ABOUT KELSEY HART

Born and raised in western Kentucky, Kelsey was never far away from the influence of the Nashville country music community. At 19, he landed his first gig as the lead singer of a local country band where he cut his teeth on the icons of the genre and began cultivating his own unique sound and passion for the craft of country songwriting. Following his move to music city, Kelsey found his first co-writing success in November 2017 with “As Long As You’re In It” recorded by Jake Owen for his Greatest Hits collection. In 2021 He landed a cut on Trace Adkins Album “Live It Lonely” as one of the newest members of the Curb | Word songwriting family, Kelsey has quickly established himself as a sought-after co-writer, vocalist, and artist on the rise.

ABOUT MIKE RYAN

Singer-songwriter Mike Ryan has achieved impressive accolades in just under 10 years, building a career independently that’s not only earned the devotion of fans, but the respect of other artists and notables in the music industry. Mike Ryan is just that caliber of talent. His gift as a songwriter has led to collaborations with such major label acts as Brad Paisley and Brandy Clark, and he has opened for some of the biggest names in the business, including Miranda Lambert, Hardy and Morgan Wallen, in addition to selling out his own headlining gigs. At times, even selling more tickets than major label acts with top ten singles. It’s a coup he’s managed to pull off thanks to hard work and undeniable talent. Ryan co-wrote Paisley’s Top 20 “Last Time For Everything,” and his songs have garnered over 265 million streams with 10 of them earning over ten million streams, 19 of them earning more than four million streams and 27 of them earning more than one million streams.

ABOUT DREW GREEN

With his genre-bending country, pop, and R&B style, Nashville singer Drew Green first garnered attention as a songwriter before catching the spotlight with his 2020 tracks “Little More Be Alright’ and “Right Where I Be.” Both cuts appeared on his debut EP, Dirt Boy, Vol. 1. His 2021 follow-up, Dirt Boy, Vol. 2, included the streaming hit “Hooch.” The soulful standalone single “Good Ol’ Man” arrived in early 2022.

Born in McMinnville, Tennessee, Green grew up on a tree farm where his family introduced him to country artists like Sammy Kershaw and Alan Jackson. During his teens he began expanding his ears as friends exposed him to a mix of hip-hop, pop, and R&B performers, including Usher, Craig David, Matchbox Twenty, and Dr. Dre. He played in bands in high school and continued to hone his songwriting skills at college. Following his graduation, Green based himself in Nashville, singing in the house band at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and working a day job at a bank, all the while pursuing a songwriting career.

He eventually gained a foothold in the industry, co-penning songs like Florida Georgia Line’s “Colorado” with Hardy and Hunter Phelps. In November 2018, he signed a publishing contract with Brett James’ Cornman Music. More opportunities followed and in June 2020, Green signed a recording contract with Villa 40/Sony Music Nashville, debuting that same month with the song “Little More Be Alright.”

A second song, “Right Where I Be,” followed a month later, with both tracks appearing on the EP Dirt Boy, Vol. 1. 2021 saw the release of the twangy single “Hooch,” ahead of the arrival of Dirt Boy, Vol. 2. Green started out strong in early 2022 with the country-pop and R&B-leaning viral hit “Good Ol’ Man.” ~ Matt Collar

In 2023, Drew has spent the year writing, recording, and releasing songs “Prayer List,” “Yep,” and “Best Ex I Ever Had” whilst playing shows across the U.S. He’s gearing up to release his next single “Lotta Bit Of You,” after the song hit virality on TikTok.

ABOUT RVSHVD

RVSHVD (pronounced RA-SHAD) is a twenty-six-year-old country singer-songwriter hailing from the small town of Willacoochee, Georgia (population 1,200). As a teenager he was into hip hop and making beats, but his world turned upside down when he heard “Sweet Thing” by Keith Urban. Soon he discovered the music of Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, George Strait, Alan Jackson, and Brooks & Dunn; all of whom he credits with influencing his love of country music. He immediately found writing songs in the country vein to be more personal and rewarding, saying, “I can be myself in country music, talking about the real things I do and feel without trying to be a persona you need to be successful in hip-hop or other genres.”

With the help of his signature vocal tone and a bare bones home studio, RVSHVD hit the jackpot on his country version of Roddy Ricch’s “Ballin.” The song went viral on Spotify, TikTok, Apple and YouTube amassing over 25M streams and lifting his catalog of songs to over 125M streams. A preview of his recent single, “Shoebox Money,” struck a national conversation racking up 15M plays, 1M likes, and 450K+ shares on Instagram Reels alone, a testament to his unique position in the country music lexicon.

Gifted and prolific, RVSHVD’s songs cover a wide variety of topics, from his love of the gentle, inclusive urban life in “Small Town Talk,” to battling anxiety in “Deal With the Devil (ft. Danny Worsnop).” Along the way, RVSHVD has earned praise from Billboard who named him Country Rookie of the Month, applauding that he “…has carefully curated his own genre-bending sound.” CMT has dubbed him as one of their “Artist To Watch 2024.”

Live, RVSHVD has played Nissan Stadium during CMA Fest, debuted at the Grand Ole Opry and done dates with Dwight Yoakam. He’s set to play Stagecoach Festival, Golden Sky Festival, and CMA Fest again this year. RVSHVD will be releasing an EP The Intro and his debut full length album later this year.

RVSHVD is signed to The Penthouse South / Sumerian Records label, EMPIRE for publishing and CAA for touring.

ABOUT JASON CROSS

Jason Cross is a big personality with an “against the grain” mentality. In 2020, Cross made the move from Jackson, Michigan to Nashville, Tennessee and quickly developed a name for himself in Music City. Jason found his love for music at a young age. Growing up on Guns N’ Roses, Alice In Chains, Metallica, The Eagles, and numerous other rock bands, it’s safe to say he’s got some rock n’ roll roots. Also consuming a good bit of country in his youth would make for the perfect blend of the two. Cross would describe his sound to be somewhere in the ballpark with Jason Aldean, Randy Houser, and Luke Combs, with influence from Chris Stapleton and Whiskey Myers to Mötley Crüe and other bands from the metal genre. In March 2021, Cross released his debut single “It Ain’t Me” that became a fan favorite and has been writing and releasing new music since. Jason Cross knows how to be vulnerable with his music but also knows when it’s time for a high energy good time.

Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame 2022 inductee DAVID MALLOY, today (April 30,) shares “Mason’s Wallet,” the third single and video from his debut album MIRROR, released Friday, April 26 via Nashville-based indie label Creative People with distribution by CmfShft. The album is a moving journal of MALLOY’s life, his love and loss. Listen to the song HERE and watch the video HERE.

The artistic triumph of “Mason’s Wallet,” and its compelling and beautifully shot video, is how MALLOY makes the personal “universal.” It reminds all of us about how those we’ve lost can live on in our hearts and minds. The video was directed and edited by Andrew Rozario, with cinematographer, Mike Stryker for Casting Life Films, and Ian Buchanan, created visual effects for Ian B. Designs.

“Writing ‘Mason’s Wallet’ was the start of the body of work that has become this album, says MALLOY, relating the story leading up to his writing this song about the loss of his son. “My stepbrother’s friend is a very successful spirit medium in Tucson Az. We were all having dinner one-night, pre-Covid. My father, Jim Malloy, had just passed away a few months prior and she kept saying she wanted to do a free reading for me, and my father was asking her to do this. My dad had been my mentor and best pal my whole life, so I was not surprised that he would ask for this if you believe in afterlife connections. I never get readings of any kind because I don’t want someone’s words about me or my future to be planted in my head, but this one time I caved in and said ‘OK.’ He continues, ‘During this session with this medium, she said, ‘your son wants to talk to you and wants to know why you’ve stopped writing songs, and if you would start back writing that he wants to help you.’

“Flash forward three years post-Covid, my wife Kathy and I decided to move out of downtown and live by a golf course. I’ve been playing golf since the age of 10. I had heard that the artist Luke Bryan was also a member of the course, and I didn’t know much about him, so I decided to watch a three-part documentary about his life. I did not know that he had gone through the loss of his brother and shortly after that, he lost his sister. They were all very close and of course this hit Luke extremely hard. Watching him speak about this, I found closure after 18 years of inwardly grieving over the loss of my own son, Mason. ‘I put Mason’s wallet in my right front pocket 18 years ago.’ These words are the opening line of the song ‘Mason’s Wallet.’ I’ve listed Mason as my co-writer on the song and he’s been with me in spirit throughout this project. I felt I was driven/pushed to write and create this music. God bless you Mason David Malloy.”

MIRROR is producer and hit songwriter DAVID MALLOY’s debut endeavor as a recording artist. “Something in my spirit was driving me to write these songs and record them.” Malloy continues, “So why now? Answer is, I wasn’t ready. Sounds ridiculous looking at my track record through the years, but that’s how I’ve felt, like I was a late bloomer. God isn’t done with me, there’s still more for me to do. I’ve survived kidney cancer, the downtown Nashville Christmas bombing and the worst…. the soul-crushing loss of my only son, Mason. Now here I am with 14 new self-penned songs and an album, except for the lyrics of the second verse of an older song called “Vital Signs” that Kris Burgenes co-wrote. The album’s first single and official music video “I Play Gimme Shelter” was released January 11. Listen to the song HERE, watch the YouTube video HERE and read the press release HERE. The second single “A Brand New Day” was released March 13. Listen to the song HERE and watch the YouTube video HERE. Read the press release HERE.

Throughout his career, DAVID MALLOY has been lauded for his technique of “becoming” the artist he was writing for or producing, similar to an actor getting into character. Many agree that this was a key to his success. He is credited with creating the crossover-influenced sound of country music that defined the genre in the 80’s and 90’s. He’s produced artists Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Mindy McCready, Reba McEntire, Rodney Crowell, Rosanne Cash, J.D. Souther and more. As a songwriter, David Malloy was inducted into the 2022 Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame along with Shania Twain, Steve Wariner, Hillary Lindsey and Gary Nicholson and has co-penned numerous songs with Even Stevens and recording artist Eddie Rabbitt throughout Eddie’s career (whom MALLOY produced.) He has had his songs recorded by artists in multi-genres of music such as Badfinger, Bettye LaVette, Billy Burnette, Dr. Hook, Fleetwood Mac, Gregg Allman Band, Julianne Hough, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Tim McGraw, Roy Orbison and many more.

If you know Rita D’Albert—the visionary creator, promoter, and performer—then you’re aware that she creates events and experiences like no one else. And Miss Rita is pulling out every stop to ensure that the upcoming Miss Rita’s Lucha VaVOOM “Cinco Unchained” show goes off the rails in the best possible way. Watch a preview HERE.

It’s set to explode the night before Cinco De Mayo on Saturday, May 4 in Los Angeles at Don Quixote, located at 2811 E Olympic Blvd. Miss Rita promises to set everyone free with an unforgettable evening of Mexican masked wrestling and red-hot performances. She says to expect nothing less than “Anarchy in the 213”! The doors are at 8:00pm and the show is at 9:00pm (around two hours of pure madness), to be followed by a late-night dance party with DJ Your Muther.

Tickets for this not-to-be-missed event are on sale now, here. Ticket price/tiers include General Admission (Floor at $55) and General Admission (Mezzanine at $85).

“I wanted this first show to be a tribute to the East LA roots of Cinco de Mayo as a day of celebration,” says Miss Rita. “This is going back to our roots and acknowledging L.A. as the place where so much culture originates!” The evening will include mariachis, low riders, folklorico, minis, tamales, musica, mezcal, and tequila.

Miss Rita has much more to say, so listen up:

“The world is on fire and here we come with some MATCHES. LUCHA matches and Red HOT dancers and everything else we can throw into the fire.”
“I’m a notorious L.A. proponent. I love the culture and Los Angeles in particular is full of hidden treasures—well here’s a new one: DON QUIXOTE. If you’ve seen Lucha VaVOOM at the Mayan, it was wonderful., and we did it a lot. We pushed the boundaries of the venue and the audience. THIS YEAR, we are celebrating Cinco at a slightly more intimate venue with all kinds of places for performers to come out into the crowd & jump off balconies and just go wild. We want to play WITH you, not AT you!”
“Getting there is EASY, there is ample parking, FOOD, cocktails for the non-drivers in the crowd and we get to turn Don Quixote into a big fun dance party with all of us having fun together. Different venue, but the same crazy LVV madness you know and love!!”
“This Cinco we’re SHAKING IT UP and bringing the celebration back to where it all started… CINCO UNCHAINED with:

You were born here, it was a lean year, 1982
She was golden, unfolding, right in front of you
It’s been a long time, no sunshine when you’re on your own
A little blue-jay, in the mid-day calling you back home
–JEFF LARSON, “This Summer”

Veteran California singer-songwriter-guitarist JEFF LARSON paints a beautiful picture of eternal summer with “This Summer,” the second track and video from his melodically sparkling, CA-themed album ADOBE HOME out this Friday, April 26 on Nashville-based label Melody Place. Watch the serene and colorful video HERE and pre-order the album HERE.

The LARSON-written “This Summer” is a gorgeously produced upbeat summer song, with an irresistible melody and harmonies that honor the history of Southern California bands like the Beach Boys and America. In fact, Brian Eichelberger from the Beach Boys band, and America’s Gerry Beckley, join LARSON for the song’s shimmering harmonies. Plus, LARSON co-produced ADOBE HOME with Beckley who plays bass and organ on “This Summer.” And Brian Young—from another sunny-sounding band, Fountains of Wayne—is on drums.

“This Summer” was premiered by Rock And Roll Globe, which noted that “…this fantastic song no doubt alludes to the ebullience of a California that only comes from being a native of the land.” Read a Q&A below with LARSON about the song.

The 13-track ADOBE HOME is JEFF LARSON’s first solo full-length album in a decade. He solely wrote eight of the songs on ADOBE HOME, plus two with legendary songwriter Jack Tempchin (of the Eagles’ “Peaceful Easy Feeling” fame); one with Beckley, and one with Robert Lamm of Chicago (see the track listing below). It’s an album with subject matter that touches on people, places, and things with styles ranging from Americana, folk-rock, power pop, and some jazz elements. See the track listing below and read the album launch press release HERE. The album comes on the heels of IT’LL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, his acclaimed 2023 six-song tribute EP to the late iconic singer and songwriter Tim Hardin.

The album’s first single and video was “Something of A Dream,” premiered by Wildfire Music, which noted: “Coming from an album that takes inspiration from California, it’s not surprising that the lyric video for ‘Something of a Dream’ does fit very well with the colors and moods of Adobe Home. While lyric videos vary widely, the animated quality of this one does add considerably to the poetic feeling and imagery of the track, taking us into golden hour colors, terra cotta interiors, and out onto the desert highway, too. It’s a definite bonus to the experience of the song to see this flowing and inviting video alongside it.”

Here are the production credits for “This Summer”:

(Words & Music: Jeff Larson)
Jeff Larson: Lead Vocal, Backing Vocals, Electric Guitar
Gerry Beckley: Vocal, Bass, Organ
Brian Eichelberger: Backing Vocals
Jim Hoke: Celeste, Kalimba
Steve Fekete: Electric Slide Guitar
Brian Young: Drums and Percussion

Here’s a Q&A with LARSON about “This Summer.”

“This Summer” is a perfect summer song, with an irresistible melody and harmonies that honor the history of Southern California bands like the Beach Boys and America. Can you tell us about how the song was born?

I wrote and recorded the song as a personal soundtrack to the Summer of 2022. From what I recall, I was walking on the coast and talking into my phone with lyric and melody ideas from overhearing people visiting, reunions, and embracing surf, sun, and all the usual clichés. I also pulled from my own childhood with memories of riding bikes and just playing until the sun went down.

In fact, Brian Eichelberger from the Beach Boys band, and Beckley, join you for the song’s harmonies. Plus, you co-produced the album with Beckley. And Brian Young—from another sunny-sounding band, Fountains of Wayne—is on drums. It’s really the perfect DNA for a “summer” song. How did this all come together?

Yes, in the past when I wrote a song like this I would turn to my friend Jeffrey Foskett (Beach Boys, Brian Wilson), but that was not an option due to his health. I sang all the harmonies initially but it needed another voice besides mine in the mix. I reached out to Gerry (Beckley)and he also suggested Brian Eichelberger. That was a good call and it worked out perfectly for this song. Brian Young on drums was also essential in adding the energy it needed and taking it away from my initial throwback approach.

There is an undeniable wide-open optimism in the lyrics, and the song comes on like the perfect tonic for a troubled world. Can you describe your mindset when you were writing it?

I usually have some degree of melancholy in my lyrics (and voice), but for this song, it really was an exercise in trying to stay on message and relay a sense of fun and positivity. It’s a little rare in that other songs I have written in this vein usually have troubled verses and then resolve is found in the chorus. I initially didn’t take the song that seriously, but Gerry and some others liked it – so I followed through and it came alive. If it comes across as a good “feel” song, that’s great – mission accomplished.

What are your own thoughts about California—what has it always represented to you? Do you feel that is still the case?

Well, I am a native of the San Francisco Bay Area. This record (Adobe Home) is really just trying to focus on where I landed in the San Diego area and just making an audio statement around that. I would hate to say I am defined by a state or state of mind; I’m not, but I do love “the place” that is California. It is far more varied than most people see. There are plenty of issues, but that is true almost everywhere. I do know what it is to commute i traffic. I know the pace of technology intimately, having lived within it. I have raised a family here. All said, I am content with this place and still see it as inspiring.

ABOUT JEFF LARSON:

JEFF LARSON is a veteran singer-songwriter from the San Francisco Bay area. Musically, Jeff got his start under the wing of producer Elliot Mazer (Neil Young, The Band) playing in clubs and venues throughout the Bay area. As a native Californian, the influences are obviously present and reach from the golden era of L.A.’s Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter scene to the Bay area’s musical heritage and the tension between the two. While remaining a solo artist, he’s collaborated with Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell of America, Chicago’s Robert Lamm, John Blakeley of The Sandals, and Eagles songwriter Jack Tempchin, among others. His prolific body of work created over the years has been released by various means and labels with licensing opportunities with JVC Victor Japan, Universal / Rhino, BMG and others from The Netherlands to Japan. “Larson’s earnest vocals and unwaveringly engaging folk-rock-country songs have an alluring feel,” wrote the San Jose Mercury News in 2011 about his album The World Over. “Larson’s warm, wonderful songs will grab you immediately and just get better with each subsequent listening. Every one of the 10 numbers here proves to be an individual gem.”

“Stand for something or ya die for nothin…”
–“(Hold On) To The Dream”

Singer, songwriter, author, Broadway star, and actor SEBASTIAN BACH has released a video for “(Hold On) To The Dream,” the latest single from his forthcoming album CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN out May 10 on Reigning Phoenix Music. Watch the “(Hold On) To The Dream” video HERE. SEBASTIAN penned the lyrics for “(Hold On) To The Dream” and he and producer Elvis Baskette wrote the melody; music is by Devin Bronson, Isaac Capenter and Baskette.

“If someone asked me to play the heaviest song I have ever recorded, in my 35 year career, I would play them ‘(Hold On) To The Dream,’” SEBASTIAN says. “This song is an homage to two of my favorite things: classic METAL of the ’70s and also YACHT ROCK as well! Hence the new term YACHT METAL! I have never heard a song quite like ‘(Hold On)To The Dream’ where the crushing verse combined with the luxurious chest-hair harmonies of the chorus. I have tried to incorporate every tone of my voice into this song. For those of you keeping score, I can tell you that my voice hits some of the highest notes of my career in ‘(Hold On) To The Dream!’ HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS!!! CAUTION: this is a MONSTER JAM!”

CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN was recorded in Orlando, Florida; produced and mixed by 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. The album will be available on CD (Jewelcase), cassette and double LP in a variety of color options. Pre-save the album HERE. The album artwork holds special meaning since it was designed by BACH’s father, noted visual artist David Bierk. “This album artwork was started in 1978 and finished in 2024!” SEBASTIAN says.

For the headlining shows, TASH will be joined by support act soul, jazz, and R&B creative force Chiiild. Helmed by Yonatan Ayal, Chiiild crafts beautiful and thought-provoking hymns that transcend genres.

About Tash Sultana:

Since they broke through into the Australian music scene more than a decade ago, Tash Sultana has been nothing less than a musical force.

The gender-fluid multi-instrumentalist, producer, singer-songwriter, engineer and entrepreneur has carved out every step in their musical journey over the last 15 years, which has taken them from performing open night mics all over the country, busking the streets of Melbourne to releasing platinum records, accumulating billions of streams, nominations across the globe, to winning awards and selling hundreds of thousands of concert tickets worldwide.

Tash creates, composes, writes, engineers and produces everything that is heard live, and on record. Tash is the band. Their now-famous busking sessions on Melbourne’s Bourke Street catapulted them into the eyes and ears of music fans everywhere, and a viral video of their early song ‘Jungle’ brought them international attention. Since then, it’s been nothing but a meteoric rise.

Their debut album Flow State landed in 2018 and quickly became Gold certified, and spawned Platinum and Gold records with singles ‘Mystik’ and ‘Murder to the Mind’.

In 2019 alone, Tash sold more than 500,000 concert tickets globally, and over the years they’ve notched up major international appearances at festivals like Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, and Montreal Jazz Festival.

Acclaimed second record Terra Firma landed in 2021, and garnered widespread praise for Tash’s raw and reflective songwriting and ambitious musical arrangements. Like everything before it, the entirety of the record was carved by Tash – every instrument that was played, every bit of musical arrangement, every bit of production. But for the first time, Terra Firma saw Tash bring in a couple of close friends and collaborations to co-write – including Matt Corby, Dann Hume, Jerome Farah, and Josh Cashman.

Their extensive catalog has nearly broken the internet, having raked in billions of streams and counting.
