ABOUT MARK MACKAY

From the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville to Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and countless destinations in between: Singer-songwriter Mark Mackay delivers electrifying performances to unite listeners with captivating anthems and blazing musicality.

Touring relentlessly across the country, he has reached a loyal multi-genre audience for his guitar-driven American Music. In addition to headlining slots at concerts, fairs, festivals, and tours, Mark has opened for hard rockers REO Speedwagon, Richie Sambora, Ted Nugent, and Night Ranger; plus, platinum country hitmakers Blake Shelton, Tim McGraw, Old Dominion, Gary Allan, and Eli Young Band.

Mark Mackay fans will have plenty of new music to savor. After an ambitious series of indie full-lengths and EP’s, the Nashville-based artist has recently inked a deal with Bungalo Records/Universal Music Group. The lead single, “Meant for This” finds Mark expressing a heart-filled testament enveloped in the aural textures of harmonica, slide guitar, and a beguiling chorus.

For his newest collection of tracks, he selected an accomplished team of first call players to join him at Universal Music’s East Iris Studios. “We threw out the rule book,” Mark testifies. “To craft a sound that was both rock and roadhouse; historic and contemporary.” Mark’s expansive circle of co-conspirators includes such luminaries as Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame honoree Jeffrey Steele, Ted Russell Kamp from the Shooter Jennings band, and multiple ACM Guitarist of the Year nominee Adam Shoenfeld, who’s behind the board production expertise, plus his stellar guitar work, are notable contributions to the newest recordings.

As a California native, Mark grew up on the indelible sounds of Laurel Canyon and Bakersfield. Trained as a classical pianist, he studied blues and rock guitar at Musicians Institute in Hollywood. He says this newest stage of his recording journey brings him full cycle as a singer-songwriter. “I came to Hollywood writing narrative storyteller songs; then a six-year journey to try to write and record down the middle. Now, with more maturity and skills, I come back with the genuine authenticity of what I set out to do.”

ABOUT CJ SOLAR

With the fuel of Country, Southern rock and Delta blues pumping through his veins, CJ Solar is a natural at fusing all his influences with pure musical talent and vocal chops into a badass new sound. Already turning heads in Nashville, Baton Rouge and beyond, having been named one of the “New Artists You Need To Know” by Rolling Stone Country, and racking up over four million streams on Spotify, Solar says the driving force behind his untimely success isn’t fame nor fortune – it’s just a diehard infatuation with the music he grew up on.

Solar has released two popular EPs and just dropped his “Coming My Way” single and music video from his upcoming third EP of the same name on Sea Gayle Records.

His five-song Get Away With It EP was released in 2018, and he co-wrote all of the songs with the likes of Bob DiPiero, Rick Huckaby, Michael Hardy and others. Both singles from the EP, “Airplane” and “American Girls,” hit #15 and were two of the highest charting singles from an independent artist. Rolling Stone Country listed “Airplane” as one of their “10 Best Country and Americana Songs of the Week.” The chart success of both singles led to CJ being named “Independent Artist of the Year” at the 2019 Annual Music Row Country Breakout Awards ceremony in and being nominated for “Breakthrough Artist-Writer” at the 2019 Music Row Awards.

Solar’s critically acclaimed debut EP, Hard One to Turn Down, hit in 2016, and The Daily Country wrote, “Solar injects a hefty (and welcome) dose of Southern rock into his country, which melds perfectly with his gravelly vocals.” The Shotgun Seat welcomed the EP as “the perfect pairing of country storytelling and rocking rhythms, married by his dynamic vocals.” His “Tallboy” single garnered over two million streams on Spotify, and the music video hit #1 on the fan-voted CMT 12 Pack Countdown after spending 13 weeks in the countdown. The follow-up single, “Just Another Day in the Country,” was one of the fastest rising and highest charting debut singles for an independent artist.

In a business of dreams, one of CJ’s biggest ones came true on September 7, 2019, when he was invited to make his debut appearance on the Grand Ole Opry. The appearance held special significance to CJ. At the age of 12, CJ, his parents and two brothers attended an Opry show while on a family trip to Nashville. Dierks Bentley, Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton performed that night, and CJ made the quality decision to follow in their footsteps.

CJ celebrated his first #1 country single as a songwriter with Morgan Wallen’s “Up Down” smash hit featuring Florida Georgia Line last year. The song garnered CJ an ASCAP Award and the Nashville Songwriters Award for “10 Songs I Wish I’d Written.” He co-wrote Jason Aldean’s “I Don’t Drink Anymore,” Jerrod Niemann’s Top 30 single “Blue Bandana” and “The Regulars” and Justin Moore’s “Between You & Me.” He also had writing credits on Mike Ryan’s “Damn Good Goodbye” and Kyle Park’s single, “What the Heaven,” which hit #1 on the Texas regional radio chart.

A road warrior at heart, CJ is growing his fan base opening for such artists as Chris Janson, Gary Allan, The Cadillac Three, Old Dominion and even his heroes like Lynyrd Skynyrd, 38 Special and Hank Williams, Jr., as well as headlining his own dates across the country.

ABOUT COUNTRY REWIND

Get ready to rewind the clock at Stoney’s Rockin’ Country for Country Rewind – a throwback night filled with your favorite 90s and early 2000s country hits with DJ Manda. No cover for Military, Teachers, Nurses, and First Responders in gratitude for their service. Free dance lessons are at 7:30 and 8:30 p.m., and free Mechanical Bull rides all night long. 21+ only.

ABOUT CASEY CHESNUTT

Casey has been playing music for more than 10 years. In high school, he played gigs at night and ran to class the following morning. He saw local success but put it on hold after enlisting in the Marines where he served five years as an Infantry Rifleman and went on his final deployment with Alpha Company, First Battalion, Second Marines. From there, he hit the same bars doing the same thing. Eventually, his daughter Annie was born. He then felt the need to release his own music but was shy with writing. He released the “Down Mexico Way” album with his first hit single, “Even Texas Couldn’t Hold Her,” which hit number 9 on the Texas Charts. Afterwards, he became more confident and started writing music more in line with his true self. Eventually, he found his way up on the legendary Billy Bob’s stage with his dad (Mark Chesnutt) in the beginning of 2023. He then secured a residency at the Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa the following month. After all that, he put together a personal album that he loves called “Tryin’ Out.”

ABOUT THE ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARTY

Get your green on and party like the Irish with a country twist for a night full of fun surprises featuring DJ Manda with beer and shotski specials!

ABOUT BRODIE STEWART

Brodie Stewart grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento and spent his summers in Red Bluff, California. At a young age, his favorite things to do were going to the rodeo, listening to country music, singing, and playing guitar. Soon enough, Brodie formed, fronted a southern rock band, and had the good fortune of touring the country, opening for big artists in front of sold-out arenas. His band even charted on Billboard.

With his southern rock roots, Brodie returned to what he loved the most, “country music”. While writing songs for his own album, Brodie also wrote and produced songs for various other artists, such as “Sweet Isabel”, recorded by Enrique Iglesias for his (Interscope Records) release entitled “Insomniac”. Shortly after placing Sweet Isabel with Enrique, Martin Kierszenbaum (President of Cherrytree/Interscope Records) signed Brodie to a song/production deal with the label. Quickly following, Brodie signed a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music Publishing. Since that time, Brodie has written and produced several tracks for various artists.

Currently, 100% of Brodie’s attention is on his country music endeavors. On his debut album “Born American”, Brodie teamed up with guitarist/producer/songwriter “Adam Shoenfeld” (Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw, Luke Bryan, Keith Urban, Jake Owen, Big and Rich, Florida Georgia Line and many more) to co-produce and play on the album along with several top players, including working with one great engineer, Aaron Chmielewski in Nashville. In addition to gearing up promotion for his “Debut Album”, Brodie’s “high octane show” has been touring the West Coast.

ABOUT LEWIS BRICE

With a sound rooted at the intersection of country, southern rock, and R&B, Lewis Brice comes at you with high-energy stories; sounds that catch your ear and make you want to move. Born and raised in Sumter, South Carolina, he grew up singing in church choir and praise bands. Lewis eventually moved to Charleston, where he began performing his first live shows and presenting his own music to a new crowd.

Lewis currently lives just north of Nashville, TN, where he spends his time writing and working on new music. He travels and performs all over the country, including regular appearances in Key West. Blessed to play shows with friends and family including Hank Jr., Luke Bryan, Derks Bentley, Dustin Lynch, Lee Brice, The Cadillac Three, Jason Rice, Jerrod Niemann, Gary Allan, LOCASH, American Young, and more. He has been able to spread his original music in front of attentive audiences nationwide and continuously grow a strong fan base.

Lewis Brice’s live show is full of energy, with songs that bring a distinctive groove, narrative lyrics, and bluesy soulful singing. Lewis’ band, known as The Escorts, consists of Nashville native Johannes Greer on drums, Phil Lester on bass, and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Josh Waters. Together, they bring their musical character and incredible skills to create an experience you won’t forget.

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT
SET TO RELEASE DELUXE EDITION OF
‘GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY’ ALBUM
JUNE 13 VIA BETTER NOISE MUSIC
FEATURING NEW VERSION OF “HOLY WATER” OUT TODAY
WITH GUEST VOCALS BY IVAN MOODY OF FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH
LISTEN TO THE SONG HERE

NEW SHOWS ADDED AS PART OF ICE NINE KILLS TOUR
AND VANS WARPED TOUR SHOWS IN LONG BEACH SET FOR JULY 26 AND 27

(Downloadable artwork here)

Emo rock revivalists THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT—Lee Jennings (Vocals), Cody Weissinger (Guitar), Caleb Freihaut (Guitar/Auxiliary), Robert Weston (Bass), and Homer Umbanhowar (Drums)—will release a deluxe edition of their critically acclaimed second album, GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY, on June 13 via Better Noise Music.

Ahead of the album’s release, they’ve today (February 28) unveiled an instant grat track with pre-orders of a new version of “Holy Water.” It now features guest vocals by Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch, with whom THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT toured in 2024. Moody’s powerful and distinctively rugged vocals bring an exciting new element to the track. Listen to the song HERE, which has been making a huge impact at radio in its first week and debuting on Billboard’s “Mainstream Rock Tracks” chart at #21, while a video for the song will be released Friday, March 28.

Pre-orders for the digital, CD and vinyl copies of the deluxe edition of GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY are available today here. The digital deluxe collection will include 24 songs, including “Holy Water” feat. Ivan Moody, songs from the CASSANOVA EP and the FROM BEYOND THE ABYSS EP, as well as the recently released version of “Hearse for Two” feat. Lilith Czar and three brand new songs, “Skinny Lies,” “Evergreen,” and “Lost Boy.” The vinyl and CD two-disc deluxe packages feature 21 tracks, one of which is exclusive to the physical formats (“Friends Like These”).

“‘Holy Water’ has always been one of the most personal and cathartic songs I’ve ever written,” explains THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s Lee Jennings. “It’s about confronting your darkest moments and finding the strength to cleanse yourself of the weight they carry. Seeing the connection its made with fans, especially during our live shows, has been beyond powerful—watching the crowd scream the lyrics back at us is proof that music really can heal. Having Ivan Moody join us on this track took it to another level. His energy, passion, and personal story made him the perfect voice to help tell this chapter, and we couldn’t be more honored to have him be part of it.”

“Before our tour together, I wasn’t too familiar with The Funeral Portrait’s music, so I didn’t know what to expect,” says Ivan Moody. “But after watching them night after night, seeing how they commanded the stage and connected with the crowd, I was absolutely hooked. The passion, intensity, and raw emotion they bring to their performances make them one of the most exciting new bands out there. And Lee’s voice? Absolutely incredible—one of my favorite new singers! We had talked about collaborating before the tour, but the timing never worked out. Then, while speeding down the highway, I heard ‘Holy Water’ on the radio and couldn’t help but sing along. What an amazing track! It immediately brought back the idea of working together, so I hit up Lee about the possibility of me redoing the song with them. Luckily, he was all in—and here we are….The rest is history.”

“Holy Water” was described by MetalPlanetMusic.com in a September 8, 2024 review as “a full-on arena anthem sound that hits straight between the ears. The beat is hard and uncompromising, with the dual guitar riffs forcing the emotion down your throat. The choral harmony during the bridge gives the track a ‘it’s our song, and we’re going to do what the fuck we want to’ vibe. It’s a real monster of a track.”

GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY, released September 13, 2024 via Better Noise Music, consists of 14 tracks of theatrical, dramatic, unapologetic, full-throated flair with guest appearances from Bert McCracken of The Used, Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria, and Amanda Lyberg of Eva Under Fire. Get a copy of GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY on CD or digital download now at https://thefuneralportrait.ffm.to/gfsc.

Last November THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT landed the #1 spot on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay and Mediabase’s Active Rock radio charts with their hit single “Suffocate City (feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills).” This marks the band’s first-ever #1 radio single and first entry onto any Billboard chart. The single has garnered over 6.5 million streams globally and over 600k views for its prom-themed music video.

Meanwhile, Pandora named THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT as one of their “Artists to Watch 2025: The Pandora Ten,” which spotlights a group of ten emerging artists across all genres that it believes will break through in the coming year.

In touring news, THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT has been bringing their message to the masses with an aggressive touring plan that continues throughout 2025. The band is on the road now throughout the U.S. and Canada with Catch Your Breath & Archers.

DATE: FEBRUARY 14, 2025

CHAPEL HART
TODAY (FEBRUARY 14)
RELEASES NEW VALENTINE’S DAY SINGLE AND VIDEO:
“PERFECT FOR ME”

LISTEN TO THE SONG HERE AND
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ‘PERFECT FOR ME’ HERE

“No, he don’t lie (He don’t lie)/
He don’t cheat (He don’t cheat)/
Oh, he’s my everything/
Yes, he’s perfect for me…”
–“Perfect For Me”

SINGLE ART—“PERFECT FOR ME”

NASHVILLE – Renowned female country music trio CHAPEL HART have today released their new single and video—“Perfect For Me”—from their most recent GLORY DAYS album. Released on Valentine’s Day (today, February 14), the song celebrates the loving, hardworking, and dependable everyday man in your life. The track was written by CHAPEL HART—sisters Danica and Devynn Hart and cousin Trea Swindle—along with co-writer and hitmaker, Leslie Satcher (Martina McBride, “When God Fearin’ Women Get The Blues”; George Strait, “Troubadour”; Gretchen Wilson & Merle Haggard, “Politically Uncorrect”). Listen to the song HERE and watch the video HERE.

“It feels like it’s about time for a song to salute the blue collar ‘everyday’ working man!” CHAPEL HART’s Danica Hart says. “And this is it! He may not be rich or have the physique your family and friends thinks he should have, but he loves, respects, honors, and protects you and that makes him…‘PERFECT FOR ME!’”

“As soon as they listen to it, every one of my male friends fall in love with this song,” the group’s Trea Swindle adds. “It’s like they immediately picture themselves as that unexpectedly perfect guy, and the crazy thing is, for someone, somewhere, they really are.”

The release of this new single leads the way into what is becoming a very busy 2025 touring and festival season for the trio. First up, CHAPEL HART has just confirmed a partnership with the Academy of Country Music for their ACM Live from the Red Barrel Lounge concert series (February 17-21) on Princess Cruises for a Western Caribbean/Mexico trek. Later this spring, CHAPEL HART will head to New Orleans for two April festival appearances: French Quarter Festival and the acclaimed New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, followed by performance dates around the U.S., Korea, Copenhagen, Germany, and the UK (see tour schedule below.) The group’s May shows in Korea will have them performing for U.S. troops following rave reviews from servicemen and women for their recent military shows; this is part of CHAPEL HART’s ongoing commitment to giving back. Meanwhile, the group is preparing for a new album later this year.

An exciting 2024 was had by the group as they not only toured the U.S., UK and Japan, but also wrote, recorded, and released their first Christmas album, HARTFELT FAMILY CHRISTMAS, which the NEW YORK TIMES described as “both pristine and playful…” and launched a holiday tour in support of its release. Most recently, the Opry NextStage Artists performed at a birthday celebration for Dolly Parton, the Queen of Country’s 79^th birthday (January 18) on the Opry stage. The group was also recently featured in US WEEKLY after they finally got to meet the legendary Parton following the 2021 release of “You Can Have Him Jolene,” a song inspired by Dolly’s iconic 1970’s ‘Jolene.’”

About CHAPEL HART:

CHAPEL HART, consisting of sisters Danica and Devynn Hart, along with their cousin Trea Swindle, are celebrated for their performance of their Dolly Parton-inspired “You Can Have Him, Jolene” during their first appearance on America’s Got Talent in 2022 which earned them a group Golden Buzzer and catapulted them to stardom. In quick succession, the Mississippi natives shot to No. 1 on iTunes, heard from Parton herself, and received an invitation to make their Grand Ole Opry debut. Since then, they’ve gone on a world tour and reached fans around the globe earning them the title of “International Group of the Year” as well as “International Song of the Year” for the single “You Can Have Him Jolene” in Scotland. They were also nominated in multiple categories by the British CMA’s including “Group of the Year” and “Album of the Year” for their sophomore album release “The Girls Are Back In Town.”

“18 & Life. I Remember You. In A Darkened Room. Wasted Time. By Your Side. And now, it’s time …TO LIVE AGAIN!”
–Sebastian Bach, 2025

SEBASTIAN BACH is releasing yet another video from his CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN album (Reigning Phoenix Music). The new video for “To Live Again” marks the seventh from the album and is another collaboration between BACH and Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera. Watch the video HERE.

“‘To Live Again’ is the closest song to a ballad on the record. It was co-written with the super talented Myles Kennedy, who also co-wrote the song ‘What Do I Got to Lose?’ the first single off this record,” SEBASTIAN says. “I could not be more proud of this song and this video. This song is the sound of my voice being pushed as far and as hard as it will go, in every way–power, range and emotion. If you have enjoyed the ballads that I have been releasing since the year 1989, I really do think you will enjoy this song and video.”

“We have been working on this video for months and months and it was finally completed in January 2025. Without a doubt, this is the most time, effort and pathos that I have ever put into creating a rock video. This video is like a fantasy dream that has been going through my head for the last year. The directors Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera have made recurring dreams that I have had at night come to life in this beautifully shot video.”

This year will see SEBASTIAN expand his horizons with his first-ever art show. In collaboration with Wentworth Gallery, BACH will be making a special in-person appearance on the Monsters of Rock Cruise (March 10-15) showcasing stunning works inspired by his late father, the renowned artist David Bierk. On the live front, look for a May headlining performance at M3 Rock Festival followed by a slot at Summerfest.

2024 was a remarkable year for the singer, songwriter, author, Broadway star, and actor. BACH’s CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN album–his first in more than 10 years—was well-received, with Associated Press saying “…it shows a fierce performer in prime fighting form…his vocals remain sharp and his songwriting talents as cunning as ever,” while Ultimate Classic Rock noted: “Bach’s voice has lost none of its rage or range, even in the highest registers…” In addition, the album’s “(Hold On) To the Dream” track was included in Consequence‘s 30 Best Metal & Hard Rock Songs of 2024 which described the song as “…a late-career masterpiece from the former Skid Row singer. Baz hits some of the highest notes of his career on the sweeping ballad, an inspiring anthem about perseverance.”

“I would like to thank all of the rockers who put Child Within the Man at the top of so many fans Top Album lists of 2024,” BACH continues. “This will be the last full video that we will shoot for a while. There is one more video surprise coming later this year from the record, but this will be the last full concept video from the album…for now anyways. I cannot thank you all enough for the support on this project which has consumed my life for over a decade now. For those devastated by the California Wildfires and the courageous first responders, the song ‘To Live Again’ carries the sentiment that even if you lose everything you have, if you still have your family, that is the most important thing. Make art at all costs. That’s what we do. The show must go on. There is no other option.”

On the touring front, SEBASTIAN performed a record 91 shows in 2024. The dates included two successful North American tours–one around the release of the album, followed by another leg of fall shows–and a series of overseas appearances just before the album’s release.

Last month, SEBASTIAN was back on TV when he appeared on Food Network’s “Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition: Heroes vs. Villains.” In addition, last June SEBASTIAN was the subject of an A&E Biography: Rock Legends Special. This follows his 2023 appearance as “Tiki” on Fox’s “The Masked Singer.”

“To Live Again,” is the latest release from his CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN album which has yielded the following singles/videos, all of which have impacted the rock charts: “Freedom,” “What Do I Got To Lose?,” “Everybody Bleeds,” and “(Hold On) To The Dream” (along with the “(Hold On) To The Dream” alternate video) and “Future of Youth.”

CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN was recorded in Orlando, Florida; produced and mixed by Elvis Baskette; engineered by Jef Moll, assistant engineered by Josh Saldate; and mastered by Robert Ludwig/Gateway Mastering. BACH wrote or co-wrote all the album’s 11 tracks and sang all lead and backing vocals. CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN features guest appearances from John 5, Steve Stevens, and Orianthi—who all co-wrote their respective tracks with BACH—and two tracks co-written with Myles Kennedy (“What Do I Got to Lose?” and “To Live Again’); Devin Bronson on guitars, Todd Kerns (bass) and Jeremy Coulson (drums) round out the players on the album.
