the successful country duo Steel Magnolia, Joshua Scott Jones
is no stranger to hit songs. After winning CMT’s Can You
Duet, Josh and his duo partner Meghan Linsey were thrust into
the limelight and it wasn’t long before they were a staple in the
country community. The duo ‘s hits included “Keep on Lovin’
You”,”Just By Being You (Halo and Wings”, and “Last Night Again” and they were nominated
for Best New Vocal Duo or Group at the ACM, CMA and CMT Awards. On his debut album
titled The Healing, which will drop in 2014, the singer opens up and tells a story that begs to be

was instantly a fan favorite on radio, including SIRIUS XM’s The Highway. With a full-length

this country-crooning rocker will go.

heartland-rockers latest single “Used Up” has seen rising success on
SIRIUS XM’s The Highway and his debut video is seeing strong
airplay on CMT. Mize spent a good part of 2013 behind the camera in
a couple of high profile turns on the small screen. The Kansas native
ended up in a widely viewed “Fabric of Our Life” cotton commercial
with Hayden Panettiere of ABC-TV’s lauded Nashville. But there’s
more: Mize played himself and sang in a recent episode of The CW’s
hit drama Hart of Dixie starring Rachel Bilson. He also has a fan in
country and pop superstar LeAnn Rimes, who not only tweeted about
Mize’s new single, “Used Up,” but also invited him to open her

blistering live show with his commanding onstage presence. He has
