LoCash — a duo consisting of Chris Lucas of Baltimore and Preston Bust of Kokomo, Indiana — met in Nashville. They hosted the Country Music Awards in 2017 and were nominated for new vocal duo of the year and duo of the year in the past three years. Their hit singles include "Feels Like A Party" and "I Love This Life," among others. Lucas reportedly grew up in Lansdowne and Pasadena before moving to Nashville.

The 1980s hair band Night Ranger out of San Francisco, known for its arena rock, has a host of bestselling albums such as Dawn Patrol, Midnight Madness, 7 Wishes, Big Life and Man In Motion, and hit songs like "Sister Christian" and "Don't Tell Me You Love Me."
