Tattooed, rural, and blue-collar country tandem Lakeview (Jesse Denaro + Luke Healy) have an unwavering faith in God, a belief in family and com-munity, and a fanbase on social media that is connecting a community of blue collar music fans from around the world. Combine that with metal-core roots distilled into country hits like "Home Team" and "What I Know Now" by a love of early 2000s pop and rock-aimed country, plus contemporary, radio-ready sound. These elements define their early, fast-rising success.

The band has grown from playing in Chinese restaurants, church basements, and VFW halls to larger arenas because they're comfortable in the rock lane and as a country duo, bringing traditional country fans together with non-traditional country fans. Like their fans, they're hard-working heroes who wear Wranglers, boots, and cowboy hats or love Metallica shirts, black skinny jeans, and face tattoos.
