TYLER RICH CELEBRATES LOVE WITH NEW SINGLE “LEAVE HER WILD”

Watch First Look Video: https://TylerRich.lnk.to/LHWvideoPR

Performs Track During Symbolic Stagecoach Appearance


NASHVILLE, TN (April 29, 2019) – Three years ago fate stepped in when TYLER RICH caught a glimpse of his free-spirited, now fiancée Sabina Gadecki unabashedly enjoying music at Stagecoach. On Friday (4/26), they returned once again to the Indio festival grounds as he performed a set including new single “Leave Her Wild” that links their random meeting and unfolding love story. The song, available now via The Valory Music Co., expresses just how Tyler sees his beloved … then, now and forever.
Penning the track alongside Chris DeStefano and Jon Nite, Tyler shares, “’Leave Her Wild’ is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written, and I’m so excited to get to share it with the world! Sabina is truly the inspiration, but it’s cool to see how fans are already connecting out on the road. I wrote this song about truly loving somebody for who they are and not trying to change them. So many times, we have our own ideas about how someone should be living their life, rather than just supporting them for who and what they are. If you’re gonna love her … leave her wild.”
With lyrics steeped in the freedom of acceptance, Tyler sings: Don’t tame her, try to chain her, the second you do, you’ll break her / Don’t dull that shine that caught your eye, ‘cause you’re afraid somebody will take her / She ain’t a dial you just turn on and off / She ain’t all found, but she ain’t all that lost / If you’re gonna make her, make her smile, smile / If you’re gonna let her / If you’re gonna let her, let her dance, let her sing / Let her be whatever she wanna be/ Leave her wild. Mixing behind-the-scenes studio footage and clips of “…appreciating the free-spiritedness of your partner” (The Boot), watch the first look video: https://TylerRich.lnk.to/LHWvideoPR.
Officially impacting Country radio on May 13, NY Country Swag already notes, “Rich beautifully articulates the importance of always remembering the little things you loved about your person, and to always allow he or she to stay true to themselves.”
Tyler is currently featured in the April Music Issue of Palm Springs Life; read the multi-artist cover here. The Yuba City, CA native has been in the studio and is expected to release more music throughout the year following his SiriusXM chart-topping hit “The Difference.” Rolling Stone called Tyler “the newest member of country music’s radio-minded incoming class, with a homecoming king’s swagger and a valedictorian’s songwriting smarts.” Music lovers can catch Tyler at fairs and festivals throughout the summer; for additional tour dates, visit TylerRich.com.

MATT STELL MAKES MEMORABLE OPRY DEBUT

Nashville, TN — April 28,  2019 — Rising star MATT STELL made his Grand Ole Opry debut on Saturday, April 27th, sharing the iconic stage with Martina McBride, Charles Esten, Mark Wills, Jeannie Seely, and more. The “Prayed For You” singer/songwriter was introduced by Seely and received a rousing welcome from the audience, including throngs of friends, family, and fans who made the trip from Arkansas to cheer on the hometown singer, as he stepped into the Opry’s hallowed circle to perform “Everywhere But On” and a heartfelt rendition of his debut single. Stell had just returned to Nashville from a sold-out hometown show in Little Rock, AR hours before stepping onto the Opry stage.

Matt Stell continues to turn heads with his current single, “Prayed For You,” a song he wrote with Ash Bowers and Allison Veltz, which has already garnered over 42 million on demand streams and over 360,000 consumption units.  The track which features his “rich, rumbling vocals” (Digital Journal) is making waves on Billboard’s Country Airplay and Hot Country Songs Charts — currently sitting at No. 43 on Airplay — and spinning on SiriusXM’s The Highway. The CMT Discovery Artist’s official music video for “Prayed For You” premiered via People, stars Savannah Chrisley and her fiance’, Nic Kerdiles and has racked up over 4.3 million views! The track has been featured on Spotify’s Hot Country, New Boots, Wild Country, and Country Kind Of Love Playlists, Amazon’s “The Weekly One,” and Apple’s A-List Country Playlist.

“Prayed For You” is the debut single from his forthcoming EP slated for release this spring.

After playing college basketball for Drury University for four years, breakthrough country artist, Matt Stell stood at a crossroads. One road led to Cambridge, MA where Stell was accepted into Harvard University’s Extension School Pre-Med program. The other road pointed toward Nashville and a career in country music. Stell made the choice to follow his dreams of writing and performing. The 6’7” Center Ridge, Arkansas native and self-taught vocalist and guitar-player made the move to Music City in 2014, landing a publishing deal with Wide Open Music and a record deal with music industry powerhouse Barry Weiss’s RECORDS/Sony Music Entertainment. He will be taking the stage at a number of major country music festivals this summer including CMA Music Fest (Nashville, TN), LakeShake (Chicago, IL) and Watershed (George, WA).

LANCO Finds Unity in “Rival” Music Video

ACM-WINNING GROUP LANCO RELEASE NEW MUSIC VIDEO
FOR UNDERDOG ANTHEM “RIVAL” TODAY

LANCO to Headline For Capacity Crowds Overseas as
Their HALLELUJAH NIGHTS TOUR Launches in London on May 1st

NASHVILLE, TN – Apr. 22, 2019 – Double-PLATINUM Arista Nashville band LANCO released their new music video “Rival” today. The first track from the band’s upcoming sophomore album, which already boasts over one million streams, follows their No. One selling and critically acclaim debut HALLELUJAH NIGHTS. In the music video directed by Peter Zavadil and filmed in Nashville, LANCO brings together a diverse crowd from all walks of life who have overcome judgment cast by others. They amplify the power of unity by bulldozing through defeating moments together alongside a compelling live performance. Fans can watch the music video for “Rival” here.

“We really wanted to capitalize on the true message behind the song that was built from different times in our lives and the stories from fans who have felt beat-down and lost, but ultimately find hope and redemption,” said Lancaster. “Every caption on that wall was an experience that person had to overcome, and when it was knocked down you could feel the genuine joy from everyone on the set. It was a powerful moment I’ll never forget.”

Fans can get a behind the scenes look of LANCO’s “Rival” music video here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ca1eRaPXkI

ACM “New Group of the Year” once again tapped producer Jay Joyce for the track that was written by frontman Brandon Lancaster and drummer Tripp Howell as it curates “thumping beats, soaring guitar riffs and a sing-along chorus” with “a sound reminiscent of Arcade Fire” (Billboard). LANCO was able to “rile up the crowd with their catchy performance” (CBS) of “Rival” during the 54th annual ACM Awards, as it served as one the best moments of the night for Associated Press, Billboard, Country Living andRolling Stone. They will continue that moment at Stagecoach this weekend, before heading overseas with their headlining HALLELUJAH NIGHTS TOUR. The UK trek will launch May 1st at London’s O2 Academy Islington, with opener Bailey Bryan.

LANCO has paved the course for critical acclaim with the success of their 2x PLATINUM single “Greatest Love Story” which became a multi-week chart-topper. Following the release of their No. One selling debut album HALLELUJAH NIGHTS, which has over 550 million streams, both moments were historical in Country music as Lancaster became the first artist in 10 years to have a No. One on the chart is solely written by that artist, while LANCO served as the first Country group in a decade to appear at the top of the Billboard Country albums chart with a debut album. LANCO recently earned their first award as ACM“New Group of the Year” and has garnered additional nominations from the CMT, CMA, AMA, and iHeartAwards, while Lancaster became the first member of a group to ever win NSAI’s “Songwriter/Artist of the Year.” This summer, they will perform at Country music’s biggest festivals after serving as direct support for Luke Combs’ “BEER NEVER BROKE MY HEART TOUR.” Fans can connect with LANCO onFacebook, Instagram and Twitter.

HITMAKER ROSS COPPERMAN RELEASES
TWO NEW ORIGINAL SONGS
“Stars Are On Your Side” Featured on SPOTIFY’S
 New Music Friday“We Should Plant a Tree” Celebrates the Beauty of Earth Day

Nashville, Tenn. – Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter and producer Ross Copperman is further cementing his position as one of the most influential figures in country music today with the release of two new original tracks to all digital partners starting this week. Copperman wrote, produced and sings on both of the thought-provoking songs.

Written alongside Kevin Bard and Brian Fallon, “Stars Are On Your Side” was recently featured on Spotify’s “New Music Friday” segment and was also featured on the April 18 episode of ABC’s award-winning show “Grey’s Anatomy.” A second song, “We Should Plant a Tree,” was recently released in honor of Earth Day (April 22). Written by the Virginia native alongside accomplished Nashville songwriters Josh Osborne and Shane McAnally, “We Should Plant a Tree” is a song that reminds us all that we all play a part in taking care of the earth in which we live.

Fresh off his ACM Award win for Music Event of the Year as producer of the Dierks Bentley and Brothers Osborne’s collaboration “Burning Man,” Copperman continues to add to his impressive list of professional accolades. A five-time CMA Triple Play Award winner, Copperman was nominated twice this year for “CMA Album of the Year” for Keith Urban’s Graffiti U and Dierks Bentley’s The Mountain. In addition, Copperman’s songwriting talents have shined on a total of 18 No. 1 hits for artists such as Luke Bryan (“Strip It Down,”) Kenny Chesney (“Setting the World On Fire”) and Florida Georgia Line (“Confession.”)

In addition to his professional accomplishments, Copperman has also led a very personal initiative as the co-founder of Songfarm, an initiative to provide high school students the proper studio equipment to help them reach their music-filled dreams. The idea of Songfarm first originated when Copperman attempted to fulfill the needs of the music students from his very own high school, Glenvar High School. It is now Copperman’s hope to replicate Songfarm to schools across the nation. For more information, please visit songfarm.org.

New Single “That’s Country Bro” Hits Radio/Streaming/Digital Platforms May 3
 

 

(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) Singer, songwriter and entertainer Toby Keith kicks off the first leg of Toby Keith That’s Country Bro! Tour May 26 at the Tree Town Music Festival in Forest City, Iowa. The tour’s initial leg has been announced, with 28 cities on the slate and more to come. Meanwhile, the single from which the trek gets its name bows May 3 across all radio, streaming and digital platforms.

Written by Keith and longtime collaborator Bobby Pinson, “That’s Country Bro” is a quick sprint down a country icon heritage trail carved out and delivered with the kind of wit and polish that led to Keith being a 2015 Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee. Toby also co-produced the track with Pinson and Reid Shippen; Arturo Buenahora is executive producer.
The single is Keith’s first new music since his acclaimed “Don’t Let The Old Man In,” featured in last year’s Clint Eastwood film “The Mule.” The tour follows last year’s Toby Keith Should’ve Been A Cowboy Tour XXV, which was at the center of a multi-faceted celebration of the 25-year anniversary of his debut No. 1 smash “Should’ve Been A Cowboy.”

NASHVILLE, TN (April 19, 2019) – ACM Awards Male Artist of the Year and MULTI-PLATINUM selling performer THOMAS RHETT continues to preview his most autobiographical album to date, CENTER POINT ROAD (The Valory Music Co.), ahead of its May 31 release with “Remember You Young” – a sweeping reflection of childhood friends, marriage and children, out today.  Once again teaming up with chart-topping collaborators Jesse Frasure and Ashley Gorley (“Unforgettable, “Marry Me, “Life Changes”), fans can listen to the song here and pre-order limited edition album packages at ThomasRhett.com.  Those who pre-ordered the album digitally will instantly receive the new track in addition to the previously available Top 15-and-climing “Look What God Gave Her,” the “soulful, upbeat” (iHeartRadio) “Don’t Threaten Me With A Good Time” feat Little Big Town and the “nostalgic” (Rolling Stone) “That Old Truck.”

“We wrote this song about the people in life that we love, and always remembering them in their youth no matter how much time passes and we all change,” Thomas Rhett said. “There’s something sentimental about remembering your very best friends who have real jobs and families now tearing it up in college, or picturing me and my wife with no cares at the Tin Roof back in Knoxville. I love that the last verse is a bit of twist with it all coming full circle. It actually makes me emotional…it’s easily one of my favorite tracks on the album.”

The upcoming album’s lead single “Look What God Gave Her” has already earned the highest chart debut of Thomas Rhett’s career. CENTER POINT ROAD connects fans to Thomas Rhett’s past, weaving together autobiographical stories with familiar sounds that have propelled his meteoric career.

RILEY GREEN HEADS TO BELIZE FOR “IN LOVE BY NOW”

NASHVILLE, TN (April 19, 2019) – On the heels of his debut No. 1 single, RILEY GREEN jets to Belize as he tries find an old flame in the new video for his sophomore release “In Love By Now.” Billboard.com exclusively premiered the video about a lost love and it is available everywhere today – https://RileyGreen.lnk.to/ILBNvideo.

Directed by Mason Dixon, the video brings Music City to the tropics as they film in a familiar Nashville locale, Losers Bar and Grill Belize. “My buddy runs a bar and invited me down,” explained Green. “You don’t have to ask me twice to go film on the beach for two days. I had nothing to complain about.”

“In Love By Now” became an early fan favorite during his sold-out tour stops throughout the country. Green co-wrote the unrequited track with Rhett Akins, Marv Green and Ben Hayslip and tells Billboard “We sat down, and I think I said something about writing a song that sounded like Shenandoah; a ‘90s country sounding song. They all jumped at the opportunity because that’s kind of their bread and butter too.”

Named one of Rolling Stone Country’s “Artists You Need to Know,” he has also  been named a CMT Listen Up Artist and one of MusicRow’s Next Big Things while Taste of Country declares, he “is clearly an artist on the cusp of stardom.”

Fueled with good-natured rebellion, respect for tradition and steady touring, Green has built a fierce following on social media and at live shows. In addition to his own headlining dates, Green will hit the road next month with Brad Paisley’s 2019 WORLD TOUR. For a full list of tour dates and more, visit RileyGreenMusic.com.
