Kelsey shows grit and determination to make moving to Nashville her next strategic move in her music career.
Kelsey and I talk in depth about moving from Boston to Nashville and how she keeps up her musical relationships with artists she’s connected with while at Berkley College of Music. Her critical connection with Poindexter allows her to maintain a long distance music creation relationship and continue to put out new music and new music videos with his help.
In this episode we talk about her band members and the making of the music videos “505” and “Sway.” Plus, she has a pre-save giveaway for those who pre-save Sway!

GRAMMY® Award-winning singer-songwriter John Berry has re-released his music video, “All Come Together,” co-written with award-winning songwriter Chuck Jones. In an attempt to support relief efforts for those affected by the recent flooding and displacements caused by Hurricane Helene. Berry gathered an impressive lineup of friends, including Keb’ Mo’, Collin Raye, John Oates, Casey James, Bryan White, John Cowan, Darin and Brooke Aldridge, Heidi Newfield (Trick Pony), Dave Innis and Paul Gregg (Restless Heart), and Mike Farris, to join him in recording the uplifting track. Produced by Jeff Moseley of CJM Productions, the video is part of a broader awareness campaign to raise funds and provide relief for storm and flood victims, with support for Samaritan’s Purse and other relief organizations. “All Come Together” was featured by Cowboys & Indians and will air on The Heartland Network, The Family Channel, Right Now TV, The Country Network, American Country Network, and more.
“The needs of so many and the loss caused by Hurricane Helene is heartbreaking,”shares Berry. “My friends and I recorded this song a few years ago to help during a crisis then and it is as relevant today as it was the day we wrote it. There are many that want to help but don’t always know how. At the end of the video there are verified organizations that will responsibly get resources to those in need. Anything is possible when we all come together.”

Southbound 75’s single, “Not Ready To Say I’m Sorry Yet.” is part of the forthcoming Bill McDermott produced album ‘Tales From The Black Swamp’ out Fall, 2020.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Alt-country rockers Southbound 75’s new video for their recently released debut single “Not Ready To Say I’m Sorry Yet” exclusively premieres today on The Country Network (TCN). The catchy, hook-driven country rock tune was written by lead singer Mark Lorenzo, with the audio recorded and produced by hit-making Nashville producer Bill McDermott (Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, George Strait). The video was produced and directed by Josh Sikkema, and is also watchable on the Tampa-based quartet’s YouTube page.
“This video really captured the point of the song,” said Lorenzo. “All the metaphorical signs are pointing to exactly what he should do, but the guy just keeps only seeing what he wants.”
“Not Ready To Say I’m Sorry Yet” introduces songwriter Mark Lorenzo’s ability to craft a cleverly written song about dealing with the immediate personal feelings born out of heartbreak, an established theme at the very core of many great country & rock songs. The song is set to appear on their forthcoming debut album Tales From The Black Swamp, also produced by McDermott, due out Fall, 2020.

About Southbound 75:
Southbound 75’s story started when Radio Promotion legend Bill Scull heard lead songwriter Mark Lorenzo’s tune “Little Breakdown” for the first time at an ASCAP demo review session. Scull, who had worked in the industry for years, including with Clive Davis, singled him out, and signed Mark to his label, EO Records.
Southbound 75 played their first show in December 2018 and have steadily made a name for themselves, having toured throughout their home state of Florida, and throughout the Midwest. They will release their debut album, Tales From The Black Swamp, in the Fall of 2020 by Roxy Entertainment Group.
Lorenzo’s songs have been used on TV shows, sports programming, DVDs, Cartoons and more such as; “ESPN College Football;” “Shark” (CBS); “90210” (CW); “Threshold” (CBS); “Girlfriends” (CW) and “3lbs” on (CBS).
