Dreamlined Entertainment’s Farewell Angelina dropped by WSM’s Coffee, Country & Cody to chat up their “If It Ain’t With You” single, their self-titled EP, being named one of the 2017 Taste of Country RISERS and more.

Farewell Angelina was recently announced as the winner of the Taste of Country RISERS “Hot Seat” poll. Organizers revealed the band, named by Rolling Stone as one of the “10 New Country Artists You Need To Know,” won the coveted slot by over 20,000 votes.
The Dreamlined Entertainment group’s “If It Ain’t With You” single continues to hit radio playlists across the country.

About Farewell Angelina: Farewell Angelina is an all-female country group. Nicole Witt and Andrea Young teamed up with noted Nashville harmony singer and solo artist Lisa Torres in late 2014. Their clear writing chemistry, creative drive and incendiary performance soon caught the ears and eyes of producers Jen Ketner and Keith Stegall, and recording commenced in 2015. This year celebrated the release of their debut EP on Stegall’s Dreamlined Entertainment and appearances at the ACM All-Star Jam, CMA Music Fest, a 75-city radio tour and festival dates at Creek Fest and Trails West. In late summer 2016 they added ACM and Tony Award nominee Lauren Lucas, adding yet another lead vocalist and stellar guitarist to the mix.

Delta Rae Debuts “A Long And Happy Life” At Radio Today

Fueled with a passionate melodic delivery of honest lyrics, DELTA RAE debuts “A Long And Happy Life” today. The new single is available now and marks the six-piece Durham, NC-based band’s first release on Big Machine Label Group’s imprint The Valory Music Co.

Brothers Eric and Ian Hölljes penned the buoyant “A Long And Happy Life,” offering fans a soundtrack to jumpstart their summer with an earnest hope that the best seasons are still to come. The song name comes from a book of the same title written by Ian’s dear friend, the late Reynolds Price. Lyrics from three other literary works – William Styron’s Lie Down In Darkness, Pat Conroy’s The Prince of Tides and The Water Is Wide – are woven throughout as homage to the Southern storytelling they admire.

With roots firmly planted in the South, Liz Hopkins and Brittany Hölljes front the robust group with their sultry harmonies rounded out by Eric (vocals, piano) and Ian (vocals, guitar) as well as Mike McKee (drums) and Grant Emerson (bass). Delta Rae chose their moniker from a mythical story the Hölljes siblings’ mother crafted about a Southern girl of the same name who summons the Greek gods to earth. The band’s sound defies parameters – a little bit Americana and Gospel combined with equal parts Country, Rock and Bluegrass – being most influenced by their geographical location as they’ve traversed the globe and experienced life.

Since forming in 2009, Delta Rae has graced stages at esteemed festivals such as Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits and more with their larger-than-life live show. The band will headline several dates throughout their A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE SUMMER TOUR 2017, which kicks off in May. Tickets go on sale at DeltaRae.com beginning this Friday, March 17.
