Braeden  Rountree, William Morris Endeavors Entertainment, Nashville

Texas country duo SmithField has taken Nashville by storm with their depthful  songwriting and soaring harmonies.  I am thrilled to be working with this magnetic pair.  They have been hard at work writing new material for an upcoming  effort with some of the most influential writers, publishing companies and entertainment groups in Nashville.  Great tunes, and good fortune has certainly granted them favor in this town, and their momentum is far from slowing down!

CMT premiered both "Lie Awake" and "Holiday" music videos.  Check them out at CMT HERE.

Folk artist and songwriter Angel Snow recently played a show at the Loveless Barn for Music City Roots.   Hearing her sing the original version of "Lie Awake," one of many cuts Angel had on Alison Krauss and Union Station's Grammy Award winning album "Paper Airplane," was surreal.  Her lyrics are fabulous, and her voice captivates the listener.  Angel has released a new solo album and just finished a tour with one of my absolute favorite singer/songwriters, Mindy Smith. She's still out on the road. She was featured at the Americana Music Fest along with Alison Krauss & Jerry Douglas. Find out when she'll be coming to your town HERE at her webpage.

Jordyn Yarker Releases "AYO Rockstar" Video

Australian fenom Jordyn Yarker is a force! Inspired by a mission trip to Thailand &  Cambodia that she and her family embarked on in 2011, she started writing her own material and melodies. In it, she put to lyrics the emotional images she encountered with themes of love, loss, and hope, in the powerful, “I’ll Never Walk Away From You.” She then opened up the American songbook and culled new tunes from massive songwriters like Makeba Riddick (Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez,  Beyonce) and Chris DeStefano (Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood), then headed to  the United States to record the songs that would make up “Sing."   She recently finished traveling around the USA on her "American Holiday" tour and is keeping busy filming for "Rise of the Underdog," a feature film in Australia.  She is also going to be in the National Billabong Summer Kids & Teens Catalogue.
