Nashville, TN (November 22, 2017) – Nashville-based singer/songwriter Megan Barker recently released her new holiday song, “One More Christmas With You,” to iTunes. You can download the single HERE!

With touching lyrics like snow hasn’t hit the ground, but I can feel it in the air, your memory’s all over town, but you ain’t really there, the Christmas tune is sure to tug on heartstrings and has a very special meaning to Barker.

“When Dad and I wrote One More Christmas With You, it was about being heartbroken over a relationship ending,” Barker explains. “Now, for me, it’s a song about missing my Daddy – but, it makes me happy when I play it live. His memory lives on through this song.”

Born into the music industry, her father, Bobby P. Barker, wrote songs for country legends such as Ronnie Milsap and Barbara Mandrell. Her mother, Barbara Smith-Barker, was also a touring artist and session singer. Megan spent her childhood in studios and writing sessions where she learned at an early age how to craft a lyrical narrative.

Megan started her career singing at local Las Vegas venues where her unique and prolific songwriting and contagious melodies helped her to play bigger venues, including The Linq, Monte Carlo, First Friday Festival, The House of Blues, The Hard Rock Cafe and more. She has also had the privilege of opening for the likes of Montgomery Gentry, Lee Briceand Eli Young Band.

“Performing live music professionally in Las Vegas was a huge blessing, but Nashville is where I belong – creating songs by day and performing at night. I’ll see ya’ll out on the road!”

You can listen to Megan live on Grand Ole Opry Radio (650 AM WSM) this Friday, November 24th at 5pm. On December 14th, she will appear on “Today in Nashville” (Channel 4). That same evening at 9:30pm, she will be promoting her Christmas single at her show Santa Claws at Millennium Maxwell House. The performance will benefit theNashville Cat Rescue.

REXBURG (November 13, 2017) —Black is back.  Pianist and YouTube star Jason Lyle Black, who performed a fundraiser in Rexburg earlier this year for the Upper Valley Music Teachers Association, is back for a bigger-and-better Christmas concert featuring local celebrity beatboxer and BYU-I student Parker Kane.

“I’m thrilled to be coming back to Rexburg,” Black notes.  “This is an all-new concert with Christmas music, live audience requests for their favorite Christmas songs, and special guest Parker Kane, with whom I’ll be doing my first-ever piano/beatbox Christmas duet!”

The concert is presented by Idaho Central Credit Union, and supported by Rexburg City and by #LightTheWorld.  Black said his goal is to create a tradition in the Rexburg community for families and the campus community to come together to enjoy Christmas music.

“Specifically, we wanted to provide something fun for families to do over Thanksgiving weekend,” Black notes, as the concert takes place Saturday, November 25, at 7 PM at the Rexburg Tabernacle.  “We know that families are often looking for something fun to do over Thanksgiving weekend, so we created a special “Family pass” for the concert.”

“This is a concert you don’t want to miss,” notes David Love, president of the Upper Valley Music Teachers Association.  “Jason knocked the socks off the audience last time he was here.  His unique mix of music, comedy, and audience improvisation was an absolute hit!”

Tickets are available online at jasonlyleblack.com.  General admission is $12, with seniors/students getting $10 pricing and family passes available for $35.  A portion of the proceeds will be donated back to various community causes, including music education and “Shop with a Cop.”  To see video previews, visit jasonlyleblack.com.

Nashville, TN (September 4, 2017) – Roxul-Pop sensation and singer/songwriter PHENIX released her newest single, “Ace Game,” today. You can listen to it HERE!

The end-of-the summer anthem features hip and catchy lyrics like “I need some sugar babe, we’ve been out for a couple days…gotta learn to play the monster before you dance with a gangsta, all I order is the fake fur, keep me from that burr,” along with a vintage-yet-modern video.  You can watch the official video HERE!

“One think you can expect from me as an artist is that I will give you every inch of my heart. What I preach is what I stand for – it’s the movement, it’s the essence, it’s the mentality,” the singer explains.

War paint being her main accessory, Phenix stays authentically fashion savvy. With her countless comparisons to Lady Gaga, due to her powerful stage performances and stretchy set of pipes, Phenix has well established her persona to be a true reflection of her movement. “A visual assault that will attack your senses,” Phenix ramps you up with the warrior energy and takes you on a journey to another planet.

By giving you more than a show – by giving you an experience, Phenix will always leave you with something. Coming from a place of true expression and the beauty that becomes you once you have been bathed in life’s fire, Phenix is a movement.
