BRETT ELDREDGE RELEASES OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR CURRENT SINGLE “SONGS ABOUT YOU”

/in /by
Songs About You Tour Kicks Off in California Friday (7/22)

In case your memory needs a refresher, let this serve as a reminder: the mind-bending official music video for Brett Eldredge’s current single, “Songs About You,” is available everywhere now (WATCH HERE). Directed and produced by Running Bear Films, the visual draws direct inspiration from the 2x Academy Award winning film, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” from celebrated screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and visionary director Michel Gondry.

In addition, Eldredge’s headlining Songs About You Tour kicks off this Friday (7/22) in Saratoga, CA. The coast-to-coast trek will make several stops across North America before wrapping up in Michigan at the end of September. Eldredge will be joined by various special guests including labelmate BRELAND along with Nate Smith, Lauren Alaina, Shelby Darrall and Caylee Hammack. Tickets are on sale now at https://www.bretteldredge.com/tour.

The title track of his latest album, the acclaimed vocalist also recently shared a performance of “Songs About You” on Good Morning America (WATCH HERE) and delighted late-night TV viewers with a stunning performance of the LP’s emotional “Holy Water” on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (WATCH HERE). Eldredge “continues with his brand of smooth, easygoing grooves that highlight his endless vocal charisma” (Billboard) throughout the new album and is already seeing rave reviews. PEOPLE described it as “a necklace of twelve gems, each with its own sparkle, from the unbridled joy of the first track, ‘Can’t Keep Up,’ to the achingly sweet sadness of final track, ‘Where the Light Meets the Sea.’ Every single song was co-written by Eldredge — and both lyrics and melodies shine with masterful, evocative themes. Every single song also was crafted to fully exploit the potency of Eldredge’s singular voice.”

Billboard agreed, saying “Sonically, the album strips away anything that would distract from the project’s vocals and lyrics, which find Eldredge digging deeper into not only themes of love and heartbreak, but mental health.” In addition, CMT declared that “an album like Songs About You is way overdue, as the genre has been craving a raw collection that sparks the importance of mental health and addresses anxiety, love, unexpected heartbreak all in one. Eldredge proves he has an impressive way with words, as the lyrics of each melody tend to cut deep.”

The new music follows his seven country-radio No. 1’s, nine Gold and Platinum-certified singles, two Gold-certified albums, multiple CMA, ACM and CMT Music nominations and wins and most recently, his critically acclaimed fourth studio record, Sunday Drive.

BRANTLEY GILBERT & CARLY PEARCE TO HEADLINE GRAND OLE PRIX SHOW AT BIG MACHINE MUSIC CITY GRAND PRIX ON SUNDAY, AUG. 7

/in /by

MULTI-PLATINUM superstar Brantley Gilbert and Opry member Carly Pearce will headline the special Grand Ole Prix show set for Sunday, Aug. 7, at the Nissan Stadium campus as part of the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix.

Fellow Big Machine Label Group artists Midland and Callista Clark will join Gilbert and Pearce during the special version of the esteemed show. Held outdoors in downtown Nashville as part of a second consecutive year merging racing and music, the live 90-minute show will begin at 5:45 p.m. CT on the ZYN Main Stage. The Grand Ole Prix follows the conclusion of the Big Machine Music City Grand Prix NTT INDYCAR SERIES race and culminates the Aug. 5-7 festivities in the heart of Music City.

Gilbert, who was previously named ACM New Male Vocalist of the Year (2012) and Top New Male Artist (2013), is a MULTI-PLATINUM-selling Georgia native with a grassroots following millions strong. Seven No. 1 hits punctuate his career: “Country Must be Country Wide,” “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do,” CMA Awards Song of the Year nominee “Dirt Road Anthem,” “My Kinda Party,” RIAA 5X PLATINUM-certified “Bottoms Up,” “One Hell of an Amen” and the collaboration with Lindsay Ell, “What Happens In A Small Town,” plus his landmark record JUST AS I AM clinched the 2014 American Music Award for Favorite Country Album. Following his “Rolex ® On A Redneck” collaboration with Jason Aldean, Gilbert partnered with Jelly Roll for their new song “Son Of The Dirty South.”

Reigning ACM/CMA Female Artist/Vocalist of the Year Pearce has enjoyed a recent wave of significant accolades as her “Never Wanted To Be That Girl” duet with Ashley McBryde became her second consecutive ACM Awards Music Event of the Year win and 29: Written in Stone was nominated for Album of the Year. The song also marked Pearce’s third No. 1 hit and they became only the third duet between two solo women to top Country Airplay since the Billboard chart’s 1990 inception. The Grand Ole Opry member will headline her first shows at the Ryman Auditorium on Oct. 26-27 after a summer touring with Kenny Chesney.

Rooted in tradition in both sound and style, Midland has grown from a bar band to an in-demand headliner selling out headline tours from coast to coast as well as supporting some of Country music’s biggest stars like George Strait, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw and Little Big Town.

Lead vocalist Mark Wystrach fronts their rich sound rounded out with lead guitarist/vocalist Jess Carson and bass player/vocalist Cameron Duddy. Following their critically-acclaimed GOLD-certified debut album ON THE ROCKS, The Washington Post declared “the year’s best Country album” and earning the pinnacle spot on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with LET IT ROLL, Midland brings listeners a resurgence of their thick harmonies, sad melodies, tart lyrics and steel guitar on THE LAST RESORT: GREETINGS FROM.

The 2018 ACM AwardsNew Vocal Group of the Year and GRAMMY®-nominated act offers an intentional nod to Country music reminiscent of the 1970s and ‘80s that has been evident since their 2X PLATINUM-certified No. 1 “Drinkin’ Problem” and is reflected on their latest single, “Longneck Way To Go” featuring Jon Pardi.

Named to Billboard’s annual “21 Under 21” list for two consecutive years and CMT’s 2022 class of Next Women of Country, 18-year-old Clark has a lot to say, wielding her creative gifts as both a defense and an instrument of peace as she puts her heart on display. With Real To Me producing the Top 20 “It’s ‘Cause I Am,” she became Country radio’s most successful new artist debut of 2021. Her latest single, “Gave It Back Broken,” is featured on her forthcoming debut album REAL TO ME: THE WAY I FEEL, arriving Oct. 14.

DOLLY PARTON JOINS BILL ANDERSON FOR “SOMEDAY IT’LL ALL MAKE SENSE” VIDEO

/in /by

Country Music Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame members Whisperin’ Bill Anderson and Dolly Parton make their music video debut together with video for emotional “Someday It’ll All Make Sense.” ABC’s ‘Good Morning America‘ premiered the cinematic video online.

“Working with my ol’ buddy Bill Anderson was the most meaningful fun I’ve had in years,” shared Dolly. “I love the song we sang, I love how we sounded together on it and getting to do a video with him was just icing on the cake. I hope the fans enjoy it as much as we enjoyed being together on it.”

The song’s poignant lyrics are brought to life under the masterful direction of Trey Fanjoy(Taylor Swift, Steven Tyler, Paul McCartney, Keith Urban, Reba McEntire, George Strait, Loretta Lynn, Jack White), as the video shows the two country music icons journey down the road to hope. “Someday It’ll All Make Sense” was co-written by Anderson with Bobby Tomberlin and Ryan Larkins and is on Anderson’s most recent release, As Far As I Can See: The Best Of, released June 10 by MCA Records. To stream or download, click HERE.

“Hopefully, our song can help bring a bit of levity to a world that seems upside down and sideways so much of the time these days. If it can, music will have once again proven itself to be the optimal healer,” said Anderson.
As Far As I Can See: The Best Of is a collection of 16 songs and shares its name with the current exhibition at the Country Music Hall of Fame, Bill Anderson: As Far As I Can See. The name comes from the opening line of one of the first songs he ever wrote, “City Lights,” the country classic that was a hit for Ray Price in 1958. In addition to such beloved songs as “City Lights,” “Still,” Po’ Folks,” The Tip Of My Fingers,” and “Sometimes,” the album features a new song with country icon Dolly Parton, “Someday It’ll All Make Sense.” The newly recorded duet is joined by Anderson and Parton’s first-ever collaboration, an incredibly rare demo of “If It Is All The Same To You,” recorded in 1964 and eventually released as a duet with Jan Howard on Anderson’s chart-topping 1969 album of the same name. As Far As I Can See: The Best Of, was released by MCA Nashville/UMe, which has been Anderson’s label home for most of his seven-decade long career. The new project is released in conjunction with the first-time digital release of seven of Anderson’s albums from the 1960s, available HERE.

WADE BOWEN RELEASES REFLECTIVE VINCE GILL DUET: “A GUITAR, A SINGER AND A SONG”

/in /by

New Track Featured on Somewhere Between The Secret And The Truth

 A renowned singer-songwriter in his own right, Wade Bowen teams up with the incomparable Vince Gill for his latest release, “A Guitar, A Singer and A Song,” available everywhere now. The release follows lead single “Everything Has Your Memory” as a further preview of the Waco, Texas native’s forthcoming album Somewhere Between The Secret And The Truth, scheduled for release on August 12 via Thirty Tigers and available for pre-order HERE.

Embracing the theme of every songwriter’s quest for an enduring legacy, Bowen notes that the closing verse sung by Gill offers the crux of the ballad’s concept; “The whole point of doing what we do is to not be forgotten, to try to leave a mark on the world with a guitar and with your songs and with your voice. We don’t think about it until we get a couple decades into our career: ‘Have I done enough that people will remember me?’”

          So I’ll write you a thousand songs
And I’ll play you a thousand shows
It’ll feel like a thousand years
Some will remember me and some won’t
But I know why I do what I do
And I’m in ‘til the day that I’m gone
And I pray when they speak my name that I live on
In a guitar, a singer and a song

“I love that this song got written because it seemed for a second there that it was not meant to be,” adds Bowen of the writing process with his GRAMMY Award-winning co-writer Lori McKenna, who also features as a duet partner on another track on the album. “When I brought the idea to Lori, of course she’s the kind of person that was just like, ‘oh yeah, I see what you’re talking about there.’ I’m so thankful for her friendship that helped turned this idea into the right lyrics.”

“Wade is a great artist and this is a great singer, singing a great song,” adds Gill. “That never goes out of style. I’m grateful to be a part of it.”

Fans of Bowen’s heartfelt lyrics and star-studded collaborations can look forward to the August 12 release of all 12 songs on Somewhere Between The Secret And The Truth and can catch Bowen performing these new songs as well as his extensive catalog of hits two decades in the making at shows across the country this summer.

BAILEY ZIMMERMAN’S “FALL IN LOVE” IS THIS WEEK’S MOST-ADDED DEBUT SINGLE AT COUNTRY RADIO

/in /by

Skyrocketing breakout country artist Bailey Zimmerman continues to “forge new territory for a modern country crossover” (Billboard) becoming the most-added new artist at country radio today with his debut single “Fall In Love” (LISTEN HERE). Already a chart-topping track, “Fall In Love” raced its way to No. 1 on Apple Music’s Top Country Songs chart upon release before recently clinching the top spot on SiriusXM The Highway’s Hot 30 Countdown as well. Streamed by fans more than 150 million times, for an average of more than 11 million streams per week, the song is already nearing Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and Top 40 on their all-genre Hot 100 chart.

Zimmerman also recently shared the official music video for his most recent release, “Rock and A Hard Place” (WATCH HERE). Upon release, the explosive hit became the highest non-Morgan Wallen country song premiere of the year, debuting at #1 on Billboard’s Country Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales charts, #2 on their Hot Country Songs chart, No. 24 on their all-genre Hot 100 chart. It was also the #1 most streamed country song of the week and No. 23 most-streamed song of the week all-genre in the US.

“Streamers [are] falling hard for Bailey Zimmerman” (Country Insider), as is evident by his more than 250 million global streams to date and an average of more than 15 million global streams a week. The Amazon Music 2022 Artist to Watch and YouTube Trending Artist on the Rise is also currently Top 10 on Billboard’s Country Songwriters chart and Top 50 on their all-genre Artist 100 Chart.

Before his whirlwind rise over the past year, the twenty-two-year-old was born and raised in the small town of Louisville, IL. He grew up listening to hour after hour of country radio on long hauls across state lines with his father, who owned a trucking business, while back at home his mom instilled in him a life-long appreciation for the power chords and edgy vocals of 80’s hair rock. But it was time spent at the family’s car dealership where he learned the art of telling stories, listening to Grandpa Zimmerman and his oldest friends would sit and tell stories capture people’s attention with their words.

At the age of sixteen, Zimmerman got his first job at the local meat processing plant and hasn’t stopped working since. From long hours on the gas pipeline, to late nights of backbreaking roadwork, he embodies the old school American values of hard work and dependability and applies the same steadfast mentality to his music. Through his plainspoken charm, contagious enthusiasm and genuine portrayal of life on the back roads, the up-and-comer has already attracted a loyal and passionate fan base. With more new music on the horizon, featuring the grit and gravel of his unmistakably Southern drawl, Zimmerman will continue to showcase the straightforward authenticity for which he is known and loved.
