Master Sergeant Andrew Lang (retired), an Afghanistan combat veteran who as an Army Green Beret served in the Special Forces 5th Group,
is the founder of Leatherwood Distillery and is available to speak about his service and the distillery’s new partnership with Darryl Worley

Veteran-owned and veteran-operated Leatherwood Distillery has partnered with country music hitmaker Darryl Worley to launch a limited-edition spirits line to help raise money and awareness for veteran and military organizations on the heels of the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Known for his patriotic anthem, “Have You Forgotten?,” Worley has been a staunch supporter of the US military having traveled abroad on multiple Stars for Stripes and USO tours to perform on bases in war zones.

“Darryl is the perfect promotional partner for this endeavor as we are coming upon the 20th anniversary of the horrific tragedy of 9/11 and his song ‘Have You Forgotten’ really makes us think of how many have forgotten what took place that day,” says Andy Lang, President of Leatherwood Distillery. “September 11 is nothing to celebrate, it’s a time to remember how all our lives changed and those who lost their lives for no reason.”

Leatherwood Distillery has created 2021 bottles of Darryl Worley Bourbon, Darryl Worley Rye Whiskey, and Darryl Worley Sweet Feed Whiskey as well as 2021 bottles of Have You Forgotten Darryl Worley Moonshine in Peach, Apple Pie, and Elderberry flavors.

About Darryl Worley:
Worley debuted on the country charts with a trio of top-15 hits in 2000-01, “When You Need My Love,” “A Good Day to Run” and “Second Wind.” His breakthrough year was 2002 when Worley’s touching ballad “I Miss My Friend,” the title tune to his second CD, became his first No. 1 hit. After he spent Christmas 2002 entertaining America’s troops in Afghanistan, Kuwait, and Uzbekistan, he came home and wrote the patriotic anthem “Have You Forgotten?,” which became his second No. 1 song and remained at the top of the charts for six weeks. In the summer of 2004, “Awful Beautiful Life” was released and soon rocketed up the country music charts to become a multi-week No. 1. Darryl has continued to release albums and participate in philanthropic endeavors. For more information on Darryl Worley, visit darrylworley.com.

Surprise Guest Eric Church Joins McBryde on Stage for a
Special Rendition of Allman Brothers Band’s “Midnight Rider”

This Town Talks Tour Continues Through January 2022

Four-time GRAMMY nominee Ashley McBryde launched her sold out three-night headlining debut at the historic Ryman Auditorium Thursday, Aug. 26, opening a cappella with never-released-or-recorded rollicking hymnal “Ain’t Enough Water,” before her band Deadhorse kicked in for what followed: a full-throttle, fist-pumping hour-and-half set.

“It’s a beautiful night for country music,” McBryde said, beaming. “Here’s what you’re gonna experience: some country songs, some rock songs; some happy ones, maybe some sad ones; some slow ones, some fast ones and some half-ass ones,” the Arkansas-native noted after “El Dorado.” “Let’s get on with it!”

As the crowd rejoiced alongside her, she launched into “American Scandal” from her Warner Music Nashville debut album Girl Going Nowhere, and the at-capacity crowd was reminded why Billboard frequently uses the word “authentic” when describing the singer/songwriter and expert storyteller.

Only six songs in, she teed up her GRAMMY nominated “Girl Goin’ Nowhere,” forced to take a few steps back from her microphone throughout the performance to take in the crowd’s reaction to her line “I hear the crowd,” eventually composing herself before continuing.

The night’s opening act Lainey Wilson, an up-and-comer with Top 5 hit “Things A Man Oughta Know,” also returned to the stage joining McBryde on the Linda Ronstadt/The Everly Brothers’ “When Will I Be Loved.” McBryde sharing prior to their collaboration, “How about a nice round of applause for our sister, we’re so proud to have her!”

Occasionally pausing to survey and absorb the energy of the audience, McBryde shared, “Here’s one of my other favorite reasons to love country music, live music period. For as long as I stand here, as long as Lainey stands here, as long as you stand or sit here, nothing else gets to matter. For 90 minutes, I’ve got no problems. There’s nothing else in this world that can accomplish not giving a shit that doesn’t come in a bottle or a pill. Country music, it only elevates. So, if you had a great day today, we’re so happy you chose us to celebrate with, and if you had a shit day today, you leave the rest of that to us.”

And with the crowd celebrating McBryde in full control, she then surprised the audience with a special guest, simply introducing him saying: “Eric F*cking Church.”

The reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year was met with thunderous applause before the pair closed out the set with a performance of the Allman Brothers Band’s classic, “Midnight Rider,” creating a full-circle moment from early in McBryde’s career when Church invited her onstage at a Chicago tour stop in 2017 to perform the emotive, fan-favorite “Bible and a .44” together.

As that song followed, Church watched on from side stage with pride.

McBryde ended night one at the Ryman with the bluesy Girl Going Nowhere closer, “Home Sweet Highway,” a fitting encore closer as McBryde and her band celebrate being back out on the road after being away from “home” for more than 15 months.

“And that’s the show,” McBryde, still beaming. “This is the perfect time to remind you: you didn’t show up to the Ryman Auditorium tonight because we were going to be here, we showed up tonight because you were going to be here.”

Catch McBryde at one of the 23 additional dates on her This Town Talks Tour, wrapping in early 2022.

Nail Joined on Select Dates by Rising Artist Karissa Ella

Country hit-maker David Nail announced today that he will be hitting the road this Fall for the Bootheel 2021 Tour. Kicking off in Jewett, Ohio on August 27, the country star will play through the Fall across the United States with stops from Michigan to Arizona and Oklahoma to Colorado. Rolling Stone lauds Nail as “one of country’s most powerful and distinct voices” which will be on full display as he brings his GRAMMY-nominated showmanship to stages across the country. The tour, named after the “bootheel” of Missouri where Nail’s hometown of Kennett is located, is a continuation of his Bootheel recording project launched with last year’s Bootheel 2020 EP. Tour dates and tickets can be found at DavidNail.com.

“The past two years have been filled with reflection and melancholy for me. I lost my grandfather this year and we haven’t been able to play as many shows as we’d like to be. At the same time, my wife and I had a baby girl last year and have been able to watch all three of our kids growing up before our eyes. Bootheel is an ongoing project about roots, family, life and love. We’re excited to hit the road hard again and continue the Bootheel storyline this Fall,” says David Nail.

Joining Nail on select dates will be country-riser Karissa Ella. Karissa’s energetic live performances at places like the ACM-nominated Dusty Armadillo along with her breathtaking vocals attract audiences of all ages. Her new single, “Crackin’ Cold Ones” comes out on Friday, August 27.

“I’m so excited to be hitting the road and opening up for David Nail this Fall! I am a huge fan of David’s music and am eager to learn the ropes from someone I’ve looked up to for so long,” says Karissa Ella.
As a multi-platinum recording artist with 2 No. 1 singles, “Let It Rain” and “Whatever She’s Got” along with acclaimed hits including GRAMMY-nominated Kenny Chesney penned “Stealing Home,” “Red Light,” “Kiss You Tonight,” “Night’s on Fire” and more, David will be sure to put on an incredible show full of crowd favorites along with a preview of his new music.

About David Nail
Hailing from Kennett, Missouri, David Nail is well-respected up and down Music Row. The GRAMMY-nominated multi-platinum singer/songwriter’s early releases, I’m About To Come Alive, The Sound Of A Million Dreams, I’m A Fire and Fighter, ignited his reputation as an innovator and creative risk-taker yet left Nail feeling restless. Through dealing with his own journey of mental illness and the feeling of needing to “rebel against what people expect you to be,” Nail began making his most “organic” work to date, David Nail & The Well Ravens, with Jason Hall and Andrew Petroff. That project liberated Nail and propelled him into his next adventure. Writing solo for the next few months led to his debut solo independent EP Oh, Mother, a reflective piece of work. That release was followed by Bootheel 2020, a project dedicated to the singer/songwriter’s hometown in the “bootheel” of Missouri. Nail plans on releasing more music throughout 2021, leaving behind any self-imposed restrictions. In Nail’s own words, “My philosophy has always been, I just hope to have a good enough year that I can have a next year while staying as true to myself as I possibly can.” Find more at www.davidnail.com.

 Australian singer/songwriter Jasmin Bade releases her playful new single “X’s & Y’s” and lyric video, which premiered on American Songwriter, today. “X’s & Y’s” provides a positive outlook on embracing the single life. Bade co-wrote the song with Emily Kroll who penned the No. 1 hit “Just About Over You” by Priscilla Block and had the track produced by Steven Martinez (Pentatonix, Lionel Richie).

“I would come out of these relationships, and so would my friends, and we would look back a while later and think, ‘why did I even date this guy in the first place?’ I think everyone has an ex or someone in their life that in hindsight, seems like a huge mistake. And there are so many sad songs about being single, when in reality, more and more people are choosing to stay single for longer and longer every year. So, I wrote ‘X’s and Y’s’ because we’ve all been through it, and now all there’s left to do is laugh about it,” shared Bade.

An advocate for mental health, Bade released her debut single, “I’m Fine,” in 2019. The single reached radio play in over 50 countries and landed on key Spotify playlists such as New Music Nashville.

ABOUT JASMIN BADE
Dubbed as “one to watch” by the Nashville Songwriters Association International for her debut single “I’m Fine,” Jasmin Bade hit the ground running when she touched down in Nashville straight out of college. The Aussie native quickly paired up with Spencer Jordan (Maroon Five, Danny Phantom) to pen the song, which was produced by Steven Martinez (Pentatonix, Lionel Richie). Bade’s debut single reached radio play in over 50 countries and landed on key Spotify playlists such as New Music Nashville. Bade regularly works with hit writers like Phil Barton (Lee Brice, Woman Like You), Chad Carlson (Taylor Swift, Fearless) and Emily Kroll (Priscilla Block, Just About Over You). With vocals comparable to Miranda Lambert and Natalie Maines of The Chicks, Bade uses a combination of elements that pull from the classic country she listened to growing up as well as the pop hits heard on today’s charts. As a songwriter, Bade is skilled at getting to the root of the story, which brings authenticity to her lyrics. Her writing focuses on love, relationships with others, and relationships with ourselves; bringing the topic of mental health to light in her debut single, “I’m Fine.” Bade’s newest single, “X’s & Y’s,” is available everywhere now.
