CAM DEBUTED "DIANE" WITH GOOD MORNING AMERICA AND RECEIVED SPECIAL SURPRISE FROM "JOLENE" QUEEN, DOLLY PARTON

April 6, 2018 (Los Angeles, CA) -  GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter Cam has been tapped as an artist ambassador alongside, Khalid and Noah Cyrus, for Sony's 'Lost In Music' Campaign launching today with a three-part video series.  Utilizing Sony's state-of-the-art technology, Cam tapped long-time producer, Jeff Bhasker (Bruno Mars, Harry Styles, Katy Perry, Rihanna), to reimagine the arrangement for her fiery brand new single, 'Diane'. Recorded in one-day in Los Angeles' legendary Sunset Sound studios, Cam delivers the originally up tempo, power song in a recreated live soulful ballad accompanied by Jeff on the piano. View the performance HERE.

Continuing to discover new heights for 'Diane', Cam debuted the "empowering and eminently danceable" (Rolling Stone) single on ABC's Good Morning America this week. Moments before her performance, Cam was shocked to receive a surprise message from her hero, Dolly Parton, praising 'Diane' as the reply to her renowned hit, 'Jolene'. 'Diane' offers fans a first glimpse at the dimension and direction of the GRAMMY-nominated artists' highly anticipated sophomore album expected later this year. In case you missed it, see the full performance and surprise message from Queen Dolly HERE.

Following New York, Cam kicks off her Spring tour dates and immediately jetted across the pond for her first UK headlining show of the year at London's Islington Assembly Hall on Sunday, April 8th.  Back in the States, Cam launches the Listening Room Series Tour on April 17th in Portland, OR.  Making good on her promise of creating spaces for real moments and real conversations with her fans, this acoustic trio tour will bring Cam and her fans together in intimate, iconic venues for rare, once-in-a-lifetime evenings of storytelling and music.  With 10 buzzed about stops including Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, Brooklyn, the few tickets remain for these special nights are on-sale now at CamCountry.com.

California-born singer/songwriter Cam emerged as one of the true breakthrough artists of the past few years. Her international hit, "Burning House" garnered Cam her first Platinum record, #1 country single and earned her a GRAMMY® Award nomination for Best Country Solo Performance, six nods at the Academy of Country Music Awards, three at the CMT Music Awards, two CMA Awards nominations and one at the 2016 American Music Awards. "Burning House" is still the most-downloaded song by a female country artist since its release in 2015 and is off Cam's debut album Untamed, which debuted at #2 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart with the year's best first-week album sales by a debut country artist. Produced by GRAMMY-winning Producer of the Year Jeff Bhasker (Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars) and multiple-GRAMMY nominee Tyler Johnson (Harry Styles, Sam Smith, Ed Sheeran), Untamed was met with widespread critical acclaim from The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, PEOPLE, Associated Press, and many others. Since her debut, Cam has appeared on national TV programs including Good Morning America, Today, CBS This Morning, The Voice, The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Talk, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, LIVE with Kelly, The Grammys, CMA Awards, ACM Awards, and The 10th ACM Honors CBS special with Alicia Keys. In addition to sharing the stage with music superstars like Harry Styles, George Strait and Tim McGraw & Faith Hill, 2017 also highlighted Cam's prolific songwriting. Cam co-wrote the song "Palace" off Sam Smith's latest release, The Thrill Of It All. The track, which includes Cam contributing background vocals and electric guitar, was featured in the recent Holiday commercial for Apple. Now in 2018, Cam returns with a bold new single, "Diane," the lead song off her forthcoming Arista Nashville/RCA Records sophomore album. Joining forces again with her "Burning House" co-writers, "Diane" is a driving, tempo-rich track that delivers a sonically refreshing tale of love, regret, and commiseration. Less than a month after its release, the song was praised as one of the Best Songs (all-genre) of 2017 by NPR and #3 on the 25 Best Country Songs of 2017 by Rolling Stone Country and made a multi-week residency on Spotify's Viral 50 USA Chart.

THE CALIFORNIA HONEYDROPS’
CALL IT HOME: VOL. 1 & 2 OUT NOW

NEW DOUBLE ALBUM DEBUTS AT BILLBOARD

TOUR DATES INCLUDE LOS ANGELES, SAN FRANCISCO, NEW YORK, CHICAGO, NEW ORLEANS AND MORE
 

Photo credit: Keith Berson

  “It’s rare to find a band as much in love with music and each other as The California Honeydrops. Their deep understanding and mastery of classic R&B, New Orleans Jazz and more has allowed them to create music that is as fresh as it is funky, and uniquely their own. Lech has one of the most soulful, elastic voices I’ve ever heard...and he shreds on trumpet and guitar as well. They are truly one of my favorite bands!”—Bonnie Raitt

[Of “Call It Home”] “…evoking the greasy rumble of Booker T and the MGs in the opening bars before channeling the spiritual ecstasy of Sly and the Family Stone in the soaring choruses.”

“[‘Call It Home’ is] a smooth, sensuous song, with a guitar part evoking a hot summer day, an organ that sends you to the front pew and a brass section that feels like something straight out of The Blues Brothers.”

[Of “Live Learn”] “A playful tune that’s impossible not to dance along to…opens with a plunking bass before lead singer Lech Wierzynski joins in on a call-and-response banter with the bass, even as a bright guitar riff adds some tasty seasoning to the bubbling stew.”

The California Honeydrops’ seventh album (and first double album), Call It Home: Vol. 1 & 2, is out now via Tubtone Records. The record debuts at Billboard, who proclaims that it, “represents a new level of ambition…” Album purchase available here. 

In celebration of the release The Honeydrops will tour extensively, with stops in L.A., San Francisco, Chicago, D.C., New York, Australia and many more. See below for current dates, with more to be announced.

Recorded over the past year and a half, the new album takes its inspiration from the many facets and ever-changing nature of the idea of home—a subject frontman and co-founder Lech Wierzynski thinks a lot about. “Home’s been on my mind since I was a kid,” he says. “I was born in Warsaw, Poland. My parents brought me here as a kid and we moved around a lot. They were always talking about missing where they were from and I was always wondering who I was in that way, whether I was Polish or Amercan or both. I didn’t set out to make an album about that, but these songs just started coming out that way…” Drummer and co-founder Ben Malament mentions that it also grapples with the many changes their longtime home of Oakland, California has undergone in the past decade. “We’ve always been a Bay Area band and the Bay Area has been such a hotbed of change the last 10 years. It’s been interesting for us to see and live in, and it’s affected the way the band works.”

With a “tub full of songs” written by Wierzynski, the band—made up of Wierzynski (lead vocal, trumpet, guitar), Malament (drums, washboard, percussion), Johnny Bones (tenor saxophone, clarinet), Lorenzo Loera (keys, melodica) and Beau Bradbury (bass, percussion)—took to the studio on breaks from touring, collaborating on a multitude of tracks blending a diverse array of styles, in true Honeydrops fashion. On the decision to compile and release them all as a double album, Wierzynski says, “This was a breakthrough year for the band. I wanted something that captured the totality, instead of doing something small. That’s why you’ve got the whole cosmos on the album cover. This is my life. This band has never been for sale. This band has been everything for us. It’s something that we do for the love. I’m proud of that.”

The California Honeydrops got their start busking on the streets of the San Francisco Bay Area, where they quickly developed a passionate local following that has continued to grow over the course of nonstop American, European and Australian touring. In addition to Raitt’s Dig In Deep tour, the band has also supported such icons as B.B. King, Allen Toussaint, Buddy Guy and Dr. John. They have sold out headline shows at venues across the country and performed at major festivals including Outside Lands, Bluesfest Byron Bay, Monterey Jazz, High Sierra and many more. Their previous record, A River’s Invitation, was released in 2015 with KQED hailing it as “a winning new album,” and The Bluegrass Situation furthering, “The groove is Muscle Shoals deep, singer Lech Wierzynski’s voice is Sam Cooke wide, and saxophonist Johnny Bones bangs heavy on the door of Ben Webster.”

ABOUT KID ROCK: Kid Rock burst onto the music scene in 1998 with his Devil Without a Cause album and hasn't looked back. From hit singles like “Bawitdaba” and “Cowboy” to “Picture” and “All Summer Long,” the recording artist has blazed his own trail in the music world, having sold over 26 million albums to date. Kid Rock holds the Michigan record for most tickets sold with 150,000 for a run of ten consecutive sold-out shows, and recently set the Little Caesars Arena attendance record in his hometown of Detroit with 86,893 attendees in six sold-out shows. Kid Rock remains at the center of media attention in regards to his musical and personal ambitions, leaving his mark in a multitude of genres.
 
ABOUT BRANTLEY GILBERT: Back-to-back platinum songwriter Brantley Gilbert brings a heavy load to his kind of country. With 6 #1s – “One Hell Of An Amen,” “Country Must Be Country Wide,” “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do,” “Bottoms Up,” “My Kind of Party” and CMA Song of the Year nominee “Dirt Road Anthem” – and the American Music Award for Favorite Country Album for Just As I Am, the Georgia born vocalist hits hard, delivering country that rocks, but also captures the dignity and impact of life lived beyond the city. The Devil Don’t Sleep, his latest, continues blending lifeaffirming ballads with unrelenting throwdowns, reflect RollingStone.com’s take, calling him, “a brooding, hip-hop influenced rocker with a healthy dose of Gilbert's trademark Southern flourishes, (he) plays the defiant outlaw role.”

His second album, Ol Wheeler, debuted Top 5 on the Billboard Country Charts. Wheeler has been named checked by everyone from Snoop Dogg to Chris Stapleton.

TYLER RICH IS “THE DIFFERENCE” ON COUNTRY RADIO

See Why New Single is No. 1 Most-Added


Cover Art Courtesy of The Valory Music Co.
 

NASHVILLE, TN (April 2, 2018) – Tyler Rich is making a big statement on Country radio and to listeners nationwide today. Proving he is “The Difference,” Tyler’s new single is No. 1 most-added to station playlists, offering an official introduction to the Northern California heartthrob. Before splitting time between the West Coast and Nashville upon landing at The Valory Music Co. last year, the compelling singer/songwriter had already cultivated a large social following eager for new music. Embrace “The Difference” here - http://smarturl.it/The_Difference.

 

The message immediately struck a chord with Tyler the first time he heard the Rhett Akins, Ben Burgess, Devin Dawson and Jacob Durrett collaboration. “’The Difference’ perfectly describes the relationship with my fiancée. In fact, I’m kind of bummed I didn’t write this one but I’m grateful these guys let me have it,” he joked. “We travel a lot for our jobs and often aren’t in the same cities. I used to text her ‘love ya’ and she would say “you mean I love you?” I never knew the difference before her and now it is so obvious looking back.”

The official music video for “The Difference” was recently released to Vevo + syndicators and features Tyler alongside fiancée Sabina. The picture-perfect couple strolled through Nashville with their dogs Charlee and Abby while reliving the beginning stages of a new relationship. Their on-screen courtship intensifies as they develop into more than a casual fling. You can see Tyler genuinely feels the lyrics when he sings: “There’s a difference between ‘miss ya’ and ‘I miss your face’ / There’s a difference in ‘what’s goin’ on’ and ‘baby, how was your day’ / Yeah, there’s a hell of a difference in sayin’ three words / Or kinda just meanin’ two / There’s a difference in ‘love ya’ and ‘I love you’ / And I wanna be the difference.” Watch it here - https://TylerRich.lnk.to/TheDifferenceVideo.
 
“The Difference” has already crossed over 1 million streams and critics are singing its praises with The Boot exclaiming "With its catchy beat and heartfelt lyrics, it's easy to envision a wedding dance with 'The Difference' playing in the background." Tyler also caught the attention of SiriusXM as a coveted Highway Find and CMT named him a Listen Up 2018 artist.

As he continues traveling to meet new fans and friends at radio, Tyler will make several appearances during ACM Awards weekend in Las Vegas (April 12-15) and stop in Nashville to open for Justin Moore at Ryman Auditorium on May 2.

Kenny Chesney Gets Ready to “Get Along”

New Single Seeks Coming Together, 

Arrives at Radio Friday, April 6

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Leave it to Kenny Chesney to tap into both the moment and the feel good. When the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar was working on what will be his most personal album to date, he found himself in a zone of looking at life, the world and the state of where we are now. From that soul-searching, the man the Los Angeles Times called “The People’s Superstar” found “Get Along.”

With a deep pocket, a chorus that sweeps you up, banjo etching and Chesney’s signature acoustic guitar strum, the brisk mid-tempo offers an invitation to come together, find higher ground, exhale and seek a way of living that fosters harmony. In unlikely ways, the melody bubbles up, as the chorus offers a dose of self-acceptance and reality, “Get along on down the road/ We’ve got a long, long way to go/ Scared to live, scared to die/ We ain’t perfect, but we try…”

“Some days, it’s like the world is just angry, screaming people,” Chesney reflects, “all harping on what’s wrong, how other people are awful. The more I move around, talking to people, though, the more I know people are seeking the same things, working hard to get by and hoping for the best for their family and friends. It’s simple, but we keep getting driven apart – and made unhappy. When I heard this song, beyond how good the rhythm felt, I was amazed how simply they broke all this stuff down. Get along… find the common ground… know the basic stuff is where the joy, the love, the happiness is.”

Written by Shane McAnally, Ross Copperman and Josh Osborne, “Get Along” takes the exuberance of “American Kids,” the positivity of “Save It For A Rainy Day” and “Spread the Love” and the roots-driven musicality of “Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven” to a new place. Just as importantly, it continues expanding the 8-time Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year’s take on American music.

“To me, music is what you make it, and I want music that sounds good, but also gives you permission to really live,” Chesney explains. “I think we can get so caught up in expectations, our own and other people’s, and we forget what matters.”

Beyond the obvious notion to “always give love the upper hand,” the chorus breaks it down to some very specific real-life items: “paint a wall, learn to dance, call your mom, buy a boat, drink a beer, sing a song, make a friend,” before asking, “can’t we all just… get along.”

Equally intriguing, the song can be as much an encouragement to move on instead of clinging to grudges, as it is an invitation to find common ground with others. At a time when divisiveness is commonplace, Chesney is about elevating the No Shoes Nation – a place truly without borders – to finding the best in each other, loving life and making memories to treasure.

Without missing a beat, Chesney invokes the bridge, “You know, the song says, ‘You find out when you die, the keys to heaven can’t be bought/We still don’t know what love is, but we sure know what it’s not…’ That’s real. We’re here such a short time, this song reminds us all how to get together, get along and enjoy the ride.”

About Stone Temple PilotsWith over 70 million albums sold, Stone Temple Pilots roared on to the scene in 1992 with their raucous debut, Core. A breakout success, the album peaked #3 on the Billboard 200 chart, and dominated radio waves with hits like "Sex Type Thing," "Wicked Garden," and the Grammy-Award winning smash single, "Plush." STP quickly distinguished themselves as a band beholden to no trend. Boasting the inimitable riffs of guitarist Dean DeLeo, the propulsive rhythm section of bassist Robert DeLeo and drummer Eric Kretz, and the charismatic baritone of frontman Scott Weiland, STP ruled airways, video playlists and charts alike over their legendary career. The band has just released their seventh studio album, Stone Temple Pilots (2018), their first with new lead singer, Jeff Gutt. The debut single "Meadow" from the self-titled album, channels the gritty guitars and swaggering rhythms that STP is known for, and reached top 5 at rock radio. All Music Guide states, "They haven't lost their knack for hook-heavy hard rock that wedges its way into the subconscious."
About BushBUSH is touring in support of latest release of BLACK AND WHITE RAINBOWS and single "This Is War." People magazine hailed the new album, which was written, recorded and produced by vocalist Gavin Rossdale, as "a triumphant return." AllMusic said it showed a "reinvigorated spirit" and ABC News gave the album four stars, calling it a "remarkably cohesive set."  Over the course of the past year, BUSH (rounded out by drummer Robin Goodridge, guitarist Chris Traynor and bassist Corey Britz) has played to packed-house crowds across North America, performed on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and released the music from BLACK AND WHITE RAINBOWS in stages, including teaming with  The Huffington Post for the premiere of "The Beat Of Your Heart" and Billboard for the debut of "Dystopia." BUSH has sold over 20 million records in the U.S. and Canada alone. They've also compiled an amazing string of 18 consecutive Top 40 hit singles on the Modern Rock and Mainstream Rock charts. Eleven of those hit the Top 5, six of which shot to No. 1: "Comedown," "Glycerine," "Machinehead," "Swallowed," "The Chemicals Between Us" and "The Sound of Winter."
About The CultTHE CULT has reveled in a controversial and storied career. Emerging from the darkly romantic UK post-punk scene with the album DREAMTIME followed by the anthematic idealism of LOVE, the Rick Rubin produced NYC street hustle of ELECTRIC to the textural amplifier worship of SONIC TEMPLE & CEREMONY deconstructing full circle for THE CULT. After a brief hiatus, the band returned performing at the Tibetan Freedom concert then embedded themselves in the studio to record and release BEYOND GOOD & EVIL in 2001 just prior to 9/11.
BORN INTO THIS (named after a Charles Bukowski poem) their 6th release was heralded by MOJO Magazine as "a wholehearted, utopian, and irrefutably exciting record." CHOICE OF WEAPON The Cult's third full-length album of the new millennium made its IMPACT against the ever-growing TIDE of disposable new media launching a triumphant global tour culminating in an intense uplifting performance at Coachella 2014 acknowledged as "THE MESSIANIC MOMENT OF COACHELLA" by Rolling Stone magazine … In 2016 the band released its 10th studio album HIDDEN CITY an elegantly brutal masterpiece inspired by a visceral exploration of self and soul launching THE CULT into another triumphant world tour burning up stages with Public Enemy, Primal Scream, Foo Fighters, Guns and Roses and many others.

"The nice thing about having 25 years of music to celebrate and seven studio albums we absolutely love to choose from is that we can play a different show every night,” said Crows vocalist Adam Duritz. “The nice thing about touring with +LIVE+ is that we get to spend yet another summer with old friends who play great music. We can't wait!”

+LIVE+ vocalist & guitarist Ed Kowalczyk echoed those sentiments: "+LIVE+ is beyond excited to get out on the road this summer and play for our fans. We are freshly reunited and performing with a confidence and ferocity that we can't wait for people to experience.  The fact that we will be sharing the stage once again with the incomparable Counting Crows is icing on the cake!"

In addition to celebrating 25 years of music in 2018, Duritz has also launched a new podcast, Underwater Sunshine! – a series of conversations between noted non-journalist Duritz and his pal, author and music journalist James Campion, about life, music, and whatever comes into their large and incredibly handsome brains. The weekly podcast, published every Monday, currently holds a five-star rating. View it on iTunes HERE.

Counting Crows – Adam Duritz (vocals), Jim Bogios (drums), David Bryson (guitar), Charlie Gillingham (keyboards), David Immergluck (guitar), Millard Powers (bass) and Dan Vickrey (guitar) – have sold more than 20 million albums worldwide after exploding onto the music scene with their multiplatinum breakout album August and Everything After in 1993. Known for creating unique and innovative concert experiences year after year, Counting Crows is recognized as one of the world’s most pre-eminent touring live rock bands. The band released their seventh studio album Somewhere Under Wonderland in September 2014, which earned critical acclaim as one of the “band’s best,” scored a top 10 debut and was recognized as one of the group’s “stronger works (USA Today),” claiming a spot on Rolling Stone’s Top 50 Songs of the 2014 list with the track “Dislocation”.
