Derek Ryan and a Cuppuccino

Sitting down with Derek Line inside a Belmont area coffee shop (Bongo Java), I learn about his ability to create and mix at will in his own bedroom as well as collaborations with other artists through the digital ether.

Nashville Rocks: So the Glass EP. Did you cut it here in town or by yourself? Are you an engineer?

Derek Ryan: That one was completed done in my bedroom apartment studio. It was pretty awesome. I played all the guitar parts and the vocals I collaborated with some friends and we did some production and arranging. The drummer went to his house and recorded the drums, the bassist went to his house and recorded the bass. They sent it all to me. I recorded my parts and got to Read more →

Super Country Cowboy Doug Briney Talks Horses and Music

Nashville Rocks: Package Doug Briney into an elevator speech…

Doug Briney: The best way to describe Doug Briney, stealing from Willie Robertson and how the Robertson family prioritizes their lives as faith, family and ducks, so for Doug Briney it’s Faith, Family and Music. That gives you a real good picture.

NR: It’s not really stealing, it’s more like borrowing…

DB: Plagiarizing that’s it. Changing it a little bit.

NR: Changing it to protect the innocent…

DB: Change it, but I do give credit…

Dierks Bentley Sets His Life to Song on Riser

Dierks Bentley Releases Riser

Any successful career requires time away from home. No one knows that better than Dierks Bentley. And few artists are as willing to share what this means in song, as Bentley does on his most personal album to date, Riser.

The overall theme of Riser is discovery and allowing fans a more intimate glimpse into Bentley. To that end, his manager, Mary Hilliard Harrington, suggested he make a documentary of his life and the things he was going through.

“We could hear that in the music, from the first songs he turned in from the first writing sessions,” she said. “I knew early on that this was going to be more of an album project in a singles-driven world and that we would need to tell the story of the entire project in order for the fans to truly understand and appreciate it. I hope the documentary helps do that.” Read more →

Brett Eldredge Hits New Heights – New Artist Spotlight – CMA Close Up Interview

September 15, 2014 Leave a comment

Brett Eldredge opened the biggest year of his career in 2013

With a chart-topping smash, “Don’t Ya” (written by Eldredge, Chris DeStefano and Ashley Gorley). He also toured with Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift, and has made numerous media appearances, including atop a float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

But success wasn’t quick in coming to the hard-working artist. His first single, “Raymond” (Eldredge and Truman Bradley Crisler), a heartfelt song about an elderly woman with Alzheimer’s, was released to critical acclaim but mediocre chart achievement. When a second single failed to reach the Top 40, he decided to pause, regroup and ultimately work even harder to make his Read more →
