Tenille Arts Returns To ABC’s The Bachelor To Perform

By on September 28, 2018 in In The Press

Tenille Arts had a dream come true early this year, when she performed an original song on her favorite ABC show The Bachelor. The appearance led to a deal with Reviver Records, and the top-rated show has invited her back for a second appearance to perform her current single “I Hate This.”

 

Rolling Stone named Tenille one of their “10 New Country Artists You Need To Know” this week, calling her “An edgy, Fearless-era Taylor Swift with crystalline vocals; ideal for hopeless romantics who are fire signs.” The feature went on to say: “‘I Hate This’ addresses the helplessness that comes with any broken relationship, with Arts’ voice drifting and lilting over a Dobro riff.”

 

“I’m so excited to be on The Bachelor again! It’s an honor to have the opportunity to perform my music for such a huge audience,” said Tenille. “And to be included in Rolling Stone’s ‘10 New Country Artists You Need To Know’ in the same week is absolutely amazing. It’s so cool to see The Bachelor and Rolling Stone supporting new artists!”

 

Adam Wheeler co-wrote “I Hate This” with Tenille, and he produced the track with Matt Rovey. Tenille has been busy visiting country radio stations from coast to coast and writing and recording for an upcoming album .

 

The 24-year-old behind all of this recent attention is quietly confident country music lover raised in the small prairie town of Weyburn, Saskatchewan. She picked up the guitar and penned her first song at the age of 13 and has been performing across the US and Canada ever since. She made the move to Nashville almost three years ago, and a songwriting session brought her to the attention of award-winning producer Matt Rovey (Craig Campbell, Dean Brody), songwriter/producer Adam Wheeler and Noble Vision head Hal Oven.

 

Tenille’s music has tallied over six million streams. Her debut EP peaked at #1 on the iTunes Canada Country Album Chart and #37 on the iTunes U.S. Country Album Chart. Her first full-length album, Rebel Child, reached #2 on the iTunes Canada Country Album Chart and #16 on the iTunes U.S Country Album Chart.

 

Her talent and tenacity have so moved noted music critic Tom Roland that he has penned two rare full-page features the Billboard Country Update. Music Row Magazine critic Robert K. Oermann called Tenille “Promising in the extreme.” Streaming giant Pandora named her one of their new artists to watch for 2017, saying, “with songwriting inspired by Don Henley and reminiscent of early Taylor Swift, and vocals the size of her native Canada, Arts’ future is bright.” Popular country website whiskeyriff.com labeled Tenille a “new country artist name you need to know immediately,” and PopCulture.com named her one of their “Country Artists to Watch in 2018.”

The Last Bandoleros Announce Weekly October Residency In Nashville

By on September 27, 2018 in In The Press

Warner Bros. / Warner Music Nashville recording artists and world-traveling entertainers The Last Bandoleros are back in town, and to celebrate their homecoming they’ve announced a residency at Layman Drug Company every Tuesday of October. Along with an irresistible offer of free tacos and beer, “Taco Tuesdays with The Last Bandoleros” will feature brand new music, special guests and more. Sponsors include Nada Tacos, Codigo Tequila and Topo Chico. Fans can RSVP at http://www.thelastbandoleros.com/.

 

“We’ve finally all settled at home here in Nashville after being on the road for the past two years,” said guitarist/vocalist Derek James. “We thought having a free weekly residency would be a great way for some of the local community who don’t yet know us to hear our music for the first time.”

 

“We also wanted to bring a taste of our culture to these shows,” added bassist/vocalist Diego Navaira. “So we thought… Bandos, tacos and tequila!”

 

The Last Bandoleros (James, Navaira, guitarist/vocalist Jerry Fuentes and percussion/vocalist Emilio Navaira) have spent much of the past few years on the road. Music icon Sting handpicked them to join his 57th and 9th World Tour before heading out on their own headlining dates across the country and abroad. Throughout that time they’ve steadily released new tracks and videos, including the brand new song “What Would You Be Doing?” Revealed just last month, the “poignant remembrance of an important artist” (Rolling Stone) is the Navaira brothers’ tribute to their late father. Watch the official music video HERE.

 

Designated one of seven bands Entertainment Weekly praised for leading the way in Music City and a 2016 People “Ones To Watch,” the gritty touring band will hit the road again later this year. November will take them to Germany for a string of dates overseas. The Last Bandoleros have earned acclaim across the globe for their Beatles-esque harmonies and muscular instrumentation. Outlets including The Orange County Register, The Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Houston Press and The St. Louis Post-Dispatch have praised their unique sound and strong stage presence in live performances, with The Tennessean applauding their “harmony-rich, high energy” and The Boston Globe declaring that they “came out on fire and just kept burning.”

Multi-platinum-selling country star Billy Currington’s new single “Bring It On Over” was the No. 1 most added song at country radio this week with 52 total first week stations. Written by Dallas Davidson, Rhett Akins, Ben Hayslip, and Jesse Frasure, the song is the first release since Currington’s hit album Summer Forever and serves as the lead single to his upcoming new album. Following his back-to-back, multi-week No. 1 hits “It Don’t Hurt Like It Used To” and “Do I Make You Wanna,” the upbeat tune showcases Currington’s “characteristic laid-back soul” (Rolling Stone).

 

The talented Georgia native has spent more than a decade in the spotlight proving he’s truly a man for all seasons. Currington has earned 12 No.1 singles to his name, including the double-platinum hits “People Are Crazy” and “Must Be Doin’ Somethin’ Right.” Possessing one of the smoothest and most distinct voices in any genre of music, Currington is equally skilled at delivering upbeat summertime anthems as well as exploring the complexities of life and love with a poignant ballad. His latest album Summer Forever debuted at No. 3 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.
