JORDAN UMBACH HONORS HIS “HOMETOWN” WITH NEW ALBUM

By admin

Nashville, TN (September 9, 2022) – Country music recording artist Jordan Umbach recently released his new full-length album called “Hometown.” You can listen to the collection of songs HERE!

Track Listing:
1. Life in the Valley
2. Party in Our Hometown
3. Hot Shot Quarterback
4. American Labor Song
5. Shaken or Stirred
6. When the Shine Wears Off
7. Break a Girl’s Heart
8. Let’s Make Time (co-written with Amanda Cramer)
9. Leavin
10. Your Rock
11. Katie
12. Peaches
13. We Try

“Hometown” depicts Jordan’s blue-collar roots and features songs about labor, equality, vulnerability and love. The title track features down-home lyrics like some wanna cross the state line and chase a California dream, some wanna stay in this town for a double dip at Dairy Queen, which many listeners are sure to relate to.

“We wanted to create an album that took classic American themes and put a fresh take on them,” Jordan explains. “My producer, Daniel Dennis, did a great job at giving the record a modern sound. We experimented a lot to find the balance between contemporary and traditional. We wanted to be anything but boring. Hometown is largely inspired by my hometown of Washington, Pennsylvania. We thought it was important for the ‘small town stories’ to be told in a non-traditional way.”

About Jordan Umbach:

His albums “Silhouette of Steel” and “Mercy,” released in Pittsburgh when he was 18, were critically acclaimed by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and other music publications.

SARAH MAE CHILTON RELEASES NEW ALBUM “TUCSON”

By admin

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:
1. Found Myself in the Desert
2. One of These Days
3. Go Away Ghost
4. Caving In
5. Copenhagen
6. Tucson
7. We are a Miracle

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.

About Sarah Mae Chilton:
Carolina born, Nashville trained and world bound. Sarah Mae Chilton’s positive, humorous approach to heartbreak and life adds a fresh voice to the pop and pop-country market. Born in Winston-Salem, NC, she first started performing gigs during high school at local writer’s nights, in her own rock band and for church youth events. During this time, she truly discovered her passion and realized that she wanted to be a music artist.

Sarah Mae got her degree from UNC Chapel Hill and studied Music Composition and Anthropology. Post-graduation she moved to Nashville, TN to pursue her musical dreams.

In Nashville, she makes a living singing on Broadway at Tootsies Orchid Lounge – a place famous for discovering legends such as Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson and many more. She has been able to write with artists from genres as varied as rap to country, including some Grammy-nominated writers. She now hosts weekly open-mic nights at the venue.

Sarah Mae Chilton has a lot of music up her sleeve these days and more ambition than ever to make her wildest dreams come true. In March of 2021, she released her album Southern Glitter Pop, followed by her subsequent album Tucson on June 3, 2022.

STEPHANIE RABUS RELEASES NEW ALBUM “MY TIME NOW”

Track Listing:

1.Falling Deep In Love Again
2. I Can Do That Too
3. I Want What I Shouldn’t Have
4. Safe Place to Fall
5. Buying Time, Living Now
6. Back in the Bottle
7. Don’t Be Playing Games With Love 8. No Pain, No Glory
9. You Did a Number On Me
10. One Moment at a Time
11. I Know Where Love Lives

“My Time Now is an album that tells stories about falling in love, losing love, realizing the importance of taking life one moment at a time and knowing it was all worth it in the end,” Stephanie explains. “This album showcases who I am as an artist and is influenced by many genres – 90’s country, pop-country rock-infused and even some blues. My Time Now is very personal for me, as it marks a dream I’ve worked towards for many years.

About Stephanie Rabus:

Stephanie Rabus is a singer/songwriter living in Nashville, TN. She started singing at the age of eleven. At that time, her dad, Jerry, was the drummer for their next-door neighbor who was an Elvis impersonator. One night while they were having a get together playing music, she asked to borrow the microphone and belted out a song from the movie The Little Mermaid a cappella. Being impressed by what they heard, her parents quickly bought her a karaoke machine and some cassette tapes to go with it – and the rest was history.

Stephanie was a self-conscious child, having a cross-eye that was later corrected with surgery at age fifteen, and open heart surgery years before that for a severe heart murmur.

She struggled with low self-esteem believing she was overweight, comparing herself to her three thin siblings. It was discovering her talent of music that she started to find her confidence and feel like she had found her place in the world. Noticing the effect that the songs she sang had on people and how it would make them feel good, emotional or even understood, she knew that music was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

With years of singing in cover bands under her belt, performing songs by artists ranging from Martina McBride and Shania Twain to Whitney Houston and Celine Dion, as well as Pat Benatar, P!nk and Kelly Clarkson, Stephanie developed a unique style combining country, soul, pop and rock.

Stephanie currently travels to the St. Louis, Missouri/Southern Illinois area to perform as the lead singer of the popular St. Louis-based band Borderline. They regularly play big fairs and festivals in the summer months and some of the most popular music clubs and venues in the area all year around. They have had the honor of opening for many major artists such as Little Texas, Bryan White, Lee Brice, Cassadee Pope, Tyler Farr, Jarod Niemann, Lindsay Ell, Confederate Railroad, Mark Wills and more. She also performs in Nashville at popular honky-tonks on Broadway.

Stephanie’s new album My Time Now was released on April 12, 2022.

This is a great introduction to me as an artist and I can’t wait to see which ones people gravitate towards!”

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 4th 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 the releases of several subsequent singles, including Sippin’ on Somethin’, Summer Style, Summer Dress, Neon Nobody and Midnight Daydream.

In late 2021, Allison began performing Country music and classic Rock n’ Roll hits with her band on Broadway, Nashville’s legendary strip of honky-tonks. Her debut album entitled “Texas to Tennessee” was released on February 11, 2022 and is currently 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 attending Nashville Predators hockey games and sampling craft beers at local breweries.
