Good Will Remedy set to release single – “it’s Only Tuesday” on Tuesday 15th April

What does Tuesday actually offer anyone?

It’s a day that kind of gets lost really – it’s close enough to Monday to get a bit of overspill from those Monday blues – yet some distance from Friday and the weekend sparkle. The song It’s Only Tuesday recognises that the busy nature of life can come in waves and sometimes those waves peak really, really early and the week just isn’t long enough to cope, moreover you just can’t see the end of the week through the ‘mire’ – particularly if by Tuesday your week has already peaked, and the weekend seems a lifetime away!

Songwriter Will says on the song – “I was working in a quite stressful job, that was just so intense – all the time….and one day I had experienced one of those weeks that just start manic and continue to increase in intensity – and I thought – man this is insane….and It’s Only (insert expletive) Tuesday – and while I don’t want to encourage drinking as a coping mechanism – I certainly found myself drawn towards some ‘self-medication’ a little earlier in the week than normal to help me through.”

The track sees Good Will Remedy work again with Brisbane Engineer and Producer Jeff Lovejoy at his Brisbane based BlackBox studio and features Keyboard legend and virtuoso Vaughan Jones. The song really swings in a traditional southern rock feel and stands to be a crowd favourite for the band.

Good Will Remedy release “it’s Only Tuesday” to radio and industry on Tuesday April 8th and to all streaming services Tuesday April 15th.

“Three-Chord Town” Charted to #1 on Amazon Music in March, 2025.

I’m Rip Gerber, a 62-year-old country artist making my debut with “Three-Chord Town,” a deeply personal anthem that just hit #1 on Amazon Music. Written in the wake of my 28-year marriage ending during the COVID-19 pandemic, this track channels my journey from heartbreak to resilience after losing my father, job, health, and marriage, and moving to Nashville for a fresh start. Born on a Steinway piano-ironically a gift from my ex-wife-and inspired by a creatively charged weekend in the Bay Area, the song blends raw honesty, humor, and irony, capturing the ache of lost love and the dream of starting anew. Featuring poignant lyrics and a heartfelt “Gimmies Choir” led by my son, it’s a bittersweet reflection on life’s upheavals that resonates universally, as noted by Americana Highways, which exclusively premiered the music video by Gonzalez Media Productions.

“Three-Chord Town” is more than a song-it’s my therapy, born in Nashville’s 12 South on a chilly night in 2021, where I turned pain into music that saved me. It’s about what lingers after loss-the burdens we leave behind and the treasures we carry forward-striking a chord with anyone who’s faced life’s sharp turns. With its mix of country storytelling and emotional depth, I’d be honored if you’d give it a listen and consider sharing it with your audience.

The official music video of “Three-Chord Town” has surpassed 100,000 views on YouTube and video streaming platforms.

Shanleigh Rose – Sings of Heartbreak

And A Not So Friendly Love In Her Latest Single “We’re Not Friends”

In a multiplicity of breakup anthems, Shanleigh Rose’s “We’re Not Friends” makes its mark, capturing the hostile aftermath following the end of a not-so-friendly young love. A little bit country, a little bit pop, and just a touch of livid. ‘We’re Not Friends’ is the catchy reminder you need that your ex is NOT your friend. “Cause friends don’t lie and lead you on.”

Shanleigh Rose is truly establishing herself in the music industry. Her new single, “We’re Not Friends,” will resonate with anyone who has experienced the fallout of a tumultuous relationship. The song explores the emotional landscape of post-breakup hostility,

blending elements of country and pop with a raw and intense edge.

This powerful anthem reminds us that not all relationships need to transition into friendships. With poignant lyrics such as “Cause friends don’t lie and lead you on,” Shanleigh Rose effectively captures the essence of her message with compelling honesty.
“Often, people think they can treat you carelessly and have the audacity to try and call you a friend afterwards. In my case, this someone was an ex. I’ve learnt that self-respect and knowing what’s best for you are so much more important than letting your emotions allow the wrong kind of people to stay in your life.” Mention Shanleigh

The realisation only came after Shanleigh had finished penning the song. It was a hard lesson to learn, but I got a pretty cool song out of it. Shanleigh hopes “We’re Not Friends” will empower others to recognise their self-worth and determine who can call themself a friend.

Corey Colum Rides Again With New Single

West Australian country artist Corey Colum is back with new single, ‘One More Ride’, a tribute to those chasing what they love, no matter how old they get.

This rodeo-inspired track tells the story of two men – one who was originally from Home Hill station and another in Onslow, WA who, despite no longer riding saddle broncs, remain deeply connected to the sport they love.

For Corey, ‘One More Ride’ is more than just a rodeo anthem; it’s a reflection of his own journey in music.

“The whole story came about from a couple of guys – one from the station where we were living, one in Onslow – both getting a bit older but still having a crack,” he said.

“I can relate to that because music is something I love, and no matter what stage I’m on, it’s still in my blood.”

Written in 2023 after he and his family moved to Onslow, ‘One More Ride’ marks Colum’s third single release off his upcoming album.

“I just want to get all the songs out,” he said.

“The Tamworth Country Music Festival was awesome – it was great to share these songs and catch up with people. I’m already looking forward to getting things organised for next year.”

With an album on the horizon for August, Corey is eager to share his music with fans, particularly those in the rodeo world.

“I think rodeo listeners will relate to this song, as well as musos,” he said.

“But really, it’s for anyone – whether you’re still playing footy, still chasing a dream, or just holding on to something you love. If you love it, stay with it. Do it for the love.”

Off the back of these successes, Jimbo Stokes releases his epic new single, Made Up Mine.

As Jimbo describes the new track, “Made Up Mine is a unique track, full of attitude and a bit of cheek with the sense of frustration building with the music.- I think anyone fallen victim to the mixed message might empathies here – I wanted to make something pretty distinct with some punch, great to team up with Phil Barton on the writing and Jacky McCormack in the studio.

The Scone based country singer had his breakout year in 2023, which saw two singles (Headed Country and Atlas) rocket up the country music charts and assert himself as one to watch. The momentum will continue into 2025 with more singles planned and further show and festival dates to be added.

Her voice adds a whole new layer of depth and heart.” Brooke Supple , an acclaimed artist who has toured internationally and shared stages with legends like Sinead O’Connor and The Corrs. Brooke brings her seasoned artistry and emotive vocal strength to this collaboration.

Reflecting on the track, Brooke says, “I personally resonate with this song as a mature adult, reflecting on the good old days of our youth, yet still expressing the strength, resilience, and zest for life we have, even in its fleeting moments. It was an awesome experience to join Adam in bringing it to life.”

With its infectious chorus and genuine lyrics, “Few Good Years Left Yet” is a testament to Brand’s ability to connect with fans of all generations, while Brooke’s heartfelt performance adds an irresistible touch of magic.

Award-Winning Country Artist Cali Tucker, described last summer by People Magazine as “a blend of sweet and sassy…addictive,” is back with a new single and video, Urban Cowboy. Urban Cowboy received a limited release last summer with Holler Country calling it “a peppy pop country fantasy dancefloor filler” and since then the single and music video have been streamed over 500,000 times and is currently being played on radio stations across the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Ireland, and South Africa.

Urban Cowboy is the embodiment of all the fairytales I grew up with,” Cali Tucker says. “The video tells the story of a young girl who is transported to a magical land filled with mythical creatures, none of whom ever encountered the Urban Cowboy. Together, they embark on a journey to help her find him. It’s a tale filled with hope, adventure, humor, and the relentless pursuit of love – a true romantic comedy at heart.” Keeping things in the family, the video feature Cali’s mom, 70’s country star LaCosta Tucker, and Cali’s niece, Adelin Tucker.

Cali Tucker has had a phenomenal year by any measure. Her music has amassed millions of streams on platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. She performed the National Anthem for NASCAR’s Penzoil 400 in front of eighty thousand racing fans and to an estimated television audience of over three million. Her music video, Country Couture, has become the darling of film festivals around the globe, including the New York International Film Awards, LA Film Awards, ARFF Paris, Accolade Global Film Awards, Onirus Film Awards, IndieX Film Awards, and The Las Vegas Music Video Awards where it won 4 trophies (Best Female Vocalist, Best Country Video, Best Song, and overall Judges’ Choice).

Raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Cali Tucker’s journey into the spotlight began early. At fifteen, she earned the title of Miss Teen All American and graced the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. She rose to national prominence on Season 6 of NBC’s The Voice under the mentorship of Blake Shelton. Now, as a Las Vegas headliner, she continues to push boundaries and redefine what it means to be a modern country artist.

Kaylee Bell is back with a brand-new anthem, and this time, she’s putting a playful spin on the age-old question: When’s the ring coming? Teaming up in New York with writers Zach Zadek (Tate McRae, Dasha, FLETCHER and Lauv) and Michel Heyeka, ‘Ring On It’ is a fun, feel-good, and undeniably catchy track that blends Bell’s signature energy with a fresh, modern take on classic country-pop. Tom Jordan formerly of Australian country duo Seaforth, produced the track, injecting an irresistible energy that makes it an instant banger.

Packed with infectious melodies, driving banjo, and a tongue-in-cheek attitude that would make Shania Twain proud, ‘Ring On It’ is a confident, cheeky reminder that you’ll never find something better than this. Whether you’re waiting for a proposal or just love a good country banger, this one’s for you.

“I wanted this song to feel like a total moment-big energy, big hooks, and just pure fun. Tom and I had a blast writing it, and it’s that perfect mix of playful and powerful,” says Bell.

Even with the arrival of her first child, there’s no slowing down for Kaylee Bell, who recently took the stage at CMC Rocks QLD and Homegrown in New Zealand, showing once again why she’s one of country music’s most dynamic performers. The self-made Kiwi artist has spent the last few years forging her own path, touring with Ed Sheeran and The Chicks, and holding the title of most streamed female country artist in Australasia for five consecutive years.

She made history as the first independent female country artist to receive an ARIA GOLD record in Australia in 20 years, with her viral hit ‘Keith’ racking up over 60 million TikTok plays, 25 million Spotify streams, and a US Billboard chart.

Bell’s latest collaboration sees her joining The Wiggles on ‘Say the Dance, Boots ‘N All’, a country mash-up blending her hit Boots ‘N All with The Wiggles’ classic Say the Dance, Do the Dance. The track appears on Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!, a star-studded country album featuring Dolly Parton, Lainey Wilson, Orville Peck, Dasha, Jackson Dean, and more.

After spending time in Nashville and working in the studio with Tom Jordan, Bell is stepping into a brand-new chapter-both as an artist and a mum. Pregnancy sparked a fresh wave of creativity, and now, as she balances life with a newborn, writing, recording, and performing, she’s more inspired than ever, with new music on the way and her biggest year yet ahead.

The Wonderfully Talented Dianne Coombes Returns With An Absolute Gem ‘Getting On With Getting Over You’

‘Getting On With Getting Over You’ is a lively bluegrass song exploring the realisation that time always takes its own sweet time when it comes to healing broken hearts – it won’t be rushed. Written by Angus Gill and Jon Weisberger, this song is guaranteed to have your toes tapping.

Hi, I’m Dianne Coombes …

I have loved music and singing since I can remember. Our family get togethers were always a musical affair as all my uncles and aunt played instruments or sang, and there are recordings of me singing at these events when I was five years old.

My Dad played in dance bands all my life and I grew up invading band rehearsals at every opportunity when Mum had her back turned. I sang with my Dad’s band from the age of fourteen at all the country hall dances and balls, although I had to be sixteen before I was allowed to sing on stage at the local RSL.

I was raised and still reside at Macksville in the Nambucca Valley, a small town with a big heart. Marrying at 21, I put music on hold while starting a family. I spent four years as a single mum raising two amazing daughters which had its difficulties, but also forged my girls and I into the ‘3 Musketeers’, a bond which is still a force to be reckoned with today.

I married for a second time to the most amazing man God put breath into and he became our rock. He and my girls encouraged and supported my return to music and during this time I went from singing at local venues, to appearing at many events and festivals up and down the Coast.

In 2016 I released my debut album ‘Walk With Me’ which contained twelve songs, eight of which were originals that I felt documented my life up until that point. To my delight, it received great reviews and won prestigious awards. 2016 was also the year my darling husband died of lung cancer and my world was shattered. Music then became my refuge, and I poured myself into songwriting in an attempt to survive my grief.

My songwriting is inspired by observing nature and the beautiful place we call home as well as my own life experience, so it truly lays me open and bare in a way that I hope others can relate to. I hope they hear my songs and feel the echoes of emotions and experiences from their own lives.

Seven years further down the track, and I have just completed a body of work that I am really proud of. My new album titled ‘Ripples’ is a testament to the privilege of experiences and love in my life and the amazing vision, songwriting, and production skills of Angus Gill. It’s a country/folk album full of stories of life and love and inspiration.

I hope you enjoy and let the Ripples go on …

Hayden Phillis Unveils Stirring New Single ‘Too Young’ Inspired by Stories Untold.

Emerging singer-songwriter Hayden Phillis returns with ‘Too Young’, a song about deep issues, heralding the release of his upcoming debut album in early May of the same name.

While the lyrics in ‘Too Young’ are not a direct retelling of real-life events, the song was sparked by a chance meeting with a former schoolmate, whose candid conversation left a deep impact on Hayden.

“Too Young was inspired by seeing someone I hadn’t seen for a few years,” Hayden said.

“They told me about a lot of things they were struggling with during high school and why they left high school early.

“Hearing about all the things they had been going through highlighted for me how younger people can go through lots of bad things and have no one be aware of it and go under the radar. So, I wrote a song around that idea with many references to the area around where I live.”

Rather than telling one specific story, ‘Too Young’ draws on a range of tough issues, many of which vulnerable young people face. The lyrics explore themes of child homelessness, drug abuse, broken homes, toxic relationships, and the spiral that can occur when one hardship leads to another.

“It was saddening and a shock to realise they were going through all of these things that I had no idea about,” Hayden said.

“It is such a pressing issue, so I wanted to add a more personal side to it in song.”

Written solely by Hayden, ‘Too Young’ is a reminder of the hidden battles many young people face – and how important it is to remain aware and compassionate.

“I want ‘Too Young’ to acknowledge how real these issues are and how you don’t really know how your friends are doing and I hope it might make people be more aware of what people might be experiencing around them,” he said.

The forthcoming ‘Too Young’ album is a deeply personal project, with several songs drawing from Hayden’s own life, including struggles with epilepsy and loss of faith and stories inspired by those around him.

“The album definitely has a couple of songs that hit home with those more personal issues – songs about my childhood epilepsy, internal struggles with religion, drug abuse, and homelessness for young people,” he said.

“With this album especially, I wanted to focus more on topics that are important.”

The album was recorded at Rabbit Hole Recording Studios with Brandon Dodd – a setting that captured the energy and emotion of live performance.

“It was pretty incredible to record with him and he and Kasey Chambers’ studio,” Hayden said.

‘Too Young’ is available now on all streaming platforms. The album will follow in early May.

We are finally hitting the road in support of the New Album – Home Wasn’t Built In A Day as the second single hits radio.

‘Pacifico In Mexico’ has become one of the most successful singles of Aaron’s career and will be a staple for the tour which begins in Nashville TN on April 11th and encompasses 41 cities across North America.
