Scott Brantley
“Good Thing
Going” – “A very strong song” - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Scott is a
country music singer/songwriter based in Georgia. Signed a publishing
deal with Studio Gold Nashville.
2012 Texaco
Country Showdown State Winner
"Ain't No
Life I'd Rather Live...Than This Country Life I Live"- Lyrics that
perfectly describe this pure country boy from middle Georgia. Scott Brantley
comes from a musically gifted family that is deeply rooted in its music,
relationships and resolve. The gift of such talent handed down to him simply
couldn't be ignored, and he has fully embraced the charge of delivering this
gift to the masses. With inspirations like George Strait, Keith Whitley, Merle
Haggard & Alan Jackson, Scott has a devout focus on taking his music career
head-on.
Scott is also
the accomplished songwriter, and has collaborated with some of Nashville's
best: Jimmy Yeary, Carson Chamberlain, Mike Dekle, Bernie Nelson, & Wade
Kirby....to name a few. And he's no stranger to the big stage, as he's
headlined some of the major venues in the southeast...and has shared the show
with some of country's best, such as Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Craig Morgan,
Jamey Johnson, Darryl Worley, Jerrod Niemann, Tracy Lawrence...and many others.
His vocals are
sweet; his writing style as simplistic as “Love Without End, Amen”, his musical
stories as chilling in faint semblance as Keith Whitley’s “Don’t Close Your
Eyes.” A sound that is blind to generational appeal and significant in music
contribution, Scott is “GOOD” for the soul (young and old) and just in time to
bring “Country-Country” back where it belongs.
His debut
single “Good Thing Going” was
released to radio October 21, 2015 (Impact Date: Nov 16). It was written by
Brantley himself along with his brother David Brantley and good friend Trent
Jeffcoat.
Good Thing
Going sums up the old dating advice that opposites sometimes do attract. The
verses are complete with catchy comparisons, like the opening line, "She’s all yogurt and granola, I’m scrambled
eggs and cheese." These witty verses lead up to the simple, yet get-stuck-in-your-head
choruses focusing on what a good thing going they have. Scott hopes listeners
will love the beat and feel of this song.

Brantley and the Big Cooler Crew performing >> 'Good
Thing Going' on stage at the Georgia Mountain Fair in
Hiawassee, GA. Saturday, July 19, 2014.

Amaya Rose
Hometown: Paso
Robles, CA
Short
Description: Amaya Rose is a 16 year old country singer/songwriter who can also
pick a couple tunes on the guitar, and is an award winning fiddle and banjo
player.
"Violins
sing, but fiddles dance"
Genre: Country / Classic Country
Biography
Born Amaya Rose Dempsey April 1st, 1999, in
Templeton CA.
This young
musician has been said to have an old soul.
Combining her
love of the classic legends like Merle
Haggard, Marty Robbins, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, her award winning
fiddle playing, and new pop twists, Amaya creates a modern, yet timeless sound.
From the age of
3 Amaya was always awed by the violin, and at age 7 her parents began taking
her to a classic violin instructor for Suzuki Method lessons once week.
Around 12, she
began joining SLO county legend, Monte Mills and the Lucky Horseshoe Band as
one of the lead singers and fiddle player.
From there her
violin playing (which slowly turned to fiddling) has taken her as far as
earning 2nd place in the CA Fiddle State Championships, 2nd at the Western Open
Fiddle Championships, an opening act for Merle
Haggard (Read article 15-year-old local fiddler opens for Merle Haggard),
and guest appearances with Lyle Lovett,
and Riders In the Sky.
Just recently
(June 2015) Amaya was most generously gifted the opportunity to record a 10
song CD at Kim Copeland Productions (1216
17th Ave S (Studio 1204 17th Ave S), Nashville, Tennessee 37212) by
award-winning songwriter Max McGee.
During her stay
in Nashville, she also had the amazing opportunity of joining Vince Gill and
The Time Jumpers on stage for a spontaneus guest appearance.
A single titled
“Different Shade of Blue” was self-released on iTunes July 5, 2015
A 10 song CD
(Probably titled TIMING) is slated to be on its way. Amaya shared “Thanks so much to family, friends, and fans,
who greatly supported this endeavour”

Jess and the Bandits
“You
Can’t Stop Me” - “I think they are a great
band, they’ve got a very contemporary sound..another fine UK act, they write
their songs with original material and what is needed really to conquer the UK
market” - Marie Crichton BBC Radio
Shropshire
Members: Jessica Clemmons, Ricci
Riccardi, Louis Riccardi, Dave Troke, Steven Reid Williams
Genre: Pop/Country
Though somewhat atypical for a group rooted in country to find success
in the UK, it is par for the course when it comes to the unlikely group Jess
and the Bandits. The Bandits met Texan favourite Jessica Clemmons, the opening
act, during a 2012 tour while playing with The Overtones and instantly bonded
over their mutual love of Country Music. As they began to play together more
and more, it became painstakingly clear that their chemistry was flawless.
Jess and the Bandits
Thus, Jess and the Bandits were born.
Made up of brothers Ricci and
Louis Riccardi on drums and guitar respectively, Dave Troke on bass, Steven
Reid Williams on keyboards/guitar and of course lovely Jessica Clemmons on vocals, each member of the Bandits brings with
them a storied history of country creativity. Far from home, Jessica Clemmons
hails from Houston, Texas, however UK audiences have fallen for her soulful and
passionate work so much that she’s become something of an honorary Brit. The
country singer got her foot firmly in the door whilst wowing arena audiences on
Boyzone’s Bz20 tour, and on other outings from the Overtones to the Stylistics.
Jess graced the BBC Radio 2
playlist last year with ‘Single Tonight’ and sent social media into a spin
when she performed her show-stopping female take on ‘Wichita Lineman’ on Terry
Wogan’s Sunday morning show.
Front woman Jessica Clemmons,
the singer-songwriter from Houston, Texas with the big voice and the warm
personality, bonded with the four Brits who make up the Bandits over their
mutual love of the music. Now they’re turning that shared affection into some
of the most accessible country-pop-rock of the year.
Now, at the helm of the five-piece band, Jessica’s ready to take things
up another gear. To lift a phrase from Jess and the Bandits’ feel-good single
‘My Name Is Trouble,’ this country girl can rock your world, but she can take
it slow, too. “We got a little of that country-rock feel, and then we’ve got
those really pretty country ballad sort of songs,” says Jessica. “I spent ten
days in Nashville hoping to write enough songs, and left with more than I could
put on the record. I’m really excited about it.”
Jessica graced the BBC Radio 2
playlist early in 2014 with ‘Single
Tonight’, had further airplay with ‘Love
Like That,’ and sent social media into a spin when she performed her show
stopping female take on ‘Wichita Lineman’
on Terry Wogan’s Sunday morning show. All of those tracks are on the new album
with the Bandits.
With the band, she wowed arena audiences on Boyzone’s BZ20 tour, just as
she had on earlier outings with the Overtones and the Stylistics.
2015 keeps getting
bigger and better for 1/5 Texan and 4/5 British country band Jess and the
Bandits. Having sold out their three headline performances of the year and
debuted at #6 on the official country charts with album Here We Go Again (listen here), the
group blew SirTerry Wogan away with their reworking ofMama Told Me Not To Comeand
also stole of the heart of Bob Harris
(OBE), for whom they have already recorded two Under The Apple Tree sessions in
2015.
Having won rave reviews for their festival appearances, from C2C Country to Country to Ramblin' Man
and the performing as special guests to close SummerTyne, the band were excited
about the release of their self-confidence anthem Nitty Gritty, which is being released in association with high
street plus size retailer Evans' #StyleHasNoSize campaign. At the launch of the
#StyleMantra competition held to find 10 women to appear alongside the band in
the music video, Evans Brand Director Fiona Ross stated,'We’re thrilled to be working on this exciting
project with Jess and the Bandits. Jessica embodies everything we’re
passionate about at Evans. The new, empowering single Nitty Gritty
reinforces our belief that #STYLEHASNOSIZE and we’re so happy to have her
as an ambassador.'Shop the looks here.
Teaming up with videographer Ron Yeadon
for the playful music video, which has just premiered exclusively on The
Telegraph, vocalist Jessica Clemmons had one goal,'I wanted women to watch this video and feel represented for
once. The competition winners were amazing. They were different
races, sizes, ages, and all from different backgrounds. They showed
incredible confidence in who they are, looked amazing, and have made this
video truly something special. I hope that when people watch it they
feel empowered and learn to love who they are, despite their, so
called, flaws.'

and the Bandits perform 'Nitty Gritty' taken from their album 'Here We Go
Again'
In
July they headed up to Gateshead for two performances at The Sage's SummerTyne Festival. After a rapturous
response to their Saturday set, the quintet had the honour of closing the event
last night.
To
celebrate their successful start to 2015, Bob Harris followed up his sessions
from earlier this year with a further recording at Cornbury Festival. As a nod to the legendary Sir Tom Jones, who was
headlining he festival, the band reworked his own reworking of the Three Dog
Night classic, 'Mama Told Me Not To Come'.
Currently
gearing up for their debut UK headline tour this October, which follow on from
their sold out London shows earlier this year, Jess and the Bandits promise
that this year is just going to get bigger and better.

Added Artist at country radio” when it earned 50 adds across both Country
Aircheck / Mediabase and Billboard.
“Trippin’
On Us” was lauded as a Taste of Country “Critics Pick” and Lindsey herself
was celebrated as one of the site’s “Artists To Watch in 2014” praising her as
an artist that “protrudes confidence without the attitude” and as a “star in
the making.”
Lindsay Ell opened for The Band Perry on their “We Are Pioneers” World Tour
Autumn tour across Europe (London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin - Video Blog) Lindsay resumed on The Band
Perry’s tour beginning January 9th, 2014 in Penticton, British Columbia.
Ell is readying her debut album for
Stoney Creek. She released two sets independently: Alone (2009) and Consider
This (2006).
On her website she wrote: I've seen all kinds of crowds ... and no
crowd at all. I feel ready as a singer and a musician. I have confidence as a
performer. I've been writing for years and, since moving to Nashville, have
found how best to communicate who I am. I'm comfortable in a conference room
with six people or onstage opening for Keith Urban in front of thousands. It's
really not that different. Both are exciting and a little humbling. Either way,
I'm ready to go."
She received nominations for Rising Star
Award at both the The 2014 & 2015 Canadian
Country Music Association (CCMA) Awards.
The
26-year old Alberta Canada "Shut Me Up" singer-songwriter rocked a
glittery number by Alice + Olivia when she attended the 2015 CMT Music Awards (Weds June 10, 2015) at the Bridgestone Arena
in Nashville, Tennessee.

Women Of Country" artist Lindsay partnered to present, "Busking On Broadway," on Thursday,
October 1, 2015 to promote her single, "By The Way." the free 24-hour concert took place in downtown Nashville
outside of The Opry originals store on Broadway.She performed both original songs and covers, with visits from
surprise artist guests and live videos posted to PERISCOPE.
The new single "By The Way" (Stoney
Creek Records) released to radio Sept 28, 2015 (Impact date Oct 19) is getting lots
of US Radio Attention. The gutsy, guitar goddess is back. Lindsay is bringing
her modern Country take on the dating luck and life of a single girl in the
world today. This is easily the best "getting
ready to hit the town with your girlfriends" party anthem of the year.
Ladies of every age will be blasting this one while they put their eyeliner on
a little thicker and their lipstick a little brighter in preparation for
showing "him" what she's
made of. Who is this mystical "him," you ask? It just doesn't matter.
It's every guy who has done us wrong, and all the ones who will do us wrong in
the future.

“Where I'm
Coming” – “Randy
Travis is a huge fan and when I play this single I’m sure he’ll get a few more
fans….What a treasure, I think that’s absolutely fantastic, really wonderful - Marie
Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Shane Owens musical journey began in Samson, AL, at
the tender age of five. That year his parents gave him a set of drums. By the
time he was six, he was singing in the church choir. The youngest member of the
choir garnered attention with his powerful voice, especially when he sang his
favorites hymns, like “I’ll Fly Away”.
Owens
was still quite young when his father, who was also a singer, and his mother
separated. After the separation, Owens and his twin sister, lived with their
mother who filled their home with the sounds of Nashville. Saturday nights
around the Owens’ home centered on the broadcasts of the Grand Ole Opry. Country was a way of life and country music was central to it all. Artists such
as Don Williams, Keith Whitley and Ricky Skaggs could often be heard in their
house, but it was George Jones, Randy Travis, Don Williams and George Strait
who would later become most influential in Owens’ style.
In
2005 Owens was signed to a recording contract with Rust Records, where he
released his first CD LET’S GET ON IT.
The singer also claimed songwriting credit by writing 7 of the 13 songs
himself.
Owens
gained national exposure as an artist when his song, Bottom of the Fifth, found its way onto the country Charts.
Riding
the success from his single, Owens set out touring the United States and
Canada. As Owens prepared to release his second CD, Rust Records closed its
doors, releasing all of their artists from their recording contracts.
From
then until now, Owens has never stopped performing, often packing venues to
full capacity. In March of 2014, Owens was finally able to release his second
album, Homemade Mexico, to a crowd consisting of nearly 1000 of his closest
friends, family and fans.
"Shane Owens brings it all: vocals, writing,
performance, and passion. He has paid his dues, remained committed to
traditional country and brings you a song with heart and a story. Songs that
will get you through the tough times and enjoy the happy times, and lyrics that
will remind you of the threads in life that make you the fabric you are today.
He will bless you with his talent and his kindness. To Shane, I gladly pass the
baton…" – Randy Travis
"Where I’m Comin’ From," produced
by James Stroud (Chris Young, Clint Black) is the lead single from Shane Owens’
upcoming full-length album, set for release in early 2016. Award-winning Ed
Seay (Martine McBride, Collin Raye) also produced songs for the new project.
From
Samson, Ala., Shane Owens has established an impressive following across the
Southeast and opened shows for Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Hank Williams, Jr.
and many others. His natural, traditional country style has repeatedly
attracted Nashville label attention and led to two different record deals.
Unfortunately, unexpected label closures left much of Owens’ music unreleased,
testing his resolve and will to continue.
But
through it all, Owens offers an upbeat perspective on his career.
"I’ve been blessed to be brought up the way I
was brought up. And I’ve learned the hard way that you’ve got to be yourself.
That’s what’s gonna sell: me being me. Maybe this whole thing is meant to be,
and I’ve been through all of this for a reason, and the third time’s the charm."
His
single “Where I’m Comin’ From”
(AmeriMonte Records) was sent to radio October 9, 2015

“Alibi” - “What a
great voice she’s got, I LOVE it, almost like a Heidi Newfield rasp
to it, lovely voice, the more you listen to the song the catchier it becomes” - Marie Crichton BBC Radio Shropshire
Country/Pop/Rock
Chelsea, Southern Indiana natives Dave and
Whitney grew up 23 miles from each other in Southern Indiana yet it took
them 23 years to meet in Florida. Only 4 months later and they were
engaged! Engaged and planning the
wedding, they took off on their first tour which took them to 32 states in 40
days.
They now call Nashville, Tennessee home and they said moving there
"has made all the difference" for their career. They have shared the
stage with some of country’s well known acts such as Randy Houser, Florida
Georgia Line, David Nail, Parmalee, Sara Evans, Jana Kramer, Casey James,
Dustin Lynch, Love and Theft, Frankie Ballard and one of their favorite bands,
The Eli Young Band!
Dave
and Whitney are "probably the cutest married couple in Nashville".
They
recorded their first EP titled Alibi at Legends Studio with Producer Dan
Frizsell. The EP consists of 4 songs and 2 bonus tracks, released July 11,
2015.
Released
to country radio Oct 6, 2015, Country/ Pop “Alibi” (GrassRoots Promotion) with its "little help from my
friends" tune offers up the perfect "Alibi" in a missing person mystery. A modern-day CSI musical,
the track highlights eerie sounds reminiscent of the pedal steel featured in
the TV series Trueblood. (Russ Pahl makes a special appearance to infuse the
sinister vibe.)
The
delightfully dark and stormy single showcases sassy female vocals and male
harmonies that are "Oh so, Dave & Whitney." The cheeky hit-making
lyrics and intriguing storyline parallel "Goodbye Earl" (Dixie
Chicks), "Two Black Cadillacs" (Carrie Underwood) and "Gunpowder
And Lead" (Miranda Lambert).

Machine Label Group proudly introduces the multi-talented Ashley Campbell and her debut Dot Records single, "Remembering" (written with Kai
Welch). She joined Dot Records (a division of Big Machine Label Group) roster
that includes Steven Tyler, Maddie & Tae, Drake White and 20-year-old
newcomer Tucker Beathard and more.
The
daughter of Country Music Hall of Fame member Glen Campbell and the goddaughter of Grammy award winning musician Carl Jackson, theres no denying her
iconic Country pedigree. Her music is a mix of her wide-ranging influences,
combining the old-school country sound popularized by her father during the
’60s and ’70s with contemporary Americana, rootsy folk, and country-pop.
Glen
Campbell’s longtime fans may hear something familiar in Ashley’s melodies as
she embraces these similarities while distinguishing herself as a talented
front woman. The up-and-coming singer knows the industry well — she spent three
years on the road with her father, playing guitar, banjo and keyboards and
providing harmonies during his farewell tour.
“I wanted to write something that expressed
to my dad how much I wanted him to feel safe … that he didn’t have to worry;
I’ll take care of him when he can’t take care of himself,” she explained. “When you’re little, your parents take care of you and make the world
not such a scary place. As you get older, those relationships change and kind
of swap places. The kids are the ones taking care of the parents and making
sure the world’s not a scary place for them.”

“Sumptuous and flexible croon” – New York Times
Alyssa and Doug Graham, from Nashville have spent nearly their entire lives
exploring music together. Friends since she was 7 and he was 9, they became a
couple in their teens, then husband and wife. Somewhere along the way, they
also became The Grahams, a dynamic Americana duo who’ve married their love of
adventure with a desire to build on foundations laid by their musical
predecessors.
The
unique process that Americana group The Grahams employed in the writing of
their debut album RIVERMAN'S DAUGHTER
(released Sept 3, 2013)resonated so well with the Nashville based band that
they undertook a similar technique in the creation of new material, which will
come together on their sophomore release on May 19, 2105.
With
RIVERMAN'S DAUGHTER The Grahams traveled the Mississippi-hugging Great River
Road, winding up on a houseboat in the Louisiana swamp where their songs of the
river came together. A similar process went into the writing of new material,
except this time, instead of following the lazy river, The Grahams rode
streamlined rails, jumping aboard almost all the Amtrak cars including the
Adirondack Line, the Texas Eagle, and the Sunset Limited, crisscrossing the
country as the America that informs their songs whizzed by.
“Our methodology is to follow the paths and
revisit the places that inspired our predecessors, not because we want to
imitate them or faithfully reproduce their work, but because we are looking for
the modern echo of older sounds, and hope to give shape to these enduring
reverberations. Nothing can serve that methodology better than riding the rails."
With
their sophomore album, the explosive and aptly named GLORY BOUND, which was produced by Wes
Sharon (John Fullbright, Parker Millsap) which was released on May 19, 2015,
The Graham’s are expanding their roots-based sound to include more propulsive
and dynamic songs, as influenced by the speed and energy of their recent
cross-country train travels, where the songs came together.
They
are touring the UK & Ireland in November 2015 (Dates
