PICS: 100.7 WITL’s “Jam at The Junction”
It's always fun to share live country music with 100.7 WITL listeners, especially when we have the chance to introduce up-and-comers just beginning to make waves in Nashville.
WITL held its very first "Jam at The Junction" on February 21, 2023, with special guests Shane Profitt, Conner Smith and 12/OC.
Shane Profitt
Tennessee native Shane Profitt was discovered by country star Chris Janson while at a Nashville-area sushi restaurant. The two got to talking, and within a week, Janson had invited Profitt on tour with him. Flash forward to 2023, and Profitt's debut single at country radio ("How It Oughta Be") is flying up the charts.
Conner Smith
Conner Smith grew up in Nashville with a mom who worked around the music business as a columnist. He knew from a very young age that songwriting and performing were what he wanted to do. Barely into his 20s, he went on the road with country star Thomas Rhett - who Smith now counts among his frequent co-writers. Smith's next single "Creek Will Rise" is expected to be released in Spring 2023.
12/OC
12/OC is a band of brothers from Maine whose popularity in New England is beginning to spread into other parts of the country. The band, which takes its name from a carpentry mishap, is fronted by 18-year-old lead singer Reid Nichols. Older brothers Will and Jack play lead guitar and bass, respectively, while family friend George Chaison-Lapine handles drums.
