NASHVILLE, TN (July 26, 2016) – Iconic songwriter and prolific singer Steven Tyler’s highly anticipated first solo album WE’RE ALL SOMEBODY FROM SOMEWHERE on Dot Records, underneath the Big Machine Label Group umbrella, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and earned the #1 spot on the iTunes Top Country Albums charts in both the US and Canada. Released Friday (7/15), the album quickly resonated among fans and critics alike proving “Tyler didn’t just parachute into Nashville for a visit, but walked around and breathed the air” (The Boston Globe).

Penning 12 out of the 15 tracks, Tyler also co-produced the album alongside legendary musicians/producers T Bone Burnett and Dann Huff in addition to Marti Frederikson and Jaren Johnston (The Cadillac Three). Highlights include “It Ain’t Easy” that “just about touches on brilliance” (Sounds Like Nashville) and the unifying title track which showcases "the perfect merge of Steven Tyler and country music" (Radio.com).

'"We're All Somebody from Somewhere" - Tyler's first solo album - plays to his strengths: inventive melodies, angelic harmonies, a juxtaposition of swagger and sensitivity, and room for that acrobatic voice to soar and strut.” – Associated Press

“…’We're All Somebody From Somewhere’ marries his raspy, unmistakable vocals with relatable lyrics and countrified sonics." – Rolling Stone Country

 “…one of the top albums by a male vocalist this year so far from Nashville.” – Sounds Like Nashville

NASHVILLE, TN (July 15, 2016) — After wrapping up the most successful first half in its 24-year history, Professional Bull Riders (PBR) has announced a new relationship with GRAMMY® award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Icon, Steven Tyler.

Tyler’s new song “Hold On (Won’t Let Go)” will be the new anthem driving PBR’s television broadcast openings on CBS and CBS Sports Network while helping kick off live events.

“Hold On (Won’t Let Go)” will be heard by fans at the beginning of each PBR on CBS television broadcast, in arenas holding PBR events coast to coast, and throughout PBR’s advertising and marketing, including a social media campaign kicking off next week. The song was written by Tyler along with five-time GRAMMY® award-winning songwriter Poo Bear and Jared Gutstadt, who has written for Brad Paisley, Lynryd Skynyrd, Dierks Bentley and others. It was co-produced by Tyler and nine-time GRAMMY® award-winner T Bone Burnett.

“Hold On (Won’t Let Go)” also appears on Tyler’s highly anticipated new debut solo album, “We’re All Somebody From Somewhere,” available now on Dot Records, underneath the Big Machine Label Group umbrella.

“The toughest 8 seconds in sports is staying on the back and riding that bull,” and Tyler. "A musician’s whole career is judged in 8 seconds or less. Whether it’s a song on the radio or a performance, there's no better anthem for the spirit of the game and the big win than ‘Hold On (Don't Let Go)’.”

Steven Tyler and Poo Bear are clients of WME | IMG, the parent company of PBR.

“There are two great athletes in every PBR ride – a fearless, determined cowboy and a powerful, rank bull,” said Sean Gleason, CEO of PBR.  “‘Hold On (Won’t Let Go)” is the quintessential PBR anthem because it gives equal lyrical weight to these two world-class athletes. Steven Tyler captures the essence of PBR with ‘Hold On (Won’t Let Go)’ like no other artist or song could. After 45 years recording with Aerosmith, Steven’s debut solo album includes PBR’s anthem. It’s a stand-out moment for our sport and we couldn’t be more honored.”

Billed as “the toughest eight seconds in sports” and featuring adrenaline-pumping production punctuated by hard-driving rock and roll, PBR has soared to new heights.  Television viewership on CBS is up +20 percent this season, and the sport has set 10 event attendance records.
