THE RISING RETURN WITH LAST FIRST LOVE Video to be premiered by The Boot on August 16 2016 Preview Stream “A glorious amalgamation of Rock, Country and Folk” – Jim Gellatly (XFM/Amazing Radio) “If you’re after big songs with big choruses then you could do little better” – R2 Magazine “Choruses and tunes which aim for anthem status.. The Rising are definitely a band to watch.” – Golden Plec “Anthemic choruses and a sound that fans of Keith Urban and Lady Antebellum will love” – Hotpress Magazine The Rising are a Country Rock/Country Pop band with a Pop/Rock influence from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Currently, the band are finishing off work on their sophomore album (due winter 2016), with recording sessions taking place between the band’s home base of Northern Ireland and also Nashville, TN (USA). The debut single from the upcoming album is “Last First Love” and will be premiered by The Boot on August 16 2016. Written by the band’s principle songwriters Chris Logan/Chantelle McAteer, it was recorded in Ireland/Nashville. Mixed by Grammy Nominated Mills Logan (Taylor Swift, Eric Pasley, Luke Bryan, Toby Keith, Kristian Bush) and Mixed by Pete Maher (U2, The Rolling Stones, Katy Perry, Damien Rice). The song recounts how everyone wants the feeling of their first love to last forever and the joy when it does. Of course, this can be a relationship or indeed apply to whatever your first love may be, for some that could be the love of music. This single marks the start of a whole new chapter for the band. Firstly, the band continues to grow musically from its debut album, building upon the ground laid down from the album with a glossier production and growth in the songwriting. Most notably however, are the changes in the bands line up with the addition of Chantelle McAteer on lead vocals. This change was a natural progression to the band with the wheels of this change being set in motion over a year earlier. Guitarist Chris Logan encountered Chantelle singing at a singer-songwriter night showcasing her own material. Soon after the two songwriters started working together with Chris producing Chantelle’s debut EP. However, the two continued to write songs non-stop simply for the joy of writing songs. It was while on a UK/Ireland tour with Jess & The Bandits (October 2015) that things were beginning to change. Cracks were starting to show and midway through this tour Chris sent Chantelle a text message asking her if she wanted to join the band. As soon as the band came off tour the two songwriters set about recording the next album for The Rising. The new lineup was introduced during two shows at this years Country 2 Country Festival at London’s O2 where the band played two showcase shows (Big Entrance Stage & Brooklyn Bowl). The rem aining lineup of the band is concreted with fellow founding member and Chris’ cousin Shane Watters on Drums, Brian Mellors (Bass) and Carla Crawford (Piano/Keyboards/Synths). The band’s Continue reading The Rising tease new single ‘Last First Love’ ahead of The Boot premiere on August 16→

CHRIS LANE’S HOT STREAK CONTINUES AS STEAMY STUNNER “FIX” TOPS BOTH COUNTRY RADIO CHARTS #1 Smash Leads Debut Album GIRL PROBLEMS Available Now Rising Star Makes Major League Appearance Throwing Out The First Pitch At The Chicago White Sox Game Yesterday (8/7) Courtesy of Big Loud Records/Photo By: Delaney Royer NASHVILLE, TN (August 8, 2016) – There’s no denying that everyone is getting their “Fix” of Big Loud Records’ genre-defying recording artist Chris Lane as his breakthrough single takes the #1 spot on both Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase charts this week. Marking Lane’s first #1 at country radio, the irresistible track has surpassed an impressive 22 million streams on Spotify and 4.5 million views on Vevo. Adding to the excitement, Big Loud Records proves it’s big-league with their first-ever single going straight to the top, an unheard-of start for a brand-new label. “My first #1 … doesn’t even feel real,” exclaims Lane. “Thank you country radio for giving me a chance, for playing this song, for believing in me, and making all of this possible. And, I can’t thank my Big Loud Records team and family enough for their hard work day in and day out. Here’s to hopefully many more to come!” “Fix” (written by Sarah Buxton, Jesse Frasure and Abe Stoklasa) is the lead single from Lane’s just-released debut album GIRL PROBLEMS, featuring jaw-dropping falsetto vocals with a modern R&B-meets-country twist. Named after the distinct thread of romantic obsession throughout the project, GIRL PROBLEMS was produced by studio ace Joey Moi (Florida Georgia Line, Jake Owen). Continuing his hot streak, Lane threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Chicago White Sox home game yesterday (8/7) before taking the stage to open for Rascal Flatts’ tour stop at Tinley Park in the Windy City. A competitive college baseball player, Lane was right at home on the field to kick off the game versus the Baltimore Orioles. Originally from Kernersville, North Carolina, Lane’s career began with the DIY album Let’s Ride, which charted on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart in 2012. He made his debut with the single “Broken Windshield View” in 2014, and has since earned rave reviews from ROLLING STONE’s “10 New Country Artists You Need To Know,” YOUNG HOLLYWOOD’s “Artist To Watch” list, HELLO! Magazine’s “People You Will Be Talking About” and GLAMOUR’s “Music We Love.” Early believers and tour partners include Florida Georgia Line and Dustin Lynch, and Lane’s Fix EP was released in late 2015, debuting in the Top 25 of Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and at No. 4 among Heatseeker albums. He’ll be opening shows for Rascal Flatts on the RHYTHM & ROOTS tour with Kelsea Ballerini all summer.

Brent Cobb’s “Solving Problems” live acoustic video premieres at American Songwriter

BRENT COBB’S “SOLVING PROBLEMS” LIVE ACOUSTIC VIDEO PREMIERES AT AMERICAN SONGWRITER MAJOR LABEL DEBUT SHINE ON RAINY DAY TO BE RELEASED OCTOBER 7, PRODUCED BY DAVE COBB FALL TOUR WITH ANDERSON EAST CONFIRMED, SUPPORTING CHRIS STAPLETON IN NASHVILLE “…A GORGEOUS SOLO ALBUM THAT PROMISES TO PLACE HIM IN THE TOP ECHELON OF THIS CENTURY’S YOUNG TROUBADOURS…” A new live acoustic video of Brent Cobb performing “Solving Problems” is premiering today at American Songwriter and can be viewed/shared HERE. “Solving Problems” is the lead track from Cobb’s anticipated major label debut, Shine On Rainy Day, which is out October 7 on Low Country Sound/Elektra Records (pre-order). Already receiving acclaim, NPR Music’s Ann Powers praises, “‘Solving Problems’ is emblematic of the calm insights Cobb offers on Shine On Rainy Day, an album genuinely worthy of comparisons to often-invoked names like Jesse Winchester and Kris Kristofferson.” Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, etc.), the album was recorded live over four days in Nashville. In celebration of the release, Brent will embark on an extensive tour this fall supporting Anderson East and, on October 15, will join Chris Stapleton for a special show at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheatre. See below for complete details. Of the music and working with producer (and cousin) Dave Cobb, Brent comments, “It’s not as good as it’s going to get. But if it’s the last thing that I ever do, if I died the day after it came out, then thank God I was able to record it because the songs and the production, it was everything I wanted to say. Finally.” Dave adds, “I wanted to work with Brent for very selfish reasons. When he lifts a pen and opens his mouth, it sounds like home. I did his record because he’s part of the fabric of South Georgia and the soundtrack to my family. Pure rural country soul filled music.” Already receiving notice, Brent was recently featured on WXPN’s World Café (listen to the full session here), while Rolling Stone featured him as one of their “30 Must-See Acts” at CMA Fest 2016, asserting, “Live, he’s every bit the charming raconteur, setting up catchy rural anthems that have the loose and earthy feel of a front porch sing-along.” Additionally, earlier this year, Brent was featured on Dave’s widely praised Southern Family compilation—contributing the song “Down Home” and writing the standout “Sweet By & By,” which was recorded by Miranda Lambert. Of “Down Home,” Wide Open Country declares, “…one of the most earnest and accurate retellings of everyday life in rural Georgia. The mixture of Cobb’s charming southern drawl, brilliant storytelling and flawless production melds into a track that is impossible to resist.” Born in Ellaville, GA (population 1,609), Brent moved to Nashville in 2008 and has since found widespread success as a writer with songs recorded by Lambert (“Old Shit”), Kenny Chesney (“Don’t It”), Luke Bryan (“Tailgate Blues”), David Nail (“Grandpa’s Farm”), Kellie Pickler (“Rockaway”) and Eli Young Band (“Go Outside and Dance”) Continue reading Brent Cobb’s “Solving Problems” live acoustic video premieres at American Songwriter→
