Montreal's Manny Blu is getting ready to release his new EP DEViL on August 20th. The project features five songs written by some of Nashville's best writers including Ryan Beaver, Jessi Alexander, JT Harding, Brinley Addington, Anthony Smith, Michael Hardy, Craig Wiseman, Aaron Eshuis, Joe Clemmons and Logan Wall. Featured on the album is the single "Valet" featuring fellow Montreal artist Brittany Kennel released in early July. “Valet” tells the story of a couple falling in love while experiencing some of the most cherished Nashville spots, romanticizing the place that Manny now calls home. While definitely one of the most traditional country-sounding songs found on DEViL, Manny continues to push his punk-inspired mentality forward by embracing the fact that an acoustic country ballad is the perfect, unexpected addition to the EP tracklist. Being a former hockey player & MMA fighter, Manny knows that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. So when Covid derailed live shows, he launched his own live performance series Live & Turned Up on his Official YouTube page. The series "Live & Turned Up" finds Manny performing a mix of original songs, fan favourites, and unexpected covers. Manny describes the new EP as “an ensemble of songs that have a variety of skill sets and sides of me as an artist that I haven't shown before, and is probably the most complete project I've released to date. I think DEViL has elements that call back to what I've released before and what I have coming next.” With the EP's singles "Train" and "Valet already released, Manny just dropped a third single, the weekend party anthem "Circle Up" featuring singer-songwriter Blaine Holcomb lending his vocal talents to it.
Perfecting his craft in Rocky Mountain ski lodges and Nashville’s Honky Tonks, Teddy Robb has a laid back voice that grabs you like the Colorado winter air and wraps you up in a blanket with someone you love next to a warm fire.A native of Akron, Ohio, Teddy grew up loving the outdoors. He fished, hiked, and played football through college at Kent State. It was during college when his passion turned to music the moment he heard George Strait’s “Troubadour”. That was it, the decision was made. He called his parents, packed his bags and hit the road. Teddy spent time in Vail playing music to support his snowboarding habit before making the final move to Nashville.Teddy’s debut track “Lead Me On,” was co-written with Ryan Beaver, Matt McGinn and Aaron Eshuis. His second offering, “Really Shouldn’t Drink Around You” was written by GRAMMY Award-winning songwriters Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, along with chart-topping songwriter and Old Dominion bandmember, Trevor Rosen. Teddy’s third track, “Tell Me How,” was co-written by Teddy, Blake Chaffin, Aaron Eshuis.Support the show (http://www.patreon.com/skiphappens)
A tractor cab might not seem like the ideal place for an aspiring artist to nurture her musical dreams, but it sure did the trick for Clare Dunn. Growing up in tiny Two Buttes, Colorado (population: 43), she spent days at a time helping plow and plant the family farm, sharpening her ears with uninterrupted music-listening in the driver’s seat, even as she strengthened her work ethic. “That’s where a lot of my creativity came from and where a lot of my vision was forged, was just having nothing else to do other than listen to music and dream all day long in the vast wide open of those plains,” she reflects. By the time the genial, grounded Great Plains native got the chance to record for MCA Nashville, she had fine-tuned her creative vision and was ready to do what it would take to make it a reality, which landed her in a truly unique position: she is the only female country artist in recent memory to have a hand in all of the writing, arranging and producing for her debut release, the Clare Dunn EP. “I remember feeling like, ‘I know that I’m asking my label to take this tremendous leap of faith on me. I will be in the studio day and night. I will go until it’s right,’” says the guitar-slinging singer and songwriter. “I feel so grateful that I’ve had a team around me that’s allowed me to do that and supported me every step of the way.” True to her word, Dunn spent virtually every waking moment holed up in The Cave at Nashville’s House of Blues studios, crafting her standout sound beneath the watchful eye of a Chuck Berry portrait with such A-list collaborators as Terry McBride, Jesse Frasure, and Ben West. And it definitely paid off. The hooks have irresistible pop-rock punch, the sentiments are shot through with heartland rock grit, the vocals show R&B-schooled rhythmic daring and the arrangements are both towering and dynamic. Every lick of guitar on there, from agile melodic figures to aggressive shredding, is hers. “I think there’s, like, one song where I didn’t play a mandolin part or something like that,” she says. “But other than that, every lead part is my playing—acoustic, electric, everything.” That goes for all of the vocal parts, too—except for a solitary Eric Paslay guest harmony. Dunn doesn’t sound quite like any other singer in any genre, but her sumptuous lower range and the attitude and lustiness she summons whenever it suits the song recalls such world-class pop performers as Pink or Annie Lennox. In her teens, Dunn geeked out over a VH1 “Behind the Music” documentary that showed Fleetwood Mac working out their meticulous vocal arrangements, and in the studio, she might devote as many as a dozen tracks to doubling the melody in a different octave or layering precision harmonies, which adds to the sheer size of her sound. Dunn began paying her dues back in southeast Colorado, where she grew up the second of two daughters born into a long line of farmers and ranchers. “We didn’t have any brothers,” she says. “We did basically everything that boys would normally do, driving 18-wheelers, combines, tractors. I was very grateful that my parents raised us with the mentality that we didn’t even think about it; it was just normal for us to do all that stuff. We were a small family operation, and it’s all hands on deck, all the time.” In her early years, Dunn soaked up her parents’ favorite classic rock and country records—lots of Bob Seger titles among them—and stocked up on Top 40 singles when the family made the trek to a store in a neighboring town that actually had a record bin. She also absorbed all manner of rhythmic pop and R&B during marathon dance classes, so devoted to her hip-hop dance team that she won a scholarship to study with Janet Jackson’s backup dancers in California. Says Dunn, “My mom wore out an engine in a Suburban hauling me back and forth to dance. I couldn’t go every day like the other kids, because I lived an hour away. So I would do makeup days, and spend all day from 10 in the morning to 10 o’clock at night just learning dances so that I could be in the recitals and competitions. Dance, for me, is such a form of expression. When I’m making music, I’m thinking about it from a dance perspective—beats and musicality and phrasing.” For all of her sonic smarts, the aspiring musician lived in a town with zero places to play live shows, and she had no clue how to pursue her dream after high school until she heard about the music business program at Nashville’s Belmont University. The private school was out of her family’s price range, but she didn’t let that stop her, raising a big chunk of her tuition by driving a silage truck. “Anytime that there wasn’t school going on,” she recalls, “I was on that truck. Spring break, summer break, fall break. If you could’ve grown silage in December, I would’ve been on it over Christmas break. Whenever I couldn’t be home to drive the truck, my family kept the wheels rolling. My mom, dad and sister all drove it for me when I couldn’t be there due to classes or internships.” It wasn’t until Dunn got to college that she learned how to play guitar. Unlike a lot of dorm room dabblers, she wasn’t content to just reach the point where she could accompany herself by strumming basic chords. “Whenever I’d try to talk to a guitar player and explain how I heard things, I could never explain it,” she says. “So I thought, ‘If I can’t explain it to them, I’d better see if I can learn how to do it myself, so I can get it the way that I hear it in my head.’ Lead guitar, for me, was where it was at. I had no interest in learning G, C, and D and stopping. I wanted to be able to sing on guitar.” After college, Dunn signed a deal that went sour and turned her attention to building a grassroots following through decidedly unglamorous touring. “I loaded up me and three guys in a four-door F-150 pickup and a trailer and we took off,” she laughs. “We put 100,000 miles on it in just a little over a year. We played bars—teeny, tiny bars—and honky-tonks and festivals. It was very bleak to start out with, pinching pennies, trying to magically make a dollar turn into three dollars, trying to keep morale up. Like, ‘I know we played for two people tonight, guys, but it’s fine. We’re gonna get beyond it!’ My family helped me then too. They believed in me so much that they were willing to sacrifice in order to help me build that following to get a record deal.” The audience quickly multiplied when SiriusXM’s The Highway channel put Dunn’s flirtatious number “Cowboy Side of You” in rotation, and the fans who came out to the shows found a vital, confident band leader stomping around, swapping fearsome solos and singing likes she meant it. Universal Music Group Nashville soon snatched her up, and she attracted in-demand co-writers like Paslay, West, Frasure, McBride, Tom Douglas, Liz Rose, Hillary Lindsey, Troy Verges, Chris Lindsey, Brett James, and Ryan Beaver, and hit the road with many of her musical heroes including Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, and Seger, who hand-picked Dunn as direct support on his Ride Out Tour. Now, that her with-it, down-home vision is captured on record and her sensuous single “Tuxedo” is impacting the country radio, Dunn is in the position to bring her music back to the people and places that taught her what determination was in the first place. “I can confidently say I would not be in this chair had it not been for that work ethic my parents and community instilled in me,” says the forward-thinking, farm-bred artist. “It’s been a tough road getting here and it’s taken longer than I would’ve liked, but I’ve always felt confident in setting and pursuing my goals. That work ethic is what drove me to learn how to play, and to go back out and play another show for ten people. Where I’m from, that’s just what you do—you work.”
Hoy queremos empezar nuestro programa reconociendo la labor de la comunidad musical en estos momentos difíciles. Nosotros vamos a inclinarnos hacia nuestros géneros favoritos y vamos a cruzar el Atlántico para asistir virtualmente a conciertos sin público que se hacen virales gracias de las redes sociales. De esta forma podemos compartir, por ejemplo, los sonidos de Brad Paisley y su banda al completo. El pasado viernes día 15, reunió a su banda habitual en un mismo escenario de un amplio local de ensayo en Nashville y dio un concierto en vivo sin público como parte de las llamadas Seltzer Sessions de una popular marca de cerveza. A lo largo de su intervención, el artista de West Virginia dio un rápido repaso a su amplio repertorio, uniendo en muchos casos distintas canciones. Así ocurrió con “American Saturday Night” y "Country Nation" dando una imagen de la diversidad de culturas que conforman los Estados Unidos y una forma de aceptación de los inmigrantes. Como sorpresa, Brad Paisley quiso recordar una de las canciones más populares de la carrera en solitario de Don Henley, con esta versión a “The Boys Of Summer” que formó parte en 1984 de Building the Perfect Beast, el segundo álbum del músico tejano en el que participaron varios de los miembros de los Heartbreakers de Tom Petty. De hecho el guitarrista Mike Campbell tenía una maqueta de la música que Petty no vio oportuna para Southern Accents, en disco en el que el grupo estaba trabajando. Se la enseñó a Henley y este le puso una letra nostálgica sobre el paso de la juventud a la mediana edad y el recuerdo del pasado. Lady Antebellum fueron los teloneros de este concierto del pasado día 15 que tuvo a Brad Paisley como cabeza de cartel. El trío de Nashville mantuvo el mismo formato, con banda completa y una distancia física de un par de metros. Hicieron un recorrido por buena parte de sus canciones más populares, pero ya que hemos hablado de Tom Petty, sus miembros volvieron a mostrar su debilidad por el músico de Florida con una versión de “I Won’t Back Down”, un tema de Full Moon Fever, el primer disco en solitario de Petty en 1989. Randy Rogers y Wade Bowen acaban de publicar su álbum conjunto Hold My Beer, Vol 2 y decidieron hacer una presentación especial del disco con un concierto acústico en el legendario Cheatham Street Warehouse de la tejana San Marcos donde la Randy Rogers Band grabó su disco de debut hace 20 años y que su líder compró hace tres años. En ese repaso por las nuevas canciones está “Rhinestoned”, que la pareja dice que es su favorita del álbum. Compuesta por Lori McKenna, Ryan Beaver y Ashley Ray, es una especia de oda a la country music de la vieja escuela, con homenajes a leyendas del g´nero como Hank Williams Sr. o George Jones. Las ofertas para mantener unidos a los seguidores a través de las redes sociales siguen dejando momentos mágicos. El batería de Aaron Watson, Nate Coon, tuvo la idea de hacer unas "Home Room Sessions" desde antes del aislamiento obligado y, por supuesto lo ha mantenido con la llegada de la pandemia. De esta forma nos hemos encontrado con Wade Bowen como invitado especial haciendo una versión sorprendente de “Somebody’s Baby”, un tema que Jackson Browne compuso junto a Danny Kortchmar para la banda sonora de la película de Fast Times at Ridgemont High, que aquí se tituló Aquel excitante curso y fue protagonizada por Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh y Judge Reinhold. La canción no se incluyó en ningún álbum oficial del artista, apareciendo en diferentes recopilatorios de éxitos. El siempre inquieto Ketch Secor, líder de Old Crow Medicine, acaba de regalarnos una nueva canción muy de estos tiempos y la ha titulado precisamente "Quarantined", como una forma de alegrar las dos semanas de cuarentena que te impiden tan siquiera un abrazo. Grabada en el Hartland Studios de la Nashville, "Quarantined" es la continuación en cuanto a novedad a "Nashville Rising", lanzada en abril para recaudar fondos para víctimas del tornado sufrido por Music City a través del Fondo de Respuesta a Emergencias de la Fundación Comunitaria de Middle Tennessee. Esta vez, Secor está acompañado por cuatro de los miembros de Old Crow Medicine Show y por la guitarra acústica de Molly Tuttle. Garth Brooks también ha querido colaborar a paliar en cierta forma la espera de su nuevo registro, Fun, que continúa alargándose, y nos ha dejado un par de adelantos como es el caso de “That’s What Cowboys Do”, una canción de corte clásico dentro de la country music que supera con creces el nivel de las que se escuchan en las emisoras de radio del estilo, con una superproducción que suele desmerecer los resultados. Por sorpresa, Margo Price ha publicado este pasado jueves Perfectly Imperfect at the Ryman, una colección de canciones grabadas a lo largo de las tres noches de conciertos en el Ryman Auditorium de Nashville en la primavera de 2018. Las 11 canciones nos dejan momentos tan especiales como las apariciones de Jack White, Emmylou Harris y Sturgill Simpson, que ha producido el nuevo álbum de estudio de la artista de Aledo, Illinois, That’s How Rumors Get Started, cuya fecha de lanzamiento se ha retrasado hasta el próximo verano debido a la pandemia del coronavirus, con una versión apasionante de “Ain’t Living Long Like This” que Rodney Crowell donde el músico de Kentucky demuestra su destreza con la guitarra. El próximo viernes aparece, por fin, Neon Croos, el nuevo trabajo de Jaime Wyatt que tiene ciertos tintes de renacimiento para la artista de la californiana Santa Monica, suponiendo pasar página con respecto a Felony Blues, publicado hace tres años. En este tiempo ha dejado sus adicciones y se ha acercado a sus amigos y a su familia, encontrando una identidad renovada que quiere compartir en este álbum. “Goodbye Queen” tiene que ver con sus relaciones fallidas y es una especie de libro abierto para declarar su recuperación y como considera que perdió el tiempo estando en el armario sin declarar sus inclinaciones sexuales. La naturalidad de una voz femenina interpretando sin impostura ni aditivos innecesarios un texto de un trovador tan personal como Mickey Newbury no parecía muy previsible. Pero ha llegado Gretchen Peters, una de las cantautoras más apreciadas de estos tiempos, además de haber escrito éxitos para docenas de artistas especialmente en el terreno del y, debido a su éxito, ser miembro del Salón de la Fama de los Compositores de Nashville. La veterana artista de Bronxville, en Nueva York, acaba de publicar The Night You Wrote That Song: The Songs of Mickey Newbury en el que ha hecho suyas narraciones de la experiencia humana en su forma más vulnerable. Al final de los 60 e inicio de la década de los 70, el tejano nos dejó las mejores grabaciones de su carrera, comenzando con Looks Like Rain en 1969, un álbum en el que se encontraba “San Francisco Mabel Joy”, un tema que cuenta las experiencias californianas de un muchacho de Georgia. El martes pasado Mickey Newbury debía haber cumplido 80 años. Milton Sims Newbury Jr. fue un tejano de Houston que se marchó a Nashville en los años 60 para convertirse en escritor de la compañía Acuff‑Rose. Sus canciones han sido grabadas por artistas de la categoría de Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley, Kenny Rogers o Kris Kristofferson, entre otros muchos. Esta última se convirtió en la gran joya de su primer álbum, Frisco Mabel Joy, publicado en 1971. En realidad era un medley de tres canciones de la Guerra Civil Americana ("Dixie", "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic" y "All My Trials"). A pesar de tener una enorme repercusión, el cantautor siempre pensó que aquel tema iba en detrimento de su faceta real como el gran compositor que era. Escuchar audio
Sliding in DM's, the fast track to becoming an artist, and new music with Jordan Davis and Tyler Dial. Jordan Davis takes us back to his home state of Louisiana and reflects on the past year on the release of his highly acclaimed breakout record, Home State.

With the help of his brother, right place in the right time connections, a fork in the road, and a little perseverance. Jordan was able to sign his label deal with Universal Music Group Nashville within 5 years from moving to Nashville. We tackle head games and making comparisons, but more importantly how he was able to get over the thief of joy. For everything about Jordan visit www.jordandavisofficial.com, and follow him @jordandavisofficial on social platforms. Arizona born, Texas schooled, Nashville songwriter Tyler Dial starts this episode promoting his latest release “About Last Night”. I first met Tyler years ago when he was still attending Texas University and starting his music career. What started off as a casual slide in a DM has now become a first time meet in person. Not really the new kid in town, Tyler has worked with songwriters/producers Ryan Tyndell, Ryan Beaver, Jeremy Spillman, Ben Hayslip, Lucie Silvas, Devin Dawson, Andy Albert, Kyle Fishman, and more on his Repaint EP.
