For Greg Susoreny, it’s been a very enjoyable journey pursuing his passion for writing and recording music. While his arrival in music comes after starting several businesses in other industries, he is not ending something; he’s just getting started. With the strong country and adult contemporary sound that defines his music, time spent listening to Greg will put you into a thought-provoking mood. Greg says his current single, “Oh Baby,” was written to express the passion and insecurities people feel when you fall in love. He will be releasing his next single “Alone On This Road” in a few months. He produced and recorded his music in Nashville, TN “I hope my music inspires people to reflect on what is really important in life.”

Born in Northwest Indiana and raised in Dallas, Texas, Susoreny was consumed with playing sports during his younger years. After graduating from college, he went to work, but not in music. With his business degree from Indiana University School of Business, Susoreny founded a technical staffing and software company in Dallas, Texas, started a general contracting company in Miami Beach, Florida and built a roofing company in Colorado Springs, Colorado and designed and built a condo community in Costa Rica. A true entrepreneur, Greg has a keen eye for opportunity.

Greg started his first record label called Truth Records in Miami Beach, Florida in 2002. Working with his first Truth Records artist was a good motivator for him, and as they worked on his album, Greg’s desire to write and record his own music came calling. “I’ve always been a poet at heart. Rhymes come easy to me, and I can clearly hear the song melodies in my head even though I am not proficient in playing an instrument.” Original thought provoking songs, written from the heart, are a natural fit for Susoreny. Being at the musical helm is also the right fit for his entrepreneurial spirit. Not only did he found Aqua Blue Records, the label on which his music is released, but he directly manages every aspect of the creation, production and release of his music.

From sharing his time between Southwest Florida and Colorado, Greg is the president of Pyramid Roofing Corp in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Greg is also focused on building Aqua Blue Records and writing and recording more of his music. There is a lot more to come, “I want to release more music of my own, and build Aqua Blue Records. I want to find talented artists who have the drive and determination to become successful.”

Multi-platinum selling singer/songwriter Kip Moore released today his brand new song ‘Live Here to Work’ along with a grunge-tinged rock n’ roll music video. Available everywhere through Virgin Music Group, ‘Live Here to Work’ finds Moore reuniting with co-producer Jaren Johnston for a defiant, guitar-drenched anthem striking a rebellious chord between work/life balance as he contends “My time is short and it ain’t yours / Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind getting my hands in a little dirt / But I don’t live here to work.”

“I think it’s easy as humans to get caught up in the mundaneness of day to day tasks and responsibilities,” stated Moore.

“Everyone’s had that feeling where they’ve hit that limit and you’re just like ‘fuck that, I have to get off this hamster wheel or my spirit’s gonna die.’ We played it live for the first time at a show a few weeks ago and people lost it. It’s going to be fun to see how others embrace it… or don’t.”

Moore teased the upcoming release of ‘Live Here to Work’ last week along with the announcement that he has partnered with Virgin Music Group for the next phase of his career. He spoke with Billboard and stated, “their tenacity, passion and their focus on a global plan made this feel like the next best step. We’ve been seeing a real growth internationally from touring there the past few years, and so it felt natural to go with a team that has tentacles in a lot of different territories, particularly the countries I have toured extensively.”

Moore is in the midst of his marathon Nomad World Tour which resumes in arenas and stadiums this month with a 14-show run in Australia, followed by a return to South Africa where he performed to crowds of over 40,000 fans last year, and culminates with a string of dates in the U.S. this fall. Tickets and VIP packages are available now and can be purchased HERE.

Hailed as “an uncompromising, genre-defying artist firing on all cylinders” (Vice/Noisey) and “one of country’s more thoughtful artists” (Billboard), multi-platinum selling singer/songwriter Kip Moore has blazed his own trail and cemented his place as one of music’s most beloved artists. Beginning with his auspicious debut in 2012, Moore has since released five critically acclaimed albums and penned over a dozen chart-topping singles, including the multi-platinum hits ‘Something’ ‘Bout a Truck’, ‘Hey Pretty Girl’, ‘Beer Money’, and ‘More Girls Like You’. With over 1 billion streams and 2.5 million monthly listeners, he’s performed sold-out headline shows in stadiums around the world including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, The U.K., Europe, and the U.S., leading to a nomination for CMA’s International Artist Achievement Award. His latest album Damn Love was praised by Holler as “the best album of Kip Moore’s career” while earning further acclaim from Billboard, Music Row, and American Songwriter. Moore also appeared on Good Morning America to perform the album’s lead single and title track. A truly remarkable performer and “one of country music’s most tireless and powerful live draws” (Rolling Stone), Moore has spent the bulk of 2024 out on the road where he’s renowned for his signature sound and blistering live shows. He kicked off the year by joining Billy Currington as part of a limited Billy Currington & Kip Moore: Live In Concert run, which was followed by a stint out on HARDY’s QUIT!! Tour.

Following a thrilling year of touring across Australia and Canada to promote his fourth studio album, Shades On Me, acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter Andy Penkow is set to release his latest single, “The Lone Drover.” With this new release, Penkow once again demonstrates his versatility by transitioning from contemporary sounds to a more traditional Aussie bush ballad.

“The Lone Drover” is a poignant exploration of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. The song tells the story of a resilient Australian outback worker, or “battler,” who loses love only to find it anew. Central to the narrative is the deep bond he shares with his daughter and the rugged land he calls home. This single serves as a prequel to Penkow’s 2023 Golden Guitar-nominated bush ballad, “Ghostly Gums.”

Hailing from the small town of Sussex Inlet in New South Wales, Penkow grew up immersed in a diverse range of country music influences, from legends like Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, and Hank Williams to iconic Australian artists such as Slim Dusty, John Williamson, and Kasey Chambers. His deep appreciation for traditional Australian country music is evident, as he pays homage to the great bush balladeers who have come before him.

Reflecting on the creation of “The Lone Drover,” Penkow shared, “Writing this bush ballad was a deeply moving experience for me. Collaborating with talented songwriters Kath Stewart and Rip-Van Parks and working with the exceptional producer Steve Newton at ENREC Studios, allowed me to bring this story to life. I envisioned what the drover must have felt-losing the love of his life, raising a child alone as best he knew how. The doubt and fear, the loneliness and pain, and yet, the warmth and love he felt for his daughter. My admiration for all the Aussie drovers and farmers, working in some of the harshest terrains, has grown tenfold.”

As an artist passionate about his craft, Penkow emphasises the significance of “The Lone Drover” as a reflection of his artistic identity. “People may question my musical style, whether I’m contemporary, alternative, country blues, or traditional. To me, I am an artist and storyteller, first and foremost. I write and sing songs that resonate with me on a personal level, and I hope my audiences can connect with that.”

COURTNEY KEIL SHARES NEW SINGLE ‘JUST LIKE FLYING’: A HEARTFELT TRIBUTE TO HER GRANDFATHER’S TRIUMPH

Australian country songbird, Courtney Keil, is thrilled to announce the release of her latest single, ‘Just Like Flying’. The deeply personal track pays tribute to Courtney’s late grandfather, Glen Keil, and his remarkable achievement in the Barossa Valley’s 1951 Jubilee year Vintage Festival.

‘Just Like Flying’ captures the essence of true Australian spirit and history, inspired by a memorable foot race won by Courtney’s grandfather. Picture the Barossa Valley in 1951 – the 50th anniversary of the Federation of Australia, a Jubilee year. “The Tanunda Showgrounds oval held ‘Jubilee’ track and field events, attracting athletes from all around the country,” shared Courtney’s grandfather, days before his passing in 2020. “I was 20 years old and not a professional runner, but because I was quick on the footy field, my teammates coaxed me to enter the race.”

The young underdog etched his name in history that day, taking home the trophy. However, it wasn’t Courtney who first envisaged the story in song. “My dad originally came up with the idea of the song,” she admits. Naturally they wrote it together, alongside long-time collaborator and producer, Rod McCormack.

The track was crafted over two days at The Music Cellar, with meticulous attention to detail and a nod to the traditional sounds of country music. “I loved once again working with Rod. He worked his magic incorporating all my favourite classic country sounds that I love so much!”

Following her successful duet with Gina Jeffreys – which reached #5 on the Country Songs Top 40 Australian Airplay Chart and was featured on Apple Music’s ‘Aussie Country’ and ‘Country Risers’ playlists – Courtney continues to captivate audiences with her unique blend of storytelling and musicality.

The silk-toned singer has won back-to-back awards for ‘Best Female Vocal’ at the 2023 & 2024 Australian Country Music People’s Choice Awards, highlighting her growing influence in the country music scene. While on the festival circuit she recently captivated crowds at the iconic Gympie Music Muster .

Having played support to legendary acts like The Whitlams Black Stump and Brian Cadd, Courtney is set to take centre stage for a headline show at Gosford RSL. On September 20th she promises an unforgettable performance on NSW’s Central Coast, where she now calls home.

‘Just Like Flying’ is a testament to Courtney’s evolving artistry and personal connection to her music. It’s more than just a song; it’s a homage to a cherished memory and a testament to the enduring legacy of Glen Keil.
