ABOUT LANIE GARDNER

Lanie Gardner is a singer-songwriter, TikToker, YouTuber, and entrepreneur from the United States. She rose to fame when her cover of Fleetwood Mac’s song “Dreams” went viral on YouTube. She has since established a thriving musical career, touring the country supporting larger artists.

ABOUT PRESLEY TENNANT

Radiant and fearless, Presley Tennant is the result of unequivocal talent and California ease. Dubbed a “vocal powerhouse” by Taste of Country, People Magazine states Presley is “quickly proving that she is a wild card in the country music industry.”

Rooted in the classics, the Horsetown, USA (aka Norco, CA) native immersed herself in Country Music following her national appearance on The Voice at just 16 years old. Determined to make her own way in the industry, Tennant teamed up with some of the industry’s top creatives to produce her own version of California-Country, melding together western lifestyle, her unparalleled powerhouse vocals, traditional roots, and a modern energy.

Filled with uncompromising integrity, the ‘it’ factor and a dream, it’s no surprise Presley has shared the stage with musical heroes Tim McGraw, Kelly Clarkson, Carly Pearce, Blake Shelton and more. Not only is she immensely talented, but she also has a heart of gold, donating her time to animal organizations through her Riffs & Rescues virtual charity tour, where she performs live and raises awareness and funds for various animal initiatives.

ABOUT A THOUSAND HORSES

The high-powered new single from A Thousand Horses, “Highway Sound” marks the start of the most dynamic era yet in the Nashville-based band’s career. Produced by GRAMMY Award-winner Jon Randall, the wildly life-affirming anthem delves deeper into the freewheeling originality they’ve embraced since their Dave Cobb-produced debut SOUTHERNALITY—featuring the PLATINUM-certified smash “Smoke”—and artfully merges elements of Southern Rock, Classic Country, and hard-driving Americana. Along with adorning the track with plenty of ear-catching details (achieved in part through such left-of-center instrumentation as electric sitar and talk box), A Thousand Horses fully capture what frontman Michael Hobby refers to as “the freedom of cutting ties with the negativity of the past and putting your energy into celebrating a new beginning.”

Written after a period of intense change in their personal lives, “Highway Sound” first took shape over the course of a weekend trip to a Texas farmhouse in summer 2021, during which Hobby, guitarist Bill Satcher, bassist Graham DeLoach, and former guitarist Zach Brown came up with the song during an impromptu session on the porch. A major leap forward for A Thousand Horses, “Highway Sound” spotlights the powerful musicianship and soulful urgency first revealed on SOUTHERNALITY—a 2015 LP that reached #3 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, with “Smoke” earning recognition as the first debut single for a group to reach #1 on the Country Airplay charts that decade. Soon after launching their own label, Highway Sound Records, A Thousand Horses returned with their 2022 sophomore album BROKEN HEARTLAND, featuring standouts like “When I Hear Your Name,” “Another Mile,” and “Never Liked the Rain.” Known for their incendiary live show, A Thousand Horses have also toured the country with iconic acts like Lynyrd Skynyrd and more. In 2024, A Thousand Horses are embarking on their 16-show Spring headline tour and will continue to release new music with their full-length album The Outside slated for later this year.

ABOUT KALEB AUSTIN

Kaleb Austin grew up in Murray, UT where he cultivated a love for singing and writing country music from a very early age. He began writing his own songs at age 14 and quickly realized he wanted to pursue a career in the music business. In the coming years he would have the chance to share the stage with the likes of JoDee Messina, Billy Currington, Dan+Shay, Brantley Gilbert and Joe Nichols among others. After chasing his dreams for over a decade he finally got his big break through social media. His wife Cheyenne began posting short videos of Kaleb singing to his baby daughter which swiftly gained him a following of almost 2 million people. His following dubbed the “KAmpfire” helped him get to Nashville and record his first #1 iTunes single, “Sound of the South” with long time hitmaker Dan Frizsell. This marked a turning point in Kaleb’s life giving his music new wings and earning him the title of “TikTok Country Artist of the Year.” He has since released a full album with several chart-topping hits including “Turn the Night On” and “Sun Goes Down.” He currently resides in Salt Lake City where he is preparing for his upcoming tour and is actively writing for his second studio album.

Bay Area staple alt rock group FINISH TICKET share their alluring new track “Float Away” today, Friday, June 28, across digital platforms. With a strong rhythmic pulse, trebly guitar lines, dreamy synths, and an irresistible melody, it’s featured on their much-anticipated sophomore album ECHO AFTERNOON (due September 6 via Better Noise Music).

“Float Away” was written by vocalist Brendan Hoye during a period of writer’s block he experienced during the COVID pandemic. “With life on pause around the world, it felt impossible to draw inspiration from anything,” shares Hoye. “Nothing was thrilling during lockdown, but everyone was searching for hobbies, watching tv shows, and making bread.  I thought about how these were fun distractions, but I never felt like I was escaping the mundaneness of my reality.  I thought harder about what had recently been providing me with that escape and decided I would write the most embarrassing song I’d ever written, but that it would never see the light of day.”

“Fast forward a few months and I showed the band the song thinking it would be a good laugh,” Hoye recalls. “Unfortunately, to my horror, they loved it and insisted it be on the record.  It’s a song that saved me as a writer, a song that makes me cringe when I remember that my grandma listens to my music, a song that feels right at home in our live show, and a song about giving.”

Stream “Float Away” now at https://finishticket.ffm.to/floataway. Watch its lyric video streaming below or via YouTube HERE.

Co-produced by FINISH TICKET, Jim Kaufman (Danny Worsnop, Helmet, Atlas Genius), and Michael Coleman (Chappel Roan, Sure Sure, Em Beihold), ECHO AFTERNOON’s 12 tracks show the band at their most vulnerable as they narrate the struggles and anxiety of being stuck in limbo while trying to find an escape to a brighter future. The album is an emotional roller coaster allowing listeners who’ve faced the uncertainty in their own lives to relate and to look forward to a brighter future. Pre-order ECHO AFTERNOON on cd, vinyl and/or digital LP now at https://finishticket.ffm.to/echoafternoon.

FINISH TICKET have toured alongside the likes of Twenty One Pilots, Ed Sheeran, Fall Out Boy, AWOLNATION, and The Beaches. They’ve also made key festival appearances including Bonnaroo, Life Is Beautiful, Outside Lands, and Lollapalooza.

Catch them on the road this summer with indie rockers Nico Vega across North America from July 22 to August 2. Tickets are available now HERE. Dates as follows:

ABOUT FINISH TICKET:
FINISH TICKET have taken fans, and themselves, on a rollercoaster ride throughout their career with a whirlwind of highs and lows. After creating a wave with sold-out shows across the Bay Area and their debut album Tears You Apart, they were picked up by Atlantic Records who released their EP When Night Becomes Day. They made their debut late-night TV performance on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien.” In 2019, FINISH TICKET self-released their hit track “Dream Song,” which garnered over 4.1 million streams and saw the band embark on a successful headlining tour, selling out multiple venues across the country. Then COVID hit in 2020 and put everything to a halt.

After spending the past three years writing and recording their second full-length album, Echo Afternoon, FINISH TICKET signed a record deal with Better Noise Music and released the record’s first track “Changing” in July 2023. This was supported by a U.S. run with The Beaches followed by a summer long tour which included a performance at Lollapalooza (alongside headlining acts Billie Eilish and Karol G) and Arizona’s Innings Fest.

CORY MARKS Highlights Dual Rock/Country Persona with Two New Tracks: “Guilty (feat. DL of Bad Wolves)” & “Drunk When I’m High”

DT: JUNE 28, 2024

FM: KELLY WALSH, MITCH SCHNEIDER / SRO PR

CORY MARKS
HIGHLIGHTS HIS DUAL COUNTRY/ROCK PERSONA
WITH RELEASE OF TWO NEW TRACKS:
ROCK-LEANING
“GUILTY (FEAT. DL OF BAD WOLVES)”
AND
COUNTRY SUMMER ANTHEM
“DRUNK WHEN I’M HIGH”
OUT DIGITALLY TODAY, JUNE 28 VIA BETTER NOISE MUSIC

Equally divided between arena-rock and roots country, singer-songwriter CORY MARKS has released a double serving of new music today, June 28, with the rock-leaning “Guilty” featuring guest vocals from DL of Bad Wolves, and country-oriented summer anthem “Drunk When I’m High.” Both tracks are available digitally via all streaming platforms and will be included on MARKS’ forthcoming solo album due later this year via Better Noise Music.

Guilty (feat. DL of Bad Wolves)” was produced, engineered and mixed by Kile Odell (Failure Anthem, Nita Strauss). “‘Guilty’ is really all about being unapologetically yourself and being okay with that,” says MARKS. “Having DL of Bad Wolves join me on this track really adds more fuel to this rock song making it even harder and heavier—he sounds great on it. If living my life is a crime, then I’m guilty.” Stream/download “Guilty (feat. DL of Bad Wolves)” here: https://corymarks.ffm.to/guilty. Watch the music video HERE.

“This song was a really fun listen from the first time, so when I got the opportunity to sing on it, I was stoked,” shares DL. “This was really enjoying to do, thanks to Cory for having me.”

“Drunk When I’m High” was produced, engineered and mixed by Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, Shania Twain) at The Hideout Recording Studio in Henderson, NV. According to MARKS, “This summer anthem is just supposed to make you feel good, happy and upbeat. It’s a great song to turn up and play in your car, on your boat, at a house party, just chilling on a beach or by the pool all summer long. Drunk while I’m high watching days go by…” Stream/download “Drunk When I’m High” here: https://corymarks.ffm.to/guilty. Watch the music video HERE.

MARKS has brought his country-rock fusion in front of a diverse range of audiences across Canada and the U.S. alongside acts including Five Finger Death Punch, ZZ Top, Toby Keith, and Brantley Gilbert, while also joining Nickelback on the main stage at this year’s Boots and Hearts festival. This summer, MARKS will appear at several festivals in Canada and a handful of headlining shows. See dates listed below and find ticket details at https://www.corymarks.com. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for a special U.S. tour announcement.

MARKS’ 2020 groundbreaking debut album, Who I Am, landed at #1 on several Canadian charts including iTunes’ “Country Songs” and the Canadian Nielsen “Digital Sales Rock Genre” charts. The album featured the hit rock single “Outlaws & Outsiders,” which charted at #1 in the U.S. on Billboard’s “Rock Digital Song Sales” chart and #5 on iTunes “Country Songs. “Outlaws & Outsiders” made history in the U.S. by being the first-ever Top 10 rock radio-charting single from a Canadian country act. The single has received over 160 million streams to date while achieving Platinum certification in Canada (MARKS’ home country) and Gold certification in the U.S. MARKS has since released three additional EPs and kicked off 2024 with a new track, “A Different Kind Of Year,” which to date has accumulated 1 million streams and charted in the Top 10 on SiriusXM’s Top of the Country Radio.

Active rock heavyweights NOTHING MORE mark the release of their new album CARNAL via Better Noise Music today (June 28) by landing their second-ever #1 single on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay charts with “IF IT DOESN’T HURT.” It follows the band’s debut #1 single, 2017’s “Go To War,” which recently became RIAA Gold-Certified and received two Grammy Award nominations (“Best Rock Song” and “Best Rock Performance”).

The 3x Grammy-nominated band—Jonny Hawkins (vocals), Mark Vollelunga (guitar), Daniel Oliver (bass), and Ben Anderson (drums)—have today also shared a compelling and ferocious music video for the album track “STUCK” featuring rapper Sinizter. Watch it now on YouTube HERE or streaming below.

CARNAL also features two previously released singles: the emotionally charged “ANGEL SONG” (featuring iconic rock vocalist / singer-songwriter David Draiman of the 5x Platinum certified group Disturbed) and the defiant “HOUSE ON SAND” (featuring I Prevail vocalist Eric Vanlerberghe).

Recorded with Grammy-nominated producer WZRD BLD (Disturbed, Motionless In White, A Day To Remember), CARNAL unites NOTHING MORE’s trademark introspective philosophical lyrics and unapologetically massive anthems with in-your-face rockers designed for an all-encompassing audience. Blabbermouth hails the album as “one of the band’s most eclectic releases to date.” CARNAL is out now via digital download, CD, vinyl, and cassette tape at https://nothingmore.ffm.to/carnal.

NOTHING MORE will host a special listening party tonight (June 28) in Nashville before taking their new album on the road across the U.S. this summer/fall, from August 31 to September 24, on the headlining “Carnal Tour 2024”. It features support from Set It Off, From Ashes To New, and Post Profit. NOTHING MORE will also perform a handful of dates as direct support to rock legends Godsmack (7/23-26, 10/17-26) and hit the stages at several top rock festivals including Rocklahoma, Louder Than Life, and Aftershock.

ABOUT TENNESSEE JET

Long before Tennessee Jet began crisscrossing America as a one-man band, playing nightly shows full of fuzz guitar, primal percussion, and songs that split the difference between country and raw rock & roll, he traveled the interstates of Oklahoma with his bronc-riding father and barrel-racing mother. Sitting on the bench seat of an old Ford pickup truck pulling a horse trailer while heading to the next rodeo, he’d watch the grasslands of his home state fly past the windshield at highway speed. Country music was always on the radio back then, and those songs — honest, heartfelt classics by icons like Willie Nelson and Dwight Yoakam, both of whom he’d eventually join on tour — left a permanent mark. The Country, Tennessee Jet’s third album, nods to that childhood soundtrack. A salute to the sounds of his youth, these songs double down on Jet’s country and folk influences, without sacrificing the left-of-center approach that’s earned him a reputation as a genre bender. Honky-tonk ballads, twin fiddles, and country two-steps rub shoulders with a Nirvana-inspired rock song (“Johnny,” a tribute to 1950s legend Johnny Horton) and a bluegrass cover of the Black Crowes’ “She Talks to Angels.” The result is a richly textured album that’s both classic and modern in the same breath. This is raw, truthful country music — a reinvention of the sound that’s always formed the bedrock of Tennessee Jet’s artistry, even during his most amplified moments.

“My career has been a constant purging of what I’ve done before, so I can reinvent and create something that’s uniquely me,” says Jet, who kicked off his touring career by taking the stage alone, an electric guitar strapped across his chest and a drum set at his feet, accompanying himself with a one-man fuzz-filled wall of sound. It was an approach that owed as much to rock & roll’s distorted stomp as country music’s twang, and for Jet — an enthusiastic fan of Neil Young and Jack White, two forward-thinking rockers who, like Jet, refuse to be pigeonholed — the contrast between those genres was the whole point.

The Country marks the most collaborative project of Jet’s career. A songwriter, front man, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, he took a do-it-yourself approach to his 2015 debut and 2017’s Reata, both of which found Jet playing every instrument himself. The Country references those early years with songs like the autobiographical “Stray Dogs,” whose lyrics find a young Jet speeding down the Indian Nation Turnpike, his future wife riding shotgun, fueled by a combination of love, truck stop gasoline, and the need to make it to the next show on time. For an album that often pays homage to Jet’s DIY past, though, The Country also finds him teaming up with Dwight Yoakam’s touring band, whose members add Telecaster twang and Cali-country cool to Jet’s raw, ragged edges. Paul Cauthen, Cody Jinks, and Elizabeth Cook all lend a hand, too, duetting with Jet on their respective tracks while also teaming up for an all-hands-on-deck version of “Pancho and Lefty.” Additional guests include longtime Willie Nelson bandmate Mickey Raphael who lends harmonica as well as Lady Gaga bandleader Brian Newman on trumpet.

While The Country may be stocked with star power from the alt-country fringes, it’s Tennessee Jet who shines the brightest. A lifelong explorer who literally grew up on the road, he writes about love, loss, legends, and the pursuit of the muse in a voice that’s at once worldly and distinctly Oklahoman, peppering his lyrics with references to other literary heroes who, like him, shine at showcasing a sense of place: Faulkner, Shakespeare, Kerouac, and Woody Guthrie. Co-produced by the songwriter himself, The Country finds Tennessee Jet occupying his own sort of artistic crossroads, planting one boot in the nostalgic sounds of his past while pointing the other in a direction of his own making. This is his version of country music — a sound that, in Jet’s hands, becomes both fresh and familiar.

ABOUT CHAD FREEMAN & REDLINE

Chad Freeman & Redline, established on March 13, 2009, swiftly cultivated a unique sound that resonated locally and beyond. Starting with grassroots performances, they soon became fixtures on the Las Vegas Strip, entertaining crowds at events like PBR and NFR. Their journey expanded to include prestigious stages such as NASCAR, the Super Bowl, and CMA Fest, as well as numerous festivals, special events, and weddings.

Chad Freeman’s talent propelled him to international tours, gracing stages across Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Poland, Canada, Mexico, Chile, France, Switzerland, and beyond. As they celebrated their 10-year anniversary in 2019, Redline’s lineup remains as robust as ever, eagerly anticipating a future filled with performances on diverse stages worldwide.

ABOUT PRESLEY & TAYLOR

Presley & Taylor are a dynamic country duo that has taken the music industry by storm with their undeniable talent, captivating performances, and heartfelt songwriting. Hailing from Connecticut, these two sisters have quickly made a name for themselves in the country music scene, earning a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim along the way. With three previous singles, “22 Red Flags,” “Don’t Even Know Your Mama,” and “Everybody Sees It,” Presley & Taylor have made a significant impact on streaming platforms, amassing well over 5 million streams across all platforms. Their music has been featured on some of the biggest Spotify editorial playlists, including New Boots, Wild Country, Breakout Country, and more.

Presley & Taylor’s debut EP, “Limited Edition (Side A),” has been a game-changer for the duo. Produced by Jimmy Ritchey and featuring some of Nashville’s best talent as musicians, co-writers and collaborators, the EP has quickly gained traction in the music industry. With over half a million streams in the first month and placements on highly coveted editorial playlists like New Music Friday Country, Next From Nashville, Fresh Finds Country, and Young Nashville on Spotify, as well as Country Pop and Country Waves on Tidal, and Apple Music’s New In Country playlist, the EP has solidified Presley & Taylor’s place as true artists and songwriters in the country music scene. The music videos accompanying the EP have also been a hit, earning the duo an additional fan-voted #1 on the CMT 12-Pack Countdown.

Presley & Taylor’s talent and hard work have led them to share the stage with some of country music’s biggest names. They have opened for renowned artists such as Old Dominion, Gary Allan, Martina McBride, Sammy Kershaw, Tracy Byrd, and more, showcasing their ability to hold their own among country music’s elite.

ABOUT GRAHAM BARHAM

Graham Barham, originally from the quiet Louisiana village of Oak Ridge with just 124 residents, brings a distinctive Southern charm to his music. His songs paint vivid pictures of small-town life—moss-draped ponds, pickup trucks, and winding country roads are recurring motifs woven into his soulful lyrics. Despite his rural upbringing, Barham’s music transcends geographical boundaries, resonating deeply with audiences far beyond his hometown.

At 24, Barham’s journey to musical prominence began early, inspired by legends like George Strait and fueled by a knack for crafting catchy melodies honed during his formative years. His path to Nashville saw him evolve from singing in church as a child to penning heartfelt tunes that blend the raw honesty of country with the immediacy of pop influences. His breakout single, “Preachers Need People,” released in 2022, catapulted him into viral fame, showcasing his ability to infuse everyday stories with profound emotional depth.

Raised on a farm by a farmer father and a schoolteacher mother, Barham’s music reflects his blue-collar roots and an innate understanding of life’s highs and lows. His move to Nashville at 18 marked a turning point, where he immersed himself in songwriting, collaborating across genres and refining his unique brand of country music—authentic, heartfelt, and rich with personal narrative.

Produced largely by Will Bundy, whose credits include Keith Urban and Jason Aldean, Barham’s debut album on Virgin Records promises a collection of songs that capture the complexities of life’s journey. Tracks like “BREAK IT IN A BAR” and “TWO BROKE HEARTS” showcase his emotive vocals and incisive storytelling, while “Beer By My Bed” delves into moments of introspection and regret with unflinching honesty.

Looking ahead, Barham remains committed to crafting music that resonates on a soul-deep level, offering listeners a cathartic experience through his lyrics. Whether reflecting on personal growth, relationships, or the joy of a night out, his songs invite listeners to connect with their own stories. With each performance, Graham Barham continues to define his place in the world of country music, driven by a passion for authenticity and a desire to touch hearts with every verse.

“‘Suffocate City’ speaks to our listeners’ sense of fear,” says vocalist LEE JENNINGS. “The fear of being stuck in a dead-end job, a dead-end relationship, or a dead-end financial situation. The fear of ‘never getting out’ is a ubiquitous experience that anyone can connect and relate to.”

ROSS VALORY today (June 20) marks the summer solstice by rolling out a dazzling video for his interpretation of funk-rockers War’s classic cruising anthem “Low Rider.” It’s one of the highlights from the original Journey bassist and songwriter’s current debut solo album ALL OF THE ABOVE (OID Music). Watch the video HERE.

“Low Rider” is another visually colorful delight directed by Michael Cotten, who lensed the album’s three other videos. It was premiered yesterday by Ultimate Classic Rock.

Says ROSS: “Michael Cotten has done exceptional work on the videos for every song on the album. It may be obvious to all that he is greatly inspired by my music. Michael and I are naturally in sync. Michael hears what I see. He sees what I hear. And, likewise! “With the exception of a few strategic edits recommended on my part,” he adds, “Michael Cotten ran with the ball on this song from the beginning.”

Cotten outlines how he envisioned the video: “We could say that this visual treatment of the classic song is an homage to the great tradition of Mexican/American car culture. We wanted to heighten the brilliant baroque sensibility that Lowrider cars and bikes display!”

“Low Rider” gets a sturdy makeover as ROSS is joined by Josh Ramos of the Storm providing the proper Puerto Rican vocals. Hall of Famer Gregg Errico of Sly and the Family Stone handles drums, with additional percussion by Karl Perazzo from Carlos Santana’s band. Canadian reality TV star Les Stroud, the original “Survivorman,” an old friend of Valory’s, adds harmonica, and Marc Russo ties everything together on soprano sax, which by the end of the track, turns into a party. The other players lighting up “Low Rider” are Eric Levy (ogan, clavinet, synth) and guitarist Vernon “Ice” Black.

What was ROSS’ inspiration to cover “Low Rider”? “As I had just completed the basic tracks, in 2018, for the first cover tune, “Incident at Neshabur/Senior Blue,” I said to the boys that there was one more cool cover tune that I had always wanted to do. They all said, ‘let’s do it.’”

“I first arranged the session by inviting Greg Errico, who was the perfect drummer for the song,” ROSS continues. “Les ‘Survivorman’ Stroud, who recorded the harp, just happened to be passing through town. I brought in guitarist Josh Ramos, who has the perfect voice for this song, to cut the vocal tracks. The basic tracks were completed with Vernon ‘Ice’ Black, who brought the perfect touch for such a tune. The overdubs were completed by veterans Marc Russo, on saxes, and Karl Perazzo on percussion. The whole recording experience was fast and easy, as a song like ‘Low Rider’ should be!

“Low Rider” marks the fourth video and track from the debut album from one of rock’s best bass guitarists and an original member of the multi-platinum band Journey. It follows the album’s three previous videos which Cotten created for Tomland (the album’s hypnotic first single), Wild Kingdom (with its Latin-fired intensity), and Windmill” (defined by its Brazilian flair).

ALL OF THE ABOVE was produced by VALORY and co-produced by Eric Levy and Jacob Stowe. The nine tracks on the album represent the full maturity of VALORY’s musical gifts, cutting a broad swath through the instrumental territory the music travels. He plays keyboards, guitar, and, of course, many basses in a display of cultivated virtuosity across a palette far broader than could be found in his work with Journey. He is stepping out from behind his bass and, for the first time in his more than half-century as a professional musician, representing his vision and his compositions.

VALORY left Journey in 2020 and the band members worked out their issues in a peaceful mediated settlement. VALORY, who spent most of his life as a member of Journey, has no regrets. He counts his blessings at having spent an amazing career with a remarkable group of musicians who succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
