The Frontmen Share New Releases After Inking Deal with BMG

/in , , /by

The Frontmen are officially sharing two new releases, “Amazed (The Frontmen Edition)” and “Left Their Mark” out now, May 26th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the music below.

Back in March, The Frontmen officially signed with BMG/BBR Music Group. The trio comprised of Richie McDonald (formerly of Lonestar), Tim Rushlow (formerly of Little Texas) and Larry Stewart (Restless Heart), are absolute veterans in the country music industry. Combining their talents into an exciting act is exactly what we all needed. Today, The Frontmen release two new songs, a new rendition of the popular Lonestar song, “Amazed” and an original called, “Left Their Mark.”

On their rendition of “Amazed,” the singers combine their incredible vocals to create an up-leveled version of the already iconic song. On “Left Their Mark,” The Frontmen continue to bring heart and vocals to their music. Like “Amazed,” “Left Their Mark” tells a poignant story. It touches the edges of sacrifice, losing someone you love, and the incredible military men and women who put their lives on the line each and everyday for all of us.

“There goes someone with lots of friends // A family who could depend on them // through thick and thin // I can tell by the tears in their eyes, what they must of meant to all their lives // And I thought, as I watched that goodbye parade unfurl // There goes someone who touched some hearts and left their mark on the world”

The Frontmen are pure talents. No matter how they choose to take their career, they clearly know exactly what kind of music they want to gift to the world. Their releases are the perfect re-introduction to each of their talents.

Conner Smith Shares New Track “How It Looks From Here”

/in , , /by

Conner Smith shares new track, “How It Looks From Here,” out now, May 26th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new song below.

One of our favorite rising artists, Conner Smith is giving fans another taste of what is to come. After releasing his killer single, “Creek Will Rise,” Smith is slowing things down with a heartfelt, mid-tempo track. His new song, “How It Looks From Here” is officially out now.

The new song is a the perfect combination of Smith’s vocal ability and storytelling prowess. While it is clearly about a demise of a relationship, “How It Looks From Here” still feels catchy and fun to sing along to. Smith has a knack for creating lyrics that get stuck in your head, all while continuing to root for his success.

“Now I’m standing on the front porch // Watching those taillights // fade into red dirt dust // Now I’m standing in the mess that I made // She’s got all of her things in the back packed up // She’s good as gone // She’s moving on // Didn’t look one time in the review mirror // At least that’s how it looks from here”

We anticipate an album (hopefully) coming out later this year with the new single following “Creek Will Rise” as the first couple of tracks. Smith knows how to create buzzworthy attention around his music, and we are sure that “How It Looks From Here” will continue to rise in popularity with his growing fanbase.

Jake Owen Announces New Album + Drops 4 New Songs

/in , , /by

Jake Owen announces new album, Loose Cannon, due out June 23rd and shares four new songs, out now, May 26th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new tracks below.

It has been a little over four years, since Jake Owen shared a new body of work with fans, but the wait is finally over. The platinum-selling country artist has a brand new album, Loose Cannon slated for release on June 23rd. The record features sixteen brand new songs, including four songs that Owen is sharing with fans today.

“I can’t wait to share this new wave of music with my fans,” shares Owen in a recent press release. “This album is a long time coming and feels like the best version of me. Grab your buddies, put the boat in the water, pour a cold one out, and we’ll catch y’all out on the lake. It’s the best time of year and we’re ready to celebrate.”

Amongst the new songs are “On The Boat Again,” “Solo, Solo,” “Nothing,” and “Hot Truck Beer.” Each of the four tracks feature Owen’s signature summer-ready vibes with countrified lyrics. Of course, Owen’s song, “On The Boat Again” is a feel-good song that borrows the iconic chorus from Willie Nelson’s song, “On The Road Again.” The tactic adds a summer-ready vibe to the classic. Similarly, “Hot Truck Beer” is a nostalgic song all about spending time with your friends in the hot sunshine.

“Solo, Solo,” although a seemingly fun song, is technically a break-up song. Owen sings about dealing with heartbreak by drinking out of solo cups and spending time in the sunshine. Finally, “Nothing,” one of our favorites of the four, begins with enticing snaps and whistles. It explodes into a fun, summer-ready anthem that we will be blasting all season long.

Loose Cannon is coming out at the perfect time. It is clear that Owen’s new album will be the soundtrack to all of our summers, especially if you summer on the water! New York country fans can catch a special preview of the songs exclusively at out pop-up show with Owen on Monday, May 29th at The Rockaway Hotel. Register for free tickets here.

Who Is Stephen Wilson Jr.? The Story Behind His Journey to Country Music

/in , , /by

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

who-is-Stephen-Wilson-Jr

Quick Facts:

Full Name – Stephen Wilson Jr.
Birthdate – July 11th
Hometown – Seymour, Indiana
Current City – Nashville, Tennessee
Musical Influences – Willie Nelson as a guitar player and singer, Roy Orbison as a singer and songwriter, The National (the band), John Mellencamp, and George Jones.
Label – Big Loud Records
Current Single – “American Gothic” ft. Hailey Whitters (As of article date – 5/22/2023)

The Beginning:

Today’s spotlight shines on the true definition of an artist. Stephen Wilson Jr. is the real deal. While his upbringing was not exactly easy, he came away with a great respect and love for music, inspiration from his late father, and passion like no other for the craft.

“I’m from Southern, Indiana […] The birthplace of John Mellencamp. He was a big influence on my town, and my culture, and the soundtrack of the town,” began Wilson. “I grew up with a lot of honest music.”

Wilson recalls loving both country music and classic rock music. “I grew up listening to music that whole time. My grandparents were really big into Johnny Cash and Hank Williams and my dad was big into classic rock and 90s country music at the time,” shared the singer-songwriter. Wilson Jr. also remembered riding on the bus for hours a day to school, listening to even more country music. “I spent a lot of time listening to Nashville songwriters [on the bus]. I just knew that the songwriters were incredible.”

While music was something he loved from an early age, Wilson inherited his father’s skill and love for boxing. “I spent a lot of time in boxing clubs and boxing gyms watching him fight […] By the time I was seven years old, I started boxing too,” he shared. Adding later, “My first stage was not a stage at all, it was a boxing ring.”

The Turning Point:

Wilson went on to box through college and his early 20s, all while continuing to perfect his guitar-playing skills, living in Nashville. “Music has always just made sense to me. I just always understood it and when I got a guitar, within six months I was just flying on that thing,” he shared.

During his senior year of college, Wilson began performing professionally for the first time. “I started an indie-rock band there during my senior year of college. […] We just kind of had a thing going and that’s where I learned to be a performer,” he stated. “Not in a million years did I ever believe I would be a lead singer or a frontman.”

Despite loving music and performing in the band as a guitarist and back-up vocalist, Wilson left the band to take a job as a scientist, something he pursued in college. Although he was no longer performing, songwriting was something that had become important to him. “I got put in one of those songwriting rooms in Nashville, and it was game over from there […] It never left my mind to be a songwriter and write songs.”

Eventually, after being rejected numerous times by different studios for publishing deals, Wilson was welcomed with open arms by BMG Nashville. He was offered a publishing deal on the spot. Years later, he would go on to secure a record deal with Big Loud Records.

Today:

Flash forward to today, Wilson is making his father proud, as he lives out his own dream and passion in honor of his memory. “He was like the sun to my solar system, and it was like the sun just got a bucket of water thrown on it. It really derailed me and rewired me and changed me,” he shared when speaking of his debut project, bon aqua. 

He credits those experiences for inspiring his project. “I hope to continue to be a good stenographer with a poetic edge,” he shared. Songs like “The Devil” and “Hometown” just poured out of him, when he decided to create something as an artist. “I went in and just recorded some songs just to see what would happen. […] I just knew it was something that I had to do.”

Bon Aqua is something special, and the full-length album is coming soon. “For me this EP and this album is a record of time and it’s me record keeping one of the worst times in my life and one of the most transformational times in my life and perhaps the best time in my life all at once.” Fans can be on the look out for more to come from Stephen Wilson Jr. in the near future.

Superstar, Jason Aldean never shies away from controversy and speaking his truth in his music. In his new song, “Try That In A Small Town,” Aldean speaks candidly about the values instilled in him from small-town living and much more.

Although the song was written by Kurt Allison, Tully Kennedy, Kelley Lovelace and Neil Thrasher, the singer clearly connected to the lyrics and the in-your-face melody. The song tackles taboo subjects, but at its core, it is a song about small town values and how it is important not to lose them.

“Try that in a small town // See how far ya make it down the road // ‘Round here, we take care of our own // You cross that line, it won’t take long // For you to find out, I recommend you don’t // Try that in a small town // Got a gun that my granddad gave me // They say one day they’re gonna round up // Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck”

“Try That In A Small Town” marks Aldean’s first radio single off his next studio album, which he is currently in the studio working on! Check back for more updates.
