TRACE ADKINS TO DEBUT NEW SINGLE “LIT” ON FOX & FRIENDS’ ALL AMERICAN SUMMER CONCERT SERIES THIS FRIDAY TV Debut of New Single as “Lit” Goes Live on iTunes, Spotify on Friday, July 1 CLICK TO LISTEN TO “LIT” NOW (June 29, 2016 – Nashville, TN) – This Friday, get ready to slap your grandmas as Trace Adkins gives his first TV performance of new single, “Lit,” during his Fox & Friends’ All American Summer Concert Series. As the big man kicks off July Fourth Weekend with this outdoor mini-concert, “Lit” will become available at iTunes and all other digital retailers and streaming partners. Listen to “Lit” now: http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/fox-and-friends/blog/2016/06/28/listen-trace-adkins-latest-single-lit The new single is a stomp-along that takes Adkins back to his Badonkadonk best as he counts down the things that get him fired up. Granny’s back (this time she’s drunk, playin’ Bingo), Grandpa’s fishin’ with dynamite, there’s a little “Sunday morning brimstone from a Pentecostal pastor,” and, “Keith Richards stoned on Rock ‘n Roll tearin’ up that Telecaster.” Of course, nothing revs up this cowboy more than his girl, “slide on over, move a little closer with that four-alarm, fire-engine-red on your lips. So hot, you got me smokin’, girl you got it goin’ on, you’re the only one with the kiss that gets me lit.” “Lit” was written by Mickey Jack Cones, Monty Criswell and Derek George. It follows “Jesus and Jones,” as the second single by Adkins as he makes his return to music with Wheelhouse Records (BBR Music Group). Both singles will be on Adkins’ forthcoming album release, details to be announced. ABOUT TRACE ADKINS: Trace Adkins roared back into 2016 with the release of “Jesus and Jones,” and “Lit,” his first two singles with BBR Music Group’s Wheelhouse Records. In the first, he walks the line between Saturday night and Sunday morning is an instant classic from a man with an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other. It’s par for the course from Adkins, whose trademark baritone has powered countless hits and sold over 10 million albums, cumulatively. The hit list includes “You’re Gonna Miss This,” “Ladies Love Country Boys,” “Songs About Me,” “Every Light In The House,” “Hillbilly Bone” (Blake Shelton & Trace Adkins), and “Just Fishin’,” to name a few. The Grammy-nominated member of the Grand Ole Opry is a TV personality, actor, author and spokesman for the American Red Cross, for whom he raised over $1.5 million dollars as winner of NBC’s All-Star Celebrity Apprentice. Thus far, Adkins has performed 11 USO Tours. In his 2007 autobiography, A Personal Stand: Observations and Opinions from a Freethinking Roughneck, the former oil-rigger recounted his rise to fame, brushes with death, and battles with personal demons. Trace has played a tough as nails biker in The Lincoln Lawyer (starring Matthew McConaughey) and a wise tattoo artist in the family-friendly Moms’ Night Out (starring Patricia Heaton, Sean Astin, Sarah Drew).

New Music From Darius Rucker!

Posted on by

DARIUS RUCKER REVEALS NEW MUSIC, “IF I TOLD YOU”  New single makes world premiere on iHeart Radio today; released to all streaming and digital retail services   Nashville, Tenn. – Darius Rucker knows that in order to move people, there has to be vulnerability and authenticity in the message. Rucker first demonstrated his ability to expose that underlying raw emotion with the first of his seven No. 1’s, “Don’t Think I Don’t Think About It” from his Platinum Learn To Live and most recently in “So I Sang” from Southern Style. With our first taste of new music in “If I Told You,” Rucker unveils a heartfelt new track worldwide today on iHeart Radio. Expected to be the first cut from his fifth major label country album for Capitol Records Nashville, the song is also available today on streaming and digital retail services. “I always tell people, the first time I heard [the Black Crowes’] ‘She Talks To Angels,’ those lyrics did something to me. I probably requested that song eight times at different bars in Columbia, S.C. before going home, putting on Bonnie Raitt’s Home Plate, and trying to write ‘She Talks To Angels’ for Bonnie Raitt. ‘Let Her Cry’ just poured out,” shares Rucker. “For me, ‘If I Told You,’ inspired me like ‘Angels’ as it’s not a song I wrote, but as a songwriter I would not change a line as it moves me to want to not only sing along but also as a songwriter it inspires a new perspective.”  In his inaugural project with producer Ross Copperman, “If I Told You” also marks the first time Rucker has worked with Copperman’s co-writers on the single, Jon Nite and Shane McAnally. “What I love about each album is the opportunity to expand on what we’ve done in the past—to push myself and the band creatively, vocally and lyrically,” adds Rucker. “At the end of the day, I’m a fan of great stories and great songs. With ‘Wagon Wheel’ I loved the visual it painted and it’s a song I can truly say I look forward to performing every night. With ‘If I Told You,’ I can’t wait to share in that vulnerability with the fans from the stage night-after-night.” Rucker is currently on his U.S. Good For A Good Time Tour; upcoming dates are as follows: Thursday, July 7 | Englewood, Colo. | Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre Friday, July 8 | Albuquerque, N.M. | Isleta Amphitheatre Saturday, July 9 | Phoenix, Ariz. | Ak-Chin Pavilion Friday, July 15 | Mountain View, Calif. | Shoreline Amphitheatre Saturday, July 16 | Irvine, Calif. | Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre Friday, July 22 | Holmdel, N.J. | PNC Bank Arts Center Saturday, July 23 | Hartford, Conn. | XFINITY Theatre Sunday, July 24 | Wantaugh, N.Y. | Nikon at Jones Beach Theatre Friday, July 29 | Bangor, Maine | Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion Saturday, July 30 | Mansfield, Mass. | Xfinity Center Sunday, July 31 | Darien Center, N.Y. | Darien Lake Performing Arts Center Friday, Aug. 12 | Bristow, Va. | Jiffy Lube Live Saturday, Aug. 13 | Camden, N.J. | Continue reading New Music From Darius Rucker!→

An excerpt from the interview follows: Bentley: “I just work on writing songs and see if something sticks…I wrote the song “Black” which really became the cornerstone of this album.  A lot of the songs I was writing or choosing to record were…autobiographical or personal, but then other ones I just felt like I was taking advantage of the fact that I’m a songwriter and just creative freedom to explore someone else’s shoes…just exploring parts of my heart that I can’t explore…So I wouldn’t call it a concept record.  For me there’s a personal thread that goes throughout the whole thing but I would never want to impose that upon another person’s listening. I hope they can find their own thread in it.” In excitement about joining PodcastOne, Shiflett said, “I couldn’t be more excited to join the PodcastOne network.  I’ve got a laptop full of interviews and we’re booking more every day, so 2016 is going to be a busy year for Walking The Floor.” Norm Pattiz echoed these sentiments: “It’s great to have the talents of Chris now on PodcastOne.

LITTLE BIG TOWN TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM WANDERLUST ON CAPITOL RECORDS NASHVILLE PRODUCED BY PHARRELL WILLIAMS Group to Debut New Song, “One Of Those Days,” Tonight on the Season Finale of “The Voice;” Song Available on iTunes, Spotify and All Digital Service Providers Now NASHVILLE, TN – MAY 23, 2016 – Grammy Award-winning group Little Big Town will perform the new song, “One Of Those Days,” tonight on the season finale of NBC’s “The Voice,” with the song available on iTunes, Spotify and all digital service providers now. [bctt tweet=”@LittleBigTown set to release #Wanderlust with producer @Pharrell. Debuting new track tonight on @NBCTheVoice “] Written by Little Big Town and Pharrell Williams, “One Of Those Days” will be the first song from the group’s new album, Wanderlust, produced by Pharrell, available Friday, June 10. From Capitol Records Nashville, Wanderlust will feature eight brand new songs from the group and the mega producer. “Wanderlust is the result of an incredible friendship and chemistry we have with Pharrell Williams,” said Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild. ”What started out as one writing session a few months ago turned into multiple writing sessions, as well as back and forth trips from Nashville to Los Angeles. When the songs started coming together, we realized it was too special to not share with our fans. Pharrell loves country music and is a huge fan of harmony. That shared passion and appreciation took us on a creative journey we had no idea would happen. The music feels like our worlds have collided in the best possible way – his infectious grooves paired with our layered vocals and harmonies. This music is meant to be danced to, sung along with and turned up loud. It’s uplifting and hopeful. We’ve been a band for a long time and have had the pleasure of collaborating with so many people, and it’s been a complete joy to make music with Pharrell!” “We had a great time working together because we all love harmonies and that’s a really fun way to make a record,” Pharrell added. “A lot of the songs were based on what the group were going through at the time and creating good feelings around those experiences.” Grammy Award-winning country group, Little Big Town — consisting of members Karen Fairchild, Phillip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman, and Jimi Westbrook — first entered the music scene more than 18 years ago with hits such as “Boondocks,” “Bring It On Home,” “Good As Gone” and Grammy-nominated single “Little White Church.” With albums Tornado and Painkiller, they have seen massive success with #1 singles “Pontoon,” “Tornado,” “Day Drinking,” and most recently the history-making, best-selling country single of 2015, with “Girl Crush.” In October of 2014, the group fulfilled a career milestone and lifelong dream when Reba McIntire asked them to become the newest members of the Grand Ole Opry; two weeks later, they were inducted. Little Big Town has earned over 35 award show nominations and in the past five years has taken home nearly 20 awards, including multiple Grammy, CMA and ACM Continue reading Little Big Town to Release New Album Wanderlust→
