‘SoCal Country’ singer Sam Outlaw takes Angeleno back out on the road in February and March for the Country & Western Nights Tour with new Six Shooter Records labelmate Whitney Rose. The tour brings together two exciting breakout artists, both at the vanguard of country music, each with a distinctive sound and style. Outlaw’s country is classic and smooth, made his own with dappled Baja tones; Rose has developed a rich countrypolitan sound with beguiling vintage pop inflections. The Country & Western Nights Tour starts on Outlaw’s home turf in California and will cover ten states, through country music hotbeds and heartlands of past and present. Fittingly, the tour winds up in Nashville, TN.

(February 03, 2016 Press Release) - Sixth Beat Production’s flagship artist Allie Louise will introduce her newest single, entitled “Stilettos,” * to country radio in mid-February (CDX Vol. 629/PlayMpe-02/15/16). The third track from her debut self-titled EP (ALLIE LOUISE/Sixth Beat Productions) was written by Lindsey Lee, Rachel Proctor and Victoria Banks, and produced by Eddie Gore in RCA Studio C (Nashville, TN).
The emerging sixteen-year-old entertainer, who reigns from Michigan, exudes confidence and independence in “Stilettos.” With a motivational prowess that cannot be denied, Allie proves herself as a “girl power icon” in this “I Am Woman”anthem that represents stilettos as a resilient coat of armor. The mid-tempo track aims to defy the “man’s world” idealism.  Courtesy: EchoAve Nashville, TN (Press Release) - Acclaimed Knoxville band William Wild will release Steady Now, a six song EP, on March 4th via Randm Records (The Honey Dewdrops). William Wild is the moniker inspired by the nickname of a homeless man for 24-year old singer-songwriter Garrett Sale.
Hazy guitars, dusty keys, and blurry pedal steel illuminate the recordings of weighty songs immersed in loss, fear of failure, and the worthiness of human existence. With plush nostalgic pop sensibilities, Steady Now radiates tranquility. The EP is the follow up to Sale’s self-titled debut album that was recorded during his studies at The University of Tennessee. Sale was the feature topic in The Daily Times (view HERE) and performed a Daytrotter session. View a live performance of the song “Townsend” HERE.  Courtesy: All Eyes Media Nashville, TN (Press Release)– Influential band The Jayhawks have announced the April 29 release of their long-awaited new album Paging Mr. Proust (Thirty Tigers). The 11-song new album finds the 2016 Jayhawks still remain one of America’s foremost rock bands: based around leader Gary Louris’ gift for melody that has made them such a respected and seminal group for almost three decades.
Paging Mr. Proust features the long-time core of the Jayhawks: Gary Louris (lead vox/guitars), Marc Perlman (bass), Tim O’Reagan (drums/vox), and Karen Grotberg (keyboards/vox). Paging Mr. Proust was co-produced by Louris, REM’s Peter Buck and Tucker Martine (The Decemberists, Modest Mouse, My Morning Jacket) and recorded at Martine’s Flora Recording & Playback in Portland, OR. From the jangle of album opener “Quiet Corners & Empty Spaces” to the trademark harmonies of “Isabel’s Daughter” to the more pensive “Lover Of The Sun”, it is clear that The Jayhawks’ power remains undiminished from their initial national impact, 1992’s Hollywood Town Hall. |
