ABOUT JOSH ROSS

Echoing the primary themes of country in his pop-rock-infused way, Josh Ross’s take on love, work, and play is often documented through his whirlwind experiences. From moving to Nashville, the night of a tornado, leaving only a month later when a global pandemic arrived, to developing an ever-evolving career amidst the drawbacks of injuries, lockdowns, and conflicting relationships, Josh Ross is a country artist bound by the act of forging past and overcoming restraints.

“There is something to be said about when your heart is really in the right place to sing something… As an artist, I want the listener and me to go back to a song and remember our exact experiences around it, to encourage connection in all forms,” Josh said. The need for that musical connection began growing up in Burlington, Ontario’s suburbia. Overhearing his parents sing along to Guns N Roses and Bruce Springsteen in their kitchen while he ran around the house pretending to play guitar. Learning in those early years what music was, he found himself writing words in his notebook that, at the time, he didn’t realize were poems and lyrics. Onwards through school, he focused on sports like motocross and football, eventually encountering the injuries that came with each game.

Following several football-related injuries at Ontario’s Western University, the isolation that came from the injuries allowed Josh some time to develop his relationship with music. Taking nearly empty shuttle buses to get to school due to the cast on his leg, learning how to play guitar in his dorm, and on a few noise-complaint occasions bringing two speakers and a subwoofer into the bathroom to belt songs, Josh eventually made the shift of not just listening to music but making his own.

“I had a lot of catching up to do,” Josh said on his first few years immersing himself in the music industry. From practicing in his dorm to playing his first live show at the Boots & Hearts Emerging Artist Showcase in front of 5,000 people, Josh stated that “I used to throw up before the football games because of the anxiety, which is probably why I threw up before that show.” While the pressure to succeed in his sports days poured over into his music career, the drive to achieve inspired him to connect with various songwriters and musicians, eventually leading him to Nashville. In conflict with choosing a stable job post-university or setting his sights on the music industry, Josh Ross’s passions, and talent, pushed him to the path of Nashville, where he further began developing his sound and artistry. From 2019 onwards, Josh Ross dove head-first into his music career as an artist with sonic elements in his music, nodding to raw country, soft rock, and hints of 80s pop-rock.

ABOUT JOE PETERS

Joe Peters was born in the Country Music Capital of the West, Bakersfield, California. In his youth and early 20s, Joe could be found competing in rodeos, team roping, as well as working on the family ranch, playing his guitar, and singing. At age 8 he received his first guitar and started playing along to some of his favorite artists, including Waylon Jennings, George strait and Merle Haggard. That same year, Joe competed in and won his first rodeo. As Joe grew in stature to 6’5” in his teenage years, he switched his focus from riding rough stock to team roping. During this time Joe began to further hone his craft of singing, playing the guitar and songwriting, playing for anyone who would listen on the rodeo grounds after competitions. Joe was finding success roping regionally, traveling across the West, until a catastrophic accident, when his horse rolled over on him while preparing for competition.

With a long recovery ahead, Joe dug deeper into his music. After writing his first song, he recorded it at American Sound Recording Studio, which has now become the Bakersfield Music Hall of Fame. Also, during that time, Joe found a new friend, Justin Pensinger, a fellow roper. Pensinger got Joe back in the saddle and helped him through his recovery and regain his skills, until eventually they became best friends, as well as team roping partners, and soon they were back out on the road. In 2013, the pair qualified for the American Cowboy Team Roping Association (ACTRA) National Finals. As the two were traveling all around the region, Joe would find every open mic night he could along the way. Joe said in a recent interview “The music bug had really gotten under my skin at that point, and that’s all I wanted to do was play, sing, travel and rope!” Then, out of nowhere, another tragedy struck that brought everything to an abrupt ending when Joe’s best friend and roping partner died in an accident in 2015. Joe sold his horse and walked away from everything he had loved and began working the family business.

ABOUT ALEXANDRA KAY

Alexandra Kay kindles a profound connection with listeners through her heartfelt melodies, evocative storytelling, and beautifully captivating voice. Born and raised in Waterloo, Illinois, Alexandra found her voice as a teen, using songwriting as a vessel for self-expression and self-discovery while living in a small Midwest town.

After two failed major record deals, and a starring role in a Netflix Original series, Alexandra took it upon herself to build the music career she envisioned. She hasn’t looked back since. Since then, she’s been cementing her status as an independent force in the industry by sharing her music and life online, amassing over 6+ million followers on social media which has led to over 100+ million streams between Apple and Spotify alone.

Alexandra has graced the stage and collaborated with industry titans like Tim McGraw, Jo Dee Messina, Randy Travis, Tracy Lawrence, Gary LeVox, and Scott Stapp.

ABOUT RANDALL KING’S TONK VEGAS FEATURING RANDALL KING, CLINT DANIELS, KYLIE FREY, WYNN WILLIAMS, MAE ESTES, AND JAKE JACOBSON

Randall King – One of country music’s new crop of modern traditionalists, Warner Music Nashville artist Randall King grew up on the endless plains of West Texas – and his sound is steeped in their timeless beauty, both gritty and graceful at the same time. He grew up singing in the back of a ‘93 Chevy Suburban, mimicking the pure-country vocals of stars like Keith Whitley, George Strait, Alan Jackson, and John Anderson and over the years became drawn to the electrifying energy of modern stars like Eric Church, Dierks Bentley and Jason Aldean.

Clint Daniels – Daniels has co-written songs for dozens of country artists including the hit “Brokenheartsville” by Joe Nichols, “Ready For The End Of The World” by George Strait and “Roll With Me” by Montgomery Gentry, as well as Brooks & Dunn’s 2008 “God Must Be Busy” and Easton Corbin’s single, “I Can’t Love You Back,“ and Eric Church’s “Some Of It.”

Kylie Frey – Born and raised as country as it gets, Frey is a third-generation rodeo girl and Louisiana state goat-tying champion – and a rising star as genuine as her Wranglers. Sincere in her convictions and too real to dismiss, even for ardent country haters, her sound both typifies and transcends the genre.

Wynn Williams –
Country music is more than just a cowboy hat and boots. It’s standing by your word, honoring a handshake, and working hard. Country music is not about where you’re from or what you wear; it’s about how you live, and Wynn Williams lives country music. This former rodeo cowboy is the kind of entertainer that puts his fans and his show first – always engaging with his audience before, during and after he’s on the stage. His contagious smile and well-known, genuine kindness are only a few of the many things that put Wynn in the arena with those legendary artists that carry around the mantra of having “the whole package.”

Mae Estes – In 1999, 7-year-old Mae Estes walked into the middle of a southwest Arkansas rodeo show arena with a cordless microphone and sang the national anthem a cappella for the first time, claiming she could do it better than the LeAnn Rimes recorded version the venue typically played. Mae went on to perform at every rodeo she competed in, as well as other sporting events, nearby hayrides, and opries.

Jake Jacobson – Jake Jacobson is a 25-year-old “throwback kid” from the mountains. Country music has been in his blood since the beginning. Watching his dad’s honkytonk band in the late 90’s and early 2000’s inspired a career in music for Jake.

ABOUT JEREMY MCCOMB

Good things come to those who wait, but luck favors the bold. And for Jeremy McComb, the balance comes naturally. A storyteller epitomizing “been there and done that,” McComb has explored nearly every facet of the entertainment industry, all on his own terms. From radio to tour managing, releasing five albums, growing an international fan base, hitting the Billboard charts, and writing songs for projects selling over 6 million copies … including a Grammy-nominated soundtrack (Blue Collar Comedy Tour – One for the Road).

Proudly and fiercely independent in both spirit and style, Jeremy was born in Idaho as a sixth-generation musician. Music is in McComb’s DNA but he’s a distinct branch on the family tree. Obsessed with artists who share a gift for storytelling (and little else), he found inspiration in everything from Jim Croce to Tom Petty, and now bridges the canyons between country, rock, and folk. McComb discovered a revelation during the last eighteen months of uncertainty and the effects of it became an influence for the songwriter. Like the rest of us, the constant state of chaos and complications led him to look back to a time when things were simpler. Which led to his latest project, aptly titled, The Way Back. For a performer used to touring 140+ days a year in perpetual motion, The past few years were a challenge. But he rose to that challenge, finding solace in the silence and assembling an album in the process that perfectly captures the angst, frustration, and the joyous release we all felt returning to normal life, our loved ones, and the things that bring us happiness.

ABOUT CODY HIBBARD

Good luck keeping up with Cody Hibbard. The Adair, Oklahoma native grew up running and working on the family farm with dreams that spread across the horizon.

Music was always a love for Cody but wouldn’t be the passion until well after high school. Cody attended the United States Naval Academy where injuries would bring him to a different part of his life, Pipelining. Working consistently and constantly running the roads brought new light to the small-town kid, which would lead him to picking up a guitar around the campgrounds and start finding the love to sing around his fellow blue-collar workers.

HEATHER ANNE LOMAX Shares Music Video for “Mama’s Sleepin'” starring actor Todd Lowe (“Gilmore Girls,” “True Blood”) In Advance of 11/28 LA Record Release Show at Troubadour

SHARES MUSIC VIDEO FOR CATHARTIC SINGLE
“MAMA’S SLEEPIN’”

TAKEN FROM THE
AMERICANA/COUNTRY ROCK SINGER-SONGWRITER’S NEW ALBUM
‘THE DOMAN TRACKS’ (BLACKBIRD RECORD LABEL)
IN ADVANCE OF LOS ANGELES RECORD RELEASE SHOW
TOMORROW, NOVEMBER 29, AT THE TROUBADOUR

CINEMATIC MUSIC VIDEO STARS ACTOR
TODD LOWE (GILMORE GIRLS, TRUE BLOOD)
WATCH IT HERE

HEATHER ANNE LOMAX – “Mama’s Sleepin’” Official Music Video

Los Angeles-based Americana/Country-rock singer-songwriter HEATHER ANNE LOMAX has shared a cinematic music video for her empowering single “Mama’s Sleepin’” from her debut album THE DOMAN TRACKS (Blackbird Record Label) released earlier this month. Watch the “Mama’s Sleepin’” music video, filmed in Los Angeles and directed by Taylor Hungerford, directly above or via YouTube HERE.

The video stars actor Todd Lowe (“Gilmore Girls,” ”True Blood”) and was premiered yesterday (November 27) via Americana Highways which noted: “This song tackles the harsh reality of having no choice but to live under the authority of a harsh adult head on. [The lyric] ‘Leave us kids alone, don’t you holler while my Mama’s sleepin’’ is strong, direct, and heavy hitting. Lomax has an authority of her own that comes across loud and clear here in her vocals and in the music; it’s cathartic and empowering.”

HEATHER ANNE says “‘Mama’s Sleepin’” is “a cathartic fuck-you to my adoptive dad, who was abusive verbally, and physically sometimes.”

HEATHER ANNE will celebrate the release of THE DOMAN TRACKS with a special record release show tomorrow, November 29, in Los Angeles, CA at the Troubadour with special guests Manda Mosher and Abby Posner (who are also part of Blackbird Record Label). Actor TODD LOWE will be in attendance, giving out some of the signed headshots that were used in the filming of the “Mama’s Sleepin’” video to random attendees. Tickets for the show are still available HERE.

THE DOMAN TRACKS consists of eight collaborative songs recorded with the late Michael Doman, formerly the singer-songwriter-producer of the noted ‘80s L.A. rock band Broken Homes. The pair cut the intimate material during two years of recording sessions, and they were set aside until HEATHER revisited them following DOMAN’s untimely death from a brain ailment in December of 2020. With LOMAX on lead vocals and guitar, Doman sang duet and added background vocals and the pair enlisted guitarist JEFF SEBENS in addition to support from various other local players to record the tracks live. The album’s engineer JASON HILLER added bass parts later. Stream/download THE DOMAN TRACKS digitally or grab a copy on CD here: https://smithmusic.ffm.to/662582993226.

21st century rock vanguards FROM ASHES TO NEW kick off the holiday season with a new music video for their spirited rock cover of Mariah Carey’s iconic holiday staple “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” It’s out today, November 20, via Better Noise Music’s YouTube channel. The energetic cover, originally released last December, was lauded by ABC Audio for its “big guitars and screaming vocals” and was a quick hit with fans garnering viral attention on TikTok with nearly 1 million views and 100k likes. Watch it streaming below or HERE.

“We always thought it would be sick to do a Christmas song and what better than Mariah Carey’s iconic ‘All I Want For a Christmas Is You,’ says FROM ASHES TO NEW vocalist Matt Brandyberry. “We wanted to see what the world would think of a minor feel to a major song but weren’t expecting to hear that Mariah herself loved the track!”

FROM ASHES TO NEW will hit the road tomorrow, November 21, on their headlining tour “The Blackout Tour Pt. 1” in Portland, ME at State Theatre, with support from The Word Alive, Catch Your Breath, and Ekoh. See the full dates here or listed below. For this 20-date trek, the band will perform songs from their critically acclaimed breakthrough concept album BLACKOUT released this past July via Better Noise Music. The album debuted with seven #1 iTunes Metal albums chartings and four #1 iTunes Rock albums placements including four dual #1’s globally. It also garnered the band two Top 10-charting rock radio singles: “Hate Me Too,” which peaked at #8 on Mediabase charts, and their latest anthemic single “Nightmare,” currently at #6.  Stream and/or download BLACKOUT or grab a physical copy on CD, vinyl or cassette at https://fatn.ffm.to/blackoutalbum.

“‘Blackout’ is the perfect music for any occasion. It knows how to invoke a myriad of feelings and sensations and is heavy without overpowering. The vocals enmesh rap with guttural screams and still know how to retain a deep, intrinsic melody.”
MXDWN (August 2023)

“‘Blackout’ unquestionably deserves its perfect 10/10 rating. Its brilliance isn’t solely due to its intelligent and engaging lyrics that practically compel you to sing along; it’s an album that demands multiple listens. From Ashes to New has struck a musical goldmine with this release.”
Top Shelf Music Magazine (August 2023)

MICKEY THOMAS To Release “A Classic Christmas” Digital Two-Sided Single 12/1

DATE: NOVEMBER 16, 2023

FROM: MITCH SCHNEIDER/ANDREA FAULK

MICKEY THOMAS
TO RELEASE
“A CLASSIC CHRISTMAS”
DIGITAL TWO-SIDED SINGLE
ON DECEMBER 1
FEATURING
“HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS” AND
“IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR”

PRE-SAVE “A CLASSIC CHRISTMAS” HERE


“A Classic Christmas” Cover Art

“I think most of us have happy memories of Christmas and other holidays. Hearing holiday songs that are ingrained in your memory can engage your mind in a way that creates a roadblock for thoughts that cause us pain and stress. Holiday songs and music in general can provide a respite from the turmoil in the world. I believe that music, more than anything, can help us find a common denominator amid all the polarization that poisons our minds and souls. So with that in mind, I want to wish everyone happy holidays!”
MICKEY THOMAS, 2023

MICKEY THOMAS of STARSHIP is one of rock’s most recognizable vocalists. His deeply soulful and soaring voice has powered an array of massive hits, starting with “Fooled Around And Fell In Love” with The Elvin Bishop Band in 1976, followed by “Jane,” “No Way Out,” “Find Your Way Back,” “Stranger,” and “Layin’ It on the Line” with Jefferson Starship, and then three #1 hits—“We Built This City,” “Sara,” and “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now”—with STARSHIP. On December 1, MICKEY will release “A Classic Christmas,” a two-sided single (available digitally only, via Symphonic Distribution) on which he distinctively lights up such holiday gems as “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” Pre-save “A Classic Christmas” HERE.

Having recorded only one Christmas song before—a bluesy/gospel version of “Silent Night” with the Elvin Bishop Band in 1976—MICKEY says, “I love traditional Christmas songs because most of them were written by fantastic old school writers. They all have a terrific sense for melody and usually have very creative rhyme schemes.”

He adds: “In general, I prefer Christmas songs that are pensive and reflective. I love the ones that transport me into a warm nostalgia—the ones that express deeply personal feelings as opposed to religious themes. ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’ is a perfect example. It’s somewhat melancholy yet hopeful at the same time. I always imagine Judy Garland in the window singing it to her little sister in the hope of cheering her up.

“I then tried to balance the pensive nature of ‘Have Yourself…’ by pivoting to another classic (‘It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year’) that is truly a celebration of all things Christmas. Parties, singing carols, sledding, roasting marshmallows, social gaiety, reminiscing about past Christmases. It also gives me a chance to channel my inner crooner????.”

Both songs were produced, mixed, and engineered by Dan Frizsell and recorded in East Iris Studios in Nashville with John Willis (guitars), David Dorn (keys), Mark Hill (bass), and Evan Hutchings (Drums). “The recording session was a fantastic experience and worked like a charm,” says MICKEY. “Dan Frizsell assembled an incredible group of players—some of the best studio musicians in Nashville. They were not only musical virtuosos but also funny as hell. I love the experience of walking into a studio and diving into the process with people you’ve never met or worked with. The chemistry was spot on from the get-go and we all had a blast recording the songs.”

About Mickey Thomas and STARSHIP:

Mickey Thomas is the owner of the soaring voice that propelled STARSHIP through the decade of the 80’s. With his soulful and compelling vocals, Mickey has established himself as one of Rock Music’s most recognizable stars.

Mickey made his mark in 1976 as lead vocalist on the mega-hit “Fooled Around And Fell In Love” with The Elvin Bishop Band. In 1979, Mickey joined Jefferson Starship as the lead vocalist, after the departure of Grace Slick and Marty Balin, and recorded a string of hits including “Jane”, “No Way Out”, “Find Your Way Back”, “Stranger”, and “Layin’ It on the Line”.

The group was renamed STARSHIP in 1985 and went on to record three #1 hit songs including “We Built This City”, “Sara”, and “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now”, from the film, Mannequin, which also was an Academy Award nominee. Their hit “It’s Not Over ‘Til It’s Over” became Major League Baseball’s theme in 1987. Mickey’s stellar voice and video charisma on STARSHIP’s video classics such as “We Built This City” and “Sara” became staples on MTV and VH1.
