Kip Moore
The Georgia native, 32, has crashed the country charts with ''Somethin' 'bout a Truck.'' And his debut, Up All Night, crackles with fresh Nashville energy thanks in part to his evocative rasp, which works equally well on summery kick-back jams like ''Truck'' and romantic, arena-ready anthems. Moore is currently opening for Billy Currington, but we wouldn't be surprised to see an A-lister like Brad or Toby nab him for a fall tour. Grady Smith
