Artist Quote –

I am hanging on, barely getting through when every road leads back to you. Tell me, what am I going to do when the whisky stops working?

Following-up his fourth #1 at country radio earlier this year, multi-PLATINUM artist Jade Eagleson is back on the airwaves with the release of his new single “Do It Anyway” feat. Texas native Jake Worthington. As he continues to carve his path in international markets with shows in the U.S. and Europe this year, today Eagleson is proud to announce his signing with CAA.

Eagleson was able to share a bucket-list moment with the world when he announced that he will be making his Grand Ole Opry debut on October 18, 2024. Standing in the same spot as so many of his idols, Eagleson will take his much-deserved spot in the circle for the very first time.

“The past few months have really been hard to believe – I’m watching some of my wildest dreams come true,” shared Eagleson. “Playing on the Opry stage has been something I’ve wanted to do since I first picked up a guitar.”

A highlight of his live show this year is Eagleson’s new single “Do It Anyway”. With the original being found on his critically acclaimed album by the same name released last year, having Worthington join him on the new track was important to Eagleson. “I really appreciate what Jake is doing for country music and I have wanted to collaborate with him since I first heard his music. I’m grateful that he wanted to jump on this new version of the song with me,” shared Eagleson. “‘Do It Anyway’ is a song that deeply resonates with me – it feels like it was written about me. Getting to cut a song from legends Chase McGill, Matt Jenkins and Ashley Gorley was definitely an added bonus.”

“When Jade asked if I would join him on the song, it was an easy yes,” shared Worthington. “I am a fan of what he’s doing and the good ole country music he’s making.”

After taking home the titles of Entertainer of the Year and Male Artist of the Year at the 2023 CCMA Awards, Eagleson won the Ford F-150 Album of the Year at the 2024 CCMA Awards. With six 2024 CCMA Award nominations for Entertainer of the Year, Album of the Year, Fans’ Choice, Male Artist of the Year, Single of the Year and Songwriter(s) of the Year, Eagleson was tied for the most nominations at this year’s awards.

He also took to the stage during Country Music Week in Edmonton for the CCMA Legends Show and on the 2024 CCMA Awards national broadcast on September 14, performing “Do It Anyway” with Jake Worthington.

ABOUT JADE EAGLESON:

At just 30 years of age, Jade Eagleson has made quite the mark on the international country music scene. Boasting 305M+ global streams and 120M+ views on YouTube since the debut of his self-titled album (2020), which holds four GOLD-certified and two PLATINUM-certified singles as well as the title of most globally streamed debut album by an internationally-signed country artist, Jade has also landed five #1s at Canadian Country Radio (“Lucky,” “All Night To Figure ItOut,” “More Drinkin’ Than Fishin'” feat. Dean Brody, “She Don’t Know,” “Telluride”), three GOLD-certified tracks on his sophomore album and one PLATINUM-certified track and another two GOLD-certified tracks on his third album “Do It Anyway”. With the release of his debut single “Got Your Name On It” (2018), Jade was featured as YouTube Trending ‘Artist On The Rise,’ marking the first time a Canadian-signed artist in any genre has received the honour. “Got Your Name On It” has since become the first debut single by a Canadian artist to go PLATINUM.

These last few years have been unmatched for the Ontario native. Jade kicked off 2024 with his third JUNO nomination for Country Album of the Year and last year was named the 2023 CCMA Awards Entertainer of the Year and Male Artist of the Year, also taking home the award for Innovative Campaign of the Year during Country Music Week 2023. Jade’s third studio album, “Do It Anyway” earned him the Ford F-150 Album of the Year at this year’s 2024 CCMA Awards.

Following a massive year in 2023, achieving the highest charting Australian country album of the year with “Any Less Anymore”, Travis Collins is set to charge into 2025 with the release of his 10th studio album. This will coincide with his performance at Australia’s largest country music festival, CMC Rocks, in March 2025.

To celebrate the announce, Travis releases the second single from the new studio album, “Different Dreams”. Recorded with Jared Adlam in his Queensland studio, who also produced Travis’ first single, “Don’t Get Me Started”. The song was penned with Collins and Nashville’s Jason Duke (Kelsea Ballerini, Keith Urban/LoCash).

As Travis describes the track, “If success is truly defined as setting a goal, and achieving it, then it shouldn’t matter what that dream looks or sounds like to anybody else. For some, it’s being #1 at something – top of the mountain. For others it’s about a steady job, maybe some kids and healthy work-life balance, for others it’s finding happiness within themselves.

Our dream can be as big or small as we want them to be, they don’t need to make sense to anybody else, because after all, it’s ours, and we all have different dreams”.

“There’s a lot of levels of success and happiness between the start and the top, of anything – this song is for all the dreamers who’ve found their dream somewhere in between.”

“Mine aint yours and yours aint mine, but that’s okay, yeah that’s alright
So you do you, and I’ll do me, we all got different dreams”.

A nine-time Golden Guitar Award winner, four-time CMC Award winner, CMA Global Artist of the Year Award recipient, and two-time ARIA & APRA Award nominee, he’s toured alongside US megastars Tim McGraw and Luke Combs and recorded with Nashville’s best. His mix of hands-in-the-air country-rock anthems combined with heartfelt ballads has led to over 40 million streams across his nine albums and thirty-plus singles.

Abbie Ferris, a rising star in the country music scene, is closing out a landmark year with the release of her deeply personal EP, You Don’t Live Here Anymore, out October 18 via Potts Entertainment/MGM.

A small-town girl from Mallala, South Australia, Abbie has navigated a whirlwind year that saw her performing at major festivals like CMA Fest and CMC Rocks QLD, making frequent trips between Australia and Nashville, and writing with some of Nashville’s top songwriters. Amid the career highs, she has been processing the emotional fallout from the end of a seven-year relationship, a journey captured in the EP’s six songs.

Each track reveals a chapter of Abbie’s story: from the raw chemistry of a troubled romance in Shut Up and Kiss Me, to the pursuit of dreams in Bright Lights of Tennessee, and the feel-good confidence of No You Didn’t. The EP also explores themes of healing, with tracks like Guilt Don’t Live Here Anymore, the bold rejection of toxic relationships in That Ain’t You, and finally, the heart wrenching closer The Last Song, which offers a powerful moment of closure.

Reflecting on The Last Song, Abbie says:
“I went through a massive breakup at the end of last year – a seven-year relationship. Almost every song I’ve written since then has been about that – heartbreak, anger, pretending not to care, acting like I was over it… but it was like I was stuck in that moment of heartbreak. When I wrote The Last Song, I’d been in Nashville writing for a few weeks and come up with some songs I loved, but I hadn’t gone deep enough to really deal with all these feelings and move forward. Then this song just poured out and it was like I could finally close the chapter and move on, not with bitterness, and not being beholden to the memory of this person and this relationship. It’s so hard to really draw that line in the sand and start a new era of your life when you’ve been part of a couple for so long, and I hope a lot of people hear themselves in this song and find the strength to move forward.”

All songs on the EP were written in Nashville, including collaborations with fellow Australians Danielle Blakey (Nate Smith) and Troy Kemp (McAlister Kemp). Produced by Michael Carpenter, the EP also features Lainey Wilson’s band member Sav Madigan on fiddle and mandolin. To celebrate the release, Abbie will perform two sets at Groundwater Festival this weekend.

Abbie’s journey from Mallala (population 600) to the international stage has been marked by tireless work and an undeniable passion for country music. Inspired by legends like Shania Twain, Taylor Swift, and Lainey Wilson, she’s carving her own path and is determined to leave a lasting impact.

“I want to take my music as far as I can, showing that a small-town South Australian girl can grow up and touch hearts around the world. My parents taught me to follow my instincts, and every time I connect with people through music-whether in the writing room, the studio, or on stage-it’s like everything else fades away. That’s the feeling I’m always chasing.”

Rising country singer-songwriter Jeremy Turner is set to enchant listeners with his latest single, “What You’re Not Looking For”, a poignant ballad that speaks to the beauty of unexpected love and life’s serendipitous gifts. Co-written in Nashville with acclaimed songwriters Brian White and fellow Aussie Phil Barton, this heartfelt track captures the essence of finding what you need, even when you’re not actively searching for it.

“What You’re Not Looking For” weaves a relatable narrative of life’s twists and turns, resonating with anyone who has experienced the unexpected joys of love, change, and success. Turner’s captivating lyrics and emotive delivery ensure that listeners will connect with the song on a personal level.

Riding off the back of exceptional performances over the past few months including Texas Country Music Festival, Flame Festival, Lights on the Hill and Gympie Music Muster which attracted stellar reviews from festival goers and country music industry alike, “What You’re Not Looking For” follows up the earlier 2024 anthem “Must’ve Been Drunk”. Not only has this track become a fan favourite at Jeremy’s live shows but gained nationwide airplay and Apple Music playlisting.

It’s been a fast rise for Jeremy Turner. 2023 saw the release of his debut single “She Keeps Comin’ Around”, followed by “Try To Stop Me”, bringing with those releases’ festival gigs, touring, Spotify and Apple Music playlisting and a place on the major Countrytown charts.

Jeremy draws inspiration from an array of artists including Keith Urban, Leanne Womack, and Cody Johnson, blending modern and traditional country styles to create a sound that resonates with diverse audiences. There’s truly something for everyone at his shows, where his incredible vocal ability shines. Now residing in South-East Queensland his journey as a traveling musician has taken him across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and the USA, earning him a dedicated fanbase everywhere he goes.

With a voice that is commanding of any festival stage, Jeremy Turner exudes a country music charm and charisma while delivering in depth storytelling. His stage presence is undeniably powerful, emotional, and relatable while inserting that perfect mix of Aussie larrikinism.

Mark your calendars-“What You’re Not Looking For” is set to hit the airwaves in late October, and it’s one release you won’t want to miss. Jeremy is set to solidify his place in the country music scene.

Jeremy Turner’s new single ‘What You Are Not Looking For’ is out to radio on 21st October and digital platforms on 25th October via Checked Label Services and Little Sparrow PR.

On the heels of his third studio album One Thing At A Time attaining 7x Platinum certification by the RIAA, this year’s leading CMA Award nominee Morgan Wallen delivers the first taste of his upcoming project, releasing “Love Somebody,” available now.

“‘Love Somebody’ is a little bit of a new approach lyrically and sonically,” shares Wallen. “I wanted to try something different, with what I wanted to talk about, how I wanted it to sound, and we were inspired by Latin-leaning influences. I’m really excited about this song and pumped that it is out.”

“Love Somebody” was written by Wallen alongside John Byron, Ashley Gorley, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Elof Loelv and Ryan Vojtesak, and was produced by Joey Moi and Charlie Handsome (Dangerous: The Double Album and One Thing At A Time). Craving something different against a neon-lit backdrop, the East Tennessean singer/songwriter offers a candid glimpse at the difficulties of finding someone “Who ain’t hypnotized / By dollar signs and blindin’ lights,” as he searches for authenticity.

I just wanna love somebody

Who won’t leave a hole in my heart

I just wanna love somebody

That don’t want me fallin’ apart

And I’ll be lucky if I ever find

A somethin’ more than just a crazy night

I just wanna love somebody

Riding high off the success of Billboard’s 2024 Song of the Summer “I Had Some Help” with Post Malone and latest single, “Lies, Lies, Lies,” Wallen, originally previewed “Love Somebody” on the European leg of his One Night At A Time 2024 Tour. He later announced the single’s official release at his history-making, double header hometown shows at University of Tennessee Knoxville’s Neyland Stadium, where he surpassed The Jackson 5 as the venue’s largest weekend ever, performing for 156,161 fans across two shows.

Wallen will conclude his One Night At A Time Tour this weekend with two consecutive nights at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium Oct. 18-19. One Night At A Time spanned 87 shows, 10 countries, 51 stadium plays, as well as festivals and arenas across two years, and was named a 2023 Billboard and Pollstar Country Tour of the Year.
