August 14, 2026/in Blog, New Music, News /by Erica Zisman

Ashley Cooke delivers her brand new, self-titled sophomore album, Ashley Cooke, out now, August 14th on all streaming platforms. Learn more here and listen below.

Ashley Cooke has been a staple in the country music industry since bursting on the scene a few years ago. Since 2020, Cooke has shared her heart with fans, all while garnering a ton of well-earned accolades. Today, the singer-songwriter releases her sophomore album, a self-titled project featuring fifteen songs, including, “baby blues” and “johnny ‘n june.”

According to Cooke, this record is as personal as ever. “This record feels like a coming-of-age record disguised as a relationship album. I wrote a lot of it dead in the middle of real-life situations where I learned quite a bit about myself, so you’re getting the real, unpolished, recently-realized-truths in 15 tracks,”she shared in a recent press release. “It’s messy, self-reflective, indecisive, filled with honesty, double entendres and emotional duality (I’m a Gemini, duh). Overall, it’s my perception of love and allllll the chaos it entails.”

Ashley Cooke is an album that invites fans to get to know Cooke even more deeply. Each track is its own blend of honesty, catchiness, and deep emotional reverence. Cooke outdoes herself. Make sure you give the album a listen!

Who Is Madden Metcalf? The Story Behind His Journey to Country Music

August 10, 2026/in Blog, News, Swag Spotlight /by Erica Zisman

Who is Madden Metcalf? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising artist here…

Quick Facts:

Full name – Madden James Metcalf
Birthdate – 11/14/2005
Hometown – Panacea, Florida
Current city – Panama City Beach, Florida
Musical influences – Ella Langley, Parker McCollum, Jimmy Buffett
Label – Wexler Records / MCA

Current Single – “Sound Of The Summer” (as of date of article: 08/10/2026)

The Beginning:

Today’s spotlight artist has found a way to bring where he comes from into every part of his artistry. Florida native, Madden Metcalf is a true entertainer at heart. We chatted with the singer-songwriter about his upbringing, his music, and where he’s headed. Keep reading to learn more.

Growing up in Panacea, Florida, as a fourth-generation commercial fisherman, music was just as much a part of his childhood as life on the water. “My dad always had music playing, and I never understood why we loved music more than everybody else,” he shared.

It wasn’t until he was around ten years old that he started to understand just how much music meant to his family. After asking his dad why he loved country music so much, his answer changed the way the budding singer-songwriter listened to music from that point forward. “If a song can’t tell you a story, then you don’t need to listen to it,” he recalled his dad telling him.

From then on, he began paying closer attention to the lyrics and stories behind the songs he loved, unknowingly laying the foundation for the songwriter he would eventually become. His musical influences ran the gamut. His family listened to everything from Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, and Keith Whitley to Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, and Zac Brown. As he got older, Parker McCollum also became a major influence, particularly when it came to his appreciation for songwriting.

“It’s not really my sound, but just my love of songwriting,” he shared of McCollum’s influence. “It has to sound like a good song, songwriting-wise, for me to be in love with it.” Still, music wasn’t just something he loved listening to. From banging drumsticks on the bottom of laundry baskets and playing an out-of-tune guitar to singing karaoke in the living room, he always wanted to be the one putting on the show. “I wanted to be the entertainer,” he shared.

Now, getting to write songs, release music, and watch people connect with them feels like a full-circle realization of a dream he’s had since he was a kid.

The Turning Point:

While the Metcalf always loved entertaining, his path to becoming an artist happened rather unexpectedly. About a year and a half ago, he started sharing simple cover videos on TikTok. With only a few hundred followers, there was no elaborate strategy behind the posts, no editing, lyrics on the screen or fancy production. Metcalf was simply singing in his room.

As fate would have it, his now-manager happened to come across one of those videos while scrolling TikTok. Her husband, who would eventually become his producer, heard him singing from another room. “That kid, I like that,” he recalled him saying. From there, everything began to move quickly. He found a team that believed in both his music and who he wanted to be as an artist. About a year later, he met with MCA and eventually signed his record deal.

Having the right people around him has made the whirlwind even more special. “They’re more in it for the artist than the artistry,” he shared of his team. “A lot of people in this business just really, really care about the music and the artist.”

Soon after, he officially introduced himself to country music fans, releasing his debut single on his 20th birthday. Since then, it’s been full steam ahead.

Today:

Flash forward to today, the rising artist is showcasing exactly who he is with his debut EP, Saltwater Southern. The project’s title comes directly from his North Florida upbringing and the unique place he calls home. While many people picture cities like Miami or Orlando when they think of Florida, Panacea looks entirely different.

“Where the trees meet the water,” he shared, describing his hometown. “You put South Georgia and the Gulf Coast together. It’s like sandy, white beaches, and then a mile from the beach, it’s just straight woods.” That juxtaposition ultimately became the heart of Saltwater Southern.

Although he and his team already had a collection of songs ready for the project, he realized that if he was going to use a title that represented where he came from, the music needed to do the same. He ultimately swapped out three songs for newer ones that better showcased his artistry. “If we’re gonna title it Saltwater Southern, it’s got to be Saltwater Southern,” shared Metcalf.

The finished project allows fans to hear several sides of his sound, from the bluesy “Young Loretta” and beachy “Paradise” to the rock-driven “Long John Silver.” “It really got to showcase who I am as an artist and what I’m capable of,” he shared.

Most recently, the singer-songwriter shared “Sound of the Summer,” a nostalgic track inspired by summers spent on St. George Island. “I made a lot of bad decisions in high school,” he joked. “It was all just at that time, this sound of the summer, chasing friends, girls all around St. George Island, and just trying to do what everybody else is doing, have fun.”

After holding onto the song for nearly a year, finally getting to share it with listeners has made the track even more special. Looking ahead, fans can expect plenty more from the rising artist, including another new single, more writing, and plenty of time on the road.

Ben Gallaher ‘Taylor Gold’ – Acoustic Project Review

August 7, 2026/in Blog, New Music, News /by Nicole Piering

Ben Gallaher’s new project, Taylor Gold is out now, August 7th on all streaming platforms. Take a listen and read our full review below.

For Ben Gallaher, the heartbeat of his music has always come from his guitar. On his 2025 release, Time, that was evident as he played lead guitar on each track. Now, the singer-songwriter-guitarist returns with Taylor Gold, an acoustic companion EP that reimagines seven of that album’s best tracks. On Gold, he strips them down to their most organic origins, allowing both his unique voice and stellar musicianship to shine through.

Named after a favorite guitar, the Taylor Gold EP, allows Gallaher to truly flex his guitar skills. “Acoustic guitar was my first love and it’s what I’ve played the longest. I’ve played Taylor guitars specifically since 2011 and when I held my new Taylor Gold 514 for the first time, it just felt like home,” shares Gallaher. “That guitar had a heartbeat in it that wouldn’t let me put it down. It was full of untapped inspiration that I was discovering in real time. The more I played it, the more I wanted to reimagine and strip these songs down to their rawest, most organic form – and to create recordings that reflect how they sound when performed on my Taylor Gold guitar, which is why it became the name of the project.”

Produced by Neil and Patrick Thrasher, the collection features a mix of sunny warmth and stripped-down heartbreak. The EP opens with “I’ll Take You,” a song that feels perfectly suited for this acoustic treatment, as his voice floats over the melodies. In fact, this take is even more optimistic and sun-soaked than its full-band counterpart. Gallaher’s signature raspy vocals glide effortlessly over warm acoustic guitars, bringing an added tenderness to lyrics like, “I’ll take you over anybody any day, you like sunshine over rain. Your hand in my hand, whatever life throws my way, I’ll take you over anybody any day.”

Likewise, “Stomp” shines effortlessly in its lightened version. Originally built around a viral guitar lick, the track was a clear highlight in its original form, and remains a standout here. While it’s stripped down a bit, the song’s gritty, swamp-tinted soul remains, immediately enticing listeners to groove along between guitar chords and pulsing drums.

“Betcha Money” offers another especially fun moment, with the nostalgic tempo and twang of early 2000’s country music. Here, he’s ready to put money on turning his girl into a “country girl,” and it’s a perfect summer anthem with its catchy hook and breezy melody.

Meanwhile, “Still a Few Cowboys Left” remains true to its original form, allowing for a darker and more intense delivery, Gallaher’s Kip-Moore-esque rasp on full display. Here, he celebrates the everyday men and women who are pillars of society, never changing in a world that spins around them. Despite whatever happens, “there’s still a few cowboys left.”

For the happily-married Pennsylvania native, his voice channels heartbreak like a true vessel. On “Time,” he laments that it’s moving on without him, while “Where Do You Go” feels even more hopeless in its stripped down form. Here, the pluckiness of the acoustic guitar accentuates his brokenness, as he finds himself longing for the one who got away. “She’s on every corner, at the bottom of every glass,” he sings. “Where do you go, when your go-to’s gone?”

The EP concludes with “Love is Hard,” a fitting finale of isolated guitars and moody vocals that set the stage for a poignant finale. Here, he sets the mood with masterful guitar work that is only enhanced by his powerful vocal performance, proclaiming “Love is hard, but lonely’s harder.”

On Taylor Gold, Ben Gallaher proves that a good song can stand alone without heavy instrumentation or production. It allows his voice to shine in a way that few singers can, while also showing his strength as a guitar-man.

I’ll Take You
Stomp

Who Is Trey Lewis? The Story Behind His Journey to Country Music (2026)

August 3, 2026/in Blog, News, Swag Spotlight /by Erica Zisman

Who is Trey Lewis? The singer-songwriter joined us to chat about his journey to country music. Get to know the rising star here…

Trey Lewis // Photo credit: Mitch Wallis

Quick Facts:

Full name – Lewis Edward Thomas III aka Trey Lewis
Birthdate – 12/05/1987
Hometown – Birmingham, Alabama
Current city – Nashville Tennessee
Musical influences – Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean
Publishing – SONY Music Publishing
Current Single – “Dicked Down In Dallas” radio version, acoustic rendition & EDM remix with Deerock

The Beginning:

Today’s spotlight artist proves that sometimes music has the power to completely change a life. We first interviewed Trey Lewis in 2021, and in the last five years, a lot has changed, and yet, Lewis has truly found a home for himself in this crazy music industry.

Growing up in Birmingham, Alabama, Lewis was surrounded by music from an early age. Whether it was family beach trips or backyard get-togethers, music was always part of the occasion. His uncles played guitar, his mom set up elaborate karaoke machines, and Lewis happily sang along. “I always loved Garth Brooks as a kid and kind of wanted to be that,” he shared.

As he got older, his taste in music continued to grow. While country music was always a constant, Lewis found inspiration in artists across several genres. Along with country icons like Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, and one of his all-time favorites, Eric Church, he also gravitated toward singer-songwriters like Jason Isbell and Ryan Adams for their storytelling. “I’ve always been a fan of country music,” Lewis shared. “But there’s another side of me that really loves the singer-songwriter type stuff.”

Unfortunately, life took a difficult turn when Lewis was 14 years old. After his parents divorced, he found himself running with the wrong crowd and eventually battling drug and alcohol addiction. Following multiple stints in juvenile detention centers, Lewis entered rehab at 19 years old, spending two weeks in treatment before living in a halfway house for six months. Once he got sober, everything changed.

Working at a smoothie shop at the time, Lewis used half of one paycheck to buy his first guitar, while his grandfather covered the other half. “I always just say country music saved my life,” he shared. “I just celebrated 19 years of sobriety.”

Teaching himself to play quickly became more than a hobby. He began playing cover gigs around Birmingham four nights a week, making a living performing for anyone who would listen. While he loved being on stage, he eventually realized he wanted to do more than sing other people’s songs.”I really just wanted to know how to say what I wanted to say in three minutes,” he shared.

The Turning Point:

Armed with a desire to tell his own stories, Lewis made the move to Nashville, Tennessee. Nearly seven years after making the move to Music City, Lewis still doesn’t take any of it for granted.

Now a published songwriter with Sony Music Publishing, he says there are still mornings when he looks out at the Nashville skyline and can’t believe it’s real. “I just think about, ‘Man, I used to just dream about just being here,'” he shared. “This is my actual life.”

Now as an independent artist, the singer-songwriter has fully found a way to embrace all sides of his artistry, including his 2020 viral hit, “Dicked Down in Dallas.” The song helped launch his career in a way he never expected. Recently, the singer also released ne versions of the track including a killed EDM mix with Deerock. While the song opened countless doors, it also introduced fans to one side of Lewis as an artist, the rowdy, humorous side.

Over the years, Lewis leaned into that success, releasing more music that fit the same lane. After signing with River House Records, he released his Troublemaker album before eventually deciding to return to being an independent artist. Looking back, Lewis says every chapter served a purpose.

“I would never say that the Troublemaker record was a mistake,” he shared. “I really enjoyed that time,” however, the singer, added, “I feel like, for the first time in my artist career, I’m more focused. I kind of know what I’m doing.”

Today:

Flash forward to today, and Lewis is embracing every part of who he is as an artist.

While fans can still expect the humorous, tongue-in-cheek songs they’ve come to know from Trey Lewis, the singer recently introduced an entirely new project under the name Thomason, his real last name.

The project was born after Lewis realized he had another side of his songwriting that didn’t always fit alongside his party anthems. “I was like, ‘Man, what do I do with all these serious songs that I’ve written?'” he recalled.

Over the years, Lewis had written deeply personal songs, including “Three Feet Tall,” which was recorded by Cole Swindell, as well as cuts for Tracy Lawrence. Wanting a home for those more vulnerable stories, he and his manager created Thomason.

His debut EP, White Van, tells the story of rebuilding his life, from working at the treatment center where he was once a patient to buying the white van that helped launch his touring career after moving to Nashville.

“It’s been creatively freeing,” Lewis shared. “Now I know when I walk into the room… we can write a funny song… or we can dig in a little deeper and write something a little more heartfelt. Now I have a place for both of those things.”

Even his live show reflects both sides of his artistry. Lewis often begins songwriter rounds with the more introspective Thomason material before jokingly telling the audience, “Alright, now it’s time to get rowdy,” as he shifts into the Trey Lewis songs fans know and love.

Looking ahead, fans can expect plenty of new music from both projects. Lewis plans to continue releasing singles every six to eight weeks while balancing touring, songwriting, and creating music that reflects every part of who he is. Stay tuned!

Zach John King shares brand new song, “Hot To Not”, out now, July 31st, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

While 2025 was a monumental year for Zach John King, 2026 is shaping up to be an even more exciting year for the rising artist. King’s debut album I’m What You Get officially comes out on August 28th, and he’s already giving fans a taste of what’s to come. Today, the singer-songwriter shares brand new song, “How To Not,” out now.

Written by King alongside Kyle Fishman, Randy Montana, and Sasha Alex Sloan, “How To Not” takes an incredibly clever approach to heartbreak. Built around the traditions, values, and life lessons that have become second nature to him, the song flips those familiar sayings on their head, showing that moving on from someone you love isn’t quite as easy as it sounds. The mid-tempo track feels both effortless and deeply honest. King’s smooth vocals pair perfectly with the clever songwriting, making “How To Not” one of those songs that gets better with every listen.

Once again, King proves why he’s an artist to watch. Make sure to listen to “How To Not” and get ready for the debut album!
