Diamond Rio

Originating as The Tennessee River Boys in the 80’s, the band evolved into Diamond Rio in 1989. The following year, they signed with Arista Nashville, and in 1991, with the release of “Meet in The Middle,” became the first country music group in history to reach No. 1 with a debut single. The band is also known for their multi-week chart-topper “How Your Love Makes Me Feel,” crossover hit “One More Day,” as well as timeless hits “Beautiful Mess,” “Unbelievable,” “I Believe,” and many more. Following their Arista Nashville deal, the band released two albums with Word Records—their Christmas album, The Star Still Shines, and their Dove and Grammy-winning Christian Country album, The Reason. Amassing numerous accolades throughout the years, the band is a member of the Grand Ole Opry; won six Vocal Group of the Year Awards (four CMA and two ACM); received fourteen Grammy nominations; and won a Grammy Award for their album, The Reason. Known for their charitable commitments, including long-time spokespersons for Big Brothers Big Sisters, the band has raised more than $1 million for nonprofits and received the Minnie Pearl Humanitarian Award.
