 Courtesy: Six Shooter Records (Press Release) Cue playback, it’s time for Can’t Stop Shakin,’ a new video from Austin’s Whitney Rose. This new clip turns a song about nerves into a nervy show of shimmy and strength, golden throne, sequined boots, country hair and all.
"Can’t Stop Shakin’" features three of Austin’s go-to entertainers: Frostine Shake, a ballerina with a message that ‘Every Body is a Dancer’s Body,' burlesque sensation Ruby Joule and singer/dancer Jolie Goodnight. "Can’t Stop Shakin’" was directed by Blake Judd and Todd Tue of Milk Products Media. Rose is currently in the running for one of the more original titles in music, Ameripolitan Awards’ Honky Tonk Female of the Year. Respect for her unique ‘real deal’ countrypolitan sound continues to build at home – attested by her place on the cover of Texas Music Magazine’s winter issue, where Rose is the first Canadian artist to have this honour – and beyond, where she and her newest album Rule 62 made a strong showing on Nashville Scene’s annual Country Music Critics’ Poll, landing on Best Album, Best New Act and Female Vocalist lists.

Don’t Regret A Single One. Liv explains “the song is an anthem for anyone who’s made mistakes in love, and learnt from them. It’s about how heartache makes you stronger and that relationships, both successful and unsuccessful, make us who we are”. Liv also tackles sexist assumptions by talking positively about having had several relationships, something that is still unfortunately seen more commonly as accepted behaviour for men. Liv’s rich lead vocal has the same dynamic power of that of Carrie Underwood. This combined with Liv’s undeniably catchy melodies and lyrical charm enables her to create something both infectious and inspiring. 2018 is shaping up the be an exciting year for Liv Austen and her heartfelt blend of country-pop.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Chris Price had a breakthrough year in 2017. Fresh off the heels of producing Emitt Rhodes’ comeback album Rainbow Ends and touring alongside the Who as an opening act with Tal Wilkenfeld, Price went into the studio to complete work on what would become his own second solo album, the critically acclaimed fan favorite Stop Talking. Much was made at the time of that album’s release about the lengthy and highly productive sessions, which left Price with a catalog of nearly 50 tracks to choose from. Some of the best material written and recorded during that time was left off of Stop Talking because it simply didn’t fit. With the arrival of Dalmatian, Price’s brand new third album and second release in only 10 months, that music finds new life in an electrifying new package that begs to be heard from start to finish. Dalmatian will be released digitally on Omnivore Recordings on March 2, 2018.

Singer-songwriter Michelle LeBlanc is set to release her debut EP, A Man Like You, on March 2, 2018. The five-track outing, produced by Nick Buda, is a true reflection of LeBlanc’s fiery heart and gypsy soul - a confessional, vulnerable collection of songs about the time in her life when she took a leap of faith to move to a new city while having to leave behind someone she felt deeply for.
Today, TDC is incredibly proud to share one of the album's tracks, "Loving A Hurricane." Penned by LeBlanc and Amy Gerhartz, the heartfelt, accessible ballad is led by LeBlanc's airy, emotive vocals telling the story of a woman who finally garnered the courage to leave a toxic relationship. LeBlanc relays the story behind the song explaing, "I wrote this song with one of my good friends, Amy Gerhartz. We had both just moved to Nashville around the same time and this was one of the first songs we wrote together. I remember showing up to her apartment for our co-writing session, where she was making a pot of chili for us because that’s what good co-writers do... they feed you. At that point, I was in the process of trying to move on from a man from my past life back in NYC who left me very confused. We had this ongoing dynamic where one of us would sort of show up out of the blue, and I would feel like I was the center of his universe, and it felt as though he had deeper feelings for me, but then he would always disappear on me shortly after. That pattern kept repeating itself over and over and was becoming destructive and toxic for me. So, I went into our writing session wanting to write a song about being in love with an unavailable man and how painful that experience is. We wrote the song in one sitting. It came quickly and easily, and when it moved me to tears by the end, I knew it had a some magic about it." "Cause loving a man like you is like loving a hurricane You’re so intense, you pull me in destroying everything in your way And standing in the middle of the eye sure as hell ain’t worth the pain And your winds don’t make it easy to stay Loving a hurricane" Listen to, and share, "Loving A Hurricane" above and then read on as LeBlanc discusses her musical heroes, details what's next, and more.
