(Press Release) BRIAN FALDUTO​, once the young Billy (aka “Fancy Pants”) we all knew and loved has grown up and graduated to become a successful Singer/Songwriter in his own right. Over the last year, Brian has been hard at work writing, performing, and recording in New York City in preparation for his music debut. Previously, his history of work has been in Film, TV, Stage, and Radio.

"You're tacky and I hate you!" is one of the greatest if not one of the “most-used-as-a-GIF” movie lines of the 2000’s. Since uttering those famously sassy words in the blockbuster movie School of Rock (starring Jack Black, Joan Cusack, Sarah Silverman​), Brian studied Theatre Performance and Arts Administration at Wagner College in New York City. Administratively, he's worked for theatrical production companies and theatrical PR firms as well several radio stations, including NASH FM 94.7, where he served as an Event Manager & Coordinator, helping to bring country music back to NYC. However, Brian never dismissed his passion for performing; he has starred in countless theatre projects & tours and lent his vocal chops to jingles, voice-over projects & collaborations with other artists. After always having had a love of music, Brian is finally stepping out, taking his place center stage, and releasing his first-ever EP Love One Another.

(NASHVILLE, Tenn. Press Release) - The new album “Dust Bowl – American Stories” (Suburban Cowboy Records) by Grant Maloy Smith was not meant to be political, but the singer/songwriter thinks there are lessons to be learned from its subject.
 
The 13-track album was inspired by the Dust Bowl, the series of massive dust storms that blew across America’s Southern Plains during the 1930s, destroying crops, killing livestock, and sickening untold numbers of people. A result of years of drought exacerbated by poor land management and over-farming, the Dust Bowl is widely regarded as the worst man-made ecological disaster of the early 20th century.
 
“My main goal in writing the album was to capture the hardy nature of those people who endured so much, set against the backdrop of this real-life drama,” Smith said. “These storms happened over and over, for years. People were sickened from breathing in pounds of dirt each year. Pneumonia and other respiratory ailments were common. ‘Dust Bowl – American Stories’ is a cautionary tale, but it’s also about the triumph of the human spirit in the face of great adversity.”
 
More than a recitation of historical facts, Smith’s songs bring the Dust Bowl to life, by telling personal stories of how the disaster affected individuals, many of whom were forced to flee their homes when dirt covered everything.
 
With a slow, haunting opening, the song “Old Black Roller” paints a frightening picture of an approaching storm, eventually building to a heart-pounding crescendo and setting an ominous tone for what is to come. (“Old Black Roller, why’d you come today? Half of Oklahoma is blowing dead away.”)
