EMILY MYERS RELEASES OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “UNWRITE EVERY SONG”

Nashville, TN (June 17, 2022) – Country music singer/songwriter Emily Myers recently released the official music video for her single “Unwrite Every Song.” You can watch the video HERE!
With touching lyrics like these melodies are memories that I’ve had to live, heartaches, mistakes, regrets to forgive, “Unwrite Every Song” (written by Emily Myers, Amanda McCarthy and Tom Shubsda) describes a beautiful narrative that many listeners will relate to.
“I am inspired by everyday stories – what makes someone laugh, cry, persevere,” Emily explains. “I create music to give these stories, both yours and mine, an outlet to reveal our deep similarities and learn from our stark differences. Music is reminder that we are not alone. We are in this journey together.”

About Emily Myers:
Heartfelt vocals coalesce with a keen sense of imaginative storytelling, forming the backdrop to Emily Myers’ captivating Country/Americana sound. These visceral elements have been pivotal to Emily’s success, as she’s graced many stages across the U.S.

Hailing from Jefferson City, her upbringing nurtured her musical talents. Her vocal palette is wide and far-ranging, and is known to traverse styles all the way from Country-Pop to more singer/songwriter style piano ballads. Deeply rooted in her music is the art of storytelling, focusing on the themes of self-discovery, love, faith and lessons we encounter throughout life.

While the world ebbs and flows, music has been a constant in Emily Myers’ life. Her musical curiosity led her to take piano, voice, dance and guitar lessons at an early age, before discovering a passion for musical theatre. During her studies in opera and theatre at Oklahoma City University, she soon discovered her true calling in the craft of songwriting. It was not long before Emily was playing original songs to friends, and was hooked on the feeling of spreading and affecting positivity.

Emily’s newest single, ‘Unwrite Every Song,’ was released on May 13, 2022 and is the title track to an EP that will follow later this year. This song questions if you would rather not have the negative experiences of heartbreak and grief in life even if it means there wouldn’t be inspiration for the songs written. It is a song that perfectly represents who Emily is in this season of writing and highlights both the detailed, hope-filled storytelling and the soaring vocals that define her music.

This music follows ‘Bare Feet,’ her debut single released on Labor Day weekend, Friday, Sept. 4, 2020. It was followed by two more singles, ‘Skyline’ and ‘Wallflower,’ in the following months, with all three tracks perfectly capturing the mood and style that Emily Myers manifests in her productions.

Emily has embarked on a new business venture (started last year), writing custom songs for everyday people. She has written songs celebrating their biggest milestones from weddings to graduations to anniversaries and all the intimate, beautiful moments in between.

Additionally, Emily competed in the WAJ Competition & Immerse Competition, was a featured songwriter in Project21 concert series, and is also a professional worship leader.

SPENCER JORDAN COMES OUT WITH POWERFUL NEW SINGLE

Nashville, TN (June 17, 2022) – Pop singer/songwriter and recording artist Spencer Jordan recently released his new single “16 and in Love.” You can listen to the song HERE!

With honest lyrics like while all my friends are holding hands in hallways, out for the whole damn world to see, I’m hoping I won’t spend the rest of always wondering what it’s like to be, “16 and in Love” is one of Spencer’s most genuine songs yet.

“Pride month is a super happy and affirming time for me,” Spencer explains. “But, it’s also a time where I think deeply about how long I was in the closet. I feel like I’m a pretty well-adjusted young adult, but I still can’t help but feel like I missed out – all of the late night conversations my best friends were having about who they thought was cute – hell, I feel like I didn’t actually get to learn how to flirt! Every year around this time, I have to start unpacking this again. This year, I wrote a song about it. 16 and in Love is a love letter to high school and to anyone who has ever felt this way.”

Already a hit on TikTok, receiving over 350K views, fans have been leaving comments like:
“This song sums up so much of my life before coming out.”

“Being gay means being a teenager well into your 20/30s because our teenage years were filled with self-doubt…can’t wait for the song!”

“Beautiful and heartbreakingly relatable…thank you for making a song that encapsulates everything I feel.”

About Spencer Jordan:
Spencer Jordan is a pop singer/songwriter from Jupiter, Florida. After graduating from the University of Florida in 2016, he began his songwriting and artist career in Nashville, Tennessee. Spencer’s music is a mixture of the music he listened to growing up in his small beach town and the prevailing sounds found in today’s pop, and his writing focuses on the everyday struggles and victories that come with life, love, and growing up. He released his debut EP Season 1 in the fall of 2020 and is currently a published writer with 300 Entertainment.

I truly believe that music has the power to break through barriers and bring people hope again.

Nashville, TN (June 3, 2022) – Independent recording artist Sarah Mae Chilton recently released her new, seven-song album entitled “Tucson.” You can listen to it HERE!

Track Listing:

At the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, Sarah Mae went out to Tucson, Arizona where her dad had recently moved. She stayed in The Grand Canyon State for six months, recording music that was inspired by the Wild Wild West.

“The Tucson record was truly a miracle album,” Sarah Mae explains. “When Covid first hit, I was literally at a crossroads. I was in a fallout with some good friends, dealing with the aftermath of a toxic relationship, barely making enough on Broadway to cover expenses and in new recovery. Things were not looking good. Going out to Tucson, I found myself again. I got healing in the Arizona sunshine – the most beautiful place I’d ever seen. A generous neighbor offered to support a record and chose a famous studio known for recording for Iron and Wine. The music out there has a lot of inspiration from Mariachi bands and Hispanic culture. Tucson is about love and it’s about miracles. It’s a story of new beginnings and choosing to look toward the sunshine.”

Sarah Mae previously released “Caving In” and “Go Away Ghost,” both receiving positive feedback from fans and press.

MEXX HEART RELEASES TOUCHING NEW SINGLE IN MEMORY OF BROTHER

Nashville, TN (May 30, 2022) – Indie singer/songwriter and recording artist Mexx Heartrecently released her new single “Another Chance,” in honor of her late brother. You can listen to the touching song HERE!

With gripping lyrics like What could we have done different? What did I need to say? I swear I kept your secrets in my heart buried away, “Another Chance” is a beautiful acoustic tribute that will pull on the heartstrings of many.

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to an end, Mexx continues to shine a light on the important matter. “Depression and suicidal thoughts usually affect those who are
often laughing louder than anyone else in the room,” she explains. “That’s what it looks like. Most people don’t bother to check up on the ones who seem happy. I’m struggling mentally right now is not an easy thing to admit. I buried my barely 20 year old brother and I’m hoping as mental health gains more awareness and the stigma fades, nobody else will have to bury someone they love.”

When speaking on the loss of her brother to suicide, Mexx explained: “If there’s one thing I’ve learned, the most helpful thing you can do is be there for people. The first few weeks are the roughest. The ones left behind are often fighting the trauma, asking questions and trying to find closure – most often dealing with survivor’s guilt – but, they often still neglect themselves. Clean a room in their house or cook them a meal. Be a shoulder to cry on, especially. Knowing that they don’t have to walk through the fog alone will be a massive weight lifted off the shoulders.”

About Mexx Heart:
Raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Mexx Heart discovered her passion for music at a young age. When she was a child, her father would blast his favorites through the radio, heavily influencing her eclectic musical tastes. Inspired by artists like Green Day, Billy
Idol and Van Halen, Heart has cultivated her own unique sound.

In the spring of 2020, Mexx released her first single entitled “Roses.” She released her following singles, “Comatose” and “Skipping Stones,” that September. In February 2021, she released a cover of Green Day’s “American Idiot.” Her new acoustic single “Another Chance” releases in May 2022. She plans to release a full album later this year, featuring a new sound influenced by Taylor Swift (“Folklore” and “Evermore”), The Band Camino and Kingston Hythe.

Mexx continues to leave her mark on the music industry, showcasing her skills both behind the mic and in the studio. Heart was nominated for a coveted Josie Music Award in 2021 and attended the 2022 Grammy Awards with producer Justine Blazer. She had the honor of performing at Barry Manilow’s Grammy afterparty as well, which took place at his luxury penthouse.

“I really enjoyed the first chunk of the pandemic,” Julia explains. “I know that sounds messed up, but I’m an introvert who struggles with anxiety and depression.

I really spent that time reconnecting with myself, and honestly, I know that I’m better for it.”

Cannon credits her genre-bending style to influences such as Ella FitzgeraldPaul McCartney, and Stevie Wonder. In July of 2021, she released her EP Listening, which received positive feedback from both fans and the press. Her newest single “Glow” was released on May 20, 2022.

JOE HERMES RELEASES NEW SINGLE “WHISKEY FIXER UPPER”

Nashville, TN (May 20, 2022) – Southern Rock recording artist Joe Hermes recently released his new single “Whiskey Fixer Upper.” You can listen to the song HERE!

Inspired by a personal mantra of the harder you work, the luckier you get, Joe Hermes is all about making music that tells the story of living the daily grind. His new single “Whiskey Fixer Upper” is an American blue-collar anthem, geared to lift the spirits of hard-working men and women everywhere. With the help of Grammy-winning producer Dale Oliver and hit songwriter Dan Couch, Hermes has found a fun and relatable way to depict this rewarding lifestyle.

Known for his honest lyricism, writing and playing music became a form of therapy for Joe in his adult years. “I have learned to channel some of the most difficult parts of my life through songs, as well as how I have worked through them,” he explains. “I put my music out into the world in hopes that it can help others or provide some empathy. No matter if you are at the lowest of lows or at the highest of highs, I want to have a song that can be with you in that moment.”

“Whiskey Fixer Upper” is the follow-up to his most recent single “Stronger Than Whiskey,” which received extensive national radio airplay. The Illinois-based artist continues to build a large and loyal regional following, attracting fans who connect with his no-nonsense approach and rock-infused live shows.

About Joe Hermes:
Joe Hermes discovered his passion for music while growing up in a little country town a couple hours south of Chicago. He remembers playing air guitar and singing along to Bon Jovi songs at family gatherings, which many people still remind him of to this day. Raised in a close-knit family, his father taught him business while his mother instilled faith and compassion into Joe and his siblings.

By grade school, Joe knew he wanted to make music his career when he heard Metallica on a Pizza Hut jukebox with his friends. He played in bands throughout his teenage years, cultivating his edgy blend of rock, modern country and soulful sounds. A high school football standout, Joe attended Quincy University on a scholarship before graduating from Eureka College. He went on to receive his Master’s Degree from Illinois State University.

In 2019, Joe returned to the music industry with a new band and a professionally produced EP. His plans came to a screeching halt with the entrance of the Covid-19 global pandemic. With the lack of shows to promote and the diminishing goals being met, the beginning of 2020 challenged Joe almost to his breaking point. In June of that same year, he was introduced to Grammy Award winning producer and manager, Dale Oliver, through a mutual friend. They began meeting with songwriters and pushing through all the obstacles that stood in their way.

Joe worked closely with country music’s Bucky Covington, developing his first single “Stronger than Whiskey.” The song was released in summer 2021, launching a successful radio tour with live on-air performances across Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama. “Stronger than Whiskey” charted for 25 weeks on Nashville’s famous Music Row, debuting at #143 and landing at #81.

Later that year, Joe opened for various country music headlining acts including superstar Craig Campbell and The Voice’s Kinsey Rose. He also got to showcase a more edgier side, opening for rock n’ roll bands Black Stone Cherry and Head East at the McLean County Fair in Illinois.

Joe’s newest single “Whiskey Fixer Upper” (written and produced by hit songwriter Dan Couch and Grammy-winner Dale Oliver) was released on May 20, 2022.
