CAITLYN SMITH AND OLD DOMINION PARTNER FOR POWERFUL “I CAN’T” MUSIC VIDEO
Set to Premiere Tomorrow, April 24, on CMT Hot 20
Video Supports the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA)
WATCH: “I Can’t” Official Music Video Trailer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Depicting the emotional and tumultuous journey of an independent venue owner facing closure, Caitlyn Smith and GRAMMY-nominated Old Dominion have partnered on the official music video for her powerful song, “I Can’t,” featuring the band. Premiering on CMT Hot 20, tomorrow, April 24, the video not only chronicles the desperate conditions many beloved live music venues have faced over the past year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but encourages viewers to support the National Independent Venue Association by visiting togetherwecan.caitlynsmith.com to donate to NIVA’s Emergency Relief Fund, an important cause for Smith.
“While this last year has been hard, it has hit these dreamers the hardest. They were the first ones to close and will be the last ones to re-open,” shares Smith about the state of live music venues amidst pandemic. “This video shows a future I hope we never see. It’s why we’re using this moment to support NIVA.”
Over the last few months, the singer/songwriter has been returning to the stages that inspired the fictitious “Cait’s Lounge” in the video, performing small shows for country radio programmers on her “I Can’t Tour…Tour.”
“As a storyteller, stepping back onto these stages after they’ve sat empty for over a year has me aching for what they’ll feel like again when live music finally is able to return safely,” Smith shares of the recent experiences at venues such as Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, Tenn.; Vinyl in Atlanta, Georgia; The Rustic in Houston, Texas; Knuckleheads in Kansas City, Missouri and many more.
Her current single feat. Old Dominion, is currently climbing the country radio charts approaching Top 40. Smith also recently released a brand-new EP, Supernova Acoustic, via Monument Records on March 26. The collection features four re-imagined tracks from her sophomore album Supernova, released last year, as well as the critically-acclaimed “Tacoma” from her debut Starfire.

Miranda Lambert Comes Roaring Back to Country Radio with New Single, “It All Comes Out in the Wash”
MIRANDA LAMBERT COMES ROARING BACK TO COUNTRY RADIO WITH NEW SINGLE, “IT ALL COMES OUT IN THE WASH”

“When we were little, our moms would say ‘let’s not worry about a stain.’ Everyone goes through times in life that are difficult and has moments that they wish would pass,” said Lambert, who co-wrote the track alongside The Love Junkies (Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna, Liz Rose). “This song is a mix of scenarios that we have all either been a part of or have seen, and is a fun reminder that hard times do eventually pass.”
Responding to deafening demand, Lambert surprised fans by also releasing “Locomotive,” which she describes as a “total country punk-rock” track written alongside Ashley Monroe and K.S. Rhodes. She debuted the “scorching” (Rolling Stone) song at CMA Fest in June.
“It All Comes Out in The Wash” and “Locomotive” are both available now on all streaming platforms and digital retailers.
Lambert will hit the road for the Roadside Bars & Pink Guitars Tour this fall, with special guests Maren Morris and Elle King, as well as Pistol Annies, Tenille Townes, Ashley McBryde and Caylee Hammack on various dates (details below). Tickets are on sale now.

Soulful Teen Sensation Bailey James Releases Emotional Tribute Song on Brother’s Birthday
SOULFUL TEEN SENSATION BAILEY JAMES RELEASES EMOTIONAL TRIBUTE SONG ON BROTHER’S BIRTHDAY
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – On what would have been his 21st birthday, Bailey James is dedicating her latest release, a fan favorite called The One, to older brother Zane Clemens Koehler. Since losing him in 2017, Bailey and her family have openly shared their story in an effort to raise awareness of teen suicide. With the release of the song, written by Bailey with Steve O’Brien, she brings the unimaginable to light and finds comfort in angels.
The One is available on Apple Music, Spotify and all digital retailers today, (Wednesday, July 17).
“Sometimes a song just happens like it was always there to begin with and you haven’t heard/sang it forever. The One is that song,” says Bailey. “It was written in 30 minutes. When you have that much raw pain that you have been holding inside and you finally open up, it is heartfelt, simple and straight to the point. Everyone at some time has lost or will lose someone that will forever change them. That was my brother, Zane, and this song will forever be his.”
Today, teenagers and younger kids are no stranger to suicide. Recognizing this, Bailey is a role model to these kids. With daily messages from fans on her social media accounts, she courageously uses her voice to speak of her own experiences. Even before her loss, The Jason Foundation (national organization that is dedicated to the prevention of youth suicide) admired Bailey’s ability to eloquently address the subject rather than treating it as taboo and made her their first National Youth Advocate to help raise awareness.

About Don McLean:
A New York native, Don McLean is one of the most revered and respected songwriters in American history. After paying his dues in the New York club scene in the late ‘60s, he went on to score mega-hits like “American Pie,” “Vincent (Starry, Starry Night),” “Castles in the Air” and many more. In 2004, McLean was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame by country superstar Garth Brooks. In 2000, “American Pie” was named one of the Top 5 Songs of the 20th Century by the RIAA and in 2002 was inducted into the GRAMMY Hall of Fame. In 2015, one of McLean’s four handwritten manuscripts of the lyrics to “American Pie” was auctioned by Christies, selling for just over $1.2 Million. 2017 brought a huge honor when his iconic song was inducted into the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry, joining less than 500 works including “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” With over 40 gold and platinum records worldwide, McLean’s prowess for writing timeless songs was again captured on his 2018 album, Botanical Gardens, as he artfully weaves country, Americana, folk, and boot stomping rock for an eclectic, yet American sound that he is known for.
