AvA Releases Official Music Video – Break Free

AvA Break Free (Official Music Video)

AvA has released their official music video for their track, Break Free. This heart pounding tune will be sure to rock your socks off and leave you barefooted in a cave. At least that’s what I think. If you were stuck in a cave, who would you like to be stuck with? This femme fatal finds her way to the pulse pounding beats of AvA’s Break Free inside Cumberland Caverns.

That’s right. This video was shot right here in middle TN at Cumberland Caverns. It was the perfect location for this song. Up and coming director Jacob Porter envisioned an escape from a dark place and made this shoot happen alongside cinematographer Jason R. Coleman (owner/operator of Nashville Rocks) and Joe Rohaley and his helpful crew most of which were associated with N.F.A.M.

Please check out the video and share it as much as you can to help us promote it socially! To find out more about AvA, check out their Facebook here –>https://www.facebook.com/officialava

Natalie Stovall and The Drive at Music in the City 2014

January 8, 2014 Leave a comment

Note from Nashville Rocks: Natalie Stovall and the Drive appearing at Music In The City by Nashville Lifestyles Magazine. I’m so excited for Natalie, having worked with her in the past in another capacity. She is truly an amazing musician and worth going out to see. Check out this article and make sure to get your tickets to support this great band!

Natalie Stovall and The Drive

Show-stopping singer Natalie Stovall’s high-energy, take-no-prisoners live performances and relentless, barnstorming global tours have earned her the attention she deserves from those who matter the most to her — the fans. Natalie has been playing professionally since she was ten, and by the time she graduated high school she had already performed everywhere from the Grand Ole Opry to the Oprah Winfrey Show. And since she put her first band together in 2007 while studying at Berklee, things have really taken off as they are wrapping up their debut album with famed producer Paul Worley (Dixie Chicks/Lady Antebellum/Big & Rich).

Stovall, a Tennessee native, has amassed more than 200 dates each year across college campuses, clubs and military bases around the globe. In 2012, she won the coveted Campus Activities Magazine Entertainer of the Year Award, marking the first time a female performer has received the honor in more than 20 years. The Drive includes band members James Bavendam, Joel Dormer, Zach Morse and Miguel Cancino. Blending country/roots background with a strong rock sensibility, Natalie Stovall and the Drive’s fiddle-shredding shows are bred for wide audiences, and this year that mainstream popularity is paying off in a big way with a record deal and a new album on the way.

Keep watching as we’ll be announcing each Music in the City artist over the next two weeks.

Artist Showcase – June 2013 – Alexes Aiken

June 12, 2013 Leave a comment

Nashville Rocks Artist Showcase – Alexes Aiken

In this months Nashville Rocks Artist Showcase, we present Alexes Aiken. As a 17-year-old country-pop sensation, Alexes Aiken has been showing off both her musician skills and her songwriting capabilities this year, and it has not gone unnoticed. The new member of the Country Music Association (CMA) is a New Orleans native, but, as Nashville-based producer Jonell Polansky describes, she “sings like she was born on the Opry stage.”

After releasing her debut self-titled album in December 2012, Alexes kicked off 2013 by accepting awards and getting together a band to complement her vocals. Alexes earned the title of Future Star Female Vocalist of the Year in the 17- to 20- year age group at the North America Country Music Associations, International (NACMAI). NACMAI also awarded her with the honor of Songwriter of the Year for New Gospel for her song “Note on the Mirror” and Co-Songwriter of the Year for New Country for her song “Best in Me.” Both of these original songs are on her debut album. After months of practice, Alexes and her band had their first public performance together on Saturday, May 11 at the Cajun Fest Volunteer Party in Marrero, La.

As Alexes becomes more successful, both in the Nashville and New Orleans music industry, she is also giving back through her music. She has partnered with the National Military Family Association (NMFA), an organization that raises money for veterans and their families, including education funds and financial support for injured veterans. This is a cause particularly close to Alexes’ heart, coming from a veteran family. “I’m super excited about this partnership because of my family involvement in the military with my paternal grandfather as a World War II veteran,” she says. She has decided to donate 10 percent of digital sales of her remake, “These Boots are Made for Walkin’” to the cause.

Alexes continues to improve her live presentation and play in Nashville more and more. Alexes and her entire band will appear together at the Flood City Music Festival in Johnstown, Pa. on Saturday,
