Colton told the almost capacity audience that they were in for their very first “Swoncert” and Zach said how happy he was to be there sharing this moment with his “sister” that night, referring of course to his brother Colton, and getting a chorus of laughter from the crowd.

Dakota Bradley Releases New Single “Won’t Be Young Forever” to Country Radio

Country music newcomer Dakota Bradley has released a new single to Country radio, titled “Won’t Be Young Forever.” Co-written by Bradley, along with Lance Miller, Brad Warren and Brett Warren, this up-tempo single explains how life goes by all too fast, and while Bradley ‘won’t be young forever,’ he will ‘be forever young.’ The single is now available on iTunes and other major digital retailers.

 

Bradley comments about the song, “Life on earth is short, so it is up to us to determine how we spend our time here.  I have my entire life in front of me to reach for my dreams, while probably making some mistakes along the way. Life is all about the JOURNEY!”

 

The new single follows Bradley’s debut single release, “Somethin’ Like Somethin,’” which garnered Dakota his first Top 50 on Billboard. Bradley has been in the studio working on his forthcoming album, which is co-produced by Grammy award-winning producer Byron Gallimore and Country music superstar Tim McGraw.

 

“Dakota is the real deal,” said McGraw. “He is a great young artist who defies the trends and lives for his music. His voice is unique and instantly recognizable, and his ability to convey pure emotion in his music draws the listener in from the very first word of every song.”

 

More Info on Dakota Bradley:

The country newcomer kicked off his career when he received attention after posting several performances on YouTube. The video he posted lead to a performance of the song “The Girl Is Mine” on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Buzz about Dakota led to working with some of Nashville’s finest producers and writers, including Byron Gallimore, who eventually signed the young talent to his label, Streamsound Records.  The St. Louis native currently lives in Nashville and has been visiting radio stations on a national radio tour and playing shows throughout the United States.

ABOUT THE DICKSON COUNTY CRAIG MORGAN FOUNDATION: The idea for The Dickson County Craig Morgan Foundation was born while Craig Morgan was serving as an Assistant Sheriff’s Deputy in Dickson, TN and named for his wife Karen’s father. The organization, a component fund of the 501c3 Craig Morgan Dickson County Educational Foundation, will support foster children in Dickson County and throughout Middle Tennessee. Craig’s continuing charitable mission is to eventually build and maintain a home in Dickson County Tennessee for temporarily displaced children in Tennessee’s 23rd District (5 counties) and to provide lasting funding for the home. His long-term goal is to start additional Billy’s Place homes around the country. The annual Craig Morgan Charity Weekend has raised $250,000 the last four years in support of The Dickson County Craig Morgan Foundation and other children’s welfare organizations.
