CHARLOTTE MORRIS PENS LOVE LETTER TO “TENNESSEE” WITH NEW SINGLE

Nashville, TN (March 24, 2023) – Country music singer/songwriter and recording artist Charlotte Morris recently released her heartfelt new single called “Tennessee.” You can listen to the song HERE!

With charming lyrics like chasing muddy waters where the Smokies meet their end, spending nights wrapped up in pretend, “Tennessee” reminisces on summer nights and a lost love.

“I wrote Tennessee a few months after moving to Nashville in 2021,” Charlotte recalls. “I was totally infatuated with the city, and the summer was a whirlwind of sunny days, first dates, lake swims, long hikes… basically living in a bit of a fantasy land – summer camp for adults. But as I started to settle in, I also started to snap back to reality. I had moved here for a reason; plus, I’m a real adult now (yikes!) and have responsibilities.

I think that the pairing of whimsy and realism create a sense of nostalgia that is almost tangible throughout the song. We all have those days that, 50 years from now, we’ll look back on and smile. The people might not still be around; maybe you’ve moved; maybe your life looks completely different. But those days shaped you, and gave you life. For me, those days will always include my first summer in Tennessee. Those carefree days were fleeting, but they paved the way for me to build a stable life in this city that will always hold a place in my heart. The song will always serve as a reminder of that.”

With the recent legislative action happening in Tennessee, Charlotte wants to encourage all listeners to donate to the ACLU’s Support the Drag Defense Fund, a campaign that champions drag performers and the LGBTQ+ community. Whether through song or through drag, all artists should have the right to perform their craft.

KATIE FEE RELEASES INTOXICATING NEW SINGLE “HAVEN’T EVEN POURED THE WHISKEY”

Nashville, TN (March 24, 2023) – Country music singer/songwriter and recording artist Katie Fee recently released her new single “Haven’t Even Poured the Whiskey” (co-written with Sammy Kay and Paige King Johnson). You can listen to the song HERE!

With whimsical lyrics like my head is starting to spin, my hands are starting to shake, my words are tangled up and I can’t seem to think straight, “Haven’t Even Poured the Whiskey” will have listeners feeling drunk on love by the end of the song.

“Sometimes song ideas can come simply from hearing someone say something that sounds like a lyric or a title, so you have to watch what you say around songwriters,” Katie jokes. “At the end of Sammy Kay‘s birthday party, everyone was getting ready to leave and her mom looked over at a bottle of whiskey and said, Oh, we didn’t even open the whiskey. My songwriter brain lit up, so I wrote it down knowing I had a write scheduled with Sammy and Paige King Johnson the next Monday. We took that idea and ran with it!”

About Katie Fee:
Katie Fee’s love of music stems from an early age in which she listened to ‘90s country artists such as Shania TwainFaith Hill, and Deana Carter. In the Fall of 2017, Katie left her hometown of Sioux Falls, SD to attend Belmont University in Nashville, TN, where she studied music business. Since moving to Music City, Katie has thrown herself into Nashville’s songwriting community, co-writing with other songwriters and playing in writers’ rounds around town.


While she fuses influences of past and present, country, rock, and pop, the South Dakota native still strives to stay true to country music’s storytelling roots. Whether the song’s about love, heartbreak, having a good time, or working hard, Katie weaves the listener through a story along the way.


On July 2nd, 2021, she released her debut EP “Sunsets and Fireworks.” The title track has been described by Three Chords Country as “What you would get if Eric Church‘s Springsteen were written by a young Taylor Swift,” perfectly summing up the songstress’s influences. “Sunsets and Fireworks” has gotten radio play on several stations including Radio SoBroCountryRadio.UK, and SheWolf Radio.


In addition to music, Katie also enjoys traveling. In the past few years, she’s managed to put the two passions together and play shows out on the road in places such as South Carolina, Alabama, The Listening Room in Pigeon Forge, TN, and Wild West Songwriters’ Festival in Deadwood, SD.


In 2023, Katie looks forward to putting out new music, beginning with the release of “Haven’t Even Poured The Whiskey” on March 24th.

With entertaining lyrics like I’m dodging scales, I’m overweight, I can’t afford the fine, “Breaker Breaker 1-9” combines traditional country music with the relatable tale of life on the road.

“I’ve always wanted to write a truck driving song,” Justin recalls. “When writing this song, I wanted to be able to connect with all truck drivers. They are a staple in our everyday lives. I think we, as humans, take a lot of things for granted. Without drivers, we wouldn’t have our much-needed food, furniture, feed for our animals, etc. So, thank you for being you and doing what you do. Being a road-dog isn’t easy.”



About Justin Colvard:
Justin Colvard was a 10-year-old in Allen, Texas, when he first picked up the guitar. After establishing a love affair with making music, he followed many other country hopefuls by relocating to Nashville, TN.

Now that he and his family are official Gulf Coast residents, this country singer-songwriter has been busy showcasing his album “Barstool Confessions” and his single, “Hard Times,” at live performances. “Barstool Confessions” provides some insights into Colvard’s take on modern country. While this album still has a rock edge, more sensitive ears can collect pieces of traditional country through the arrangement.

In 2017, Justin had his first Top 100 on Texas Country Radio with “Alcohol,” followed by his second Top 100 in 2020 with “She Played Me Like A Hank Song.”


In November 2022, Justin was asked to play in the 2022 Frank Brown International Songwriters Festival, held annually down on the Gulf Coast. He just recently partnered with Beachilly Lifestyle as a Brand Ambassador (use code JC10 at checkout to save 10% off of total purchase).

With captivating lyrics like a couple kids with mountain dreams, passions boilin’ like hot springs, “Leaving Montana” tells a tale of finding love, losing that love, and the struggle of leaving it behind. 

Leaving Montana was an idea that I brought to a co-write with my producer, Justine Blazer, and Corey Lee Barker,” Joe explains. “It’s my ‘divorce song.’ I started telling them about how I met my ex-wife and our adventures, and the song just fell out. Montana is really a metaphor for relationship in the song, although it is very much a real place, and a real story that exists in my mind and heart.”

About Joe Brantley:
Growing up in a rural, one-stop-light town in Alabama, Americana singer/songwriter Joe Brantley discovered his love for music at a young age. Raised by his grandparents, he was exposed to many of the great musical artists, such as George Jones, Waylon Jennings and Elvis, as a child.

At six years old, Joe got his first cassette player. He would sing and dance along to Michael Jackson and The Stray Cats before discovering the magic of ‘80s metal. He was introduced to Metallica and Guns N’ Roses through his cousins and immersed himself into the music scene. By age twelve, he was playing the drums and he joined his first band at thirteen. By his late teenage years, grunge music was popular and he fell in love with Nirvana and Stone Temple Pilots. “I was a self-conscious adolescent trying to cope and understand why my family was different from everyone else’s. This led me to a creative, yet rebellious, phase where I began writing my own music.”

Throughout the 1990s, Joe was the lead singer of the hard rock band Dead Cel Factor. Their debut album charted on Soundscan, which led to headlining shows at venues like Five Points Music Hall and Birmingham’s City Stages. Dead Cel Factor also opened for bands like Motley Crue and Kittie. In 2006, Joe joined the hard rock band theDeadline, which included the bass player from Intense Regret and the drummer for Atlantic recording artists Virgos Merlot.

Joe took a musical hiatus from 2007 to 2021 and entered the ministry for ten years. After suffering from some personal hardships, he began expressing himself through song again. By combining his country, rock and folk influences, Joe has cultivated his own unique sound that sets him apart from the pack. He continues to write music and perform at venues across the country.

Joe released his debut Americana single “Leaving Montana” on March 10, 2023.
