Chris Stapleton
“Devil
Named Music” - ”Modern outlaw in the vein of Waylon Jennings .. a lovely earthy album,
really tuneful, great tracks on there” - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Record Label:
Universal Nashville
Current
Location: Nashville, TN
Kentucky-born
singer, songwriter and producer Chris
Stapleton is one of Nashville’s most revered craftsmen, with a 15-year
career that includes No. 1 hits, Grammy Award nominations, feature film
contributions, the respect of his peers and, now, a new album.
In January 2015 at Nashville’s historic RCA Studio A Stapleton treated an intimate group of country music journalists and execs to a listening party for his forthcoming solo debut album, TRAVELLER. With the whiskey flowing and hot-chicken sliders making the rounds, Chris spoke briefly before unleashing Traveller’s whiskey-soaked soulfullness. Chris is the former frontman of the Grammy-nominated SteelDrivers, as well as the songwriter behind 5 No.1 hits, “Drink A Beer” (Luke Bryan; co-written with Jim Beavers), “Never Wanted Nothing More” (Kenny Chesney), “Love’s Gonna Make It Alright” (George Strait), “Come Back Song” (Darius Rucker) and “Your Man” (Josh Turner).
As one of Nashville's most revered craftsmen, his 15 year career also includes 3 Grammy Award nominations, feature film contributions and songwriting credits that span all genres and artists from Adele to Jason Aldean and he’s recorded with everyone from Miranda Lambert to Don Williams..
He
doesn't need to look, doesn't want to write, and doesn't have the ability to
sound mainstream because he is the unique voice we need exactly when we need
it.
Capitol's
Little Big Town added a spring leg
to The Pain Killer Tour which kicked off March 5th in Savannah, GA. and Mercury's
Stapleton opened the 12-city tour.
Stapleton released his highly anticipated debut TRAVELLER on May
5. The Mercury Records Nashville release is the rare mainstream country album
eagerly awaited by fans on both sides of the dial. The first single and title cut from
"Traveller," is a journeyman's song with a blend of Country, Southern
Rock, Americana, and Blues.

Jellyman’s Daughter
“Anna” – Very nicely put together album, very professional, love her voice” - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Genre: Alt.
Acoustic
Band Members:
Emily Kelly (Vocals, Guitar) and Graham Coe (Vocals, Cello, Guitar)
Home Town: Edinburgh
Influences: The
Civil Wars, Crooked Still, Punch Brothers, Old Crow Medicine Show, Sarah
Jarosz, The Steeldrivers, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Beatles, Turin Brakes,
Nickel Creek, Lake Street Dive
"The
Jellyman's Daughter sound like they've come down from the same cold mountain as
The Civil Wars or Grammy-winning duo Robert Plant and Alison Krauss... [Graham]
can make his instrument as percussive as a drum, as grounded as a bass or as
sweet as a fiddle... when Kelly and Coe sing together, their harmonies squeeze
the heart." - The Herald Scotland
Their single
'Honey' received 4 stars in its review in The List with Roddy Hart giving it a
spin on his BBC Radio Scotland show. They have took part in various live radio
appearances including The Culture Show with Janice Forsyth on BBC Radio
Scotland.
In September 2014
The Jellyman's Daughter released their debut album, celebrated with a sold-out
Edinburgh launch gig, as well as a host of dates across the UK, from Aberdeen
to London. The album sees the duo collaborate with some very talented friends
to create a full-band sound for some songs on the album. While the sum of its
parts echoes a traditional bluegrass set up – double bass, banjo, mandolin and
fiddle – the result on the album is more diverse, each song incorporating a
different flavour ranging from gypsy jazz to almost classical string playing,
as well as some unmistakable bluegrass banjo picking.
"An
excellent collection of songs… Expect great things." The Scotsman
The Jellyman's
Daughter's debut album on CD comes in a lovely 3-fold Digipak, complete with
full-colour lyric booklet.
All songs
written and arranged by The Jellyman's Daughter, with the exception of 'Can't
Buy Me Love' written by Lennon/McCartney, and 'Darling Corey', which is a
traditional tune. It was mixed by Garry Boyle at The Depot, Edinburgh
And mastered by
Andrew Mitchell at Audio Bay

Granger Smith
“Backroads
Song” – “One to get up and dance to” - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Most of the time
I'm Granger & sometimes I'm @EarlDibblesJr.
On the heels of
a week’s worth of sold-out EP release shows, country music star Granger Smith’s
debut EP, 4×4, is now out. The
four-song project is co-produced by Granger and Frank Rogers, who is a
three-time winner of Music Row’s Producer of the Year award and is known for
his multi-platinum work with Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker and Scotty McCreery.
The EP has already established its magnitude within the country music community,
catapulting to #2 of the iTunes Country Album Chart and #6 and climbing on
iTunes’ All Genres. The EP’s lead single "Backroad Song" entered the
iTunes Country singles chart at #2 with over 32K downloads it’s first week.
Granger’s
‘country-boy’ alter ego Earl Dibbles Jr. has also unveiled his anticipated
music video for his part on 4×4, >> "City Boy Stuck." Directed by Brian Lazzaro, the video features
Dibbles in his familiar boisterous antics, which have helped garner him a rabid
following of 3.5 million and his own weekly segment on CBS Sports Network’s
Inside College Football.
Blurb: Over the course of nine albums, at a time when the music industry is undergoing a top-to-bottom transformation, Granger Smith has been building a career that is truly groundbreaking. With sold-out national tours, a social media following of more than three million, and YouTube views nearing 30 million, he has amassed an audience that is unheard-of for a purely independent, unsigned act. He has continually searched for new and innovative ways to connect with his fans and —one by one, room by room — built a national following, culminating when his last album, Dirt Road Driveway, debuted at Number One on the iTunes country chart. Now, with the release of the 4X4 EP, Smith is taking the next step in a voyage that is both visionary and classically old-school.....See more at: grangersmith.com

Ward Davis is an American Singer/Songwriter from
Nashville, Tennessee. Born in Monticello, Arkansas, Ward moved to Nashville in

Haggard, Wade Hayes, Sammy Kershaw, Bucky Covington, Jimmie Van Zant, Buddy

Nashville in early 2014.
Ward released an EP titled "No Bridges" and
worked on a new album with Grammy winning producer, Jim "Moose" Brown.
“15
Years in a 10 Year Town” is a gritty compilation of Americana music that
tells a story of redemption. The album takes a step away from the Nashville
“Bro Country” culture and gets back to the traditional American music roots.
The captivating acoustic experience embraces the mistakes of the past,
questions the soul, and finds salvation in love.
Ward Davis’
first Full Length Album, “15 Years in a 10-Year Town,” features 9 brand new
original recordings, including 8 self-penned songs and the Ed Bruce classic,
“Old Wore Out Cowboys,” a collaboration with Willie Nelson and Jamey Johnson.
The album is set
to be released May 19, 2015
