Flat River Band featuring The Oak Ridge Boys – Leaving Louisiana In The Broad Daylight

Flat River Band consists of three brothers Andy, Chad and Dennijo Sitze. 

The brothers would hurry home each day to enjoy reruns of The Dukes of Hazzard. One day, as they watched Rosco’s speed trap antics in Hazard County, The Oak Ridge Boys took the stage at the Boar’s Nest. It was during this performance that the brothers first heard the song “Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight.” This experience marked a pivotal moment for the Flat River Band, bringing their journey full circle.

Indoor Garden Party- Save Me

RUSSELL CROWE’S INDOOR GARDEN PARTY ANNOUNCE ONE-NIGHT-ONLY SHOWAT THE ENMORE THEATRE ON SATURDAY 20 DECEMBER  
What is INDOOR GARDEN PARTY?It is a band.An Event.A celebration!
Having performed all over the world from Glastonbury Festival to Rome’s Colosseum in 2024, Russell Crowe’s Indoor Garden Party will play just one show in 2025 – an intimate performance at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre alongside special guests BRAKE,  Marcia Hines, Troy Cassar-Daley, Lorraine O’Reilly and Danielle Spencer.When asked what the audience should expect, Crowe replies enigmatically, “Stories, songs, and surprises”, delivered via an  eclectic mix of rock, blues, country and gospel,  original songs, covers and collaborations. You can see the grandeur of these performances when watching Russell Crowe’s Indoor Garden Party  perform ‘Save Me’ live in Siena: the beautifully shot gospel style music video for ‘ Let Your Light Shine featuring Marcia Hines: . Their upcoming performance at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre promises more of the same but in an incredibly intimate setting for those lucky enough to be in the room. First brought to life in 2009 on a rainy night in a tent outside a London pub owned by legendary talk show host Michael Parkinson, the Indoor Garden Party is the music and live performance vehicle of Academy Award winner Russell Crowe. Though Crowe has been releasing music since 1982, Indoor Garden Party are only two albums into their career, having released 2017’s The Musical and more recently 2024’s Prose and Cons. Earlier this year, Crowe also released a duet with Italian legend Zucchero,  of the Eddie Vedder song ‘ Just Breathe’, and performed two concerts with him at Rome’s Circo Massimo.Crowe’s ease with audiences and his ability to connect drives every show to a foot-stomping crescendo, with UK press describing Crowe as  “Every inch the rock star” and “The perfect front man” after his spectacular performance at Glastonbury last year. Because of his intense work schedule on his day job, carving time out for music takes a good deal of planning. 2023 and 2024 saw Indoor Garden Party play a bunch of shows at home in Australia, but also tour to Italy, France, Malta, Czech Republic, Ireland, UK and USA, with the band stacking up performances at legendary venues. Whether it be the The Whiskey a Go-Go in Los Angeles, Tipitina’s in New Orleans, Gaiety Theatre in Dublin, the Colosseum in Rome, La Cigale in Paris, the ancient amphitheatre in Pompeii, or 12,000 people crammed into Piazza del Campo in Siena, the shows have been epic. 2025 has just one show, Saturday 20 December at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney. One of the traditions of Indoor Garden Party shows is the eclectic guests that get up and perform with the band, and this show will be no exception. From the USA, indie rock superstar in the making, BRAKE, whose pop driven rock songs flash around  social media sites like TikTok, is on the bill. His track ‘ Cigarettes and Black Lipstick Stains’ has 4M listens on Spotify alone.  Golden Guitar legend Troy Cassar-Daley, queen of soul Marcia Hines, and Ireland’s Lorraine O’Reilly will be guests on the night, and the show will open with Danielle Spencer performing new material, including her recent ‘ Regenerate’ single.Coming off the back of last year’s tour which covered 6 countries and 60,000km, there were initially big plans for shows in 2025. However, the year has turned monumental in Crowe’s day job. By the time the Enmore Theatre show rolls around, Crowe will have completed 6 feature films in 12 months, something he has never done before, and the titles are already generating buzz and high anticipation.Upcoming films include Nuremberg with Rami Malek, Michael Shannon & Leo Woodall (Worldwide release November 7), the Australian production Beast in Me with Dan McPherson and Amy Shark in her feature film debut, Bear Country with Luke Evans and Teresa Palmer, Billion Dollar Spy with Harry Lawtey, UNABOMB with Jacob Tremblay, The Weight with Ethan Hawke, and the hotly awaited Highlander remake with Henry Cavill. Now, to cap off what has been an extraordinary year of filmmaking, Crowe looks forward to a big Sydney hometown send off at the Enmore Theatre on Saturday 20 December where you can exclusively catch Indoor Garden Party at their only show this year.On this special one-off event, Russell Crowe says “I’m really looking forward to this concert. It has been a little frustrating having to put some music things aside for the day job as the year has gone on, but you won’t hear me complaining. In my profession, too much work is a bonus. For the band, this gig will be like a celebration. A heavy work year behind us, one big blow out to finish the year will be so much fun. It’ll be like the Christmas show you go to when you don’t really want to go to a Christmas show. It’s not official, but I’m pretty sure we will have a ‘no reindeer’ policy on the night.”

Vincent Mason – Damned If I Do

RISING COUNTRY ARTIST VINCENT MASON RELEASES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED “DAMNED IF I DO” 
Touring with Riley Green, Jordan Davis, and Luke Bryan This Summer and Fall
Interscope/MCA Nashville/Music Soup songwriter and artist Vincent Mason turns up the emotional heat this summer with his newest release, “ Damned If I Do: Mason doesn’t just sing about heartbreak; he lives in it, which allows him to curate a song that sounds more like a journal entry than a record.Written by Vincent with Jacob Hackworth and Lauren Hungate, the trio concoct a country confessional anchored by an unforgettable hook. He continues to carve out his place as one of the most compelling voices in the country music scene. “Coming off of my first year of touring, I wanted something different musically that I could look forward to playing every night, shares Mason. “I wrote it with Lauren Hungate and Jacob Hackworth, two of my favourite writers in town. This song is one of my favourite moments on the new record, and I’m sure it will be one of my favourites on the road.”Mason spent most of 2025 so far on his first-ever headlining run, the Hell Is A Dance Floor Tour, which sold out in presale and expanded with a second leg due to overwhelming demand. He’ll stay on the road throughout the year, joining Riley Green, Luke Bryan, Jordan Davis, and Parker McCollum as an opener on select dates, while also hitting major festivals across the country, before heading to Australia in 2026 to perform at CMC Rocks

Wattmore – Canadian Whiskey

Wattmore – Canadian Whiskey – too honest for PR, perfect for radio!
If you’re looking for safe, skip this email.Wattmore’s Canadian Whiskey is the kind of track that crawls out of your speakers, steals your drink, and starts an argument you secretly agree with. 
In two weeks it’s gone;#1 on Latin American PlayMPE,#9 on the Australian Country Music Top 10#33 on the Australian Country Songs Airplay ChartIt has landed squarely on the radar of stations who prefer their country with a little combustion.Written by Aiden and Kai with Allan Caswell, produced by Lindsay Waddington, it’s country that remembered its manners just long enough to get through the door.

Critics are still deciding what to call it:“It’s country but not quite. It’s punk but not exactly … it’s Wattmore.” – Foxfire“Classic country on the surface until the punk undertones punch through.” – Miles Coleman“A perfect blend of bourbon-soaked Americana vibes and old-school country with amodern edge.” – The Other Side Reviews

Every line drips humour and humanity; every hook lands harder than expected. It’s reckless, real, and impossible to unhear — which explains the charts. Add it. Spin it. Blame us later.Who Are Wattmore?Wattmore are two brothers who communicate almost entirely through guitar solos, sarcasm, and eye rolls sharp enough to cut glass. They’re awkward like suddenly forgetting how pockets work to somehow stumbling into brilliance while looking like they took a wrong turn at common sense. 
Their songs are loaded with grit, mischief, and emotional sucker punches disguised as choruses. Expect dry humour, zero small talk, and the kind of honesty that makes PR departments break out in hives
