About HARDY: 
With every new release, Big Loud Records’ HARDY puts his signature loud-and-rowdy stamp on modern Country music as both an artist and a songwriter. Following the release of HIXTAPE VOL. 1 – 17 all-star collaborations on 10 tracks, including current single “One Beer” featuring Lauren Alaina and Devin Dawson – the unprecedented compilation album was praised as “one of the most ambitious projects of the year” (Billboard). The countrified mixtape follows career-launching EPs THIS OLE BOY and WHERE TO FIND ME, and earned HARDY acclaim as a Vevo DSCVR artist, a MusicRow 2020 Next Big Thing artist, and “One To Watch” by CMT, Rolling Stone, Amazon, Pandora and more.

About Trea Landon:
Some people sing country music and some people live it. Trea Landon does both. Born in Daisy, GA, the 26-year-old Warner Music Nashville recording artist was raised with a fishing pole in one hand and the keys to the pickup in the other. Equally at home on a four-wheeler as he is on a stage, this country boy translates his real-life experiences into music drenched with authenticity – telling tales of love, heartbreak, dirt roads and good times in a way that lets you know he’s lived all of it. With a lilting voice that lends itself to both stadium ready rockers and acoustic-backed love songs, Landon effortlessly combines a traditional tone with a modern edge. Citing fellow Georgia-natives The Peach Pickers as one of his major influences, Landon followed in their footsteps to Nashville in 2015 and landed a publishing deal within four weeks of his arrival. A major label deal with Warner Music Nashville followed just two years later, and he has since released his Dirt Road Dancin’ EP.Having already toured with the likes of Luke Combs, Riley Green and Craig Campbell, Landon will join labelmate Cole Swindell’s Down To Earth Tour in March.

STYX Brings 2020 World Tour To Historic Ryman Auditorium This Spring

By on March 1, 2020 in In The Press, Press Releases
Photo credit: Jason Powell

STYX,the first band in rock history to land four consecutive certified multi-million selling albums in a row, has announced its highly anticipated return to Nashville‘s historic Ryman Auditorium on Saturday, May 23.The concert stop in Music City is part of the group’s 2020 World Tour.

Tickets for An Evening with STYX go on sale this Friday, February 28 at 10 a.m. / CT and will be available for purchase at Ticketmaster.com, STYXWorld.com and the Ryman Auditorium box office.

The six men comprising STYX have committed to “Rockin’ the Paradise” together with audiences far and wide by entering their second decade of averaging over 100 shows a year. Each band member is determined to make the next show better than the last.

“Standing on the wood floor of the Ryman, especially center stage, it’s impossible to resist thinking about all the legendary artists and important music that’s been performed there over the years,” says STYX frontman and guitarist Tommy Shaw. “It’s an honor to return and offer up another night of STYX music as we rock those historic walls, halls, pews and windows. Come join us!”

About STYX
STYXdraws from over four decades of barn-burning chart hits, joyous singalongs, and hard-driving deep cuts. Like a symphony that builds to a satisfying crescendo, a STYXset covers a wide range of stylistic cornerstones. From the progressively sweeping splendor that is “The Grand Illusion” to the hunker-down fortitude of all that is the “Blue Collar Man,” from the majestic spiritual love for a special “Lady” to the poignant rumination on the fleeting nature of fame in “Miss America,” from an individual yearning for true connection as a “Man in the Wilderness” to a soul-deep quest to achieve what’s at the heart of one’s personal vision in “Crystal Ball,” from the regal reach-for-the-stars bravado of “Come Sail Away” to the grainy all-in gallop of that rugged “Renegade” who had it made, STYXdraws on an unlimited cache of ways to immerse one’s mind and body in their signature sound.

After 14 years, STYX’s sonically sweet 16th studio album and its most ambitious, most challenging, and most rewarding album to date, THE MISSION, was finally released June 16, 2017 on the band’s label, Alpha Dog 2T/UMe. The highly anticipated two-disc reissue of THE MISSION was released on July 27, 2018 via Alpha Dog 2T/UMe, which includes a CD of the original album, as well as a Blu-ray of THE MISSION mixed in 5.1 Surround Sound accompanied by stunning visualizations for each of the album’s 14 songs based on the album artwork. THE MISSION originally debuted on various Billboard charts, including: #6 Top Rock Albums, #11 Physical Albums, #11 Vinyl Albums, #13 Current Albums, #14 Billboard Top Albums, #16 Retail, #17 Mass Merch/Non-Traditional, #29 Digital Albums, and #45 Billboard 200 (includes catalog and streaming).

Tommy Shaw, James “JY” Young, Lawrence Gowan, Todd Sucherman and Ricky Phillips (along with the occasional surprise appearance by original bassist Chuck Panozzo), have performed more live since ’99 than all of the previous years of its career combined. Two Super Bowl appearances, Pollstar Box Office chart-topping tours with Def Leppard, Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Bad Company (to name only a few), two more studio albums and no end in sight, STYX continues to conquer the planet, one venue at a time.

We’re going to reach a whole new level of fun and fan engagement during the 2020 season.”  

In its first year as the official spiced rum of MLS, Captain Morgan made it clear that it was here for the fans and had one goal in mind: more fun for fans. In addition to on-the-ground activations, social and TV content, the spiced rum brand gave out free tickets to fellow ‘Morgans’ over the age of 21 to matches like the 2019 All-Star Game and 2019 MLS Cup just for being named Morgan.

WATCH: Hot Country Knights Premiere “Pick Her Up” Music Video

By on January 25, 2020 in In The Press, Press Releases

HOT COUNTRY KNIGHTS REVIVE THE ’90s WITH MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERE OF DEBUT SINGLE “PICK HER UP” FEAT. TRAVIS TRITT

The Knights’ First-Ever Major Label Production Stars Iconic Actress Tiffani Thiessen 

Access Hollywood Exclusively Takes Fans Behind the Scenes in New Video Clip

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Jan. 24, 2020 – After sharing their plan to take Country music back to its ’90s glory days, the Hot Country Knights are releasing the first official music video for the debut single, “Pick Her Up” feat. Travis Tritt.  Directed by Wes Edwards, the Knights transform an average joe to win over his love interest, played by one of the decade’s most iconic heartthrobs Tiffani Thiessen. Produced and written by multi-Platinum entertainer Dierks Bentley along with co-writers Jim Beavers and Brett Beavers, “Pick Her Up” is a classic barnstormer that features rollicking guitar solos with lead singer Doug Douglason and Tritt trading vocals. Now available at all digital retailers, “Pick Her Up” will impact country radio on Feb 3 and fans can watch the full music video HERE.

“Travis Tritt is our longtime spirit animal and we have spent many a long night in the back of the van dreaming of working with or maybe even FOR Tiffani,” explained band leader Doug Douglason. “When UMG finally came around and signed us…they were two of our demands for the music video.”

Access Hollywood exclusively shares some of the behind-the-scenes antics during the making of “Pick Her Up” with the Knights, Tritt and Thiessen HERE.

Within 24 hours of the release of “Pick Her Up” critics are already latching onto the Hot Country Knights “rollicking throwback debut single” (Billboard) as it embodies the bounding rhythms and bright, organic euphoria of live Country music.

“Dispense some advice on how to make a winning first impression in their new song… with their trademark tongue-in-cheek humor.” – Rolling Stone

“The Hot Country Knights promised a ’90s sound and they delivered.” – Taste of Country

“It only took them 30 years (you can’t rush greatness), but the Hot Country Knights have officially made their highly-anticipated, long-awaited, often imitated, never duplicated, Country music debut.” – Whiskey Riff

Some said this moment would never happen. But despite 30 wasted years and countless bad decisions, the ’90s influenced band Hot Country Knights has finally come riding in with the release of their debut single after never giving up on the dream of the ’90s. The Hot Country Knights are comprised of band leader Douglas (“Doug”) Douglason, lead bass player Trevor Travis, lead guitarist Marty Ray (“Rayro”) Roburn, keytar/fiddle player Terotej (“Terry”) Dvoraczekynski, steel guitarist Barry Van Ricky and percussionist Monte Montgomery. With tongue firmly in cheek, the Hot Country Knights revive a comedic element which has long been integral to the Country genre, but has rarely been seen since the days of Grand Ole Opry stars like String Bean Akeman, Minnie Pearl and others. As dedicated road warriors, they’ve basically lived out of a van their entire existence. For more information on the Hot Country Knights visit www.hotcountryknights.com.
