Nashville, TN (July 16, 2021) – Indie-Folk singer/songwriter Julia Cannon recently released her new EP entitled “Listening.”

With profound lyrics like will you fight for us like you’d be fighting for yourself?, the title track from the EP is a reflection of the heaviness Julia has felt over the last year.

“I decided to produce and mix this whole project over the course of this pandemic, with the idea that having something to work on would help me to process my grief,” Julia explains. “Little did I know that there would be so much grief to process. There were two deaths in my family and then the whole country witnessed the murders of George Floydand Breonna Taylor. This project became extremely cathartic and difficult to finish. At times, it was the only thing that I wanted to do and I obsessed as a way to cope.  Here, on the other side of the tunnel, I’m really proud of what I’ve created. I’m proud that I could make my pain into something beautiful. I hope you enjoy it.”

In May 2021, Julia released the first single off of the EP, The Shore. The song received positive reviews from both fans and press, receiving coverage from The Sounds Won’t Stop, Medium, BuzzMusic, Grubs & Grooves, Nashville Socialite and more. You can watch the official music video for her upcoming single “More” HERE!

About Julia Cannon:
Julia Cannon is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter and music producer who is hard to forget. Her soothing, honeyed voice and quirky personality offer a pleasing contrast to the bittersweet honesty of her lyrics.

Julia Cannon was raised in Alaska by a hardworking Filipino mother, in a household Cannon could only describe as “unorthodox.” She developed her wicked sense of humor and offbeat persona early on. As one of only a few people of color in a mostly white, ultra-conservative community, Julia’s creative voice cemented her identity as a young woman who could not – and would not – be overwritten.

In 2015, Julia wrote, arranged, and produced the EP My Name is Julia, which garnered significant attention with bloggers and local radio stations throughout the US. Tracks such as Mashed Potatoes, Batty, and Tracking have been featured in podcasts and playlists across the US and UK. In 2017, Cannon released her debut album, Lack of Will.

Julia Cannon’s sound has been described as playful and relaxing, but her tone transcends the indie-folk genre to include comedy, classic rock, and jazz influences. Cannon credits her genre-bending style to influences such as Ella Fitzgerald, Paul McCartney, and Paul Simon. Cannon now has a growing fanbase in Nashville, who join an existing community of ardent supporters both at home in Alaska and across the US.

Nashville, TN (July 9, 2021) – Country-Pop singer/songwriter Allison Asarch recently released her new single “Cotton Dress” (written by Andrea Renfree and Peter Renfree). You can listen to the song HERE!

With charming lyrics like next thing you know, they were holdin’ a girl, with her Momma’s eyes and her Daddy’s curls, singing lullabies in the middle of a moonlit light, “Cotton Dress” is the perfect, storytelling song of a true romance.

“Cotton Dress is a song about a boy and a girl who are in love and don’t care about what anyone says,” Allison explains. “It’s sassy, cute, and catchy – think Carrie Underwood’s All American Girl meets The Lumineers’ Ho Hey. I’m so excited for you to love this song!!!

About Allison Asarch:
Growing up in Houston, Texas, Allison Asarch discovered her love for music at a young age. As a child, she would perform at her grandparents’ annual Christmas talent show, but it wasn’t until she reached 4^th grade that she knew she wanted to make a career out of it. “My music teacher, Ms. Teagarden, had everyone singing and smiling…including the boys! I loved the joy music brought to me and everyone else.”

Raised on powerhouse vocalists like Tina Turner, Shania Twain and Freddie Mercury, Allison began cultivating her own unique sound while attending Otterbein University’s School of Music in Westerville, Ohio. It was there that she began teaching herself how to play the guitar, while also taking piano lessons during her freshman and sophomore years. She was also a member of the school’s choir, training in classical opera and traveling to Ireland and Germany to perform.

In 2018, Allison moved to Nashville, Tennessee to start chasing her dreams. When the Coronavirus pandemic hit in early 2020, she seized the opportunity to start recording and releasing her own music. Heavily influenced by Taylor Swift, Allison combines country, pop and jazz elements in her songs. In September 2020, she released her first single called Taylor Made. That same month, she appeared on the Netflix Original show “Sing On!” where she took first place and won over $42,000. She followed up with her second single, The One, in November and released Sippin’ on Somethin’ in February of 2021. Her most recent singles, Summer Style and Cotton Dress, are now available on all streaming platforms.

An advocate for female empowerment, Allison is building her team around talented women. “I know there are wonderfully accomplished women who play instruments, sing backup vocals, produce and create. I want to help shine a light on those women and organizations the best I can!”

In her spare time, Allison enjoys fostering dogs, attending Nashville Predators hockey games and sampling craft beers at local breweries.
