 Courtesy: Big Picture Media August 17th, 2016 - Washington, DC - Americana-rock band, Melodime, will be kicking off the fall leg of their 2016 tour thisSunday, August 21st, with a special co-headline show at The Hamilton in Washington, DC alongside The Delta Saints. This hometown show will be the first date of a busy touring schedule that will include three dates supporting Ron Pope, one date supporting Corey Smith and 18 headline shows around the East Coast, Southeast and Midwest.
Tickets: http://www.melodime.com/tour. This latest string of dates comes in support of Melodime's new single, "Little Thing Called Love". Produced by Rick Beato (Parmalee,NeedToBreathe) at Black Dog Sound in Stone Mountain, GA, "Little Thing Called Love" has been lauded by both fans and critics alike. Tune Collective describes the track as a "fun song bursting with vibrant uplifting energy," while Kings of A&R featured the band as a buzzing act. In addition, Floyd Magazine says Melodime creates "a unique brand of Southern-flavored rock that celebrates the musical past while foreshadowing the sounds of the future."

The new single and video from American Trappist, “All Night Diner,” is from the new EP, Hannah Future Tense - the third and final part of a series that has been previewing the band's upcoming full-length, due September 2nd.
“The song is about my fiancé and the weeks leading up to our engagement,” frontman Joe Michelini tells Consequence of Sound. “It’s a vulnerable song- an honest look at our wounded, imperfect, tough-as-nails, immeasurable desire for one another. The shape is unpredictable at times and that’s scary. But there are others like us, scared and looking for the same sort of shelter. Stripping away our pride, accepting things we don’t fully understand, putting faith in the future anyway- that’s what it’s all about, huh? We don’t even know if we’re alone out here.” Watch the video for "All Night Diner" above.

The event is meant to honor those that stand the test of time in telling the stories that make the music industry so fascinating – the journalists, interviewers, reporters, show hosts and others who chronicle and share the stories of Music Row and its musicmakers. Inaugural honoree Smith has been a constant presence in country music as long as many can remember. After moving to Nashville in the late ’60s, the divorced mother of two would go on to be a songwriter, publicist, manager and journalist. Her ability to capture a moment was never more evident than when she coined the phrase “Outlaw Music” in the 1970s. Hazel would go on to tell many more of Music Row’s stories as a writer for Country Music magazine, contributor to Country Weekly, radio reporter, columnist for CMT.com, and weekly TV show host for the network.
