Average Joes’ recording artists, The LACS, have teamed with 18-month touring mates, Hard Target, to form a new band, Racket County, to be distributed by Average Joes Entertainment under The LACS’ newly formed Barn Burner Records imprint. Racket County’s debut album, “Welcome to Dodge City,” is the first release under the new distribution deal and is scheduled for August 5. The first single, “Sunday,” coming soon to iTunes.
“We’re excited about announcing our new label, Barn Burner Records, and coming together with our good buddies, Hard Target, to form Racket County,” said Clay Sharpe of The LACS. “We are rocking it on the road and our fans are lovin’ the new music. It just seemed natural to go into the studio and continue the fun.”
“AJE is not only excited but extremely honored to continue to be a part of The LACS’ success story. The launch of Barn Burner Records and the Racket County debut release is a fantastic start,” commented Doug Kaye, Senior Vice President Sales/Business Affairs, Average Joes Entertainment.
Leading the charge is the reggae-infused, feel-good single “Sunday,” giving fans a taste of the new collaboration. The outrageously fun video for “Sunday” will be released July 4. The album, “Welcome to Dodge City,” is filled with The LACS’ signature countryfied Hick-Hop sound and Hard Target’s Southern Rap stylings, and is the result of life on the road.
The success story behind The LACS has been six years in the making. Their sales, Billboard chart accomplishments, and social media numbers are impressive; two #3 Billboard Country albums; 250 Million audio streams, 100 Million YouTube video streams, sales of 500,000 Albums, and 1.2 Million digital tracks to date.
