 Music For Mike Benefit Concert Set For War Memorial Auditorium On Sept. 25 

By on August 24, 2018 in In The Press

The 1990s flagship staff of Arista Nashville, affectionately known as “The Refugees,” are banding together with Sea Gayle Music on Sept. 25 to host Music for Mike, a concert in support of one of their own, Mike Owens, who needs a kidney transplant.

Tickets for the benefit concert are on sale now at WMArocks.com, by phone at 615-782-4030, and in person at the TPAC Box Office, 505 Deaderick St., in downtown Nashville.

The Music for Mike performers include recent Songwriter’s Hall of Fame inductee Alan Jackson, superstar duo Brooks & Dunn, and critically acclaimed entertainer Brad Paisley, along with BlackHawk, Diamond Rio, Lee Roy Parnell, Pam Tillis, Phil Vassar, and Steve Wariner.

In total, these artists have sold over 150 million albums and racked up 99 number 1 hits. Backing this stellar line-up is veteran touring band, Sixwire.

95.5 Nash Icon is partnering with Music for Mike, and morning show host Marty McFly will serve as M.C. Charlie Cook, Cumulus Vice President Country Format, acknowledges the artist line up as a perfect fit for the station but explains their reasons for supporting the show run much deeper.

“Every once in a while, Nashville can come together for not only a good cause but in this case one that means something to all of us personally,” Cook said. “95.5 Nash Icon is proud to play a role in helping Mike and his family.”

Owens is part of the inaugural Arista Nashville promotion team who launched the careers of superstar acts Alan Jackson and Brooks & Dunn, among others. Following his time at Arista, he joined Universal South as Vice President of Artist & Repertoire and most recently served as Vice President of Creative with Sea Gayle Music. In December of 2014, Owens was diagnosed with kidney failure and has since required daily dialysis treatments while awaiting a donor kidney. The side effects of Mike’s disease led to other medical issues, including the amputation of a portion of his right leg last year, leaving Mike unable to work with medical bills piling up.

Proceeds from the benefit will go directly to the Mike Owens Family Trust to help defray a portion of his medical expenses. To donate to Mike in other ways, visit Mike’s Go Fund Me page, and visit https://www.kidney.org/transplantation/livingdonors for more information on how to become a kidney donor.

Elijah Woods x Jamie Fine Are “Better Off” With New Single, Out Today

By on August 24, 2018 in In The Press

Courtesy of Big Machine Records

PLATINUM-certified Canadian breakout duo ELIJAH WOODS x JAMIE FINE are thrilled to reveal their second single “Better Off” (Big Machine Records), available now: https://ewxjf.lnk.to/BetterOffPR. The powerful new track comes hot on the heels of their chart-topping debut single “Ain’t Easy,” which has garnered over 16 million streams to date and was certified PLATINUM earlier this summer as it dominated airwaves nationwide. This Sunday (8/26), EWxJF will kick off an epic red carpet street party at the 2018 iHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards with their first exclusive live award show performance of “Ain’t Easy” and will also vie for Best New Canadian Artist.

EWxJF have been hard at work touring and recording new music since being named the season one/week two winners of CTV’s new hit series The Launch.  Last week, the duo performed at the iHeartRadio Music Summit in NYC, delivering a performance filled with integrity and candor that received a roaring standing ovation from the audience.

Comprised of instrumentalist/composer Elijah Woods, “churning out endlessly inventive hooks” (Ottawa Citizen), and lyricist/vocalist Jamie Fine, whose “vocal delivery bores the influence of artists from Alanis to Adele” (Ottawa Citizen), EWxJF is a delicate marriage of exploratory musical styles and masterful emotional play. Purposefully breaching the boundaries of rhythmic Pop music by embracing and balancing their penchant for stylized pop and Hip-Hop culture, EWxJF continuously create waves rather than ride them – striving to remain true to a vision that deviates from the mainstream, bringing full-sized moments and their kinetic energy to the forefront, one genre-defying hit at a time.

Ready to ascend to the next level of super stardom like fellow Canadian global stars Drake, The Weeknd, Shawn Mendes, Jessie Reyez and more – the duo continues to pull away from the pack as one of the most successful breakthrough musical acts of the year, as evidenced by the PLATINUM sales success of “Ain’t Easy”, which debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes All Genres chart and hit No. 1 on the Top 200 most Shazamed songs in Canada. The Top 5 hit at Pop and HOT AC Radio, was co-written and produced by Ryan Tedder (One Republic) and continues to grow in popularity amongst a worldwide audience. The track was recently serviced to radio in the U.S. and is already picking up adds.

Keith Urban Debuts Official Music Video For Latest Single “Never Comin Down”

By on August 24, 2018 in In The Press

Buy / Stream Link For Song: http://smarturl.it/NeverCominDown

Four-time GRAMMY ® Award winner Keith Urban debuts the brand-new music video for his latest single GRAFFITI U’s “Never Comin Down,” which follows his 24th #1 song “Coming Home.”  “Never Comin Down,” (Urban, Josh Kerr, James Abrahart, Shy Carter) says Urban, “captures the energy and spirit of being at a show – lost in the music, along with everyone else that’s there, whether you know them or not.  That’s the feeling that I wanted to capture in the video.”

The result produced a wildly creative narrative that intentionally accentuates inclusivity through dance.  Urban’s collaborator, director Carter Smith says, “In casting, we took the people that were happiest to be themselves – whatever that was.  We brought in voguers, break dancers, hip-hop dancers – line dancers – everybody’s dancing together for this one song, on this one night.”

 

The video opens with a nervous young man approaching a bar. As he makes his way inside, he’s slowly consumed by the feeling in the room, everyone dancing, expressing themselves in their own way, lost in the music.  By the end of the video, he’s not only out on the dance floor, but showing them all how to line dance.

 

Urban is currently in the midst of his 62-city “GRAFFITI U WORLD TOUR 2018” – with his guitar – and is scheduled to perform in Nashville at the Bridgestone Arena this Friday.

William Rast announced today the launch of its Fall 2018 men’s and women’s collection at several national retailers including Macy’s, Dillard’s, Belk, Lord & Taylor and Amazon, unveiling a print campaign featuring Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards New Male Vocalist of the Year Brett Young. Young will serve as the new Brand Ambassador alongside supermodel Stella Maxwell, whose face has graced the covers of magazines ranging from Vogue to Harper’s Bazaar. Shot by acclaimed fashion photographer Boo George and styled by Deborah Watson, the campaign embraces the collection’s Americana styled clothing.

Chosen as the fresh faces of the new American denim culture, Young and Maxwell bridge the worlds of high fashion and music for this campaign. Imagery shows Young fittingly embodies the modern interpretation of Americana biker culture and casual fit and form of the men’s line, while Maxwell walks the line between accessible tomboy and sensual woman that mirrors the inspiration for the women’s wear collection.

“William Rast is at the intersection of music and fashion. We knew that Brett Young and Stella Maxwell could capture that intersection beautifully and deliver incredible creative,” said Karen Castellano, Fashion Division President at Sequential Brands Group.

“I’m so excited to work with both William Rast and Stella for this campaign,” Young said. “This is the first time I’ve done anything like this, and it’s been an absolutely blast.”

The national advertising campaign featuring Young and Maxwell will launch in select traditional and digital media outlets and in select retail stores across the country.

Grounded in the iconography of biker culture, William Rast’s designs combine the origins of American denim with modern and sophisticated fits, premium fabrics, washes and techniques. The Fall 2018 campaign captures this essence in a relaxed, effortless, timeless way while clearly showcasing the new silhouettes, essential for the upcoming Fall season.

Delivering four consecutive PLATINUM-selling hits from his self-titled PLATINUM-certified album on BMLG Records, Young became one of Country music’s new class of hitmakers. The success of his songs has been amplified by an extraordinary response to Young’s music videos with “In Case You Didn’t Know” surpassing 197 million views and “Mercy” spending six consecutive weeks atop Vevo’s Top Country chart. Named as the only Country act on Billboard’s Top 10 New Artists, Young continues to impress the genre and beyond with nominations from the ACM, Billboard, Teen Choice, CMT and CMA Awards. Along with the industry successes, his relationship with fans found Young selling out every single stop on his debut headlining CALIVILLE TOUR and earning new followers on the road with Thomas Rhett’s LIFE CHANGES TOUR 2018. Young also recently announced his headlining CMT ON TOUR: HERE TONIGHT, launching November 16. For additional information, visit brettyoungmusic.com.

The William Rast brand was born in 2005 in Los Angeles, California, co-founded by Justin Timberlake and his life-long friend and business partner, Trace Ayala. William Rast is valued for delivering quality, fashion forward design and premium fit, and has become a staple for denim fans worldwide. Grounded in the iconography of American denim heritage and biker culture, yet re-packaged and presented in a contemporary context, William Rast channels the renewed confidence and vision of people all over the world today.

The Delta Rae Revival Is Coming… 

By on August 23, 2018 in In The Press
DELTA RAE embodies both the light and dark of Southern storytelling with their music … Dynamic interludes. Hushed tones. Bombastic drums. Angelic serenades. Primal vocals. Honing the eclectic style in front of an increasing congregation at headlining shows and coveted festival slots over the last decade, the band brings their 16-week residency to The Basement (1604 8th Ave S.) in Nashville this fall. The North Carolina-bred six-piece troupe had announced the initial round of openers: Austin Jenckes, Adam Wakefield, Baylor Wilson, Carolina Story, Carolina Glaser, Carrie Welling, Chloe Gilligan, Dallas Caroline, Emma Hern, Hannah Dasher, Jaden Michaels, Jillette Johnson, Josh Jenkins, Joel Levi, Kalie Shorr, Katie Cole, Kitty Hawk, Lainey Wilson, Lauren Jenkins, Levon, Liz Longley, Payton Smith, Sarahbeth Taite, Southern Avenue, The Last Bandoleros and The Redhill Valleys.

The Delta Rae Revival will offer a new immersive experience from the parking lot to the stage as audiences assemble every Wednesday from September 5 through December 19. Fans will have a three-dimensional experience rarely seen during musical live shows. On sale now at DeltaRae.com, tickets are $10 with a limited amount available online and the remainder sold first-come-first-serve at the door. Special guests and fresh songs are on tap each week and will be announced throughout the next months over the band’s social media.

“Since finding our home here in Nashville we’ve become friends with many artists we have long admired. We’re beyond excited and honored that this level of talent will share the stage with us every night for The Revival. Some of them are hidden gems, some are dominating the Music City scene, all are incredible, and we are thrilled to combine forces to create a musical experience unlike anything this town has ever seen. Country fans deserve a show like this, southern magic and music for the soul,” expresses Brittany Holljes.

Equally prominent in their commanding dual lead vocals, Brittany Holljes and Liz Hopkins alternate between two stylistic tones of warm love songs and swampy, mysterious tracks. Delta Rae is rounded out with Holljes’ brothers Eric (vocals, piano) and Ian (vocals, guitar) as well as Mike McKee (drums) and Grant Emerson (bass). Crafting their moniker from a mythical story their mother wrote, the siblings’ upbringing has been at the core of Delta Rae’s sound as artists, songwriters and social activists. Said the Nashville Scene, “Their vocal harmonies are powerful, their stage show is impassioned, and frankly they are the nicest bunch of folks out there…”

Creators through and through, Delta Rae literally builds out their vibe with hand-shaped visuals including their interactive set and soul-bearing sentiments, evident with the Eric-penned “No Peace In Quiet.” They released back-to-back EPs just last year alone – A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE and THE BLACKBIRD SESSIONS – on The Valory Music Co.

Sibling Duo Jesse & Noah Bellamy Reveal Album Artwork And Track Listing For NEON PIKE

By on August 21, 2018 in In The Press

Sibling duo Jesse & Noah, the sons of David Bellamy from the famed Bellamy Brothers, have revealed to fans the album artwork and track listing for their forthcoming album, Neon Pike, due to hit digital and streaming services on August 31, 2018.  The album is available for pre-order with two instant gratis tracks, “Gambler’s Heart” and “Chances,” available immediately upon ordering.  To pre-order visit HERE.

Grounded by the legacy passed down through generations of musicians in their family, Jesse & Noah, have come a long way since they left the Bellamy family ranch in Darby, Florida.  Over the years they’ve also shown a willingness to explore musically, to the point that maybe Country isn’t even the best description of what they’re doing these days. True, their musical roots show throughout their newest album, Neon Pike. But what grows from those roots’ spills across genre lines. Along with fiddles and steel guitars, it’s powered by thundering drums, shredding electric guitar and hefty doses of Americana, rock ’n’ roll and elements that are harder to categorize.

“The challenge for us has always been that we’re not traditional enough to fit with the traditional crowd or pop enough to be pop country,” says Jesse Bellamy.

Noah Bellamy interjects, “So for this album, Neon Pike, we really just focused on the instrumentation and creating solid music we are proud to share with our fans.”

Fans will have the chance to hear selections from the full album performed live on August 25 at Bowery Vault in Nashville, TN for the duo’s album pre-release party.  For up-to-date touring information visit, www.jesseandnoah.com.

NEON PIKE Track Listing:

1. Unconfined (Jesse Bellamy, Noah Bellamy)

2. Dreams For Days (Noah Bellamy)

3. Gambler’s Heart Feat. The Bellamy Brothers (Jesse Bellamy, Noah Bellamy)

4. Neon Pike, Part 1 (Jesse Bellamy, Noah Bellamy)

5. What’s To Be Done With Me? (Jesse Bellamy, Noah Bellamy)

6. Tell It To My Tears (Jesse Bellamy, Noah Bellamy)

7. I’ll Run Away (Noah Bellamy)

8. Samantha By Starlight (Jesse Bellamy, Noah Bellamy)

Morgan Evans Lands First U.S. #1 With Debut Single “Kiss Somebody”

With early believers – including Rolling Stone, Billboard, and CMT – touting him as one of Country’s artists to watch, MORGAN EVANS has lived up to the title with his debut U.S. single “Kiss Somebody” hitting the #1 spot on the Country Aircheck/Mediabase radio airplay chart this week. Setting the tone for a breakthrough global career ahead, the song is featured on his just-released self-titled EP.

“I played my very first show on the other side of the world and the idea of traveling to America, let alone having the #1 song in Country music, was the dream. And, this week it has come true!” shares Evans. “I can’t even begin to express how overwhelmed I am with gratitude. THANK YOU to the fans and everyone at country radio for all the love you’ve given back to this song.”

Written by Evans, Chris DeStefano and Josh Osborne, the song previously topped SiriusXM The Highway’s HOT 30 Countdown, while surpassing 52 million on-demand streams and claiming a place on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 list. Following the Australia native’s buzzed-about performance on ABC’s The Bachelorette, “Kiss Somebody” shot to #4 on iTunes’ Top Country Songs chart.

Sure to showcase his “undeniable positivity” (Billboard) on his forthcoming Warner Music Nashville / Warner Bros. Records full-length debut album, Evans co-penned every track for the anticipated release. Further proving his “strong songwriting chops” (Rolling Stone), Evans has written two songs in this week’s Top 10: “Kiss Somebody” and Dylan Scott’s hit single “Hooked.”

Following his successful headline run on the 10 IN 10 TOUR, Evans has taken the stage at major fairs and festivals all summer long. This week (8/22) he’s set to perform during the 12th annual ACM Honors at the iconic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN. Heading Down Under for a string of SOLD OUT headline shows in Australia beginning September 5, he’ll return to the U.S. and rejoin Chris Young as a special guest on the LOSING SLEEP 2018 WORLD TOUR kicking off September 13.

For more information and a full list of tour dates, visit MorganEvansMusic.com. Reach out to him on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

The track has surpassed 52 million on-demand streams after skyrocketing into Spotify’s Global Viral 50 chart. Forging a path as one of the genre’s up-and-coming stars, he has been named one to watch by CMT, SiriusXM, Pandora, Rolling Stone, Bobby Bones, The Tennessean and more. A bona fide Country force in Australia, he has garnered countless awards and honors, most recently claiming Country Work of the Year for “Kiss Somebody” at the 2018 APRA Music Awards. After sharing the bill with global superstar Taylor Swift, Country hit-maker Cole Swindell and more A-list acts, Evans is featured as a special guest on Chris Young’s LOSING SLEEP WORLD TOUR.
