“Once I had decided to go into the genre that always had my heart, I felt like whenever I told someone about my decision it was followed by one question, ‘what makes you different to everyone else?'” Brittany shares. “I felt like I kept trying to tell people exactly who I was, but for me, music has always been the best way to communicate.”

With “Typical Country Girl”, Brittany feels that she has found the perfect way to express her unique identity and share her story with her growing fanbase. The song describes her perfectly, she says, and it’s her chance to explain to people exactly who she is in a way that she feels she can express herself perfectly.

“I may not dress a certain way, act a certain way, but that doesn’t make me any less than anyone else,” Brittany explains. “I’m different, but at the heart of it all, I’m just a girl doing what I love and just wanting to share my music with the world.”

The numbers don’t lie when it comes to Brittany’s talent and appeal. Following the release of her single “Carefree”, Brittany amassed over 500,000 streams on Spotify in just a few short months. She has gained an impressive following on social media, boasting more than 40 million views on YouTube and more than 380,000 fans on TikTok.

Brittany boasts over 84,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, showing a strong and committed fan base. With a high-energy live show that leaves audiences wanting more, no festival line-up is quite complete without someone like Brittany Maggs.

” Typical Country Girl” promises to be yet another hit for the rising star, and fans can’t wait to hear what she has in store next. Be sure to check out the track and experience the infectious energy and unique sound that has made Brittany Maggs one of the most exciting new talents in the Australian country music scene.

RAECHEL WHITCHURCH RETURNS WITH NEW SINGLE & VIDEO ‘I’M NOT COOL’

Two-time Golden Guitar nominee Raechel Whitchurch has revealed the first new music since her ARIA #1 debut album, Finally Clear. The loveable songbird has struck gold once again with the light-hearted single, ‘I’m Not Cool’.

‘I’m Not Cool’ is the kind of tongue-in-cheek bop that sums up the Alt-Country singer. A seriously good songwriter, who doesn’t take herself too seriously. She established herself early on as one not afraid to colour outside the lines and this single beams with that same self-assuredness. “No I’m not cool / Oh but neither are you so it’s alright”.

Inspiration for the tune came from a chat between friends. “I wrote this song after having a conversation with one of my good friends, Fanny (Lumsden). We were both laughing about how we weren’t cool and how we wouldn’t be able to fake it even if we wanted to.”

“I couldn’t get this song idea out of my head that I should make fun of myself by listing all of the uncool things I do, and then as I was writing it, I started thinking about how everyone is super uncool when they first fall in love. Your heart races, you stumble over your words, you daydream… It all came together for the chorus, and I’m Not Cool was the end result!”

The joyful bop hits the ground running – opening with a duo of dreamy guitars that instantly make you tap a beat. As with her previous work, she once again enlisted the talents of multiple Golden Guitar and ARIA winner, Matt Fell (Fanny Lumsden, Troy Cassar-Daley), for the producer’s chair.

Though for an artist as busy as Whitchurch it’s amazing she even found time to record the song at all. “I recorded this single at Matt Fell’s new place, Wilder Studios, down in Tasmania. I had back-to-back tours with Adam Harvey, then Felicity Urquhart & Josh Cunningham, and straight after the tours wrapped I flew to Tasmania, 7 months pregnant, to record new music.”

Being a constant go-getter, she wasn’t about to let her impending little one hold her up. “I’ve never recorded when I was so heavily pregnant before and it was definitely more challenging than any other recording process before. The whole family came and we stayed in a little cabin near the studio, and it was so cold that it was snowing overnight!”

She had a little help from family when shooting the single’s music video too. “I really wanted to include my husband Ben in the video so we created a storyline of us going away on a retreat together, that I am not very excited about.” Shot in Mangrove Mountain with director, Ashley Taylor, the clip sees the couple very much in their element. “In real life, Ben and I love to tease each other and play practical jokes, so it was quite easy to film this video. I just wish that Ben hadn’t got me so good with the flour in the face!”

Since garnering two Golden Guitar nominations with her ARIA #1 debut album, Finally Clear, Whitchurch has had a jam-packed tour schedule. She not only supported Adam Harvey, Felicity Urquhart & Josh Cunningham on national tours but also embarked on her own east coast headline tour. Later this year she’s slated to appear at the massive Let’s Wing It Festival in Scone.

‘I’m Not Cool’ is another triumph from this new star. “Raechel is a perceptive, thoughtful songwriter who deftly crafts her music to create songs that are personal yet universal – the mark of a true songwriter” (Sue Jarvis – Country Music Capital News). Her latest single is further proof she’s the real deal.

Jump on your bike because Jason McDaniel’s new single is gonna make you grab a Harley and hit the road.

Harley Davidsons have been a long-term passion of Melbourne singer-songwriter Jason McDaniel and this comes to life in his new single aptly titled, ‘Harley Ride’, out March 10.

“I love Harley Davidsons, wild music and whiskey and am heavily involved in the HOG Club and play country rock, so I wanted to write something different,” he said.

“There are not many songs written about Harleys in the country arena and I don’t sing sad songs.”

Jason has been riding the iconic motorcycles since 1993 when he bought his first Harley and hasn’t looked back.

“Harley Davidsons have had their marketing push for years around everything different, passion, outlaw and freedom and that’s what Harley tends to represent,” he said.

“Besides that, they’re great motorbikes. For me to apply that kind of passion to my songwriting and then try to back up that music with sounds and a feel that would suit that type of mystique was what I wanted to achieve.”

The harshest critics are always going to be those who know Harleys best – other riders, and they’ve embraced the song since their sneak preview.

‘Harley Ride’ was also the song that netted Jason his manager/producer, musician Dave Wilkins.

“This was the first song I played for my now manager, Dave Wilkins,” Jason said.

“He got into it and got the groove and could see where I was going, now Dave’s new company Crank Entertainment Group have signed me to their label and this was the song that started that relationship.”

Of course, you don’t have to be a Harley rider to embrace the passion behind this new single.

“This song is all about the passion for riding, whether it’s a Harley or any other brand of motorbike, it’s about getting out there on the road being a bit free and just firing up the two wheels,” Jason said.

“Everyone likes to ride down a highway or a twisty road – there’s no feeling like riding a motorbike in that environment full stop.”

Harley Ride follows on from ‘A Tall Glass of Country and a Shot of Rock ‘N’ Roll’, as Jason relaunches his rocking country music career.

DALTON DOVER’S “GIVING UP ON THAT” MOST ADDED AT US COUNTRY RADIO

Georgia Native’s First Single with UMG Nashville/Mercury Records Earns 60 First Week Stations as Streams Exceed 1 Million in Two Weeks

As a Pandora 2023 Artist to Watch, an Amazon Music 2023 Breakthrough Artist to Watch: Country Class and a member of CMT’s LISTEN UP 2023 Class, Dalton Dover continues to reach new career milestones with the debut of his first single via UMG Nashville/ Mercury Records, as “Giving Up On That” is the most added song at US Country radio with 60 first week stations, along with fans streaming the song and garnering over 1 million streams in the first two weeks of its release.

“To have this much support on my first official single is such an incredible feeling,” shares Dover. “Thank you to my team for believing in me and this song and thank you to Country radio for your excitement and enthusiasm. This is definitely a week I’ll never forget!”

Written by Dover with Adam Craig and Josh Pierce, “Giving Up On That” showcases Dover’s sharp vocals as he pleads with a long-gone lover, recounting his previous screw-ups and outlining the steps he’s taken to prove his loyalty and his desire to try again, as Country Now lauds “Dalton Dover is off to a roaring start in 2023,” with The Boot praising, “this heartbreak track has all the makings of a country radio hit,” while MusicRow boasts, “This power ballad of regret and yearning gives him a super showcase for his dynamic, whisper-to-a-scream vocal ability. A solid winner. Make this man a star.”

Dover prepares to make his international debut at C2C: Country to Country Festival’s CMA Songwriters Series before joining Chase Rice on the Way Down Yonder Tour in April. This summer, the Georgia native will perform at the 50th Anniversary of CMA Fest at Nissan Stadium’s Platform Stage and Chevy Vibes Stage. Dover honed his captivating live show last year with two performances at CMA Fest, opening for Luke Comb’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium show in Atlanta, Ga. and joining Priscilla Block’s Welcome To The Block Party Tour.

After being named a Spotify 2022 Artist to Watch, he released “Hear About A Girl,” earning praise from Billboard noting, “Dover’s voice is both intimate and commanding on this track,” while MusicRow asserts it confirms “we’re in the presence of a master country talent when this man sings…Make him a star. Now.” He followed the song with “Damn Good Life,” with The Boot sharing, “Dover is savoring every moment in his uplifting new single,” while Country Now observes, “Between the optimistic narrative that Dover delivers through his crisp vocals and the carefree tune highlighted by the impressive guitar strum, nothing but a good time can be had when this song comes through the speakers.”

About Dalton Dover
Lauded by MusicRow as a “master country talent,” Dalton Dover’s current single “Giving Up On That” via UMG Nashville/Mercury Records was the most-added track at US Country Radio upon its debut with 60 first week adds and garnered over 1 million streams in the first two weeks of its release. Named a Pandora 2023 Artist to Watch, an Amazon Music 2023 Breakthrough Artist to Watch: Country Class and a member of CMT’s LISTEN UP 2023 Class, he will make his international debut in March at C2C: Country to Country Festival’s CMA Songwriters Series before joining Chase Rice on the Way Down Yonder Tour in April. Dover first started singing at church as a kid, winning his fifth-grade school talent show performing Justin Bieber’s “Baby.” In that moment Dover’s love of performing was born. By the age of 16 he had picked up a guitar and started teaching himself to play, yet it was his grandfather who turned him on to country music and artists such as Keith Whitley, Rhett Akins, Joe Diffie and Steve Wariner. Performances at local bars soon followed along with sharing covers of some of his favorite songs on TikTok. It was there he caught the ear of producer Matt McV and A&R veteran and founder of Droptine, Jim Catino, who quickly signed Dover. His debut track “You Got a Small Town,” produced by McV, quickly garnered critical acclaim from Billboard, MusicRow, Country Now and Wide Open Country. With his debut and his follow-up “Baby I Am” earning notable playlisting, Dover was named a Spotify Hot Country 2022 Artist to Watch along with a spotlight as Billboard’s February Country Rookie of the Month and a nod for MusicRow ‘s 2022 Discovery Artist of the Year. After opening for Luke Comb’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium show in Atlanta, Ga., Dover set out on a seven-date run of his own headlining shows, performing across multiple locations of Blake Shelton’s Ole Red, followed by Priscilla Block’s Welcome To The Block Party and his debut at the Grand Ole Opry.

Canadian Country artist Karli June announces her Australian radio debut with her empowering song “Makes You Pretty”. A touching ode to women who are struggling to see beauty in the parts of themselves that they’ve been told are flaws, “Makes You Pretty” is off Karli’s debut EP “Where You Come From”, which has garnered over 1.5 million streams to date.

“‘Makes You Pretty’ is a boot-stomping anthem about celebrating where a woman’s true beauty comes from. We wrote it about the feeling so many women feel – that they’re not pretty. It celebrates the laugh lines, the strength you have to make through tough times, and the kindness of your heart. I hope it leaves every woman feeling beautiful and strong,” said Karli.

The empowering track was co-written by Karli and hit songwriters Karen Kosowski (Meghan Patrick, The Washboard Union, Tim Hicks, Mickey Guyton) and Tori Tullier (Emma White, Tim Hicks). Produced by Kosowski, ” Makes You Pretty” is a key release for the up and coming singer-songwriter, following 16 months of career of growth after being selected as a 2021 participant in the prestigious TD Incubator for Creative Entrepreneurship powered by SOCAN Foundation, being one of three finalists selected to represent Ontario in the 2021 nationwide Jim Beam Talent Search and being selected as Arcadia Broadcasting’s “Break Out Artist” for “Makes You Pretty” in Canada.

“This song is about finding your value as a woman. Knowing that your strength lies in the hardest moments, and the way you care for others,” said Karli. “It also touches on the lies that girls believe about themselves and encourages them to find their true worth.”

Karli and her band have been hitting the live circuit, with several key shows this past year including; being selected to perform on the Bonfire stage in London, ON during the CMA Ontario award weekend where they opened for award winning country artist Tebey, showcasing in Toronto, ON at Canadian Music Week, performing at 2 songwriter rounds in Calgary, AB during the Canadian Country Music Awards weekend and opening for award-winning Country music group The Washboard Union at the Saskatchewan Jazz Festival.

Born in Listowel, ON, Karli fell in love with music as a child, singing in her church’s choir, at local fairs and singing competitions. During her teens she began writing songs in earnest, studied piano, taught herself guitar, and took every opportunity to perform live during school concerts, in musical theatre productions, and at the local pub.

Karli is currently in the studio writing and recording new music with industry heavyweights including hit song-writer Deric Ruttan (Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Dierks Bentley) and producer Gavin Slate (Mickey Guyton, Meghan Patrick, Tim Hicks, The Reklaws, James Barker Band).

Brooke Harvey flies in with new single, Little Bird.

“Little bird, little bird when you cry, cry, cry, are you lonesome as the sky?”

Bluegrass influences, alt-country, Americana and the backing vocals of Kasey Chambers, all merge in harmony on Brooke Harvey’s new single, ‘Little Bird’.

The second single off ‘Home’, her forthcoming album, ‘Little Bird’ arrives in the footsteps of her debut single, ‘Southern Sky’.

The NSW Mid-North Coast singer-songwriter said many of the songs from the album were written over quite an extended period.

Love lost, love found, the arrival of her children and the crazy Covid times, all contributed to delay her album’s release.

“Little Bird was written some time back and I wrote the song from a perspective of someone dying or the little bird being a metaphor of life,” she said. “I do love birds , so used them as the metaphor in the song.”

Brooke said ‘Little Bird’ “wrote itself very quickly” and now that she was setting it free into the world, she wanted, most of all, for listeners to enjoy it.

“I would love listeners to get something from it on an emotional level and, of course, for people to enjoy my music when they hear it,” she said.

This will be final single before the release of ‘Home’, Brooke’s album, in May.

“I believe ‘Southern Sky’ and now ‘Little Bird’ are indicative of the sound of the album as all the songs are in that vein: they’ve got quite a traditional country feel. I didn’t particularly target a ‘sound, it just kind of fit,” she said.

The feel of the songs is no surprise, as the Bulahdelah artist is heavily influenced by Lucinda Williams, Lori McKenna, and Justin Townes Earl.

“I love all music, but my style has always remained country singer-songwriter and Americana vibe and bluegrass – those traditional styles.”

Five-time Golden Guitar nominee Jayne Denham releases her new single ‘Moonshine,’ featuring American singer, rapper, and songwriter Colt Ford. As one of Australia’s most admired and sought-after country western rock performers, Jayne brings listeners a storytelling anthem that takes you on a journey of love, loss, fight, and glory. Australia’s leading country artist Jayne Denham releases ‘Moonshine’ as her new album’s title track and debut single.

Written by Colin Elmore, Cameron Jaymes, and Melissa Pierce, and produced by Grammy-nominated songwriters and producers Brian Bunn and Brian White, ‘Moonshine’ is a song with danceable melodies, wrapped in a love story, that will entice audiences globally. Hailing from down under, Jayne says, “When I first heard ‘Moonshine,’ I knew it was the perfect fit for me, and I could immediately hear exactly how I wanted to sing it. Colt Ford is the perfect addition for the direction of the song, and to have him featured on it was the piece of the puzzle that fit so seamlessly.”

The creative lyricism accompanied by Jayne’s powerhouse vocals and Colt Ford’s lyrical additions, ‘Girl when I give you this kiss, like moonshine hitting your lips’ makes this single a standout track with undeniable talent interwoven between an Aussie and American singer.

Colt Ford says, “Being featured on Jayne’s new song ‘Moonshine’ is a true honor as well as bringing more of my music to the Australian country scene. Country roots run deep, and the spirit of the countryside can be found in every corner of the world, where hardworking and down-to-earth people come together to create community.” The lyrics are a true representation of said talent, with classic country roots intermixed into the rendition and liquor theme of the record.

“I am not the type of artist to write many love songs, but when I heard ‘Moonshine,’ I knew if I was to write a love song, this was it,” adds Jayne. Jayne continues to expand her artistic repertoire with this epic single collaboration involving overseas counterparts that marks one of the biggest milestones in her career.

To accompany the single release of ‘Moonshine,’ Jayne has partnered with Franklin County Distillery, located in the mountains of Virginia, known as the “Moonshine Capital of the World,” to release her own line of two different flavoured moonshines, Ridge Runner Pear and Orchard Peach.

Jayne’s 5th album, ‘Wanted,’ came out of the gate firing all the bullets, reaching No. 1 on the ARIA Australian Country Album chart and No. 2 on the Air Australian Indie chart after Jimmy Barns. The album also landed Jayne 2x Golden Guitar Award nominations for Female Artist of the Year, and Contemporary Album of the Year. ‘Wanted’ led Jayne to define the foundation and essence of her brand, which electrifies costume attire and custom-made leather accessories by Buffalo Girl designer Terry Cronin. Denham has scored four No. 1 smash hits in Australia, six Top 10 songs in the National Country Charts, 12 Top 30 videos, and six Country Music Channel (CMC) nominations.

The ever-evolving story of Kingswood births a new chapter with the release of their long-awaited new studio album, “HOME”.

Having teased the record in recent months with dynamic singles including “Good Whiskey”, “Burning Holes” and “One Too Many Times”, Kingswood set it up early that this album would feature the band’s most cohesive and representative material to date.

Incorporating myriad sonic influences and a reinvigorated approach to their musicianship, “HOME ” is more than just another step forward for the ARIA and APRA nominated group – it is a realisation of the last few years of tireless work and exploration of new sounds.

Title track “Home” also serves as the album opener – a perfect way to set the tone of the record to follow. Like previous singles, “Home” lets the songwriting dynamic of Alex Laska and Fergus Linacre shine; open lyricism meeting deft musicality at every turn.

“Home is an age-old tale of young love being forced to broach the harsh face of life, a duality of which we all contend with at some point”.

“Old roots meet new, whereby the branching can create opprobrious chasms. These chasms however lead to repair, growth, flourishing, the cycle of the ever blossoming flower, the very fuel of life itself, where all beginnings have an end, and appropriately all ends have a beginning. Home can represent a place in time and space or it can be the very moment, the air that allows one to breathe life into consciousness. It’s the rising sun of the album, a sonic manifestation of Kingswood’s own new dawn.” – Alex Laska, Kingswood

Recorded on a ranch in Wongawallan, QLD at Fallguy Studios, “HOME” saw Kingswood work with Nashville based engineer Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlisle) on final mixing and mastering; putting the final touches on this musically rich 12-track body of work.

The elevation of the band’s sound – from the “Microscopic Wars” era through to “After Hours, Close To Dawn” and more recently, “Juveniles” – threads beautifully throughout “HOME”. Tales of sorrow meet stories of late night recklessness. An undistilled passion springs forth from this record; whether it’s in the sonic builds of tracks like “Mother Did Say” and “Movin’ On”, or the way emotional nuance strikes on “God & Gun” and “Riches”.

Kingswood retained the grit without losing the heart of the music with “HOME”; for the band, this was a record that was a necessity for them to make.

“A renaissance of all that ever fuelled the Kingswood machine. The album was born of necessity in a time where the human condition was put on trial and out of the ashes grew the phoenix that we call ‘Home’. What originally began as an escapist experiment; a veil of fiction that was created to alleviate a lack of social interaction and observation, bore the spirit of truth, wrapped in a marvellous mythology that was created by us and embodied our innermost thoughts and feelings.

“Home represents the pillars that make this band what it is and embodies everything that makes us powerful and whole. Step into a world, created for us to accompany lament, joy, sorrow, love, yearning, anger, passion and above all hope. Call it what you will, Home is a burgeoning of guitars, harmony, reckless abandon with sheer will at the steering wheel, reflecting the beautiful surrounds of ranch life at the base of Mount Tamborine, with a good dose of good whiskey and a home away from home in Nasvhille, Tennessee to provide the finishing touch.” – Kingswood

The release of “HOME ” follows on from a successful return to touring for Kingswood. The band spent a large portion of 2022 touring their acclaimed third studio record “Juveniles” (and it’s inspired companion album, “Reveries”) internationally; completing a 30+ date tour that took Kingswood to crowds in Nashville, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland and Czechoslovakia before bringing them home to Melbourne.

2023 has already begun in a massive way for the band, as they currently take their music around Australia on a record breaking 120+ date tour. Customising their own tour bus for the journey, KINGSWOOD are traversing each corner of the country, rolling into town with their electric live show, ready to burn. With tour dates set to take them through into June

Iowa native, Hailey Whitters is returning to her roots with the release of her third studio album “Raised”, which was inspired by her Midwestern hometown and the formative years she spent there.

The latest single off her recent album “Plain Jane” will give you a very clear picture of Hailey and who she is.

Written by Hailey along with Cary Barlowe and Hillary Lindsey, there are some great lyrics that portray her as an imperfect human who has a lot of flaws, yet one who has learned to own them and use it to her advantage in a way.

ABOUT HAILEY WHITTERS:

This Iowa-born, Nashville-based rising country star scored her breakthrough moment in 2020 with the release of her self-funded debut album “The Dream”, which was praised as “the year’s deepest country album” (The Washington Post) and went on to appear on more than 15 year-end best of lists including #1 on both Stereogum’s “10 Best Country Albums of 2020” and Garden & Gun’s “Best Southern Albums of 2020” list. The subsequent deluxe album “Living The Dream” found Whitters’ self-fulfilling “The Dream’s” prophecy and enlisting her friends and collaborators Brent Cobb, Jordan Davis, Hillary Lindsey, Lori McKenna, Little Big Town, and Trisha Yearwood to appear on five new songs, leading NPR’s Fresh Air to call her “one of the most interesting voices in country music.” In 2021 alone, Whitters toured with Luke Combs and Midland, was named the inaugural Opry NextStage Artist of the year, scored her first CMT Music Award nomination for Breakthrough Video of the Year (“Fillin’ My Cup” feat.

Nashville-native singer-songwriter ERNEST had a record year after dropping his first full-length album ” FLOWER SHOPS (THE ALBUM)” to critical acclaim in March 2022, which saw him earn his fifth, sixth, and seventh #1’s as a songwriter while his debut single “Flower Shops” feat. Morgan Wallen simultaneously reached RIAA platinum certification.

Building upon the project and recognized as a top release of the year by Holler. and The Tennessean, ERNEST adds 13 more original songs to the collection “filled with retro country truth and relentless heartbreak” (Taste of Country).

“I can’t wait for everyone to hear the new music,” shares ERNEST. “It’s even more of the real, honest storytelling that the album was built on, and continues the character’s love story right where it left off with ‘Some Other Bar.’ It’s very reflective, I think everyone will be able to relate to a part of the story in some way. I’m really proud of it!”

The lyrical innovator creates a playful poetic, almost nursery-rhyme-like melody on his new single “Miss That Girl”. Featuring an up-tempo beat with a lot of poetic-refrain style lyrics. The verses are mostly acoustic guitar, as the narrator calls on some of his vices to help him through a heart wrenching break up and keep him from “missing that girl.”

Resuming his role as the tragic hero, “Miss That Girl” is accompanied by a video directed by Justin Clough with a treatment conceptualized by his wife, acclaimed creative Delaney Royer, the video was shot in Columbia, Tennessee and gives life to the track that yearns for relief from heartbreak.
