modern country-pop trio.
