Rushmore to the Golden Gate Bridge.
The song, which was produced by Matt McClure, who won CMA Song of the Year in 2013 for Lee Brice’s “I Drive Your Truck,” is gaining a lot of attention from country radio between the coasts already spinning in over twenty markets including: Albany, Jacksonville, Orlando, Abilene and many more. “When I first heard 'Winnebago' I loved the way it made me feel. It’s fun and it feels like freedom -- like hitting the open road with tunes turned up without a care in the world. It's that feeling of the ultimate road trip with your favorite humans across our beautiful country. It's that story behind the song I just wanna go live,” said Quayle who grew up in Bozeman, Montana.  Courtesy: Conqueroo AUSTIN, Texas (Press Release)— James McMurtry’s forthcoming full-band Westbound and Down summer tour launches at Duling Hall in Jackson, Miss. on June 14 and routes throughout the region before concluding at Big Sky PBR Rodeo in Big Sky, Mont. on July 28. Major markets on this run include shows at legendary listening rooms 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville, Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, Ga., and the Vanguard in Tulsa, Okla. “We’re looking forward to playing some rooms we haven’t seen in a while,” says McMurtry, who’s been touring abroad recently. “I sure missed the States.”
The famously political songwriter has been keeping a close eye on the troubled Trump administration since returning home. “A few years back, I put out a song called ‘Cheney’s Toy,’” McMurtry says. “It was often misinterpreted due to a reference to an unknown soldier. People thought I was calling the soldier ‘Cheney’s Toy’ when I actually was referring to then-President George W. Bush. It seemed to me that Cheney was the puppeteer in that administration, while Bush was the puppet, the toy. At shows during my current tour of the U.K. and Europe, people have called out for me to sing ‘Bannon’s Toy.’” Allen Ginsberg's 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' 2-CD Set Coming from Omnivore on June 23rd4/14/2017  LOS ANGELES, Calif.

"I remember being a kid at home on Saturday nights with my family listening to the Opry broadcast on the radio down in lower Alabama,” Chance shares. “Standing onstage with Home Free, the Oaks, and so many other country legends is absolutely a dream come true.

NASHVILLE, TN (April 14, 2017) - Country music’s ‘band of brothers,’ Parmalee returns with its highly anticipated new single, “Sunday Morning,” giving fans a taste of the band’s upcoming sophomore album.
Co-written by Parmalee lead singer Matt Thomas (alongside Grammy-nominated Ross Copperman and #1 songwriter Josh Osborne), “Sunday Morning” marks a fresh, modern melody intertwined with Parmalee’s signature hard-living Country sound. The mature party anthem describes a Saturday night out “chasing minutes in the back of [a] cab” while thinking about a loved one that grounds them when the world spirals out of control. “The song is about getting back to that one person who makes you feel easy. . .the one that brings the crazy down a notch. It’s kinda like waking up on a calm Sunday morning,” explains Matt Thomas.  (Press Release) Undoubtedly leaving crowds with lasting impressions, Kayla Calabrese’s confident breathy vocals will leave fans empowered and confident to conquer life’s many challenges with her new summer single, Me Time.
This robust tune follows Calabrese’s previous Music Row charting singles — Give (#47) and Happily Never After (#43) — and kicks off a powerful next chapter in her growing story. Written by hit writers Steve Dorff (Dolly Parton, Clay Walker, Kenny Rogers, Tanya Tucker, etc) and Frank Myers (Chris Young, Lonestar, John Michael Montgomery, Crystal Gayle, etc), Me Time was produced by the renowned Jimmy Nichols. The official lyric video is already released and can be seen on her website. With an imposingly deep and full voice, by nature, this song attracts listeners through its honest and raw lyrics. “It’s an up-beat anthem for anyone who’s ever needed some time away from the grind of daily life,” says Calabrese. “I believe that sometimes as an artist, we tend to put so many unneeded pressures on us to finish a song or a chorus - and in a timeframe. Relaxing and stepping away from it all can clear my head and I can just breathe and think. In doing so, I process my work better and am inspired on a very random and regular care-free day.” Follow Kayla Calabrese: Website: www.kaylacalabrese.com Facebook: www.Facebook.com/kaylacalabresemusic Twitter: @kaylacalabrese Instagram: @kaylacmusic  Country Music artist Jarrod Birmingham has lived up to his promise to “make new music as long as people keep listening”.

Courtesy: Conqueroo AUSTIN, Texas (Press Release)— Rising stars of the growing “retro-soul” movement, Charlie Faye & the Fayettes are often described as a “modern-day ’60s girl group” reminiscent of the Ronettes or Supremes. Their debut album rose to #20 on the Americana radio chart and garnered high praise from the press. The trio’s original songs, Motown-worthy dance moves, and tight backing band make their live shows an exciting and unforgettable experience.
It’s the songs — classic sounding, with catchy melodies and intelligent lyrics — that set Charlie Faye & the Fayettes apart from the rest. “Musically, the group hearkens to Motown, Spector or the Brill Building,” says The Huffington Post. “Charlie is emerging as a budding Carole King, and the songs are good enough to rate comparison to Goffin & King or Mann & Weil.” |
