Phillip Phillips burst onto the national scene in 2012, winning a little singing show you may have heard of called “American Idol”. Fans instantly connected with his effortless, warm singer-songwriter delivery. Chart success immediately followed: his first single, “Home”, became the best-selling song in the show’s history. His debut album went platinum, followed by two more successful releases. Phillip then returned with last year’s album, “Drift Back”. He also became a new father in 2019! He’s toured the world and played sold-out shows for years…and now he joins us for West of the Fest 2024!

You may not immediately recognize the name “Sam Nelson”, but you are no doubt familiar with his signature voice. You may better know him as the lead singer of one of the most popular alternative bands of the past decade, X-Ambassadors! The band has had countless hits, including such signature songs as “Renegades” and “Unsteady”. Sam has also had success as a solo artist as well as writing and producing hits for Rihanna, The Weeknd, Sza and Maren Morris! Sam is also no stranger to the West of the Fest stage-we are thrilled to bring him back for a second time in 2024!

Sarah Reeves has been surrounded by music her whole life. Her father was a music producer and songwriter and she recorded her first full-length album while she was still a teenager! Her faith-based sound quickly found an audience. Her latest release is her most emotionally raw to date. “Best Days” details her battles through personal struggles and her belief that no matter what we are going through, our best days are truly ahead of us. No song encapsulates this message more than her hit single, “Get Back Your Fight”-quickly rising up the charts. We are excited to welcome Sarah Reeves to West of the Fest this year!

Growing up, Knox knew he had an interest in music more than the average kid. His teenage years were sound tracked by artists such as Fall Out Boy, Panic! At the Disco, All-American Rejects, and Ed Sheeran. The summer before he started at Ohio University, Knox picked up a guitar and taught himself in a few months He was so serious about pursuing music, he dropped out of college, saved up his money and eventually moved to Nashville to pursue his craft.

His debut EP, “How To Lose A Girl in 7 Songs”  was released in 2023.  A TikTok featuring his song Sneakers amassed nearly 2 millions views overnight and the song now has over 28 million streams. Knox has since released a second EP and has been touring, opening for the Band Camino, Nightly, and Boys Like Girls.  He’s making a stop to perform his latest fan favorite “Not the 1975” and more at West of the Fest 2024!

We’ve all seen the spinning chairs on the hit reality TV singing show, “The Voice”. In 2013, Cassadee Pope tried out for the show after fronting her own band for years. All the judges spun around and Cassadee was on her way to stardom, later becoming the first female winner of the show. Country success followed, and now she is returning to her pop-punk roots for the next stage of her career-describing her new sound as “coming back home”. We’re excited to welcome Cassadee Pope to rock out at West of the Fest 2024!
