Nashville, TN (September 18, 2020) – Show Country singer/songwriter Misty Dawn recently released her new single, “No Good in Goodbye.” You can listen to it HERE!

With heart-wrenching lyrics like the drive that day felt like years, and the highways and byways bled into the tears, I placed goodwill at the foot of your door, but you don’t collect my posts anymore, “No Good in Goodbye” tells a relatable story of a grief-stricken couple. You can watch the official lyric video HERE!

“After ending a six-year relationship where there really wasn’t anything wrong other than the two of us wanting different long-term goals, I felt sad – but mostly weary,” Misty explains. “This was the second major relationship that had put my all into and it didn’t pan out. We cared deeply for each other but it just felt like this strange swirl of emotions. I simultaneously was heartbroken and also trying to find the silver lining so I could move forward towards a more aligned relationship. I wanted this song to capture the multiple expressions of heartbreak and goodbyes; they are weird, painful, hard, and also can carry a glimmer of hope.”

About Misty Dawn:
Say goodbye to Bro-Country and hello to SHOW COUNTRY. Since the age of six, Texas native Misty Dawn has been performing in professional theatre and television productions. From hosting a video game review show on TV to being one of the puppet-artists-in-residence at St. Anne’s Warehouse for a season, Misty has a knack for exploring the art of storytelling. With a Theatre degree, several off-Broadway productions, and a few international tours under her belt, it’s no surprise that’s she’s infused her theatrical upbringing into her music. In fact, she’s calling her unique brand of country Show Country as it mixes elements of musical theatre, soul country, outlaw country and Americana into her music. While her sound harkens back to a classic country era and she looks to join the ranks of the Ameripolitan crowd, her message is anything but traditional. Misty takes a no-nonsense approach to re-writing the topics women typically sing about with songs about traditional female roles, poking at the holes in religious and political establishments, and embracing a brazen, sexually empowered version of a woman.

While early influences include Reba, Crystal Gayle, Shania Twain and Jo Dee Messina, Misty looks to artists like Margo Price, Kacey Musgraves and Brandi Carlile as beacons.

Misty’s current project, Mountains, is her first project as a solo artist. Previously, she’s vocally supported NYC artists Matt Singer and Jay Mankind on their albums and performing alongside them at classic NYC spots like Rockwood, Union Hall and Pianos. She also lends her vocal harmonies to Denver artist Daryl Purpose on his upcoming album. She wrote the titular track in honor of her father, Gary who is no longer on this Earth but who passed on his love of the mountains and his love of singing to Misty.

Nashville, TN (August 28, 2020) – Near deaf singer/songwriter Aaron Schilb recently released his newest single, “Millennials.” You can listen to it HERE!

With comical lyrics like they’ll tell you that they’re country ’cause their Daddy drives a truck, and they’ll Netflix and they’ll chill because they all just wanna…cuddle, “Millennials” brings a bit of light-hearted fun to a world currently filled with chaos.

“My career as a musician has constantly been met with roadblocks – most notably, my loss of hearing,” Aaron explains. “The message behind Millennials is that we have to be able to laugh at ourselves and our silliness despite these hardships. If a guy who has lost almost all of his hearing can still be a musician, there’s no reason not to chase after that thing you might still be dreaming about.”

About Aaron Schilb:
Aaron Schilb’s hearing began a steady decline as an adolescent. Caused by an inner ear disorder called “Otosclerosis,” the result was degenerative hearing loss – eventually forcing him to wear hearing aids. With a love for music from a young age, doctors, audiologists, family and friends alike pushed Aaron to quit music and pursue something that wouldn’t potentially damage his hearing further. He did no such thing.

While he only performed in bands throughout high school as a guitarist, Aaron went on to study music theory and composition in college, devoting all his creative energy to songwriting.

After more than 15 years of performing and writing, Aaron now lives in Nashville, TN, working as a professional songwriter, touring instrumentalist, jingle composer, podcaster and owner of the popular concert promotion business Nashville Tour Stop.

So whether it’s a silly song or driving rock and roll, Aaron’s music isn’t meant to be heard…it’s meant to be felt.

“I play music for the connection,” Derek explains. “I love how music brings people of all backgrounds together – especially at live events. It doesn’t matter your background or where you may be headed in life – at that moment, the crowd and the band become one and share that moment. That moment can never be taken from us.”

About Derek Randall:
All it took was singing along to a Garth Brooks CD in his mother’s station wagon for a young Derek Randall to find his direction in life. He grew up in Missouri where he found his love of sound from artists like Frank Sinatra and Klaus Meine. After learning some guitar chords in high school, Derek was launched into the genre of rock where his band opened for the likes of Seether, Saliva, Shinedown and Halestorm. Now he is taking his rock roots and lively stage presence to the country music world. His diverse experience and influence allow him to create his own unique sound – a mixed-drink of emotion-packed country and fist-pumping rock ‘n roll.
