Nashville, TN (January 5, 2024) – Nashille-based pop singer/songwriter and reigning Miss Music City, Cassandra, recently released her new “Popera” single called “Queen of Every Night.” You can listen to the song HERE!

“Popera” is a new genre, blending opera and pop music together to create a new experience of music – by sampling opera arias, layering them on pop tracks, and writing and recording a pop song over the top of that track – that appeals to mainstream listeners.

With alluring lyrics like ’cause the way my hair flips when the bass hits wraps you up like diamonds in my necklace, “Queen of Every Night” took inspiration from classical pieces like the “Queen of the Night” aria from Mozart’s “The Magic Flute” and Pachelbel’s Cannon in D, as well as pop elements from today’s hitmakers like Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande and Billie Eilish.

“Research has shown that Gen Z listens to significantly less classical music than older generations,” Cassandra explains. “In a world where pop music has been booming and the classical world seems to be ever-fading, a change was necessary. Popera has the ability to change the music world as we know it!”
In addition to releasing new music, Cassandra is currently singing with the Nashville Operaas a soprano ensemble member in Mozart’s “The Magic Flute.” She is also a lead soprano in Nashville Opera’s Opera on Wheels program.

About Cassandra:
Born in Rockville, MD, Cassandra (Pinataro) began singing as soon as she could speak. She grew up in Duluth, GA before moving to Binghamton, NY for middle school and high school. Her family now resides in Atlanta, GA. “Every city I’ve lived in has taught me something about myself and the world around me,” she explains. “Although it was difficult to move often, I’m grateful for the memories I have made and the lessons I have learned in each place.” 
 
In high school, Cassandra began to dabble with her songwriting skills, composing several pop songs but never releasing them. It wasn’t until the Coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. in 2020 that she found what she loved most about the creative process of music. She started writing and co-writing pop music and began recording soon after.

As a trained opera singer, Cassandra has a vast vocal range that spans over four octaves. She has a fierce sound, with the ability to seamlessly weave in and out of tricky vocal runs that would trip up most singers.  As an artist, her goal is to never treat two songs the same, thus developing a new sound for each one.

Cassandra graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music with a Bachelor’s degree in Classical Voice Performance. In late 2023, she graduated from Berklee College of Music with a Masters in Music Business and a 4.0 GPA. Her 35-page thesis paper revolved around the concept of “Popera” music.

Cassandra was also a finalist in the 2023 John Lennon Songwriting Contest.

With a combined total almost 500K streams on Spotify, Cassandra uses her talent to spread encouraging messages through her music.

Nashville, TN (December 1, 2023) – Country music singer/songwriter and recording artist Camille Harrison recently released her cover of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.” You can listen to the holiday tune HERE!

“O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, a Christian hymn for Advent and Christmas, is one I’ve wanted to record for years,” Camille shares. “This hymn has its origins over 1,200 years ago in monastic life. When developing this arrangement and looking at the lyrics, it was begging to give voice to those hurting or suffering and I have hopefully expressed that in the musical interludes between each verse…

For a new approach to this piece, I chose a descending chromatic chord progression for the last two verses, which seemed to work well along with ending on a Picardy third – turning from a minor to a major key.  And, of course, singing the lead and background vocals were a joy. The contributions of musicians and engineers were incredible and I am thrilled to share my rendition of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.”
The single, released on December 1, 2023, is already receiving rave reviews from press and listeners alike:

“Camille’s stunning delivery of ‘O Come O Come Emmanuel,’ with her classy vibrato echoing off the cello’s strings, is the soothing sound we need this season. The recording builds wonderfully with piano, harmonies, and showcases Camille’s vocal range, never overdone, but used sparingly for storytelling emphasis on this fine new interpretation of the mid-1800s composition.”
–Warren Kurtz (Goldmine)

“Camille has such a beautiful vocal tone and this song was the perfect choice for her.”
–Music City Melodies

“O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” is Camille’s most recent Christmas single, following the release of her 2021 album “Christmas with You.”

Track Listing:
1. Christmas Dreams Come True
2. Jesus, The Good Shepherd
3. Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming, O Little Town of Bethlehem
4. Christmas with You in My Heart
5. The Holly and The Ivy
6. What Child Is This
7. Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella
8. Christmas Dreams Come True, O Come All Ye Faithful (Reprise)


About Camille Harrison:
Camille Harrison, an American singer songwriter, pianist, guitarist, engineer, and producer, was born in the home of country music capital, Nashville, Tennessee, and has spent a time in the musical melting mecca, Memphis, Tennessee. Her gift for singing was discovered early on while she was singing on country music jamborees (produced by her father) following her early childhood years of singing church and classical pieces with her mother (a classical pianist).

Before the age of 20, Harrison’s professional career was on a fast-track; performing at Mid-South Concerts, Memphis Country Jubilee, Millington Navy Base, the Orpheum, Mid-South Coliseum, Beale Street nightspots, Liberty Land Theme Park Land and Opryland Theme Park, headliner in the Memphis Symphony Orchestra’s Sunset Symphony and Memphis in May festivals for three consecutive years and touring throughout Europe. Camille has also enjoyed opening shows for many of her heroes, including Hank Williams, Jr., Conway Twitty, Dottie West, Dolly Parton, Vern Gosdin and Tom T. Hall, and landing leading roles such as Mabel in Pirates of Penzance gave her a deep admiration for a plethora of genres of music.

With her love music encouraged by her mother and father, various opportunities came very quickly for her. Along with listening to her favorites, Dolly, Streisand, Sinatra, Olivia, Ella, Hank Jr., Lily Pons and Ricki Lee Jones in her early years, her studies gave her wide range of musical styles and a nice platform for her songwriting as she wrote for different publishers and then for releasing independent records of her own; The Big Parade, The Jelly Bean Jar, When it Comes to Love, and others. Camille has also sung on other recordings, such as Prince of Egypt soundtrack, “One Road Man” by Chris LeDoux, and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones’ first album.

A lover of all things Christmas, Camille uses her gift of music to encourage and uplift people during the holiday season. She released her newest single, “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” on December 1, 2023.

With suggestive yet captivating lyrics like from a backseat in Memphis, that’s how I got my name, “Maserati” showcases Michael Shaun Brown’s natural flair for storytelling.

“More than anything, I hope that people appreciate the fact that the music I make is real and pure,” MSB shares. “From the writing of the songs, to the recording process, to the final product. I just want folks to dig real music, played by real people, for real people.”


About Michael Shaun Brown:

Born and raised in the heart of Appalachia, Michael Shaun Brown’s musical roots run deep. When you grow up a few miles from the birthplace of country music, you tend to have the simple beginnings and the soul of country music in your blood. Brown left his home in Southwest Virginia in 2011 and made his way to Nashville to pursue his career in country music and hone his skills in songwriting and musicianship. He spent time writing and recording by day and performed in the Honky Tonk bars by night. He played thousands of shows and formed a Southern Rock/Alt country band called Bone Feather, which made two records and toured all over the country.


Michael has had the privilege of sharing the stage with music hit-makers like Toby Keith, Jamey Johnson, Randy Houser, Kid Rock, Montgomery Gentry, Joe Diffie, Terri Clark, Mark Wills, Travis Tritt, Dillon Carmichael, the Kentucky Headhunters and more.
 

When the Pandemic of 2020 hit, Michael made the decision to relocate his family to Missouri, where he is now raising his daughters in a more rural environment like the one that he got to enjoy as a child. Michael continues to write and record music and enjoys the more subtle atmosphere.

On December 26th, 2020, MSB released “From the Start” – his first single as a solo artist since 2015 – with the heartfelt message to his wife (Aaryn). He wrote the song as a surprise to her on their wedding day, which also had to be rescheduled due to COVID-19. With a fresh and simple sound, Brown has taken a new direction in his artistry with this track, implementing the influences of his southern Appalachian roots while expressing his true emotions as a modern love song.

Michael’s subsequent single, “Maserati,” is now available on all streaming platforms.

Nashville, TN (November 17, 2023) – Country breakout artist Byrdie Wilson recently released her new single “Where My Roots Run.” You can listen to the song HERE!

With illustrative, storytelling lyrics like a mix of Sunday morning church bells and a redneck raising hell, “Where My Roots Run” is an autobiographical montage of Byrdie’s life.

“This song echoes the legacy of my family, reminding me of the importance of honoring our past,” Byrdie shares. “It’s a testament to the strength and resilience that comes from embracing where we come from, regardless of the circumstances. Although I have northern roots, most of my experiences took place in the south when my family moved to South Carolina after the terrorist attacks on 9/11. Through this melody, I celebrate the growth and transformation that has shaped me, acknowledging that our roots, no matter how challenging, have the power to inspire and define our journey.”

Beginning in December, Byrdie will also be embarking on her “Where My Roots Run” mini hometown tour. She will be making a special stop at Coffee Underground in Greenville, SC, in honor of her late boyfriend, whom Byrdie lost to suicide. Proceeds from the show will benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention South Carolina (AFSPSC). Tickets are donation-based ($10-$100) and can be purchased HERE.

Byrdie will also be speaking to students at Mauldin High School about the importance of mental health. “It is often a challenge coming home because it brings back so many memories,” Byrdie explains. “I’d love to turn my visit into a positive.”

About Byrdie Wilson:
Born in New York and transplanted to South Carolina when she was 4 years old, Byrdie Wilson was born with a cleft palate and endured several surgeries. With the likelihood that her speech would still be impaired, countless hours and lots of sleepless nights were spent researching the best care for her to make sure she would not face the challenges that children with cleft palate and facial deformities deal with. Tears would fall on her newborn face as her mom would rock her to sleep, praying that she’d be able to talk and hear normally. 

With lots of love and affection, Byrdie evolved into a sassy little six-year-old and performed in a talent show she signed herself up for. As she was getting ready, she instructed her family that they “needed to get on board because she’s going to be someone!”

Working in her early years with vocal coaches Celeste Simone and American Idol coach, Michael Orland, Byrdie was prepared to work with The Peter Frampton Band‘s musician, singer/songwriter Rob Arthur, to produce her first three songs “Fool for You,” “Stay” and “Breaking Free” in 2018.  

She took a brief hiatus from music in 2019 and 2020, but it wasn’t until the death of her boyfriend in November 2020 when she found solace and healing in her song writing again.  Through her experience, Byrdie has become an advocate of mental health and suicide prevention.  In March 2021, Byrdie found the guidance, mentorship and friendship of musician, singer/songwriter and producer Erik Halbig. 

At 19, Byrdie took the leap and moved to Nashville, TN, turning up the volume on her natural-born “sass” with even more feistiness.  Her single “Broadway” gained traction on TikTok with over 49K views and the song currently has over 17K streams on Spotify.

She released her newest single “Where My Roots Run” on November 17, 2023, along with her second music video.
