(Press Release) When Jeremy Pinnell released OH/KY in the summer of 2015 to stunned acclaim, it felt like an entire career compressed into one knock-out album. This unassuming northern Kentucky singer-songwriter sauntered and ripped through ten instant country classics that tracked as so confident and comfortable that it could have been mistaken for a seasoned musician’s creative peak. The songs themselves, reverent of Americana’s most enduring traditions, presented the man’s scope - his misadventures, loves, failures, and contradictions. Hailed as a “mind-blowingly good” (Greg Vandy, KEXP) “tutorial on classic country music” (Popmatters), Pinnell’s debut immediately differentiated as authentic and unflinching. If OH/KY was the self-assured introduction of an unconventional new talent, his 2017 album Ties of Blood and Affection presents a canny lateral move. Instead of doubling down on the stark themes and values of his debut, this sophomore album finds Pinnell finding comfort in his own skin and achieving the redemption only hinted at in his previous batch of haunted songs. Here Pinnell joyfully embraces the working life, family obligations, and faith. His new stories delve into acceptance and survival, all the while investigating his most challenging chapter yet: adulthood. While “If life don’t get any better / I’m alright with this” isn’t an out-right triumph, it’s an honest revelation. Miranda Lambert's MUTTNATION March Kicked Off MUTTNATION Foundation Adoption Drive at CMA Fest6/12/2017 Nashville, TN (Press Release) – Vanner Records/RCA Records Nashville GRAMMY Award-winner and 12-time CMA Award winner, Miranda Lambert kicked off CMA Fest with her first MuttNation March on June 8th. Miranda with more than 1000 fellow animal lovers, including Nashville Mayor Megan Barry, created a sea of pink as they, along with approximately 120 dogs marched from Nissan Stadium over the Nashville Pedestrian Bridge, and ended at Chevrolet Walk of Fame Park, where Lambert was joined onstage by Storme Warren, host of SiriusXM’s “The Highway.” Nashville singer-songwriter Will Hoge has premeired "Little Bit Of Rust" with Rolling Stone Country. It's the debut single from Hoge's 11th studio album Anchors, out August 11th via Thirty Tigers. The song features multi-instrumentalist Fats Kaplin (Jack White, Beck) on mandolin, and guest vocals from Sheryl Crow. "I'd always wanted a female vocal for this song because I felt like the 'we' in the chorus is important," says Hoge. "Nobody fixes a relationship on their own. I felt like it deserved this strong female presence, and Sheryl's just one of the greatest singers I've ever heard. Having her on the track breathed a whole new life into the song, and it's one of my favorite things I've ever done." Listen to "Little Bit of Rust" HERE The pedal steel, the fiddle, the hush of a song sung from the heart—the world of American roots music is no stranger to Seattle songwriter Sera Cahoone. After three albums on Sub Pop Records and years at the top of the indie charts, she’s returning to her earliest influences. Growing up, Cahoone's father, a Rocky Mountain dynamite salesman, took the family to mining conferences at old honky-tonks. The sounds she heard there—the twang of country crooners, cowboy boots on peanut shells—have found their way into a new album, From Where I Started. It’s an album about falling in and out of love, finding new hope, and learning that the best way to move forward is to remember where you began. One of the most compelling tracks of the album is Ladybug, which is about the death of Cahoone's cousin Tawnee at the hands of a domestic partner. While many country songs explore domestic violence, most do so in a heterosexual context, Ladybug is original in that it sheds light on the often hidden issues of domestic violence in queer relationships. Ladybug was one NPR's 'Songs We Love' after it debuted this February. For more information on Cahoone visit HERE.

Originally premiered in May, "When You Close Your Eyes" has already garnered extensive radio plays and praise across Mainstream Rock, Alternative, and College radio throughout the United States, Canada, and even Australia. Watch "Dead Man's Shoes" Video HERE JUNE 8, 2017 - BROOKLYN, NY - Folk-punk/Americana singer songwriter Rue Snider released the second video from his album Broken Window today for the joyful, high energy, Americana track “Dead Man’s Shoes" which was shot at the Brooklyn Half Marathon. His previous video about isolation, “Crowd Into Trains,” was released late last year. “Dead Man’s Shoes” is a song about ambition, momentum, and living exuberantly in the moment. The Brooklyn Half Marathon with 27,440 finishers, that New York Road Runners calls “the largest half marathon in the country,” is a fitting metaphor for the themes of the song. The enormous event saw both seasoned pros and first-timers crowd onto Eastern Parkway to make the 13 mile trip through Prospect Park to Coney Island. A skeleton crew equipped with iPhones was there to capture the action for the video. “Although this song has an ominous title it’s very hopeful,” says Rue. “I wanted to make a video showing people doing something awesome for themselves. It seems to me like a race is more a competition with yourself than anything. The song talks about change and moving forward and athletes demonstrate that better than words a lot of the time.” |
