This song has a message that could not have come at a better time. Gordie Sampson, Josh Kear and the artist herself wrote these lyrics with delicacy and a tender-heart in mind. On top of the poetry, Tenille Townes holds a gorgeous, vulnerable tone to narrate the tangled way of the world. “The Most Beautiful Things” acknowledges that what we feel and what we see may not always correspond with one another. Instead, our ability to feel will always surpass the strength in sight.
“So why do we close our eyes / When we pray, cry, kiss, dream / Maybe the most beautiful things in this life / Are felt and never seen”
While most of us are staying home to stop the spread of COVID-19, not able to see much of the world, this new release is a nice reminder that our souls, hearts, and minds are still with us. A lot has changed within the last month and a lot has been taken from us, but those moments of joy, love, and adoration have not left.
“The only way I know any of this / Can be true / Is the love I feel for you”
Though, this track comes at a time where the intent may be molded into something a little different, the concept remains the same. “We were all once a little kid, full of wonder, and seeing the beauty in anything. We were unafraid to be ourselves, relentlessly willing to dream the craziest of dreams because we weren’t scared of failing, or of what anyone else thought,” Townes explains as the inspiration behind the song. The contrast between being a child and an adult is extreme, though it’s important to rekindle the authenticity that comes with being a child since, through the years, it fades before our very eyes.
“I hope this song helps people remember what that felt like. Holding on to the love we have for each other and the most beautiful things around us, even in hard times, is what keeps that feeling alive. It makes me so thankful to get to put out this song right now in the times we are in.”
To go along with that notion, this beloved Canadian native filmed and edited a video to add a candid, first-hand glimpse of childhood. Townes’ cousin Evvy is captured on a playground in a park, doing things kids do.

Last Saturday (3/28) we hosted our first ever virtual Country Brunch over on our Instagram page with a few of our favorite artists. One of those artists that performed just to happened to be the incredible Filmore. We named him one of our 2019 Artists to Watch, and he continues to prove us right with each and every song released. Most recently the singer-songwriter premiered a personal track entitled “Me Lately.”
Each of Filmore’s songs has been different, yet featured intricate songwriting and rhythm you just cannot help, but to bop to. “Me Lately” checks both boxes. The new song tells the story about how the entertainer went through somewhat of a metamorphosis when he finally found the love he was looking for. He sings about a special lady giving him the confidence to love himself, all because she loves and accepts him for who he is.
Despite this incredible message, the first verse of the song is the standout. Filmore honestly shares his inner demons, singing lyrics like “Broke some hearts and let some bridges burn” and “Me and myself weren’t always on good terms.” The song is an anthem for a love that happens with the right person at the right time. All the stars align for Filmore in this song, and we think they will in his career too.
To learn more about Filmore, check out our Swag Session with the entertainer from earlier this year below, as well as, our review of his performance when he opened up for Lauren Alaina in New York City. If you have the chance, make sure you get your tickets to a Filmore show!

Canadian singer-songwriter, Jordan Ostrom, better known as Sykamore released a new extended play last Friday titled California King. This EP is a follow-up to her 2018 debut EP, Self + Medicine. Ostrom co-wrote all five tracks on the new record.
Sykamore grew up on a farm just outside of Calgary, Alberta, listening to the likes of country music icons, George Strait, Alan Jackson, and the Dixie Chicks. When she moved to Nashville, she signed with HOME Team Publishing, the company founded by Thomas Rhett and his father, Rhett Akins. Akins discovered her on Twitter and was quoted in saying “I read her name, I was curious…I saw her face, I was intrigued…I heard her voice, I was done.” California King, produced by ACM Award-winning producer, Michael Knox (Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson) is the first music to be released via Music Knox Records / Wheelhouse Records.
“Even before I started performing, music was always a means of escape for me,” Sykamore said in a recent press release. “I wanted to write a thank you to music for being a support system that was always there when I needed it.”
The first track, “Record High” is reminiscent of Eric Church’s “Record Year”, as Sykamore sings about how she uses her records as medicine to get her through difficult times. Sykamore has musical inspirations from many different genres and she refers to them in this track in a very creative fashion. Those artists include ACDC, Led Zeppelin, George Strait, David Lee Murphy, and Kenny Chesney, Gloria Gayner, Elvis Presley, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Elvin Bishop, Prince, The Beatles, and Hank Williams. Listen to the song and see if you can catch all the references!
“I got an Amarillo by morning to get me through the night / Everything’s gonna be alright, I will survive / I’m on a record high”
Another cleverly written track, “Where to Find Me” is about someone who has had such a bad day and gets so down on themselves to the point where they feel lost. However, there is one person who helps them feel better and regain who they really are. Lyrically, it sounds like a song written by rising singer-songwriter, HARDY because the chorus, like in most HARDY songs, uses a lot of assonances. In a song such as “He Went to Jared”, HARDY writes “See him sitting there with a white horse and carriage, nearly three karats. He went to Jared, I went to the bar,” he uses that “air” sound to create a great hook. In “Where to Find Me”, Sykamore doesn’t just rhyme the last word of each line, she uses assonance to make the chorus more fun and catchy.
“‘Cause when I’m down, I swear you can read my mind / ‘Cause you know where to find me / When I forget what I’m worth, you remind me / When I can’t find the silver lining / Yeah, your light, it comes shining through”
“Out of Luck” is the third track on the album and is definitely her most vulnerable one. This song goes beyond your usual “one who got away” love story; it gives it an interesting twist. The first verse/chorus is all about her and how she is dealing with the breakup. She sings “If you only get one – a single shot at love. If you only get one, then boy, I’m out of luck.” In the second verse/chorus, she discusses the guy on the other side of the breakup. In the verse, she sings “Are you happy with things or do you reach for me, when you’re half asleep and your feeling weak” and goes on to say in the chorus “If you only get one, then boy, we’re out of luck,” meaning she knows they both messed up and that they were really meant for each other.
The title track, “California King” is about the type of man who peaked in high school and still thinks he’s all that. He believes everyone should know his name and all the girls will catch feelings the instant they lay eyes on him. Sykamore can immediately see that in this man, cutting him down to size and not falling for any of his pick-up lies.
“You walk around like you deserve a crown / You think that I’ll free-fall, you’re so Tom Petty / Like I heard about you all over town / So get down off your white horse tonight / You’re such a California King”
The EP ends with the most fun, upbeat tune, “Local Singles.” This song would be perfect for your tailgate/pre-game playlist to get you and your friends ready to hit the town. Sykamore says that the reason the bars are buzzing is due to all the local single girls looking to go out and have a good time.
“We keep the neon flowin’ in those “Cold Beer” signs / We’re the only reason they don’t roll up the streets at night / This town would be a bust if it wasn’t for us / Your local singles, drinkin’ doubles”
There is clearly a lot of singing and song-writing talent here. With Sykamore signing to HOME Team Publishing and already being recognized as one of CMT’s “Next Women of Country”, we can foresee a future in which she goes from opening for Thomas Rhett on tour, to becoming one of the biggest, most influential women in country music.

It has been a tough few weeks for Nashville, for the country, and for the world. Small businesses are struggling to stay afloat, people are trying to rebuild their homes, many Americans are losing their jobs, and we are all forced to stay in as we fight through this pandemic. Despite all this turmoil, beauty and kindness have remained.
We decided to flip the script and shine our spotlight, while we can, on some of the kindness that we have witnessed from others because Kindness Isn’t Canceled. To grab your exclusive shirt, click here.
Today we have a story for all those animal lovers out there. Since we are all essentially stuck at home for the near future, New Yorkers turned out in droves earlier last month to support a cause that is near and dear to our hearts. Animal shelters across the United States have been reporting an increase of people readily available and eager to foster a dog, during this time; however, New York City really came through.
When the Animal Care Centers of NYC put out a call for applications to its fostering program, which had 200 slots available, over 2000 New Yorkers applied. It is believed that because many of us are working from home now or unfortunately unable to work, we are seeking a furry companion to get us through this time. We might be providing a dog with a home, but as always, they are providing us humans with the friendship and kindness we need during this time of isolation.
According to Foster Dogs INC., they are now focusing their efforts on continuing to support the foster parents and dogs, during this crisis. If you wish to donate to this worthy cause, click here, and visit their website at fosterdogsnyc.com
Know somebody spreading incredible acts of kindness during these difficult times? E-mail us at: [email protected].
We look forward to continuing to keep bringing you more stories that remind us that Kindness Isn’t Canceled. Join us in our campaign, and buy yourself a t-shirt here. As always, we appreciate your support of NYCountry Swag.

While we are all home and hopefully staying healthy, fans of Chris Lane can rejoice with some good news for a change! The platinum-selling singer released a new song today entitled “Hold You Tonight.” Somehow, Lane manages to combine romance and sensitivity with a killer beat in this bonafide hit.
The new jam is a mix of country music and soft EDM. In the same vein as Heartless by Diplo featuring Morgan Wallen, Lane partners with super-producer and artist Gryffin to create something that still feels new and fresh. The EDM inspired beats blend perfectly with the acoustic guitars and passionate vocals. The song is a love song at heart, but the production behind it makes it innovative. Fans will still be able to tell it’s a Chris Lane song, but new fans will definitely be jumping on board after just one listen.
“Get up out of my head / Get up out of my mind / So come and fall into my arms / And let me hold you tonight / You got my heart in your hands / And it just feels right / So come and fall into my arms / Let me hold you tonight”
Lane also dropped a behind-the-headlines video for the song, which features the personal relationship between the two artists, as well as, clips of life on the road and life in the studio. It is an intimate look into the singer’s life, which we’re sure will resonate with country music fans. Check it out below.
“Hold You Tonight” is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

COVID-19 can cancel award shows, concerts, sporting events, and all other social gatherings, but it cannot cancel music. On a night that was supposed to honor country music’s biggest stars became one that was even more memorable; the Academy of Country Music postponed the 55th Annual ACM Awards and instead premiered ACM Presents: Our Country in its place. The two-hour television special, hosted by Gayle King, featured performances from our favorite musical acts in the genre from the safety of their homes to help us heal through the power of music.
Before the show aired on CBS at 8 pm, fans could watch several performances from other country artists on the ACM’s live stream. The pre-show featured Riley Green, Ingrid Andress, Jake Owen, Lindsay Ell, Caylee Hammack, Blanco Brown, Lauren Alaina, Ashley McBryde, Mickey Guyton, and others. Moments that stood out to us were Carly Pearce and Lee Brice’s duet performance of “I Hope You’re Happy Now” from separate houses, Gabby Barrett displaying her powerful vocals on “I Hope” with her husband, Cade Foehner on guitar, and Chris Young singing the late Joe Diffie’s “Pickup Man”. You can watch the entire pre-show on ACM’s Facebook page.
Reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year Keith Urban was supposed to host the award show last night. Instead, he began Our Country with his hit song “Wasted Time”. Lady Antebellum was next. They sang “You Know What I’m Leaving For” from their newest record, Ocean and Hilary Scott dedicated this song to the healthcare workers and first responders. “This song is about walking out of your house and leaving your family to go do what you’re called to do and sometimes that is not an easy thing,” Scott admired. The screen split into three; one for each member of the group. Dave Haywood’s video kept cutting in and out as he switched instruments throughout the song. Haywood’s and Charles Kelley’s sons made appearances as well, making this performance a family affair.
At each commercial break, they showed flashbacks from past ACM award shows, including Brooks and Dunn signing “Brand New Man” with Luke Combs last year, to Shania Twain singing “No One Needs To Know” in 1996. Other moments included Carrie Underwood and Steven Tyler performing “Walk This Way”, and Florida Georgia Line singing “Everybody” with the Backstreet Boys.
Underwood was next. She sang her most recent single and a very fitting song for the time, “Drinking Alone”. Little Big Town harmonized a song off their new record, Nightfall called “Next To You”. Another track that is very fitting as it discusses how even when times are bad, just being together with the person you love will make it all better.
Separated by four different screens, Tim McGraw performed his hit song “Humble and Kind” with his bandmates. Kelsea Ballerini then sang a snippet of the lead single off her brand new album kelsea, “homecoming queen?”
Shania Twain, stationed in a stable with her horse and golden retriever, performed a melody of two songs off her 1997 album Come On Over, “Honey I’m Home” and “Man, I Feel Like a Woman”. The most nominated group at the 2020 ACM Awards, Old Dominion was next. Front-man Matt Ramsey went to Trevor Rosen’s house to perform “Some People Do”. Rosen played piano six feet away from Ramsey.
Eric Church, at home, not donning his signature aviator shades, debuted a new song for the viewers called “Never Break Heart”. Read more about the song here.
Good friends, Brad Paisley and Darius Rucker performed two of their hits together via FaceTime; Paisley’s “Mud on the Tires” and Rucker’s “Wagon Wheel”. The two came back later in the show to give tribute to country music legend, the late Kenny Rodgers, performing hits of his such as “Lucille” and “The Gambler”.
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani performed country music’s greatest love song right now “Nobody But You” from their house in Oklahoma. Thomas Rhett then sang a new song he debuted for us last Monday called “Be A Light”. Read more about that here.
From her “out of tune, grandma piano built-in 1900”, Brandi Carlile performed a piece of her song, “The Joke”. Luke Bryan sang “Most People Are Good” and also dedicated it to all the medical professionals and people on the front lines. There’s a line in that song that speaks volumes during times like these. “I believe, if you just go by the nightly news / your faith in all mankind would be the first thing you lose.” One should know what’s going on in the world, however, sometimes the news provides us with negativity and sorrow that we just don’t need right now. Remaining hopeful is important for our mental and emotional health. Another Luke — Luke Combs was up next, singing “Beautiful Crazy”.
Miranda Lambert sang her current single, “Bluebird” from her front porch. She joked that her husband was supposed to film her performance, but he was at the pond fishing and “for a New York City boy, he better learn how to fish”. She went on to say “I want to remind everyone to lean into your music, lean into your guitars, your pianos, your voices and let that heal you because music is medicine.”
Dierks Bentley sang “I Hold On” for all the people “holding on for dear life” during this crisis. “It seems like the country music community always comes together for each other,” he praises.
Kane Brown, joined by 11-time Grammy winner John Legend performed their new song “Last Time I Say Sorry” together over FaceTime. It was the first live performance of their heart-wrenching ballad.
The men of Florida Georgia Line, Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard brought their families together and performed a snippet of their most recent single, “Blessings” from the Kelley’s living room. This song reminds us to not forget what’s really important in our lives, and that is our loved ones. Sheryl Crow had the last original performance of the night; she sang her inspirational track, “I Shall Believe.”
After Rucker and Paisley’s Kenny Rodgers tribute performance, Bryan came back on to sing Rodgers’ “Coward of the Country.” The show ended with a clip from the 2012 ACM Awards when Lionel Richie joined Rodgers on stage to perform their hit song “Lady”. “Not only did we have a hit record, but I found one of the greatest friends I ever had in my whole life,” Richie recalled.
The Academy of Country Music and the artists who performed on this special gave us a night more memorable than we could have imagined. If there is one takeaway from last night, it is that even in the worst of times, we can look to music as a way of healing and a reminder that if you stay positive, keep your faith and do your part, together we can overcome any obstacle.
The ACM launched a COVID-19 Relief Fund called ACM Lifting Lives. It was created to assist individuals working in the country music industry who are suffering a financial crisis as a result of the pandemic. For those interested in donating or learning more, head to their website.
The 2020 ACM Awards will air on CBS Wednesday, September 16th with Keith Urban hosting. To see a full list of the nominees, click here!

Six-time ACM winner and 2020 ACM Entertainer of the Year nominee, Eric Church debuted a brand new song for us last night during ACM Presents: Our Country called “Never Break Heart”. The song is appropriate for the state of the world right now as it’s about staying strong during tough times and not letting fear overcome us.
“The hardest part about this for me…has been the unknown; I believe we fear the unknown,” Church admitted before performing his new song. “I have hope, and you should have hope because, since the beginning of time, people have gathered…and we will gather again. The important thing to remember is to not fear, to be brave and to endure.”
“Don’t let fear steal your brave heart/Don’t let doubt take your faith heart
It’s okay to cry, but never break, heart”
We are anticipating the digital release of this song as well as a new album announcement from Church. Like Dierks Bentley did with writing his latest album, The Mountain, Church isolated himself with just a small team of writers in the mountains of his home state of North Carolina where he achieved his goal of writing a new song each day for 28 days straight.

‘This Is Us’ and ‘Breakthrough’ actress Chrissy Metz is a woman of many talents. From being a Hollywood star to penning her memoir “This Is Me,” and dabbling in singing on last year’s ‘Breakthrough’ movie soundtrack (which also led to a performance at the ACM Awards last year), Metz has done it all. And right now, singing is no longer just a mere dabble. Metz has just dropped her first country release “Talking To God” via EMI Nashville/UMG.
The song, co-penned by Ashley McBryde, narrates the questions an individual asks God in prayer after a break-up and how some potential truths are revealed.
“I was talkin’ to God last night / About why things happen the way they do yeah, and He shed a little light on why I’m goin’ through, what I’m goin’ through / Everything under the sun / Why some get it all / And some people fall out of love / I was talkin’ to God last night / Your name came up, your name came up,”
“‘Talking To God’ is a song about those moments when we ask the questions we desperately want the answers to,” Metz shared in a press statement. “Whether it’s a lost love or why our own lives look much different than the way we had hoped they would. It’s about those personal prayers and conversations we have while listening and learning to surrender and trust in the bigger picture.”
“Talking To God” is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

Tara Thompson’s “My Dogs Are Home” is a new single off her up and coming album called Circus. Thompson describes herself as hillbilly from East Tennessee. She was raised in small-town in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. She grew up on Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, and Dolly Parton tunes and you can hear it in her songs. Her music is rooted in traditional country, with a modern take and is inspired by real-life firsthand stories. Read more about her backstory in our Swag Spotlight here.
She also shared her thoughts about the single on her Facebook page “With all the craziness going on in the world, I hope this song can put a smile on your face. Never did I think I would be promoting new music during a world pandemic, but we have to keep living and moving on. It’s a scary time, but also a time that I’m going to choose to use what God gave me and share it with the world”
Mysterious title, great story, and amazing performance that’s how Thompson’s latest single can be described. Written with Al Anderson and Kelly Archer, “My Dogs Are Home” is a humorous song for those who are afraid of drinking alone. She has a piece of exceptional advice if you have a dog, you’ve got company so you’re not drinking by your lonesome. The track is specifically poignant for anyone who is currently facing the COVID outbreak alone and needing some encouragement to open that bottle of wine.
With this song, she proves that her star is on the rise and we look forward to her upcoming album which is a reflection on her years navigating the music industry.
“My Dogs Are Home” is now available everywhere you buy or stream music. Take a listen below and check out more new recently released music here on our ‘New Country Music’ playlist. Be sure to give the playlist a follow for your weekly new country music fix.

It has been a tough few weeks for Nashville, for the country, and for the world. Small businesses are struggling to stay afloat, people are trying to rebuild their homes, many Americans are losing their jobs, and we are all forced to stay in as we fight through this pandemic. Despite all this turmoil, beauty and kindness have remained.
We decided to flip the script and shine our spotlight, while we can, on some of the kindness that we have witnessed from others because Kindness Isn’t Canceled. To grab your exclusive shirt, click here.
Our next story of kindness hails from an organization that we have highlighted before for their acts of courage and unwavering strength. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is the leading research hospital geared towards combatting childhood cancer and other life-threatening illness. Their work is unprecedented, and they truly are an organization everyone should support.
In addition to their numerous programs like “This Shirt Saves Lives”, to support their mission even further, St Jude has a blog called St. Jude Inspire, where they tell the stories about the hospital in hopes of inspiring trust, hope, and faith in others. As their mission statement says, their goal is always “Finding cures: Saving children.”
Due to the loneliness and isolation that can be direct impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, much like us, St. Jude has added a new blog series to their site called “Inspired by Your Kindness.” As they say, in this time of social distancing, the St. Jude team is looking for ways to add some light to people’s days through feel-good stories that spread kindness.
St. Jude is showing people that we can still find human connections and light in a time of uncertainty. Their stories range from lessons you can learn from coloring to acts of compassion by teachers. Check out their series here to learn more.
