 Courtesy: Loud Mouth Entertainment Nashville, Tenn., (July 12, 2016 Press Release) — As part of his commitment to create a video for every track on his debut album, multifaceted country newcomer Drew Baldridge releases an eloquent version of the classic hymn “It Is Well (With My Soul)” today. It can be viewed on CMT.Com by visiting HERE
In contrast with the upbeat, dance-inflected, romantic and other varied tracks from Dirt On Us, this video reveals a reverent side to the dynamic young artist. Directed by Dustin Wise, it shows Baldridge giving a seemingly private and personal statement in Nashville’s First Lutheran Church. Whether singing alone or in harmony with his father and uncle Doug, he delivers something greater than a performance, more like a look into the heart and soul of his belief.

Beaver Nelson to Rolling Stone
(Press Release) Quite a bit of time has passed since that conversation between Rolling Stone and Nelson, and during that period much has happened. A lot of recordings, a family, a business and many, many songs. Chances are if you know Beaver’s name, you probably connect it with songwriting. He’s been writing songs and releasing them for the last twenty five years. And if you are one of those people who has heard Beaver’s name over the years and wondered why, Positive is perhaps the collection of songs you should start with. It’s a summation without being nostalgic, it’s stylistically varied without being forced and it’s as current as last week as well as having one foot in those hazy and glorious days of the last millennium known as Austin’s roots rock scene. Beaver moved through that wild mix of Austin songwriters in the late 1980’s and early 90’s that included the likes of Lucinda Williams, Bob Schneider, David Halley, Hammel on Trial, Jo Carol Pierce, Tony Scalzo, Kevin Russell and Michael Fracasso. “I’m pretty obsessed with the notion of time." Beaver Nelson to Rolling Stone  Courtesy: Conqueroo BERLIN, Germany — Ken – The Movie is a new film project by award-winning writer-director Claudia Rorarius. The musician Ken Stringfellow (The Posies, R.E.M., Big Star) will play the lead character in his first-ever acting role. After an intense process of research and development, the main cast is assembled, the story has come together, and production is ready to go! Shooting is scheduled in the U.S. for autumn 2016 and spring 2017.
Ken – The Movie grew from Rorarius' desire to work with a particular person — Ken Stringfellow. And yes, the real-life Ken and the film’s protagonist share the same name, but this is no documentary. Rather, Ken Stringfellow acts as himself, reliving parts of his life and fraying the line between reality and fiction in the process.  Courtesy: Laughing Penguin Publicity Nashville, TENN – Talented truobadours of truly traditional country music, The Malpass Brothers will delight audiences with their upcoming appearance on the beloved television series, Larry’s Country Diner. The gifted duo is set to appear on the July 14 episode of the show.
The Malpass Brothers not only sound and look retro, they are retro. As young kids, Christopher and Taylor Malpass soaked up the music of their granddad’s phonograph records. Christopher earned his first talent show trophy at age 7, and Taylor was playing mandolin by the time he was 10. They enthusiastically share the music of classic country artists while also creating new music that harkens back to that classic era. Their smooth vocal blend and skillful musicianship, along with engaging quips and banter, result in a delightful and entertaining experience for audiences of all ages. This is music steeped in the legacy of the Louvin Brothers, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Hank Williams, Sr., and of course, their personal friend and mentor, Merle Haggard.

There’s a new generation of women burning down the Nashville music industry. Powerful voices like Margo Price and Nikki Lane have been rewriting the script, owning their own songs and vision. Now, add to this list Washington State Americana songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews. After a decade spent at the height of the music industry, touring solo and with large pop bands, she realized her desire for a place to come home to. She found that in a small rural town in the deep forests of Washington State. There, she posted up at a local bar, slinging drinks, basking in the simplicity and reflection it allowed. She has emerged in 2016 with a new fire on Honest Life, melding indie-folk and Americana with a rebellious country flavor reminiscent of her Southwestern roots.

The Silks are a rare breed. The Providence-based power trio is known to tear up the stage with Southern rock fury one minute, then silence the crowd with some fine country picking the next. The group developed their chemistry the old fashioned way, the bar band way, playing marathon shows encompassing two 90 minute sets of all original material. They are releasing “Turn Me On” (the follow-up to their Paul Westerberg-produced debut) on July 29th. The self-produced new effort is a natural progression as these ridiculously talented men explore the junction of country, blues and rock n’ roll. Video for "Live and Learn": https://vimeo.com/167439117/45e450418c "Let It Ride opens the album with southern rock to the bone, showcasing the band’s intimate grasp of musical dynamics, culminating in a powerful, psychedelic lead guitar. “Blue” is a spare down-tempo tune – the harmonica kicks off a reflective song that shares equals parts of country and blues. Closing it out is “All Day”, which features a classic garage fuzz guitar riff, and Kelly howling a refrain that announces to the world that he was “…born this way”.  Courtesy EB Media NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (Friday, July 8, 2016) – Songstress Caitlyn Smith has spent the last several years behind the curtain, penning songs for artists such as Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, Cassadee Pope, Kenny Rogers, Meghan Trainor and more.

The five tracks, each co-written by Smith, are a sampling of what’s to come from the expectant mother’s full-length album. Ranging from the heart-wrenching, break-up ballad “Do You Think About Me” to the resilient title track, “Starfire,” the five songs, available everywhere digital music is soldand streamed, ranges the spectrum.
