Tebey & Tenille Arts – Hangover At My Place

Two of Nashville’s standout Canadian talents, platinum-selling artist Tebey and multi-award winner Tenille Arts, unite for a captivating new duet, “Hangover At My Place.” Available now for streaming via Jayward Artist Group / The Orchard, the song was penned by a team of renowned Canadian writers including Tebey, Danick Dupelle, Griffen Palmer and Stu Walker (of The Reklaws).

The classic call-and-response track seamlessly blends Tebey and Tenille’s vocals, creating a captivating interplay between the sweeping chorus and irresistible harmonies. This dynamic collaboration exudes the electric chemistry of a chance late-night encounter described in the lyrics, evolving into an unforgettable night that resonates long after the final note.

On the creative process, Tebey shares, “I wrote this song with a really great group of writers. It took a few hours of tossing around song ideas before we eventually settled on the title ‘Hangover At My Place’. Initially we didn’t intend to write it as a duet, but once the chorus melody started to take shape, we thought it could be cool to have a male and female call and answer type chorus, which you don’t really hear much anymore.” On deciding who to collaborate on the track, he explains, ” I remember saying to my co-writers the day we wrote the song… ‘You know who would sound killer on this? Tenille Arts!’ So, I was really excited when she agreed to sing it with me several months later.”

“The first time I heard the song I was so excited. It felt like a throwback duet but also current and I was honoured that Tebey thought of me,” Tenille shares. “They did such a great job of writing a back-and-forth style song that really captures the rush of a night out and meeting someone new. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”

The collaboration follows an explosive year for Tebey with the release of his viral country rendition of The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights .” The cover took social media by storm when Tebey released a short clip on his channels, which led to over 13 million views in one week. His unique country twist on the acclaimed, record-breaking pop song rapidly captured the attention of users worldwide, leading to the official DSP release in a matter of days, and has since garnered over 14.5 million streams (audio & video) and over 75 million impressions across social platforms.

With his global appeal firmly established, Tebey is gearing up for a cycle of new, original music to share with fans. For more information about Tebey and new music, be sure to follow Tebey across platforms or visit www.tebeyofficial.com.

This release will coincide with his performance at Australia’s largest country music festival, CMC Rocks; and separate headline album launch show dates in March 2025.

As Travis discusses, “When I started thinking about recording this new album, I was searching for a fresh and different approach to anything I’d done before. It seemed ironic and crazy to me that I’d never actually recorded or ‘created’ music with the people who’ve played the most music with me, for most of my career – my touring band. That realisation floored me, curiosity immediately turned to creative excitement. ‘The Band Album’ was born.

In many ways, it felt like I was recording my first album. There was an entirely new energy, creativity, and enthusiasm that really shines through on this album. I hold the songs, the memories of creating them, and the entire experience very close to my heart. I can’t wait for people to hear it.”

To celebrate the announce, Travis releases the third single from the new studio album, ‘Good Thing Comin’. This single is the follow up to the previously released tracks, ‘Different Dreams’ and ‘Don’t Get Me Started’. Recorded with Jared Adlam in his Queensland studio, Travis describes the track, “Holding on for a ‘good thing coming’ is something that gets most of us through life. That sense or feel that something great is around the next bend or over the next hill. Sometimes, that hope itself is more important than the actual thing you’re hoping for.”

Launching his career in 2004 as a Toyota Starmaker winner, Travis Collins has had an incredible journey in country music. With nine albums released to date, he hit new highs with his 2023 album, ‘Any Less Anymore’. That release became the highest charting Australian country album of 2023, debuting at #3 on the ARIA All-Genre Album chart and #1 on the ARIA Country Album chart.

The nine-time Golden Guitar Award winner (including 3 x Male Artist of the Year), four-time CMC Award winner and CMA Global Artist Award winner, he’s toured alongside US megastars Tim McGraw and Luke Combs and his catalogue has amassed over forty million streams.

Sometimes life blindsides you in the best way possible.”

Produced by long-time collaborator and multi-award winner, Matt Fell, the recording process was both lucrative and tranquil. “Having previously worked together on the last 3 albums, I feel like we’re on the same page now more than ever. I love being able to get down to his new studio, Wilder Studios, in remote Tasmania. It feels like you’re a million miles away from the real world and you can really focus on the recording process.”

With a video clip that features the singer’s childhood home and his real-life partner, Simone, the song exudes an authenticity that can’t be manufactured. Shot by Jeremy Minnett of Eyes and Ears Creative, the clip combines breathtaking scenery with a clearly elated Andrew Swift.

And God knows I don’t wanna leave
But I can’t stay in Abilene, Oh no (DiLuigi/Martin/Manna/Warner)

Recorded at Blackbird Studio in Nashville and produced by LuckySky Music’s Bill Warner, the track features prominent Music City A-list players Russ Pahl (steel guitar), Mike Brignardello (bass), Tim McDonald (piano), Bill Warner (nylon guitar), Jeff King and Rob McNelly (electric guitar), Pat McGrath (acoustic guitar), and Steve Brewster (drums). Matt Singleton and Kirsti Manna added the background vocals. For Warner, it is one of his favorite productions. He says, “Tori is an authentic country singer that transcends her years on this song, and I love how she launches into the chorus. The heart-tugging descending minor chords and the baritone guitar solo are incredible mood setters.”

Martin recalls writing the song in 2022 with Bill DiLuigi, Kirsti Manna and Bill Warner. “I was on a radio tour, and we were all in the car heading to Abilene. I remember saying to them, ‘I can’t stay in Abilene because the wind makes me crazy,’ and from there the ideas started flowing.”

Currently, Tori is busy writing songs and spending time in the studio with producer Warner. In February, she will film the companion music video for “Abilene” and attend CRS. For the latest news go to Tori’s official website, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X (Twitter) and YouTube.

ABOUT TORI

Born in sunny Ft. Walton Beach, Florida this military brat lived in several states before landing in Azle, Texas at the age of seven. She spent most of her life just outside of the Dallas/Fort Worth area where she began singing in the local church choir. She cut her teeth on classics from Johnny Cash and Tammy Wynette, courtesy of her grandfather “Paw-Paw,” and by the age of 14 she was performing at opry houses all over Texas. In 2014, Renegade Radio Nashville named her one of the “New Faces of Country.” Martin competed on Season 14 of ABC TV’s American Idol but departed the show in the Hollywood round. Taking all her experiences and a big dose of courage, Tori moved to Nashville in 2017. It didn’t take long before the talented singer/songwriter found herself co-writing with some of the city’s most famous tunesmiths, and it’s a path that has felt blessed from the start. A chance meeting at a mixer led to her working with producer Bill Warner and she signed to the Nashville based indie label, LuckySky Music shortly thereafter. Now, the two creatives are carving a path that is uniquely her own. With single releases like “What Would Dolly Do,” “Steppin’ In It” and “Lucky,” which reached #42 on the Billboard Indicator chart, Tori’s modern traditional Country sound is steeped in her roots as a true-blue Texan singer. Her recent single, “Lost In The Country,” reached #1 on the Texas Regional Radio Report, Top 25 on the CDXTraction Texas Chart and Top 15 on their True Indie Chart. She released the seasonal, “Warm For December” in November. Tori was named one of the “Future Faces” of 2024 at the TRRR Music Awards, and she recently toured with Drew Baldridge on select dates of his Fall 2024 tour. When she is not on the road, Tori enjoys antiquing, decorating and spending time with her husband and their two golden retrievers, Duke and Daisy, and French bulldog, Lucky.

Zach Top – I Never Lie

Hailed by Rolling Stone as one of the “hottest acts right now,” Zach Top is in the midst of a breakout year following the release of his acclaimed debut album, Cold Beer & Country Music. Produced by Carson Chamberlain, the album has landed on several “Best of 2024” lists so far including Rolling Stone, Billboard and The New York Times, who praises, “the music is airtight and fluent-a demonstration of vivid colouring within hard lines.”

Known for his “thrilling” (Holler) live performances, Top recently wrapped an extensive run with Lainey Wilson and will kick off his “Cold Beer & Country Music” headline tour in January. The highly anticipated trek, which includes two nights at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, sold out just hours after tickets went on sale. The CMA Award-nominee has also shared stages with notable artists such as Billy Strings, Dierks Bentley and Luke Bryan, and will join Alan Jackson for select upcoming shows.

Widely respected by his peers, Top also recently collaborated with Billy Strings for an exclusive Apple Music Nashville Sessions three-song EP, which is available now.

Raised in Sunnyside, WA, Top grew up on classic country music around the family farm. At the age of seven, he formed a bluegrass band with his siblings, which set the stage for his future musical ambitions.

Max McNown – Better Me For You (Brown Eyes)

Today, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Max McNown announced his sophomore album Night Diving (out January 24, 2025 via Fugitive Recordings x The Orchard) alongside the release of his introspective single “Better Me For You (Brown Eyes).”

Following the release of “Hotel Bible,” the introspective new single boasts earnest lyrics that offer a personal reflection on rising to the occasion for a once-in-a-lifetime love. The song’s protagonist has just met the girl of his dreams, “but it’s more than just her alluring brown eyes that captivate him,” shares Max. “She imbues goodness and, above all, has a “heart of gold.”

Both tracks are part of the stunning Night Diving LP, which is McNown’s promising follow-up to his critically-acclaimed debut album Wandering. Produced by Jamie Kenney (Colbie Caillat, Laci Kaye Booth), Night Diving is a body of work that explores new and daring sonic terrain while fully affirming McNown’s extraordinary capacity to ease the mind and strengthen the soul. In an exclusive feature revealing McNown as Country Rookie of the Month, Billboard says, “The new music centers on his poetic, observational writing style, while adding polish to his personally-crafted songs.” Read the full interview here.

Just last month, McNown was also featured as CMT’s Next Up Now featured artist as we saw the release of his Willfully Blind EP, which landed as the Oregon-born artist made his Americana Fest debut, and as we saw another major resurgence of his breakout hit single “A Lot More Free” after this TikTok celebrating the track’s one year anniversary went viral (14.7M views and counting). Since the single’s release it has amassed over 80M+ streams, earned McNown a top spot as #1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart, peaked at #1 on the iTunes singles chart and #1 on the TikTok Breakthrough USA chart, climbed the Canadian Hot 100 chart , and was placed on Spotify’s Hot Country and Viral 50 global playlists.

At 23, McNown has already been on a storied musical journey. Taking control of his future, overcoming personal challenges, and drawing inspiration from his brother who was bravely fighting cancer, McNown packed his bags and drove from remote Oregon to Southern California. From there, videos of him busking on a pier made an impact online and eventually grew into a legion of supporters on TikTok (currently has 1.9M followers). After attracting interest from major TV talent shows, McNown auditioned for one and then decided it wasn’t for him and gracefully turned them down as he knew he needed to walk his own path.

Earlier this year, McNown earned ample support for his first full-length record, Wandering , which was listed as a top debut album of the year by Whiskey Riff, and lauded by Holler, American Songwriter, People Magazine, and more. He then went on his first tours supporting folk band Briscoe, Australian artist Blake Rose, and opened for major country stars such as Wynonna Judd, plus made his Grand Ole Opry debut.

The rising singer-songwriter’s debut headline tour kicks off in January 2025 and has already sold out stops in New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, and other cities. Next year, he will also be performing at Arizona’s Extra Innings Festival – visit maxmcnown.com for more information and catch him opening for Corey Kent and Sam Barber this fall and winter.

Keith Urban – HEART LIKE A HOMETOWN

The new focus single from Keith Urban’s ARIA Top 5 album ‘HIGH’ is ‘HEART LIKE A HOMETOWN’.

Keith talks ‘HEART LIKE A HOMETOWN’: “When I was a kid our family moved around a lot. By the 5th grade I’d been in four schools and lived in nine different houses. So, a ‘hometown’ felt more about family and a place inside of me, somewhere I could find my center. It’s a theme that’s always spoken to me. Songs like Don Williams “If Hollywood Don’t Need You” and Glen Campbell’s “Country Boy (You Got Your Feet in LA)” and a I recorded on my ‘FUSE’ album, “Come Back To Me”. Those songs and this one all share a similar feeling – a kind of grounded safety, familiarity and a place where I can always find ME.”

Lyn Bowtell – Paper Cut

Lyn Bowtell slices through with Paper Cut.

Multi Award-winning Australian country music sensation Lyn Bowtell has unveiled her latest single, ‘Paper Cut’, a poignant track that explores the pain of fractured relationships, both romantic and platonic.

The idea for ‘Paper Cut’ came to Lyn after receiving an actual paper cut while doing admin.

“When it happened, I thought to myself, ‘It won’t kill me; it’s just a paper cut,’ then that thought suggested a connection with my experiences of relationship breakdowns,” Lyn explained.

“The sense of loss when a relationship ends, whether it be creative, friendship or romantic, can linger. Sometimes, even a small reminder brings the pain back. It’s as much a heart wound, as it is a physical one. It was one of those quick song writes that are a blessing: that arrive swiftly, almost fully formed.”

The single features the vocal harmonies of country music icon Kasey Chambers, who fell in love with the track after hearing Lyn perform it during a SHE Songwriting Retreat.

“Kasey’s harmonies add a real depth,” Lyn said.

“She captured the raw, broken-hearted emotion perfectly, reminiscent of an Emmylou Harris classic.”

Adding to the song’s timeless appeal is Kasey’s father, Bill Chambers, whose slide guitar work lends a rich, vintage country feel.

“Having Bill involved was the icing on the cake,” Lyn said.

“His contributions are a heartfelt nod to legends like Patsy Cline and George Jones who shaped my love for country music.”

‘Paper Cut’ also symbolises Lyn’s growth both personally and professionally. The 10-time Golden Guitar winner has entrusted herself even further with the recording of her upcoming album, stepping into the producer’s chair for the first time alongside partner, Damon Morton.

Her ongoing work with SHE Songwriting Retreats – a passion project encouraging and empowering women songwriters, has also influenced the themes of the track.

“This song’s message is about trusting your instincts,” Lyn said.

“If something feels wrong, step away, take a moment, and prioritise yourself.”

Lyn describes ‘Paper Cut’ as an “instant classic”, rooted in the simplicity and purity of traditional country music.

“This track reflects where I come from – Queensland country music clubs and my mum’s cherished record collection,” she said.

“There’s a beauty in the simplicity of those songs, and that’s what I’ve tried to re-create here.”

‘Paper Cut’ will debut live at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, with Lyn hosting Lyn Bowtell and Her Famous Friends at the Longyard Hotel on January 26.
