Bryce Leatherwood (Mercury Nashville)

WHAT IT IS: Injecting new vitality into the country tradition, 24-year-old Mercury Nashville talent Bryce Leatherwood is a next-gen traditionalist plugged into the modern mainstream. Gifted with vocal charisma and the warm, rumbling twang of his Georgia roots, Leatherwood was the winner of NBC’s The Voice in 2022, which he followed with his Grand Ole Opry debut, headlining the Neon Does Tour and debut Country-radio single “Hung Up on You.” His upcoming debut album shows a deep reverence for the past and an open mind about what comes next.
