DELIVERS FIRST INSTALLMENT FROM THREE-PART DEBUT ALBUM ON 3/24

CURRENTLY SUPPORTING ADAM DOLEAC’S ‘BARSTOOL WHISKEY WONDERLAND’ TOUR

Columbia Records NY/Sony Music Nashville artist-songwriter Alana Springsteen finds her love life shifting into reverse for the end-of-the-road track, “shoulder to cry on,” available today (3/3) across all streaming platforms and digital retailers. Listen here. As featured on the first installment from her hotly anticipated three-part debut album, TWENTY SOMETHING, Messing It Up drops March 24 – pre-save/pre-add now.

“‘shoulder to cry on’ represents a very real low point in the Messing It Up phase of my debut album TWENTY SOMETHING. Desperation, sadness, yearning, loneliness, self-doubt … it’s all there in this one. We’ve all wanted someone we can’t have at one point or another and prayed for some form of relief. It’s an incredibly uncomfortable place to be. I’ve always had a hard time letting myself cry. Allowing myself to feel emotions in general has been a struggle for me,” shares Springsteen. “My ex and I had our last big fight parked in my car in a subdivision lot, and it marked the beginning of the end of that relationship. I’ve now realized that a lot of my fights, breakdowns, and tears have happened when I’ve been alone in my car. It’s a safe space for me to be vulnerable.”

Written by Springsteen with Liz Rose, Trannie Anderson, and AJ Pruis, the cleverly-penned Country ballad maps out a vivid picture of a romantic breakdown – one where the crash-and-burn trauma comes well after the wreck. Full of highway-riding double entendre, she details two hearts heading off in different directions and the emotional fumes of being left behind: “This heart’s about to break / right on the interstate / I ain’t gonna make it home / So I’m pullin’ over / Cause I need a shoulder to cry on.” Featuring the weary, desolate sound of a midnight roadside, with beautiful yet distraught vocals and pounding drums to match her pounding heart, “shoulder to cry on” was produced by Chris LaCorte and Springsteen. Perfectly capturing an unexpected turn, strings and steel guitar breeze by as Springsteen’s relationship fades away like taillights in the dark. Watch the visualizer.

“It was important to me that the production on this one wasn’t too bare. I think it would have been easy to give it a really broken down, singer-songwriter feel, but this is a very emotional song for me, and I wanted it to take you on a ride. There’s nothing calm or controlled about the feelings this song represents,” adds Springsteen. “When that chorus hits, it’s completely desperate and I wanted the instrumentation to reflect that. The opposite is true for the bridge. It’s possible to scream, ‘I need a drink but damn it I’m drivin’’ in a moment where you lose control, and it’s also possible to whisper the words when you’re lost and on the verge of giving up with tears streaming down your face. This song represents both sides of that spectrum.”

“shoulder to cry on” follows Springsteen’s first release, “you don’t deserve a country song,” off TWENTY SOMETHING: Messing It Up, which turned heads as the statement-making introduction with spotlights in Billboard’s Makin’ Tracks and January Country Rookie of the Month, Entertainment Tonight’s New Music Releases, among others. “Alana Springsteen Takes Back Her Power,” applauded American Songwriter, as Billboard dubbed it a “confidence bolstering jam,” and Country Now raved, “She chose to come out with a bang.” MusicRow further hailed, “Is this the greatest country song title or what?” Check out the music video premiere of the “empowering, toe-tapping banger” with CMT here.

Currently supporting Adam Doleac’s ‘BARSTOOL WHISKEY WONDERLAND’ Tour, Springsteen is next jetting for a three-show run of European arenas as part of CMA Presents Introducing Nashville during C2C: Country to Country 2023 (March 10-12). Find a full list of tour dates and ticketing information here.

GAMBLES ON POUR DECISIONS WITH TITLE TRACK DROPPING MARCH 10

Sony Music Nashville/Columbia Records’ rising star Megan Moroney is announcing today (3/2) that her debut album, LUCKY, drops May 5 and fans can pre-save/pre-add now. Gambling on pour decisions, the luck-struck title track is the next taste of the hotly anticipated project and will release March 10.

“After we wrote the title track ‘Lucky,’ I knew I wanted it to be the name of my debut album,” shares Moroney. “If you know anything about me and my story, a lot of things (both good and bad) happened to get me to where I am today, and I just feel very lucky. I couldn’t live out this dream without the support of my fans, family, and team. I can’t wait to bring these songs on the road with me this year and I hope everyone loves them as much as I do!”

Co-written by Moroney with Casey Smith, Ben Williams, and David “Messy” Mescon, the Kristian Bush-produced “Lucky” follows her latest hit “I’m Not Pretty,” which has Billboard raving about “a cheeky, defiant clapback,” and MusicRow applauding, “This clever, femme-centric ditty confirms her status as a first-class, off-center, wonderfully creative Country artist.” Catapulting onto the scene with her viral breakout “Tennessee Orange,” the Top 25-and-climbing at Country radio track was recently the #1 weekly streamed song by a solo female Country artist and has amassed nearly 140 MILLION total global on-demand streams to date. 

Praised byCMT as the “musical risktaker with powerhouse pipes,” Moroney is a part of the CMT Next Women of Country Class of 2023 and was named a “2023 Artist to Watch” by Amazon Music, Pandora, Spotify, and more. Spotlighted as one of SiriusXM’s “2023 Future Five,” Holler further predicted, “Megan Moroney has a smooth, honeyed voice that combines with a casual, conversational charm to make her one to watch in 2023.” 

Kicking off her first headlining PISTOL MADE OF ROSES TOUR next month, she’s also slated to support Country music icons Brooks & Dunn this summer. For full tour dates and ticketing information, visit meganmoroney.com.

NEW COMPANION ALBUM GETTIN’ OLD OUT MARCH 24

RECORD-BREAKING WORLD TOUR BEGINS NEXT MONTH

“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

Country superstar and reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs’ new song, “Joe,” written by Combs, Erik Dylan and James Slater, is out today. Listen/share HERE.

Of the song, Combs shares, “There have been some folks in my family that have struggled with alcoholism and addiction through the years, I’ve got buddies who live a sober lifestyle, and I’m sure y’all know someone who has struggled with these types of things, or maybe you yourself do. This song is really important to me for that reason. Our genre has so many songs about drinking and partying, hell, I’m probably one of the worst culprits of it. There’s nothing wrong with that I don’t think, but sometimes I wonder what someone in the crowd who doesn’t drink or struggles with addiction is thinking or feeling when there’s thousands of people around them screaming ‘Beer Never Broke My Heart’ or ‘1, 2 Many.’ I’ve always wanted a song for those people to have for themselves. To have a song they can sing at the top of their lungs and feel like they’re not forgotten. When Erik Dylan sent me the work tape of this a few years back, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. So, if you’re reading this and this song speaks to you, I hope you love it. This one’s for you.”

“Joe” is the third song unveiled from Combs’ new album, Gettin’ Old—a companion to his acclaimed 2022 record, Growin’ Up—which will be released March 24 via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville (pre-order here). Produced by Combs, Chip Matthews and Jonathan Singleton, Gettin’ Old is Combs’ fourth full-length album following Growin’ Up, 2019’s 3x Platinum What You See is What You Get and his 4x Platinum debut, This One’s For You. Across these eighteen tracks, including a rendition of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car,” Combs continues to establish himself as one of music’s most authentic and powerful voices, as he explores themes of family, legacy, love and personal growth.

Ahead of the release, Combs has unveiled two additional album tracks: “Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old” and “Love You Anyway,” of which The New York Times praises, “His bellow is more stable, his emotional presence more dignified. But there’s still something of a purring engine inside songs like ‘Love You Anyway,’” while Billboard declares, “it immediately sounds like one of his strongest to date.”

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.”           

Furthermore, Combs will kick off his massive World Tour next month with sixteen North American stadium shows, all of which sold out immediately. With 39 shows across 3 continents and 16 countries, the record-breaking run is the largest tour ever for a country artist. The upcoming trek includes shows at Arlington, TX’s AT&T Stadium, Nashville’s Nissan Stadium and Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium, as well as stops in Australia, New Zealand, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, France and Belgium. See below for complete tour itinerary.

A member of the Grand Ole Opry and an 8x CMA, 3x ACM, 3x Billboard Music Award-winner, Combs is in the midst of a historic series of years. Most recently, he was named CMA Entertainer of the Year for the second-consecutive year this past November and recently earned his record-setting, fourteenth-consecutive #1 single with “The Kind of Love We Make.” Continuing his monumental run at country radio, Combs’ current single, “Going, Going, Gone,” is currently top 3 and rising. Additionally, with his 2019 release, What You See Ain’t Always What You Get, Combs reached #1 on Rolling Stone’s Top 200 Albums chart, Top 100 Songs chart and Artists 500 chart—the first country artist ever to lead all three charts in the same week and first to top the Artists 500.

Born from a chance encounter in a stairwell, “The Thing That Wrecks You,” available everywhere now, brings reigning CCMA Entertainer of the Year Tenille Townes and GRAMMY Award winner Bryan Adams together on a vocal performance that matches the energy of the song’s lyrics, describing the moment love careens headfirst towards heartbreak. Listen HERE.
 
“I was recording a song for a Hallmark Movie in Vancouver last summer and found myself completely enamored by the recording space we were in,” remembers Townes. “Later in the day, I found out that it was Bryan Adams’ Warehouse Studio, and I actually ran into Bryan himself on the staircase on my way out. We talked for just a few minutes, and I was so happy to meet him because his path as a fellow Canadian has been incredibly inspiring to me, with a collection of songs that have impacted the world in such a huge way.
 
“Later that night, I thought about ‘The Thing That Wrecks You,’ a song I’d written a while before with Kate York and Daniel Tashian, and how the spirit of that song made me think about his voice,” she continues. “I decided to go out on a limb and sent him the song along with a letter asking if he might be up for singing on it with me. Fast forward to now, where not only have I gotten to sing with a hero of mine, but I have also found a mentor and friend through this whole adventure. This song is evidence to me that putting a wild thought out in the atmosphere and believing in it is a powerful thing.” 
 
Just shy of four minutes, the driving track produced by Townes and her band’s guitarist, Jaxon Hargrove, was recorded with her touring band joining her in-studio as well as with Adams adding his own guitar prowess to the song alongside his vocals. Trading opening lines, the pair come together for a stirring duet on the chorus:

        We’re running down a darker road
        Where even angels fear to go
        And stars fall like a lonely tear
        When they’re crashing through the atmosphere
        It looked just like a dream come true
        But love can lead you straight into
        The thing that wrecks you

About Kane Brown: 
Since the arrival of his self-titled, 2X Platinum debut album in December 2016, Kane Brown has ascended from social media notability to become one of country music’s most accomplished mainstays while continuing to expand the perception of country music and break musical boundaries. Named to the Time100 list of the most influential people in the world, Brown has released 3 studio albums, 3 EP’s, has over 13 billion streams, multiple Multi-Platinum, Platinum and Gold RIAA certifications, sold out arenas across the country, is the recipient of 5 American Music Awards, and was the first black solo artist to receive an ACM Award for Video of the Year for his emotionally charged hit single “Worldwide Beautiful.”

Known for his high energy on the stage, Brown has sold out arenas and festivals. In 2022, The Drunk or Dreaming Tour saw Brown perform sold-out arena shows across Australia, New Zealand and Canada, and he continues his tour in 2023 with U.S. dates including Fenway Park. He was also the most-nominated artist for the 2022 CMT MUSIC AWARDS.

With the release of Brown’s most recent album, Different Man, on September 9 2022, Brown took “his hitmaker status to the next level” (Associated Press), while The NY Times noted, “Kane Brown didn’t fit the country music mold. So he made his own.” Different Man debuted Top 2 on the Billboard Country Chart and includes the Platinum, #1 single “One Mississippi,” and #1 single, “Like I Love Country Music” which is his fastest rising #1 single in the U.S. while also being #1 at Australian Country Radio and #1 for 7 consecutive weeks at Canadian Country Radio.  His most recent single “Thank God,” featuring his wife, Katelyn Brown, accumulated over 10 million streams in the first week, a career high for Streams in First Week, and made history as the second country music married couple to hit #1 on the U.S. Country Radio Charts.

NOMINATED AND PERFORMING AT JUNO AWARDS

JUNO Awards nominee and reigning CCMA Entertainer of the Year Tenille Townes is expanding her acclaimed SIDE A + B TOUR with additional U.S. dates following multiple sell outs throughout Canada. Presale access is available now with public on-sale set for Feb. 24.

“Building an impactful live show that is a two-way street with the audience is imperative to me in gaining connection with my fans, which is one of my greatest reasons for making music,” said Townes. “I always want to bring something different every time I come to town and this Side A + B tour is my explanation to the fans of both sides of who I am.”

With all but one Canadian date sold out, Townes earned rave reviews for the original SIDE A + B trek as Concert Addict marveled the show was “a night for the ages. The rising country star brought her A-game, and the fans were fully invested in the experience. The concert featured a mix of original songs, classic covers and surprise moments, and Townes’ connection with the mob of music lovers was truly special,” as Soundcheck echoed “She doesn’t just seem to be genuine and true; she is the real deal and no flash in the pan. She’s more than the next big thing. She already is a huge star.” Watch footage from Townes’ captivating live show here.

The lauded singer and songwriter’s most recent project, Masquerades, released in 2022 via Columbia Nashville/Sony Music Nashville in partnership with RCA Records, is nominated for Country Album of the Year at the 2023 JUNO Awards. Townes will perform during the broadcast ceremony on March 15 where she is also nominated for Songwriter of the Year.

APPEARED ON “THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON” WEDNESDAY – WATCH HERE

Today, breakout star Nate Smith dropped two new tracks from his upcoming self-titled, debut album, “Better Boy” and “Oil Spot.” Listen here. The full album arrives April 28.

Nate made his late-night TV debut Wednesday evening on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” where he performed his Platinum-certified, No. 1 single “Whiskey On You.” Watch his performance here.

The appearance arrives on the heels of the hit topping the country radio charts for two weeks in a row. Adding to the song’s accolades, “Whiskey On You” was also No. 1 on Canada’s country radio chart for six weeks – making the song the longest running No. 1 country debut by a male vocalist in their chart history.

Nate was recognized on multiple 2023 “Artist to Watch” lists this year including Amazon’s Breakthrough Artists to Watch, MusicRow’s Next Big Thing, CMT’s Listen Up, CRS New Faces, among others. With his first No. 1 under his belt and his debut album set to arrive April 28, Smith proves to be “powering through his own lane and will only go up from here” (MusicRow).

ate 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 adds 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.

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 this summer. Tickets are on sale now. For tour dates, tickets, and additional information, visit NateSmithOfficial.com.

NEW SONGS AVAILABLE NOW

KICKS OFF TOUR WITH HARDY; GOIN’ CRAZY SHOWS SLATED FOR MARCH

Jameson Rodgers celebrated his latest tour outing with two new songs as he drops “Goin’ Crazy” and “Holding Me Back” on the heels of kicking off the mockingbird & THE CROW Tour with HARDY last night. Listen to the new releases here.

While Rodgers confesses breakup and heartbreak songs are his favorite to write, “Goin’ Crazy” is an anthem for the levity of newfound love. Meanwhile, “Holding Me Back” details the difficulty of moving on from an all-consuming relationship that ends without closure. With a finger on the pulse of small-town living (and loving), Rodgers captures the layers of emotion through his songwriting, but never veers far from his rock-tinged sonics with heavy drums and driving guitars. These new offerings mark Rodgers’ first time working with producer David Garcia and follow “Heartbreak Highway” and “I’m on a Dirt Road,” released late last year. Rodgers also continues writing and recording the follow up to his debut album Bet You’re From a Small Town, released in 2021.

No stranger to the road, Rodgers continues his opening stint with HARDY tonight and tomorrow with a double-header in Grand Rapids, MI. He’ll also be joined by wife Sarah Allison Turner for THE GOIN’ CRAZY SHOWS March 23 (Louisville, KY), March 24 (Peoria, IL), and March 25 (Chicago, IL).

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Sony Music Nashville recording artist Karley Scott Collins continues to impress with her unique blend of Country music that honors the craft of songwriting as well as her bold vocal delivery on her latest release, “Petty in the 80s,” available everywhere today.

LISTEN TO “PETTY IN THE 80S” HERE

“I have a habit of really overthinking things in my life, especially when it comes to love,” shares Collins. “‘Petty in the 80s’ is about doing the exact opposite of that, just having fun, letting go, and letting yourself free fall. I’m a huge fan of Tom Petty and he’s always been a massive inspiration for the music I write, so it’s really cool and fun for me to get to reference and honor his music through this song.”

Collins has always been inspired by the past, whether it was rock-and-roll bands she heard through the radio waves as a child or stories she read in literature – making this new release an ode to her old soul influences. Penning the track with Brock Berryhill and Josh Miller, the songstress smoothly combines her vocal grit with a poetic spin to tell the tale of letting go of hesitation and free falling into love. Showcasing a new relationship’s excitement with lyrics about the perfect balance between flying and staying grounded, this is her first release of 2023.

The Lake City, Fla. native finds her comfort in songwriting, but her favorite moments are on stage performing her original tracks, most recently she hit the road with Nate Smith. Dubbed as “a true visionary” by Country Swag and backed by power teams at Sony Music Nashville, Sandbox Entertainment, CAA, and Warner Chappell Music the future of her career is undoubtedly bright.

Don’t miss Collins on Feb. 22 at the Girls of Nashville show at City Winery in Nashville co-hosted by songwriter Laura Veltz along with Heather Morgan and Mags Duval, tickets available here. Keep up with Collins on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook,YouTube, and her website.
