Nashville Ballet To Present Attitude: A Two-Part Virtual Series Featuring Smash-Hit Under The Lights, With Music By Johnny Cash

By on January 19, 2021 in In The Press, Press Releases

NASHVILLE, TENN. (Jan. 19, 2021) – Following the success of the televised premiere of Nashville’s Nutcracker, Nashville Ballet presents its next installment of virtual content with Attitude, a two-part series set to release digitally March 5 through 7 and April 2 through 4. Due to the evolving situation surrounding COVID-19, this will replace the previously scheduled performances of Attitude: New Works by Women. Featuring three unique works in a two-part virtual series, Attitude Part I and Part II will focus on presenting audience favorites that highlight the wealth of artistry native to Nashville. 

Premiering March 5 through 7, 2021, Attitude Part I will feature two fan-favorite works: the smash-hit Johnny Cash ballet, Under the Lights, and Jennifer Archibald’s Superstitions. Originally choreographed in 2014 by former Nashville Ballet Company Dancer and Resident Choreographer Christopher Stuart, Under the Lights gives viewers a unique glimpse into the life and legacy of the infamous “Man in Black”. A uniquely Nashville collaboration, the ballet is set to iconic Cash tunes such as “Folsom,” “I Walk the Line,” and “God’s Gonna Cut You Down,” recorded by Nashville-based duo Sugar + The Hi-Lows with their signature rockabilly twist. 

“Daring and romantic, Under the Lights celebrates the musical legacy of Cash and his beloved June Carter Cash, while honoring one of music’s great love stories,” wrote Amy Stumpfl for The Tennessean.

Joining this crowd favorite is Superstitions, choreographed by award-winning and highly sought-after choreographer Jennifer Archibald. Known for her unique style of movement that blends the precision and technicality of classical ballet with contemporary dance styles like hip-hop, Archibald’s work challenges the viewer’s perception of ballet. This innovative piece is accompanied by an original score from local musician Cristina Spinei. 

Concluding the series April 2 through 4, 2021, Attitude Part II will feature Seasons, choreographed by Artistic Director Paul Vasterling and set to the timeless music of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons recomposed by Max Richter. Embodying elegance, this beloved ballet offers a fresh and uplifting view on the elements of classical ballet.

“Amidst these challenging times, we’ve been honored to continue to make Nashville Ballet performances and programming available to the community in new and innovative ways,” said Nashville Ballet Artistic Director Paul Vasterling. “Much like the unique arts and culture scene of Nashville, Attitude offers a little something for everyone and is rooted in local talent. While experiencing these fresh and popular pieces, we hope that patrons will be reminded of what makes our community so distinctively creative.” 

Under continued consultation with a team of trusted medical advisors, close collaboration with the Metro Nashville Public Health Department, and in accordance with guidelines from the CDC and Tennessee Department of Health, Nashville Ballet has instituted numerous policies to ensure that rehearsals and filming for Attitude Part I and Part II are completed in the safest way possible.  These include weekly COVID-19 tests, daily temperature and symptom checks, a mandatory mask requirement at all times while in the facility, daily rapid tests for dancers actively filming without a mask, enhanced filtration measures to upgrade the existing HVAC system, social distancing, cleanings, hand sanitizing, and more. Nashville Ballet has also instituted assigned pods during all rehearsals.

Tickets for Attitude Part I and Attitude Part II are available now and can be purchased here. Please note, you must purchase tickets for both performances to receive both links.

Chris Young And Kane Brown’s “Famous Friends” Most-Added At Country Radio This Week

By on January 6, 2021 in In The Press, Press Releases

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Multi-Platinum performer Chris Young and RCA Nashville labelmate and global entertainer Kane Brown are starting off the new year with the most-added single at country radio as “Famous Friends” tallies a total 53 combined Billboard and Country Aircheck/Mediabase stations. “Famous Friends” released on November 20 and officially impacted yesterday, already posting at #36 on Billboard and #45 on Country Aircheck/Mediabase. The pair talked about their collaboration on “ The Quad with Chris Young” podcast last year. Stream/download “Famous Friends” here.

Critics are sharing early praise for Young and Brown’s “Famous Friends”:

“The earworm of the fall and winter is undoubtedly No. 1-bound as these two ‘famous friends’ complement each other perfectly.”- Billboard

“With a solid friendship and history of great teamwork, it’s no surprise the country crooners joined forces once again for their all-new single.” – People

“Every song that Chris Young writes and sings has a connection to him in some way, but with this new one, it seems the connection is a little deeper…” – The Country Daily

“Chris Young and Kane Brown sent some shout-outs back home with the feel-good ‘Famous Friends.’” – ET Online

“The ‘famous friends’ of the title are people you’ve never heard of who live in Rutherford County (Chris), Hamilton County, GA (Kane) and Davidson County (both). The bopping track and the two stars’ jaunty vocals celebrate these everyday heroes. Hit bound.” – Music Row

Written by Chris with Cary Barlowe and Corey Crowder from a headline tour stop in Tampa in 2018, the track was teased by Chris and Kane on social media last year. The autobiographical song mentions Rutherford County, where Chris grew up in Tennessee, and Kane’s hometown of Hamilton County along with Nashville’s Davidson County – a.k.a. Music City.

An anthemic tribute to the names, faces, and legendary stories that make up each hometown, “Famous Friends” is Chris and Kane’s first collaboration since working together on Kane’s 2017 song “Setting the Night On Fire.” Additionally, the song reunites the former tour mates from Chris’ 2018 Losing Sleep Headlining Tour — which included a sold-out hometown show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena — and is a full-circle moment since Kane’s first live concert experience as a young Country fan was a Brad Paisley and Chris Young tour stop.

ABOUT CHRIS YOUNG: Multi-platinum RCA Records Nashville entertainer Chris Young has accumulated an impressive list of accomplishments, including membership in the iconic Grand Ole Opry, nearly 4 Billion on-demand streams, 13 Million singles sold, 11 career No. 1 singles, 21 R.I.A.A. Gold/Platinum/Multi-Platinum certified projects, 2 Grammy nominations,  3 Country Music Association nominations and 4 Academy of Country Music nominations along with a win for Performance of the Year at 2020’s CMT Music Awards. Chris’ brand-new single, “Famous Friends,” featuring Kane Brown, is available to stream/download now and impacts country radio at the start of the new year.

As a prolific creator, Chris has given fans 7 studio albums in 15 years including Losing Sleep, his third project in less than two years. The title track is certified Platinum while “Hangin’ On” is his ninth No. 1 as a songwriter. Losing Sleep  (2017) and I’m Comin’ Over (2015) debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart with “I’m Comin’ Over” becoming Young’s first 2x Platinum single. These accomplishments and more landed him in the Top 20 of Billboard’s top country artists of the decade.

Named “one of his era’s finest traditionalists” by the Associated Press, Chris has quickly become an international ambassador for country music, performing to capacity crowds around the world including the sold-out C2C Festival in the UK. With a hit-packed set that highlights his eleven chart-toppers — including back-to-back No. 1s “Losing Sleep,” “Sober Saturday Night,” “Think Of You,” and “I’m Comin’ Over” — the Grammy and ACM nominated vocalist headlined the Raised On Country World Tour, playing to over 400,000 fans in 3 countries in 2019.

ABOUT KANE BROWN: Cited as “the future of country” (Billboard) and one of “31 People Changing the South” (Time),  “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” Kane Brown continues to break records and defy boundaries.  Brown kicked off 2020 by headlining the 20-year anniversary celebration show at Staples Center in Los Angeles, becoming only the 11th country artist to sell-out a show in the world-renowned venue’s history. In November 2020, he performed at AT&T Stadium during the nationally televised halftime of the Dallas Cowboys game on FOX against the Washington Football Team on Thanksgiving Day, kicking off the Salvation Army’s holiday Red Kettle Campaign. Brown first entered the scene with his self-titled 2X platinum debut album, which spent 13 weeks at No. 1, and made Brown the first artist to top all five of Billboard ’s main country charts simultaneously, ever. His 6X Platinum hits “Heaven” and “What Ifs” are respectively the third- and sixth-most-streamed country songs of all time (U.S. Nielsen Country On-Demand Streams chart) and he is one of only four artists, including Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan and Florida Georgia Line, with multiple six-time (or more) platinum country songs certified by the RIAA. Brown’s follow up album, Experiment, debuted #1 on the Billboard 200 all genre chart. Most recently, the four-time AMA winner achieved the best country EP debut of 2020 with Mixtape Vol. 1 . The EP includes Brown’s current country solo single, “Worship You,” as well as the critically-acclaimed “Worldwide Beautiful” as well as his country hit “Cool Again” and Top 40 smash “Be Like That” with Swae Lee and Khalid.

Mitchell Tenpenny Shares Christmas EP, “Neon Christmas”

By on October 24, 2020 in In The Press, Press Releases
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – To ring in the holiday season, Riser House/Columbia Nashville artist Mitchell Tenpenny shared his Christmas-themed EP, Neon Christmas today. The seven-track project, produced by Lindsay Rimes and Jordan Schmidt, includes three original songs, “Snow Angels,” “Naughty List,” and the EP’s title track, which Tenpenny wrote with Rimes and Matt Rogers. Filling out the holiday set are the four Christmas classics “Joy To The World,” “Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!,” “O Holy Night,” and Tenpenny’s personal favorite, “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.” Listen here.
“That’s always been one of my favorite songs,” Tenpenny says of “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.” “It just makes me feel like sitting in front of a fire or watching an old Christmas movie at my family’s house. I knew I could take and make that song more of my own too, which can be hard with Christmas songs.”
Recently, Tenpenny has spread holiday season cheer in other ways – on October 10, he hosted a live streaming concert and two sold-out, in-person shows at Nashville’s Listening Room to raise money for his 10Penny Fund. The events raised $23,895.47 including a $10,000 match from Sarah Cannon, the Cancer Institute of HCA Healthcare, his partner in the 10Penny Fund, and a $2,000 donation from Sony Music Nashville labelmate/friend Chris Young

About Mitchell Tenpenny
Since he released his debut single, “Drunk Me,” in early 2018, Riser House/Columbia Nashville artist Mitchell Tenpenny has set new standards for breakout success in country music. The 2X Platinum-certified, No. 1 hit was taken from his introductory album, Telling All My Secrets, which arrived in December 2018 and earned him the best first week showing for any major label country debut LP of that year. To date, “Drunk Me” has amassed over 395 million on-demand streams. In February 2019, the “winning” singer (the New York Times) was nominated for New Male Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards and Breakthrough Video (“Drunk Me”) at the CMT Music Awards.

Later that year, he kicked off his first headlining concert series, the “Anything She Says Tour,” with labelmates and award-winning duo Seaforth joining as support. Seaforth is also featured on the gold-selling song, “Anything She Says.” In the past few months, the singer-songwriter released two fan favorites: “Can’t Go To Church” and “Here.” With his latest offering, “Broken Up,” Tenpenny revisits one of his signature themes: breaking up. But this time, with his swooning tenor over a propulsive beat, he looks inward, taking ownership of his feelings to craft one of his most personal releases to date.
