SIGNS TO SONY MUSIC NASHVILLE

Rising singer-songwriter Dylan Marlowe debuted his new track, “Record High,” today. Listen here. The release arrives on the heels of Dylan’s announcement that he has signed a record deal with Sony Music Nashville in conjunction with Play It Again Entertainment.

Dylan, who is one of Spotify’s 2023 Hot Country Artists to Watch, penned “Record High” alongside Zach Abend, Abram Dean, and Tyler Collins.

“One night it was super late and my roommate tossed out the phrase ‘record high,’” Dylan said. “We started writing right then and kinda flipped what you normally think of when you think of a record high, and wrote it in a negative sense about a breakup in the absolute worst way it could be done. I’m so proud of how everything came together for this song. It’s for sure one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written.”

The Statesboro, Georgia native found his way to Nashville just before the start of the pandemic but made lemonade from lemons, filling his days with songwriting, networking, and finetuning his craft. In 2020, Dylan signed a publishing and artist development deal with hit songwriter and publisher Dallas Davidson’s Play It Again Entertainment. After Dylan shared a performance of his countrified rewrite of the Olivia Rodrigo hit “Driver’s License” to social media, people really started paying attention. The clip immediately quadrupled his TikTok following and has racked up over a million views on YouTube to date. The enthusiasm surrounding the track prompted him to release it to streaming services, followed by his own infectious tunes like “All About It,” “I’ll Keep The Country,” and his most recent track, “Why’d We Break Up Again.”

Now, with his recent opening stint on Cole Swindell’s tour under his belt along with his first No. 1 as a songwriter for Jon Pardi’s “Last Night Lonely,” Dylan has set the scene for a monumental takeoff in 2023. Drawing from influences like Kenny Chesney, Eric Church and Cody Johnson, Dylan is carving out his own creative niche that he’s filling with music that fans will readily identify with the name Dylan Marlowe.

Fusing her rural Ohio roots with life lived on both coasts, Elle King firmly sets her stakes in Nashville with the release of her new album “Come Get Your Wife,” out today and available here: https://ek.lnk.to/CGYW.

She co-wrote eight of the songs on the record that opens with a nod to her native Ohio. “It’s where I grew up, it’s where I learned about music,” said King.  “It’s about rural living and my foundation and it’s where my Paw-Paw and my brother live. Ohio made me who I am”

Truth and humor permeate the album and are on full display in the already released and current Top 40 single “Worth A Shot,” feat Dierks Bentley, “Out Yonder,” “Tulsa,” “Try Jesus,” “Jersey Giant” and the smash #1, award winning song “Drunk (And I Don’t Want To Come Home),” with Miranda Lambert.

New songs releasing from the record include the raw and powerful “Love Go By” (performance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Jan 26) and the gratitude infused “Lucky,” that she wrote with a heart full of gratitude and reflection about her life, career and most importantly, her son Lucky her (performance on Good Morning America on Jan 27). “Lucky,” is also featured in a brand new music video available Friday. View here: https://ek.lnk.to/Lucky

There’s no better place to celebrate new music than with the fans and that party kicks-off February 14 in New Orleans with her headline “A-FREAKIN-MEN” Tour Presented by Slow & Low. “I have put all of my energy and love into this album, and I cannot wait to share it live for everyone.” Ten markets are sold out already and tickets for other dates are selling fast!  

King’s live show is a “… showcase for her range from soulful crooning to guttural singing and head-banging to the rock and roll sound of the drumming and electric guitar solo,” said the San Francisco Riff. American Songwriter Magazine highlighted her performance as one of the “8 Moments We loved at This Year’s Pilgrimage Festival. They noted, “She showcased her rock roots and her country twang on Sunday afternoon with a set that washed an air of levity over the crowd.” 

King and her band bring a full set of new music and hits to the stage which include her smashes “Ex’s & Oh’s,” “Drunk (And I Don’t Want To Go Home),” “Different For Girls,” “America’s Sweetheart,” and more.  King is offering tickets as well as VIP meet & greet packages at every show which are available to purchase at ElleKing.com.

RECORD-BREAKING STADIUM WORLD TOUR KICKS OFF 
THIS SPRING

“GROWIN’ UP AND GETTIN’ OLD” DEBUTS TODAY

“one of music’s mightiest voices and a hitmaking force arguably unlike any seen out Nashville this century”—USA Today

“a superstar who is shaping the future of the genre while also serving as one of its fiercest defenders”
—The Washington Post

January 27, 2023—Just nine months after his 3x Grammy-nominated record Growin’ Up was released, reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs is back with a new companion album, Gettin’ Old, March 24 via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville(pre-order here).

Combs will also perform during the live awards ceremony, which airs next Sunday, February 5 on CBS. 

Reflecting on the album, Combs shares, “This album is about the stage of life I’m in right now. One that I’m sure a lot of us are in, have been through, or will go through. It’s about coming of age, loving where life is now but at the same time missing how it used to be, continuing to fall for the one you love and loving them no matter what, living in the moment but still wondering how much time you have left, family, friends, being thankful, and leaving a legacy. Me and so many others have poured their hearts and souls into this record, and I hope you love it as much as we do.”             

Produced by Combs, Chip Matthews and Jonathan Singleton, Gettin’ Old is Combs’ fourth full-length album following 2022’sGrowin’ Up, 2019’s 3x Platinum What You See is What You Get and his 4x Platinum debut, This One’s For You.

RCA Nashville/Sony Music Nashville vocalist Andrew Jannakos released his latest track, “Gettin’ There,” today. Listen here.

“‘Gettin’ There’ is a song about vulnerability and working towards something better,” Jannakos said. “It’s about realizing that you may not be in the best spot, and that’s ok, but you can always keep working towards something greater. It’s also about those friends and family that are there with you no matter what, which we all need.”

He added, “We all are either going through something, or know of someone who is and I hope folks can listen to this song and allow it to help them to keep going, to keep working towards that better place.”

“Gettin’ There” is Jannakos’s follow up to recently released “Heaven’s Like A Hometown,” which CMT praised that it not only shows off his “colorful knack for songwriting, but [also] his robust vocals made for the radio,” while Country Now deemed the song “a slice of nostalgia with a whole lot of heart.” The Nash News added, “With a voice like Jannakos,’ one can never go wrong.”

Last month Jannakos was surprised with a Gold-certification plaque for his explosive debut single “Gone Too Soon” while he was on stage at his sold-out hometown show in Flowery Branch, GA. Upon the official release of the song, Jannakos earned a #1 debut on Billboard’s Emerging Artist Chart, while the track landed at #12 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and within the Hot 100. “Gone Too Soon” has amassed over 90 million on-demand streams to date.

RELEASES VISUALIZER FEATURING PAST AND CURRENT FOOTAGE OF THE TRIO

WATCH HERE

CURRENTLY ON TOUR WITH KANE BROWN IN EUROPE & THE UK

Rising trio Restless Road (Zach Beeken, Garrett Nichols and Colton Pack) release an uplifting new ballad and visualizer for “On My Way” today (listen here/watch here).  The deeply personal song was written by Beeken, Nichols and Pack as well as Kyle Clark and Lindsay Rimes and produced by Dann Huff while the visualizer features old footage of the harmony-driven trio as well as them over the past few years on their journey together.

“‘On My Way’ is a song we wrote as a reminder to ourselves that it’s okay to be a work in progress. It’s okay to not have all of the answers. It’s okay to fail,” says Zach while Garrett echoes, “we want fans to take away that it is perfectly normal to not be perfect, and that it is important to embrace and be true to yourself.”  Colton says of writing the song, “it’s one of the most vulnerable songs we’ve ever written. It helped us through one of the most uncertain times of our life, so we wanted to release this song and we hope that it can help other people too.”

But I’m on my way, wherever I go

I’ll keep on walking this long, winding road

And I ain’t afraid to love or to change

And be someone better than I was yesterday

I ain’t there yet (I ain’t there yet) but I’m on my way
I’m on my way, oh

The 30-city headline tour reached  fans all across the US including Nashville, TN, Chicago, IL, San Martin, CA, Boise, ID, Seattle, WA and more.

DEBUT, SELF-TITLED ALBUM ARRIVING FEB. 17 – TRACK LISTING AVAILABLE NOW

Arista Nashville/Sony Music Nashville rising star Nate Smith released a brand new track today, “Wreckage.” The song will appear on his debut, self-titled album arriving Feb. 17. Listen to “Wreckage” and pre-add/order/save the full-length project HERE.

Written by Nate alongside Mary Kutter, Chris Sligh and Paul Wrock, “Wreckage” first captivated fans when he shared part of the song on his social media platforms, growing his collective following by 270k+ since the first time he previewed the track. The gripping and emotive song will be featured on his upcoming, self-titled album along with his current Gold-certified single “Whiskey On You,” which is Top 15 and climbing at country radio, as well as recent releases “I Found You” and “I Don’t Wanna Go To Heaven.”

Nate shared about the impending full-length project: “It has been so much fun making this album, and I really believe in every one of these songs. Releasing an album has always been a goal of mine, but at the end of the day it’s really not about me. It’s about being able to reach other people with music that means something.” He added that his mission with his music is to be a “conduit of hope”; a selfless and passionate driving force that’s thematic in his songs. “I’m not trying to be cool, or reinvent the wheel, or chase musical trends…I’m going after the heart of the matter.”

Nate’s journey to Nashville and the challenges he endured along the way are traceable in his gravelly tone, including losing his hometown of Paradise, CA to Camp Fire, the deadliest and most destructive fire in the state’s history. Following the fire, Nate turned to music to cope, eventually inspiring a cross-country road trip to Nashville to pursue music fulltime. Coincidentally, the announcement of his debut album arrived on the four-year anniversary of the start of the fire (Nov. 8, 2018). 

Through all the hardships, the rising star found purpose and hope. Like Nate, the 20-song collection is honest, raw, real, and threaded together with optimism. While each song tells its own story, Nate unveils two sides of his artistry through the project: deep, heartfelt ballads and fun-loving, drink in the air, country jams. The two are intertwined with undeniable hooks and his signature velvet thunder vocals.

Nate will be joining Thomas Rhett on his HOME TEAM TOUR 23, which will kick off May 4 in Des Moines, IA, and will hit a total of 40 cities next summer. Tickets are on sale now. Additionally, Nate was recently named the final member of the Grand Ole Opry’s NextStage Class of 2022, where he’ll take the stage on November 20 for their Opry NextStage Live In Concert, presented by Geico, alongside other 2022 NextStage artists Elvie Shane, BRELAND, Restless Road, and Conner Smith.

BLAKE SHELTON EXECUTIVE-PRODUCED FLICK PREMIERES NOV. 26

CCMA Entertainer of the Year and ACM Award winning singer, songwriter, and performer Tenille Townes will make her acting debut in Hallmark Movies & Mysteries new original “Time for Him to Come Home for Christmas.”

“Growing up in my house at Christmas time, we always had the Hallmark channel on. It always set the scene for the holiday season, and this is truly such a cool full circle,” said Townes. “It was an honour to be a part of this and it was such a fun experience getting to say a few lines and put on a concert in a movie for the first time! The entire crew and cast were lovely to work with and I loved learning how it all comes together. Can’t wait to celebrate the holidays, being a part of this movie this year!”

Starring Holland Roden (“Mayans M.C.”) and Tyler Hynes (“Letterkenny”), “Time for Him to Come Home for Christmas” is a new original premiering Saturday, November 26 (10 p.m. ET/PT) on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries as part of the network’s annual “Miracles of Christmas” programming event. The movie is the fifth installment from executive producer Blake Shelton, based on the book Time for Me to Come Home by Dorothy Shackleford and Travis Thrasher, and Shelton’s song of the same name, which Townes performs during the film.

The film begins four days before Christmas when Elizabeth Athens (Roden) receives a voicemail from a number she doesn’t recognize. On it, a man she doesn’t know makes one final plea to the love of his life for a second chance, asking to meet on Christmas Eve at the unnamed spot where they first met.  Elizabeth realizes that this message is not meant for her, and the outcome of someone else’s love story is now in her hands. As she’s swept into the search for the mystery caller, she’s reunited with her best friend Josh (Hynes), who is home for Christmas for the first time in years after a tragic event in the past split them apart. On this very special Christmas, a wrong number will put Elizabeth on an exciting journey of romance and adventure that will give her and three other lost souls a second chance at happiness.

Townes recently wrapped both an acclaimed European tour and her SAME ROAD HOME TOUR throughout the U.S. Her west coast SIDE A + B TOUR will kick off in January.
