A Power Partnership: Gravel Road x Riser House

Earlier this year, Gravel Road signed Lakeview, a move that was already stirring buzz. Now, with Riser House Entertainment joining the team, the fire's about to spread even further. The two powerhouse companies are combining their resources to give Lakeview the tools they need to cross genre lines and take over the music scene.

Gravel Road founder Anthony Martini couldn’t be more excited about the partnership. "Lakeview embodies the independent spirit, so it's an honor to support Jesse and Luke as they smash traditional boundaries," he said. "Gravel Road is a home where country artists can rewrite the rules, and I'm excited to add Riser House to the team as we blaze this new path."

Jennifer Johnson, president of Riser House, echoed the excitement. "From the moment I heard Lakeview’s music and met Jesse and Luke, I knew we had to be involved," Johnson said. "They deliver genuine country storytelling with a raw, gritty rock edge. There's no doubt—they're the arena rock of country music."

The Sound and Success of Lakeview

Lakeview is already making serious noise with their singles. “Money Where Your Mouth Is,” featuring Gideon, is climbing the charts on Active Rock and is in power rotation on SiriusXM Octane. Meanwhile, their track “What I Know Now” is a staple on SiriusXM’s The Highway, getting regular spins and grabbing the attention of country fans everywhere.

Their music has a unique blend of country storytelling with a rock edge, perfectly capturing both the heart of rural life and the energy of rock. Lakeview’s songs aren’t just tunes you hum along to—they’re anthems that leave you ready to hit the open road or tear up the dance floor.

Rockin' Arenas with the Best of the Best

As if a new album and major airplay weren't enough, Lakeview is hitting the road this fall with some of the biggest names in rock. Yes, you read that right! Jesse and Luke will be joining Breaking Benjamin, Staind, and Daughtry in arenas across the country. Lakeview isn’t just toeing the line between country and rock—they're obliterating it.

Gravel Road and Riser House: A Force in the Music Industry

Gravel Road’s mission is all about giving artists the creative freedom to forge their own paths, and their roster reflects this. From discovering talents like Tyga, Lil Dicky, and Jelly Roll, Gravel Road has proven time and again that independence doesn’t mean compromise. They're all about helping artists reach the top while staying true to their vision.

Riser House Entertainment, on the other hand, is known for its commitment to timeless music. With a roster that includes Mitchell Tenpenny, LANCO, and Dillon Carmichael, they've amassed over two billion streams and scored 11 number one hits. Their artist-first philosophy aligns perfectly with Gravel Road’s mission, making this partnership a match made in country-rock heaven.

Who Is Lakeview?

Tattooed, rural, and blue-collar, Lakeview is the definition of down-to-earth country with a rock twist. They’re the kind of band that feels just as at home playing in a VFW hall as they do in an arena. With roots in metal-core and a deep love for early 2000s pop rock, Jesse and Luke have distilled their influences into something fresh, something bold, and something unapologetically them. And their faith in God, family, and community is the backbone of everything they do.

What’s Next?

With a powerhouse team behind them, a highly-anticipated debut album on the way, and major arena tours lined up, Lakeview is just getting started. September 13th is only the beginning of what promises to be a wild ride through the country and rock worlds alike. Buckle up, because Lakeview is about to take you on a high-octane journey you won’t forget! Keep your ears peeled and your speakers cranked—Lakeview is here, and they’re not slowing down!
