What others have said about Whitehall: "“Rose” opens with a reverberated guitar and vocals, joined shortly by the rest of the band and offering us a bouncing rhythm that is sure to repel the thoughts of one’s impending seasonal depression. It is definitely a song designed for driving with the windows down, so be sure to squeeze it in before winter rips out our souls."- Up To Hear "Half garage-rock noise, half polished guitar pop...massive riffs and muscular rhythms...raw-but-melodic gems, gleaming with shimmering hooks and big, full-throated choruses."- Charleston City Paper "There are moments on this album where you’ll find yourself nodding in agreement, or cringing in disgust at yourself because of a certain uncomfortable memory that the lyrics bring to mind. These moments are often accompanied by loud, beefy guitar tones and well-timed drum hits that exist to help ease the pain.- Extra Chill "The 4-piece write on ideas of aging, personal growth and their thoughts and feelings as the group enters their mid-20’s. It’s a holistic idea of what this band is all about, combined with all the sonic elements that craft their earnest and hearty songs."- Play Too Much

For Immediate Release— Rodney Rice Checks Out When He Checks Into The “Rabbit Ears Motel” New single from upcoming album Rodney Rice; Out May 19th; Watch the neon-soaked “Rabbit Ears Motel” video today March 10, 2023 - Denver, Colorado - “My wife and I got married outside of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, along a county highway that overlooked the valley,” recalls West Virginia-born songwriter Rodney Rice. “When we were leaving town she said, ‘You should write a song about this place.’” “This place,” specifically, was the Rabbit Ears Motel, a Steamboat Springs staple marked by its classic neon sign. Today, Rice released a new song from his upcoming self-titled album; a rambunctious country shuffle called “Rabbit Ears Motel.” Echoing classics from the likes of Pure Prairie League, the Supersuckers, Jason & the Scorchers, and Jimmy Buffett’s first couple of albums, “Rabbit Ears Motel” is about so much more than a place to stay in Colorado. Telecaster licks jump around pedal steel fills between Rice’s refrain of “Checking out when I check in to the Rabbit Ears Motel.” But what’s it really about? “The power of suggestion is real. So is the power of love, encouragement, and support,” says Rice. “I have been lucky enough to find myself surrounded by great people who have provided me with an abundance of love, encouragement, and support.”  “Rabbit Ears Motel” is part of Rice’s third full-length album, the upcoming Rodney Rice. Out on May 19th, Rodney Rice finds Rice traveling over a wide terrain of emotion; from the death of beloved grandparents and the loss of a cherished pet to the grueling monotony of the road and the joyful celebration of marriage. Rice knows just how to capture the fleeting glimmers of an emotional moment in life and turn them into songs that evoke our own feelings of despair and hope; loss and love. And he delivers those lyrics with a knowing nod and wink, creating memorable characters in his songs whose foibles remind us of folks we know. As he says, “Music is a common language that reaches all and brings people from worlds apart together.” Rice cannily matches music with lyrics, pairing a glimpse of a world turned upside down with a jaunty New Orleans jazz swing melody or an ode to young love with a lively country shuffle.   Fans can stream or purchase “Rabbit Ears Motel” right now at this link and pre-order or pre-save Rodney Rice ahead of its May 19th release right here. “Rabbit Ears Motel” also has an accompanying music video by director Joshua Shoemaker which follows Rice on a time-warped, neon-soaked journey through the lyrics, and characters, of his brand-new tune. Watch the video right here.  Aside from his regular tour dates—which resume on March 24th in Boulder, Colorado—Rice will be fronting the infamous Ice Cold Pickers house band at Santa’s Pub in Nashville on Sunday, April 30th. A full list of tour dates can be found below or at rodneyrice.com/tour.

"Rabbit Ears Motel" - Rodney Rice Rodney Rice Tracklist: How You Told Me So Get To Where I’m Going Nothing To Lose Rabbit Ears Motel Roll River Roll Little Pieces Set Em Up Wonder Where I Came From Every Passing Day More About Rodney Rice (The Album): On his self-titled third album, Rodney Rice, Rice is joined by a host of stellar musicians: Dave Racine on drums; Dennis Crouch and Jack Lawrence on bass; Jeff Taylor and Micah Hulscher on keys; Steve Daly and Sean Thompson on guitars; Kirk Donovan on trumpet; and Sam Hoffman, Maureen Murphy, Kyshona Armstrong, and Nickie Conley on background vocals. Drew Carroll produced Rodney Rice, which was recorded at Nashville’s Bomb Shelter studio. More About Rodney Rice (The Artist): Rice was surrounded by music growing up, whether on radio, kitchen tape deck, or television. When he was about 12, he started playing the guitar. “I knew a couple chords and started writing soon after learning them, actually I think I still only know a couple chords” he laughs. Rice worked for a while on oil and gas rigs in Texas. One night he talked to Jason McKenzie, (longtime drummer for Billy Joe Shaver), and McKenzie pointed him to the Congress house studio in Austin, where Rice made his first two albums, Empty Pockets and a Troubled Mind and Same Shirt, Different Day.  His first album found success on the Freeform Americana Radio chart, while his second album reached number 30 on the Americana Music Association albums chart, after debuting at number 9 on the European Americana Chart. For his eponymous third album, Rodney Rice, Rice found a studio, through album notes, the Bomb Shelter, in Nashville, and finally reached out to them amid the pandemic. For this album, he says, “The process was more analog, and combined with changing all the variables it’s no surprise there is a distinct difference between this one and my first two albums.” Rice’s warm, gritty vocals, his ingenious and canny lyricism, and his ability to lay down a melody move listeners emotionally and physically, encouraging them to get up and dance even as they let the lyrics settle into their hearts.  Catch Rodney Rice On Tour: March 24 - BOCO - Boulder, CO March 25 - Zuni Street Brewing Company - Denver, CO March 31 - Snowpack Taproom & Kitchen - Conifer, CO April 7 - Taos Lifestyle - Taos, NM April 15 - The Speakeasy - Longmont, CO April 30 - Santa's Pub - Nashville, TN * May 19 - Broadway Roxy - Denver, CO  May 20 - Trinidad Lounge - Trinidad, CO May 26 - Swing Station - Laporte, CO June 16 - Reed's Package Liquors - Laramie, WY June 17 - the press. - Steamboat Springs, CO June 23 - Soulcraft Brewing - Salida, CO June 24 - Benson's Tavern and Beer Garden - Salida, CO  July 7 - The Bull Pin Bowling Alley & Sports Bar - Estes Park, CO July 8 - The Speakeasy - Longmont, CO July 14 - Stagecoach Saloon - Franktown, CO  August 5 - Stagecoach Saloon - Franktown, CO  Sept 1 - Stagecoach Saloon - Franktown, CO Sept 9 - The Speakeasy - Longmont, CO *With the Ice Cold Pickers For all dates and ticket information, please visit rodneyrice.com/tour. ###

 

RISING HIP-HOP ARTIST SASH DROPS SECOND SINGLE OFF NEW PROJECT, “THIN ICE” WATCH/LISTEN HERE

March 10, 2023 (New York, NY) - Emerging hip-hop artist SASH proves that winter isn’t over yet with chilling new single “THIN ICE.” The track was produced with Apex Martin (Travis Scott, Ty Dolla $ign, G-Eazy) and Mike Dean (Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, The Weeknd, Travis Scott) and comes after last month’s single “ROSSI,” which premiered exclusively with PAPER. His upcoming project builds on the universe established in his debut project, Bittersweet, which was released to widespread acclaim from Zane Lowe, Variety, Complex, Wonderland, and HYPEBEAST among others. Listen to “THIN ICE” HERE and watch the video, directed by SASH and Diego Andrade, HERE. “THIN ICE” combines delicate piano riffs with thundering bass to create a horror-inspired sound. The infectious beat paired with SASH’s suave vocals culminates in a fast-paced track which reflects the uneasy feeling of the song. The accompanying music video brings more mystery and depth to the track, featuring SASH playing a game of chess against himself. SASH describes the single as “a song about the uncertainty or unpredictability of life on the move. Making a home out of wherever you go rather than a home in a certain location. Never staying put and finding comfortability in the unknown - like a walk on a lake that is frozen over with a thin sheet of ice.” SASH’s innate ability to blend classic and modern sounds stems from his upbringing on the Lower East Side. As a seventh generation New Yorker, SASH pulls much of his inspiration from the city - namely the moodiness and sophistication of 1970’s jazz clubs and film noir. His father was also a major musical influence, raising SASH on his extensive hip-hop vinyl collection. SASH channels both of these styles in his music, videos, and overall aesthetic as he builds out his artistic landscape. With plenty of new music on the way, we can expect to continue gaining insight into SASH’s universe!

 TIM MCGRAW DEBUTS BRAND NEW SINGLE

“STANDING ROOM ONLY”  

McGraw's 17th Studio Album STANDING ROOM ONLY Due Later This Year

Listen to “Standing Room Only” – Available Everywhere Now


Photo Credit: Robby Klein

Nashville, TN (March 10, 2023) – Today, three-time Grammy® winner and superstar Tim McGraw unveils his brand new single "Standing Room Only" – available now on all streaming platforms. The highly anticipated single is the title track from McGraw’s forthcoming 17th studio album due later this year on Big Machine Records. Listen to “Standing Room Only” here and watch the lyric video here.

“Standing Room Only” was written by Craig Wiseman (“Live Like You Were Dying,” “Cowboy in Me,” “Where the Green Grass Grows”), Tommy Cecil and Patrick Murphy and produced by Byron Gallimore and McGraw.

The track is a stirring, introspective record filled with McGraw’s powerful vocals delivering a heartfelt examination of what it means to truly live life fully. With its release, he adds another poignant and meaningful song to his storied collection – alongside the likes of “Live Like You Were Dying” and “Humble and Kind,” whose messages continue to resonate deeply with fans worldwide.

Of the song, McGraw notes: “‘Standing Room Only’ caught my ear the first time I heard it because of its message. For me, this song is so positive and life affirming. It isn’t about the funeral or the procession, it’s about how we live in the here and now. How do we push ourselves and in which direction do we push ourselves? For me, it’s a reminder to live a life filled with gratitude and not take things for granted. Also, it’s a reminder to give back and be there for others.” 

McGraw teased the announcement of “Standing Room Only” by releasing a mysterious playlist of his songs ahead of the single called “McGraw Three-ten Twenty Three” which hinted at the release date and featured song titles that spelled out “Standing Room Only” with the first letter of each song.

“Standing Room Only” follows McGraw’s 45th No. 1 country single, “7500 OBO” which continues to build on McGraw’s deep bench of having a No. 1 song and No. 1 album in each of the past four decades. “7500 OBO” was also voted as a “10 Songs I Wish I Had Written” by NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association International).
 
Throughout his career, McGraw has amassed 46 total No. 1 singles (all formats), 68 Top 10’s, and holds the Mediabase record for the most weeks at No. 1 with all titles, totaling 73 weeks.

In 2021, McGraw released the deluxe version of his 16th studio album, Here On Earth, which debuted at No.1 on the Billboard Country album chart. The album was his 19th worldwide No.1 and his 17th U.S. No.1, tying him for second-most No. 1 albums in the U.S., just behind George Strait. 
 
Most recently, McGraw’s successful Tour 2022 included a run of selected sold-out amphitheaters and McGraw proved a titan across the 2022 music festival circuit, with performances at major rodeos in Houston, Dallas and San Antonio along with others. He will continue to perform across various shows and appearances in North America this year – full dates and details below, and more information can be found at www.TimMcGraw.com.

 KRISTIAN BUSH EMBRACES THIS YEAR AND EACH MOMENT IN HIS FOURTH AND FINAL INSTALLMENT OF HIS 

52 ALBUM SERIES AVAILABLE NOW


 

NASHVILLE, TN (March. 10, 2023)– GRAMMY® Award-winning singer/songwriter Kristian Bush today releases the final installment of his four-album layered release 52-This Year  via Big Machine Label Group. 
 
“I thought these songs were going to be orphans because I didn’t use them on the other collections,” Kristian says. “But as it turns out, these songs fit like puzzle pieces in a way that complete the picture of me all the way up until this moment.”
 

Listen to 52- This Year HERE.
Watch the "Can’t Fix" lyric video HERE.
 

With 52-This Year, the solo artist and Sugarland founder has completed a remarkable four albums within the span of one year—the same number of albums released by the Grammy-Award winning Sugarland to date. Across the 52 songs (one for each year of his life) and especially in the final 14, the multi-faceted singer/songwriter embraces his wisdom and experiences accumulated from decades spent in the music business. While each album brims with the singer’s signature grooves and contagious hope, the 52 experience begins and ends with the strings of loss. 

 

“52’s first volume ATL x BNA begins with two songs about death – and this last volume ends with a New Year’s resolution to spend more time with your people – no matter who they are, including yourself,” Kristian says. “My wish is that listeners will start to connect different songs in different ways as if it was their job to collect these songs into their own individual albums.”

 

The album title draws its name from the lyrics of the album’s final song, the deeply personal “New Year’s Resolution #7,” which Kristian wrote beside a fireplace on New Year’s Day 2016 while both reflecting and looking to the future.

 

“I was making a list of the things I wanted to do, what I wanted to change, and what I thought I got right last year that I should keep up,” Kristian says. “It is the truth of me, the closest you will probably ever get to knowing me, so it seems appropriate as the title to this final volume of 52.”

With more than three decades of music industry experience on his back, Kristian continues to assert his individuality, reinvent himself and expand his craft while staying true to himself and leaving his heart on the table…all while keeping his eye on the stretch goal. While juggling his impressive four-album release, Kristian launched and continues to deliver his weekly podcast, 52-The Podcast, that track-by-track explores the connection between his new songs and his past hits, produces his streaming phenom find Megan Moroney, leads his record label/publishing company Songs of the Architect, writes, records and performs with his Rock band Dark Water and his Folk Rock duo Billy Pilgrim and stays engaged with Sugarland’s audience – especially in light of the duo’s impending 20-year anniversary. 

“Fans have a true opportunity right now – between technology and timing – to hear a year in the life of a creator,” Kristian says. “I’m filled with gratitude for the support of the people who said yes over the last 30 years. Their timing was so unique that it helped me make my own fingerprint and that fingerprint is so unique that I hope someone sees what I’ve been able to accomplish and create and it gives them permission to know it’s possible.”
