Miranda, Maren, Tenille, & More Cover “Fooled Around and Fell In Love”

/in /by

In honor of kicking off the Roadside Bars & Pink Guitars tour, Miranda Lambert and her girl gang that will be joining her on the road released a cover of Elvin Bishop’s “Fooled Around & Fell In Love”. The new version of the 1975 classic song features Maren Morris, Elle King, Ashley McBryde, Tenille Townes, and Caylee Hammack – all of whom will open for Lambert on select dates.

This talented group of women trade off verses, all harmonizing on the chorus and tell the story of a bachelor who fell for one special girl.  The video below shows the recording session when all of the ladies got together to create this magic. We love seeing female artists prove that even though each is hustling their way through the industry, just trying to be heard, they continue to support and love one another.

“The girls on the Roadside Bars and Pink Guitars Tour can sing their asses off,” said Lambert in a press release. “There’s something crazy about seeing these artists with a new fire in their eyes. It reignites your own flame. I’m so excited to watch them every night on tour.”

One of our favorite parts of country concerts is when the headliner graciously lends a part of their setlist to welcome back the openers and direct support, giving a chance for the entire venue to witness their talent. We can only hope that this collaboration will support that on the Roadside Bars & Pink Guitars tour this fall which launches tonight with back-to-back shows at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT.

Heeding Her Mother’s Advice, Caylee Hammack Releases “Preciatcha”

/in /by

Caylee Hammack Preciatcha

Capitol Record Nashville’s Caylee Hammack dropped new infectious single “Preciatcha” on August 30th; weeks ahead of scheduled release date, the songwriter announced via social media. Hammack’s elocutionary influences, chic-driven hooks and parallel imagery differentiates the singer-songwriter/producer from others, but in a bigger, luminous way. Hammack’s subtle delivery still fuses aura of her cheek but gratitude. Co-written with Laura Veltz and Jordan Schmidt, Hammack reminisces on past love from a broken relationship and holds those lessons learned near and dear to her heart.

“My mother once told me that every hand you hold is a lesson or a blessing,” shared Hammack in a press release. “If you find good love, you hold on to it. If you find something else by accident, learn what you must from that experience and move on. ‘Preciatcha’ is about searching for a silver lining in a storm. It’s my song for the broken hearts that deserved better but didn’t get it.” Everything happens for a reason, and there’s positivity to be gained from all ordeals and The Bobby Bones Class of 2019 Member preaches her mother’s words singing: “Preciatcha, every time you made me cry / I appreciate ya, even how you said goodbye / Cut me deep, cut me loose, cut me like a piece of paper / But it taught me that isn’t love / So how can I hate ya? / I appreciate ya”

“Preciatcha” follows the Georgia native’s previous single “Just Friends” and her debut “Family Tree.” “Family Tree” was the most added single at country radio for a female artist in over three years. At just 19, the country expressionist moved to Nashville and snuck around with fake IDs to obtain gigs by night, while breaking into the songwriting community by day. She then signed with Universal Music Publishing Group in 2016 as the youngest writer on their roster and then won the ASCAP Foundation’s Sammy Cahn Award. Caylee Hammack is the one to watch.

To keep up with Caylee Hammack follow her on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

“Preciatcha” is now available 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.

6 Rising Female Artists Who Will Make Radio Pay Attention

/in /by

One of the things we’re most excited about is the influx of ridiculously talented female singer-songwriters that are unapologetically bringing unique artistry to the country music world. In an era that’s dominated by male recording artists, these six female rising artists are breaking the mold and making a name for themselves in music.

 

1. Kassi Ashton
Kassi Ashton is one of NYCountry Swag 2019 Artists to Watch and is one of UMG Nashville’s most promising new artists. Armed with a soulful voice, unique vocals, and a fearless personality, Ashton is everything country music didn’t know they needed. She stays true to herself and doesn’t sugarcoat anything, which is why we love her! Listen to her songs “Field Party” and “Violins” to truly understand her talent. P.S most of the outfits you see her wearing, she designed and created her self, just another tidbit that makes her the coolest. Keep up with Ashton via her Instagram and Twitter.

2. Tenille Townes
Another artist we just can’t get enough of is Tenille Townes. Between her raw vocals and impressive songwriting, Townes is the full package. She shines on emotional songs like “Somebody’s Daughter” and “I Kept the Roses.” Check her out on tour this summer with Dierks Bentley! We are proud that she is not only one of our 2019 Artists to Watch, but also a Swag Spotlight alum. Read our Swag Spotlight with Townes and follow her on Instagram and Twitter to learn more.

3. Ingrid Andress
We can’t say enough good things about the next artist on our list, Ingrid Andress. After being introduced to her music at an exclusive Warner Music Nashville showcase, back in February, we haven’t stopped singing her praises. Andress is the definition of innovative, and truly embodies the new wave of female country artists that are emerging. Her vocal range and clever wordplay are evident in her songs “Lady Like,” “More Hearts Than Mine,” and “Both”. Be sure to follow her on Instagram and Twitter.

4. Abby Anderson
Singer-songwriter, Abby Anderson is one to look out for. She already played her first headlining show in New York City last year and is gearing up to take the stage again, opening up for Rob Thomas at the Beacon Theatre in NYC on July 29th & 30th. We love her sassy new song “GOOD LORD” and can’t wait for more new music. Not to mention, her debut EP I’m Good was a great introduction to her unique artistry. Read our Swag Spotlight with her here, and keep up with her via Instagram and Twitter.

5. Lauren Jenkins
Lauren Jenkins is equally as stunning, as she is talented, and we knew she had to make our list. Jenkins is an artist we are so excited about. She is full of authenticity, raw talent and emotion, and she can literally sing anything. After witnessing her skills live during our Swag Session, and again in her opening spot on tour with The Wild Feathers, we can confidently say she’s a must listen to! Check out her songs “Running Out of Road” and “No Saint” off her debut studio album No Saint. Make sure to follow her on Instagram and Twitter too!

6. Caylee Hammack
Finally, Caylee Hammack rounds out our list of impressive female rising country artists. She’s another artist who embodies uniqueness. She doesn’t abide by the “rules” and gifts us all with music that is authentic to who she is as a person. We are loving her style, personality, and of course her vocals! The fiery redhead is killing it, and we can’t wait to see what’s to come for her in the future. Make sure to give her debut single, “Family Tree” a listen to. Keep up with Hammack on Instagram and Twitter.

That wraps up our list of six of the most fearless and talented female artists in the country music industry right now!

Caylee Hammack Makes Her National TV Debut on TODAY

/in /by

Caylee Hammack Today Show

Up and coming country artist Caylee Hammack made her national television debut this morning on NBC’s Today Show, performing her breakout single “Family Tree.” Today co-hosts Carson Daly, and Jenna Bush Hager introduced the singer, telling the audience and viewers at home that Rolling Stone called her an artist you need to know, so everyone better write down and remember her name.

Before the artist’s performance, Daly welcomes the band and asks Hammack how she is feeling with everything happening so fast. “It feels like a whirlwind, but I’m super excited for it,” Hammack replied.
The co-hosts then go into discussing the “Family Tree” video and how the song, co-written and produced by Hammack, features important people to the singer, including her parents. As Hammack is discussing how her mom does not like to be on camera, she is surprised by a FaceTime call with non-other than her mom and dad, Mike and Claudia.

Of course, Claudia was asked about her Tupperware, referring to the lyrics “Momma’s burning chicken for the Tupperware party tonight.” She laughed as she gave her response, “I just love Tupperware and I guess I influenced her as a child.” Both Claudia and Mike go on to share their love and how proud they are of their daughter.

After they said their goodbyes, Hammack took the stage with her band behind her. “Family Tree” was the most-added debut song by a female artist upon impact at Country radio in over three years, and you could tell why during her performance. She showed the viewers her range and confidence throughout the whole performance. You definitely couldn’t tell it was her first time performing on television.

Hammack will be hitting the biggest country music festivals this summer, including CMA Fest. You can catch her at the Long Island Community Hospital Amphitheater in Farmingville, NY on July 3rd along with Lee Brice, Chris Janson, and Drew Baldridge. Get your tickets here.

To keep up with Hammack follow her on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Caylee Hammack Sheds Light On Her “Family Tree” in Music Video

/in /by

Caylee Hammack Family Tree

One of Capitol Records Nashville’s newest recording artists, Caylee Hammack is coming on to the scene full speed ahead with her music. Back in February, we were able to preview the newcomer at Country Radio Seminar, where she sang her debut single “Family Tree.” Over the weekend, the songstress premiered the music video for the track exclusively on CMT.

Sassy, fun, vibrant, and funky are just a few words that can be used to describe the essence of Hammack’s music. Her new music video fits that vibe perfectly. “Family Tree” draws inspiration from the songstress’ South Georgia roots and unapologetically describes family members and experiences in a creative and catchy tune. The music video features Hammack’s fiery personality, as she drives around in an old school car reminiscing about her relatives and life story so far.

Check out the charming video below.

In a recent press release, the singer-songwriter shared her creative process and pride for the video, even welcoming her future fanbase to her world. “I created this song about the people I love with the people I love, it’s been pretty special to have my Nashville family help me shed light on my Georgia family. I think this video really goes above and beyond in translating the song into a true visual experience. Welcome to the family, y’all!”

Keep an eye out for Hammack, as she will be performing at some major country music festivals this summer, including LakeShake Festival, Country Fest, Country Thunder Wisconsin, and Seven Peaks Festival. For tickets and more information head to cayleehammack.com. Additionally, the singer is slated to tour with country music heavy hitters, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, and Brothers Osborne later this year.

New Yorkers can catch Hammack on July 3rd at Long Island Community Hospital Amphitheater in Farmingville, New York, accompanied by Lee Brice, Chris Jason, and Drew Baldridge.

To keep up with Hammack, follow her on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.
