MORE NEW MUSIC FROM MULTI-PLATINUM, SIX-TIME GRAMMY-WINNER AMY GRANT "WHAT YOU HEARD," TRACK AND LYRIC VIDEO ARE AVAILABLE TODAY

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MORE NEW MUSIC FROM MULTI-PLATINUM, SIX-TIME GRAMMY-WINNER AMY GRANT

"WHAT YOU HEARD," TRACK AND LYRIC VIDEO ARE AVAILABLE TODAY

Co-written by Natalie Hemby and Barry Dean, produced by Marshall Altman, song follows the release of "Trees We'll Never See," Grant's first new music in over a decade 

Nashville, TN... (April 28, 2023)  - More new music from multi-platinum, six-time GRAMMY-winner Amy Grant is available today with the release of her latest single and lyric video, "What You Heard." Available across all DSP's today, the track follows Grant's first release in over a decade, the song "Trees We'll Never See," which NPR called, "a testament to Grant's taste and temperament," and on which she "sings in a voice that's turned amber with time."  Grant recently sang the track during an Earth Day event with Pepperdine University as they planted fruit trees at the Frederick K. C. Price III Christian School campus, Pepperdine’s original location (photo below).

Co-written with Natalie Hemby and Barry Dean, Grant speaks of the important message of "What You Heard," saying, "This song came directly from a therapy session with one of my kids. Sharing a bloodline with someone does not guarantee a relationship. Relationship requires showing up and listening. It takes practice to build a better communication tool kit and on the other side, sharpen our receptors; but it’s worth the effort to keep trying, to keep communicating. At 62 I still have a lot to learn.”

"There’s a reason Amy is a hall of fame writer," GRAMMY-winning co-writer Natalie Hemby adds in talking about the songwriting session with Grant. "She takes her personal experiences and runs them through a lens we can all see through and relate to. The day that she, Barry, and I wrote this, she was sharing her own missteps in some of her closest relationships… how you think you think your words are reaching out to someone, when, in fact, they are only pushing them away. It was deeply personal for her, but I found it was deeply personal for me too."

Grant will wrap her spring tour run on May 9, followed by a handful of summer shows leading up to the completion of 70 performances across the U.S. in 2023.  Also recently announced was one of Music City’s most treasured traditions with Grant and husband Vince Gill’s beloved “Christmas at the Ryman” residency. The 12-concert run is scheduled for December 13-14, 16-17, 19-20 and 22-23 and will once again feature matinee performances of the beloved show.  Tickets are on sale now and will only be available for purchase at ryman.com.

About Amy Grant:
Amy Grant's career spans more than 40 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into becoming an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality and philanthropist. With three multi-platinum albums, six platinum albums and four gold albums, her total career album sales have exceeded 30 million and over 1 billion global streams. Grant’s chart success has been consistent throughout her career with six No. 1 hits, 10 Top 40 pop singles, 17 Top 40 Adult Contemporary tracks and multiple Contemporary Christian chart-toppers. In addition to her six GRAMMY® Awards, Grant has earned 26 Dove Awards (including four Artist of the Year Awards) and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the Music City Walk of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Conventional wisdom has it that Grant put Contemporary Christian Music on the map becoming the first Contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record, the first to hit No. 1 on the Pop charts and the first to perform at the GRAMMY® Awards. With that, her legacy as one of the most influential artists of the past four decades is assured.  In 2020, the T.J. Martell Foundation – the music industry’s leading nonprofit to fund innovative medical research focused on treatments and cures for cancer – honored Grant with the Tony Martell Outstanding Entertainment Achievement Award at their annual Honors Gala. Most recently, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts included Grant as one of their five distinguished Honorees to receive the 45th Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime artistic achievements. In 2023, Grant will be on the road performing in 70 cities across the country and recently released her first new music in a decade, starting with the single "Trees We'll Never See,” (March) and most recently in April "What You Heard."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COLTON DIXON'S CANVAS EP IS

AVAILABLE TODAY

Dixon to perform new hit "My Light" on FOX & Friends & The Kelly Clarkson Show  

With over 50 stations on board, track quickly climbing Billboard's Christian Airplay chart

 Dixon and Jordan Feliz Announce The Love & Light Tour 

NASHVILLE, TN... April 28, 2023 - Colton Dixon's 7-song EP, CANVAS (Atlantic), is available today, including his latest hit, the highly-anticipated new single, "My Light," leaping to No. 24 on the Billboard Christian Airplay chart this week with over 50 Key markets spinning the song including SiriusXM, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, Tampa, St. Louis, Kansas City, Nashville, and Orlando. In support of his latest musical endeavor, Dixon will perform on FOX & Friends May 21st, as well as onThe Kelly Clarkson Show on June 8th.

On top of the EP release, Dixon and Jordan Feliz have announced The Love & Light Tour hitting U.S. cities this fall. Fans can text “Love and Light” to (615) 845-4896 be the first to learn about dates and presale tickets.

CANVAS and "My Light" follow the biggest song of Dixon's career to-date "Build A Boat," which, at 10 weeks became the longest running No. 1 Mediabase Christian AC song of 2022, also spawning "Build A Boat (feat. Gabby Barrett),"with MULTI-PLATINUM and award-winning Country star Gabby Barrett.  Both tracks follow his Atlantic Record's debut and No.1 song, "Miracles," which also boasts over 94 million global streams.

Speaking of the CANVAS EP, Dixon notes how “Life is all about perspective - how we view the various seasons that life has to offer. The twins are such a blessing, and when they came, we realized how precious life is. One thing I’ve noticed is that life is better lived with others.  Finding someone who brings out the best in you.  Someone who will turn your mess into something beautiful. For me, God has been that constant reminder for our family that we don’t have to walk through this life alone. Every day is a blank canvas to live life to the fullest, and to view the world and the people around us in a new light.” 

In addition to "My Light" and both versions of "Build A Boat," CANVAS features four other songs, including the anthemic “Giants,” written and produced by Grammy-nominee Joe London (Jason Derulo, Lizzo, Thomas Rhett), the piano-driven “Hold Onto Hope," a fire-filled vocal performance on “Unbreakable," and the delicate title-track, “Canvas." 

ABOUT COLTON DIXON:
Colton Dixon turns personal truths, stories, and experiences into universal anthems. He first emerged as a phenomenon after finishing in the top seven on Season 11 of Fox’s American Idol. Delivering a series of fan favorite albums, 2013’s A Messenger achieved “the biggest first-week sales by a new solo Christian act” and catapulted into the Top 15 of the Billboard 200 and #1 on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart, not to mention, joining the iconic company of Harry Connick, Jr. and Billy Joel as a Steinway & Sons artist. A year later, Anchor yielded his third and fourth #1 hits on Christian Hot AC with “More of You” and “Through It All.” In 2017, he returned to #1 on the Christian Albums Chart for the third time. He has collected a pair of Dove Awards in the categories of “Rock/Contemporary Album” and “Recorded Music Packaging.” Following an invite from the White House, he also shined at the 2019 National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in addition to performing on Good Morning America, Entertainment Tonight and in the pages ofPeople magazine. During 2020, he embarked on a new chapter with Atlantic Records ignited by the self-titled Colton Dixon EP and runaway hit “Miracles”—one of his most popular tracks to date. 2022 saw him make his show-stopping debut at the Grand Ole Opry in the midst of kicking off another era, and experiencing a creative breakthrough with “Build A Boat.” Between the original and duet version with multiplatinum country songstress Gabby Barrett, it reeled in over 20 million streams. It stood out as “the longest running Mediabase Christian AC #1 song of 2022” and locked down #1 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs Chart and Christian AC Airplay Chart. People premiered the accompanying music video and hailed it as “inspiring” for its depiction of the work of medical charity Mercy Ships. Now, Dixon captivates once again on his 2023 EP, Canvas [Atlantic Records], introduced by the single “My Light.”

MULTI-PLATINUM, SIX-TIME GRAMMY-WINNER AMY GRANT'S FIRST NEW MUSIC IN TEN YEARS, "TREES WE'LL NEVER SEE," IS AVAILABLE TODAY

                                FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MULTI-PLATINUM, SIX-TIME GRAMMY-WINNER AMY GRANT'S FIRST NEW MUSIC IN TEN YEARS, "TREES WE'LL NEVER SEE," IS AVAILABLE TODAY

"What You Heard" Coming April 28th

Nashville, TN... (March 24, 2022)  - Multi-platinum, six-time GRAMMY-winner Amy Grant's first new music in a decade, the track "Trees We'll Never See," is now available across all DSP's, along with a scenic lyric video.  BILLBOARD spoke with Grant last week about creating new music, the poignant new single, and how “the gift of life's fourth quarter is the perspective and awareness and the appreciation of all of it.”

Since the age of 15, and now in her early 60s, Grant has really never stopped making music, and her most happy place to make music is with friends. While she has continued to release music, it has been 10 years since she’s released new songs, the last being her critically-acclaimed album “How Mercy Looks From Here." That experience with producer and songwriter Marshall Altman was so rewarding and life-giving that Amy called on Altman again in 2023 to produce two new songs, including  "Trees We'll Never See," and “What You Heard," co-written with Natalie Hemby and Barry Dean, is scheduled to release April 28th.  

“'Trees We’ll Never See' is one of those life-lesson, encouraging songs that remind us that we are not alone, we have a purpose, and the seeds we plant today are so important,"  says Grant.  "Even if we ‘never see’ the fruit or the trees that grow from those seeds in our lifetime, it’s always important to invest in people, friends, family, and those we may never even meet."

While it was penned by Altman and Michael White, “Trees We’ll Never See” is true Amy Grant in that the wisdom imparted in the lyric, paired with incredible musicianship (including Vince Gill on guitar) can be magical.  This song has new color palettes rooted in singer-songwriter and Americana leanings which have always been part Grant’s music, but even more so now.

Grant is currently in the middle of her spring tour run, with many dates already sold out.  Throughout 2023 she will be hitting 70 cities across the U.S., and is excited to share new music and fan favorites. 

About Amy Grant:
Amy Grant's career spans more than 40 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into becoming an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality and philanthropist. With three multi-platinum albums, six platinum albums and four gold albums, her total career album sales have exceeded 30 million and over 1 billion global streams. Grant’s chart success has been consistent throughout her career with six No. 1 hits, 10 Top 40 pop singles, 17 Top 40 Adult Contemporary tracks and multiple Contemporary Christian chart-toppers. In addition to her six GRAMMY® Awards, Grant has earned 26 Dove Awards (including four Artist of the Year Awards) and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the Music City Walk of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Conventional wisdom has it that Grant put Contemporary Christian Music on the map becoming the first Contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record, the first to hit No. 1 on the Pop charts and the first to perform at the GRAMMY® Awards. With that, her legacy as one of the most influential artists of the past four decades is assured.  In 2020, the T.J. Martell Foundation – the music industry’s leading nonprofit to fund innovative medical research focused on treatments and cures for cancer – honored Grant with the Tony Martell Outstanding Entertainment Achievement Award at their annual Honors Gala. Most recently, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts included Grant as one of their five distinguished Honorees to receive the 45th Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime artistic achievements. This year Grant is hitting the road and will be performing in 70 cities across the country and releasing her first new music in a decade, starting with the single "Trees We'll Never See."

SKILLET is one of the best-selling rock bands of the 21st century. The two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated, Pandora Billionaires Club members, and multi-platinum rockers have an undying spirit that has humbly asserted and affirmed them as one of this generation's most successful rock acts. However, as all classic underdog stories do, it happened quietly under the radar. By 2019, they not only garnered a pair of GRAMMY® Award nods and sold over 17 million albums worldwide, but they also took home a Billboard Music Award for the double-platinum Awake. Its breakout single "Monster" is 5x platinum and remains "one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time." 2016's Unleashed bowed at #3 on the Billboard Top 200. Hitting #1 on Rock Radio, the lead single "Feel Invincible" cracked 643 million global audio streams and went double platinum. Meanwhile, the gold-certified Unleashed became their fourth consecutive album to acheive gold, platinum, or double-platinum status. Their 2019 release Victorious included the top ten rock radio hit "Legendary," which lived up to its name with over 108 million streams. To date, nine original tunes earned RIAA recognition in tandem with high-profile syncs by everyone from WWE and Marvel to ESPN and NFL. Between selling out arenas in 26 countries and four continents, the group performed on CONAN and graced the pages of USA Today and The New York Times. Skillet debuted their first graphic novel, EDEN: A Skillet Graphic Novel with Z2 Comics, which became the publisher’s best-selling book of all time, followed by EDEN II: The Aftermath. Skillet's latest project, DOMINION, is one of the highest charting rock and metal albums of 2022 and available now.

“It’s been so fun watching Brandon carry what God has given him, and I respect him as a leader, brother and friend. At ‘Summer Worship Nights,’ we truly want to gather as worshipers, to sing and lift up the name of Jesus,” Wickham shares. “I cannot wait for these nights!”

“This is a dream come true for me. There is no one else that I have imitated my life after more than Phil Wickham. He’s been a hero, brother, mentor and friend,” Lake adds. “The energy on this tour is going to be absolutely CRAZY! Expectancy is the breeding ground for miracles, and we’re coming expectant to believe God is going to move.”

 “God’s glory is not restrained or limited to any musical genre,” says KB, who will open each night with his authentic brand of Gospel-centered rap. “I’m excited for this opportunity to celebrate the diversity of the Body of Christ by uniting together to bring Him glory.”

 Wickham’s new single, “This Is Our God,” is proving to be one of the biggest songs of his career to date. When it officially launched at radio on Feb. 24, it become the No. 1 most-added song of 2023 thus far with more than 70 stations adding it out of the gate. The anthem is currently Top 20 and climbing on both the Billboard and Mediabase Christian Audience charts. “This Is Our God” previews the California native’s forthcoming studio effort, due later this year, and follows three back-to-back chart-topping singles from Wickham’s Dove Award-winning album, Hymn of Heaven.

 Meanwhile, Lake just scored his first No. 1 at radio as a solo artist with “Gratitude” from his full-length label debut, House of Miracles. Alongside his group Maverick City Music, the Charleston, S.C., resident recently won all four Christian/Gospel categories at the 65th annual GRAMMY® Awards in February. Prior to co-headlining the “Summer Worship Nights” outing with Wickham, he’ll take his “Miracle Nights Tour” to 13 cities this spring, beginning Mar. 17.

 Fresh off the release of his first book, Dangerous Jesus, KB will kickstart each evening of the “Summer Worship Nights” tour with new music, as well as fan favorites, including his recent collaboration with Lake on “Graves.”

About Phil Wickham:

Phil Wickham is a GRAMMY® nominated artist and leader in the modern worship movement, having penned countless songs sung in churches around the world. Most recently, his single, “This Is Our God,” opened the pages of 2023 with a wellspring of declarative praise to our God who saves. Also in 2023, the artist was nominated for two GRAMMY® awards in the category of “Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song,” recognizing the songs, “Hymn of Heaven” and “Holy Forever.” Hymn of Heaven, Wickham’s latest full-length album (June 25, 2021, Fair Trade Services), won him “Worship Album of the Year” at the 2022 GMA Dove Awards, while he was named “Songwriter of the Year” as well as awarded “Worship Recorded Song of the Year” for the title track, “Hymn of Heaven.” In addition, the song, “Battle Belongs,” topped five different radio charts for multiple weeks. This powerful album was written during a year when the family of God couldn’t physically gather in houses of worship around the world. “Hymn of Heaven is full of praise and thankfulness, just lifting up the name of Jesus and speaking what we really know is the reality, even though we don’t see it,” he says. “All I want to do is facilitate moments where people can encounter the presence of God.” Wickham’s anthemic “Living Hope,” an RIAA Gold®-certified hit, earned him a GMA Dove Award for “Worship Recorded Song of the Year” in 2019, while his first RIAA Gold®-certified single, “This Is Amazing Grace,” was his first career No. 1. This iconic song held the top spot for thirteen consecutive weeks and was named Billboard’s No. 1 “Christian Airplay Song of the Year” in 2014, as well as BMI’s “Christian Song of the Year” in 2015. Wickham’s music has received hundreds of millions of streams across multiple platforms, with his discography including eight full-length projects, several Christmas releases, and a series of popular Singalong records that capture Wickham’s songs as they do what they were always meant to do — which is giving people language to sing to God.

Lake’s full-length albums include HELP!, which serves as a declaration of truth and a “me too” in response to anyone who struggles with mental health — while his album, House of Miracles, was released in 2020 with a desire for the songs to become beacons of hope in homes across the world.

Announced this morning on THE TODAY SHOW, new single "Trees We'll Never See," will be available across all DSP's March 24th

 

Nashville, TN... (March 1, 2022)  - Multi-platinum, six-time GRAMMY-winner Amy Grant anncounced today that she is releasing her first new music in a decade.  During a two-part interview with Craig Melvin on THE TODAY SHOW, conducted in her home this week, Grant excitedly shared that the first track, "Trees We'll Never See," will be available across all DSP's on March 24th and can be save pre-orderd/pre-saved now.   

"Trees We'll Never See" was written by Marshall Altman, who produced her critically-acclaimed album, “How Mercy Looks From Here," and Michael White.  Grant will release another new song this spring, which will be announced soon.  

"So much creativity has been put on hold in my life, for all kinds of reasons," shares Grant when talking about the new music. "Last summer I was asked to sing on a new Cory Asbury song yet to be released.  This might be one of the best songs I have heard in a long time. I was so glad they waited for me to heal up and get back to the studio. Inspired by Cory’s beautiful song, Marshall Altman and I started talking about songs that we’ve written recently that affected us. I played him one of mine. He played me one of his.  His song was “Trees We’ll never See.  I loved it immediately and asked him if I could record it, and within two weeks, both songs were mixed & mastered!”

After taking time to heal from her bike accident last summer, Grant joined Michael W. Smith for their Christmas tour, followed by her annual Christmas at the Ryman residency with husband Vince Gill.  Amy’s year culminated in receiving a prestigious Kennedy Center Honor along with U2, George Clooney, Gladys Knight and Tania Leon.  This spring, she will be heading to 70 cities across the U.S., excited to share new music and fan favorites.

Grant’s chart success has been consistent throughout her career with six No. 1 hits, 10 Top 40 pop singles, 17 Top 40 Adult Contemporary tracks and multiple Contemporary Christian chart-toppers. In addition to her six GRAMMY® Awards, Grant has earned 26 Dove Awards (including four Artist of the Year Awards) and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the Music City Walk of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Most recently, The John F.

AMERICAN IDOL'S COLTON DIXON TO RELEASE CANVAS EP APRIL 28, WITH NEW SINGLE, "MY LIGHT" AVAILABLE TODAY

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AMERICAN IDOL'S COLTON DIXON TO RELEASE CANVAS EP APRIL 28, WITH NEW SINGLE, "MY LIGHT" AVAILABLE TODAY

CANVAS and new track follow 

"Build A Boat," the longest running No. 1 Mediabase Christian AC song of 2022

Dixon's "Build A Boat Tour" launches
March 9th with sold out shows featuring Jordan St. Cyr and special guest Apollo LTD

NASHVILLE, TN... February 24, 2022 - American Idol's Colton Dixon has announced the April 28th release of his 7-song EP, CANVAS (Atlantic), for which pre-orders/pre-saves are now available. The EP's highly-anticipated new single, "My Light," launches across all DSPs today along with a lyric video, and will impact radio March 24th.

CANVAS and "My Light" follow the biggest song of Dixon's career to-date "Build A Boat," which, at 10 weeks became the longest running No. 1 Mediabase Christian AC song of 2022, also spawning "Build A Boat (feat. Gabby Barrett)," with MULTI-PLATINUM and award-winning Country star Gabby Barrett. 

"My Light," penned by the team behind "Build A Boat," Swedish songwriting team Robin Sternberg and Johan Lindbrant, along with Dixon, Pete Becker, Dan Caplan and Seth Mosley. Produced by Lindbrant and Stjernberg, the track is one Dixon reflects on personally:

“Over the last couple of years, we’ve all been in a dark place,” he admits. “It was like, ‘Man, I’m not sure if the world will come back’. In my case, I didn’t know if I’d ever tour again. The twins were born in the same year I lost my main source of income—which is touring. It was scary. If I’ve ever been afraid, I know there’s someone who loves me and will guide me through – God is my light, but we all can relate to people in our lives that help strengthen us as well and keep us going.  It’s such a fun song but its message is what I love most about it.”

In addition to "My Light" and both versions of "Build A Boat," CANVAS features four other tunes (full track-listing below), including the anthemic “Giants,” written and produced by Grammy-nominee Joe London (Jason Derulo, Lizzo, Thomas Rhett), the piano-driven “Hold Onto Hope," a fire-filled vocal performance on “Unbreakable," and the delicate title-track, “Canvas." 

Speaking of the CANVAS EP, Dixon notes how “Life is all about perspective - how we view the various seasons that life has to offer. The twins are such a blessing, and when they came, we realized how precious life is. One thing I’ve noticed is that life is better lived with others.  Finding someone who brings out the best in you.  Someone who will turn your mess into something beautiful. For me, God has been that constant reminder for our family that we don’t have to walk through this life alone. Every day is a blank canvas to live life to the fullest, and to view the world and the people around us in a new light.” 

Dixon will be touring across the U.S. this spring on his "Build A Boat Tour" featuring Jordan St. Cyr and special guest Apollo LTD.  Hitting approximately 35 cities, several of which are already sold out, the tour will kick off March 9th in Meadville, PA. Initial tour dates are listed below, with more being added soon.  Tickets are now on sale at ColtonDixon.com.

ABOUT COLTON DIXON:
Colton Dixon turns personal truths, stories, and experiences into universal anthems. He first emerged as a phenomenon after finishing in the top seven on Season 11 of Fox’s American Idol. Delivering a series of fan favorite albums, 2013’s A Messengerachieved “the biggest first-week sales by a new solo Christian act” and catapulted into the Top 15 of the Billboard 200 and #1 on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart, not to mention, joining the iconic company of Harry Connick, Jr. and Billy Joel as a Steinway & Sons artist. A year later, Anchor yielded his third and fourth #1 hits on Christian Hot AC with “More of You” and “Through It All.” In 2017, he returned to #1 on the Christian Albums Chart for the third time. He has collected a pair of Dove Awards in the categories of “Rock/Contemporary Album” and “Recorded Music Packaging.” Following an invite from the White House, he also shined at the 2019 National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in addition to performing on Good Morning America, Entertainment Tonight and in the pages of People magazine. During 2020, he embarked on a new chapter with Atlantic Records ignited by the self-titled Colton Dixon EP and runaway hit “Miracles”—one of his most popular tracks to date. 2022 saw him make his show-stopping debut at the Grand Ole Opry in the midst of kicking off another era, and experiencing a creative breakthrough with “Build A Boat.” Between the original and duet version with multiplatinum country songstress Gabby Barrett, it reeled in over 20 million streams. It stood out as “the longest running Mediabase Christian AC #1 song of 2022” and locked down #1 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs Chart and Christian AC Airplay Chart. Peoplepremiered the accompanying music video and hailed it as “inspiring” for its depiction of the work of medical charity Mercy Ships. Now, Dixon captivates once again on his 2023 EP, Canvas [Atlantic Records], introduced by the single “My Light.”

Their 2019 release Victorious included the top ten rock radio hit "Legendary," which lived up to its name with over 108 million streams.

THE SPRINGBOARD MUSIC PODCAST LAUNCHES TO MAKE MUSIC BIZ DREAMS COME TRUE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

THE SPRINGBOARD MUSIC PODCAST LAUNCHES TO MAKE MUSIC BIZ DREAMS COME TRUE

Helmed by Rachael Hession, program debuts at No.12 in Apple Podcasts Music Interviews category; first four episodes are available now

Rachael Hession

NASHVILLE, TN.... FEBRUARY 8, 2023 -  The Springboard Music Podcast, helmed by Rachael Hession, who most recently served as Manager of National Promotion at Capitol Christian Music Group, has launched with its first four episodes.  Peaking at No. 12 in Apple Music Podcast's Music Interviews category in its first 24 hours, Chartable also has the program ahead of “Good Ol’ Grateful Deadcast," “David Guetta The Podcast,” “The New Music Business with Ari Herstand,” and “Exit 209 with Storme Warren - SiriusXM” upon it's debut. 

Featuring Morgan Evan's bass player Andrew Brown, Director of Digital Partnerships and Revenue at Universal Music Group's Shannon Woodworth, and Concord + Chromatic Music Publishing songwriter Lauren Hungate (parts 1 + 2), the debut features went live Feburary 7th, with new episodes releasing every other Tuesday.  

"I knew from an early age that I wanted to be involved in the Music Industry," says Hession, describing why she started the podcast. "I just always thought you had to be an artist or songwriter, and those were your only two options.  After watching an episode of American Idol, I looked up what Simon Cowell’s path was to his career—he did radio promotion, as well as A&R. I immediately thought radio promotion would be cool, but didn’t think it was something you could just jump into, so I pursued A&R. I couldn’t afford to go to a school that had a music business program, so I went to a small private school with the intention of graduating as quickly as I could to move down to Nashville. I studied Marketing, thinking it was “similar” to A&R (branding). During that time, I had no one on campus who understood what I was trying to do with my life, and no one in my family had ever considered a career like the one I was striving for. I wished so badly there was someone young, who had recently broken into the industry, who didn’t have it all handed to them, that wasn’t an artist, that could tell me their story. Thus, The Springboard Music Podcast."

Hosting a variety of interviews with music industry professionals that listeners can look up to, pick their brain, etc., the podcast breaks down the elusive persona of the Music Industry and is geared toward an audience whose always dreamt of working in music, but don't know where to start.  While each episode reveals no direct path to a dream job, each guest provides insight on how to gain experience while in high school or college, what type of person would be a good fit for the job, and whether or not they consider themselves as “living the dream.” 

The Springboard Music Podcast will help listeners realize there is space for them at the "music industry table," no matter what their skills or passions are.

"You can be a photographer, and work in the Music Industry. You can be an accountant, and work in the music industry. You can be in IT Security, and work in the music industry," continues Hession.  "I hope young professionals won’t feel so alone and lost in their dreams after listening, that they will reach out to the guests, and take steps to gaining experience now to heart. I also hope that in 10 years, I run into them and hear about their successful careers, making it happen, and still doing what they love."

The Springboard Music Podcast Season 1 Guests and Topics:

Lauren Hungate

Lauren Hungate – signed songwriter to Concord + Chromatic Music Publishing
When Hungate fell into songwriting, it wasn't until she already had held two jobs in the music industry (one at Red Light Management and another at Capitol Christian Music Group). In this ep she shares how she discovered her love for songwriting, how she made the decision to leave her salaried job, and eventually, how she entered a song contest and got signed to a publisher.

Cassie Petrey

Cassie Petrey – Co-Founder of Crowd Surf
Petrey and Hession get into digital marketing trends, the difference between being an “influencer” and a “helper” to your audience, and what is an underutilized social media platform.

Aaron Tochini

Aaron Tochini – Director of Events at Music Business Association
Originally pursuing a career in music, Tochini found himself working in catering + events at the Omni hotel in Nashville. Little did he know that he made an impression with the Music Business Association and later became a member of their staff. He has now run over 80 events for MBA and they have a great time discussing what goes into making an event amazing. 

Shannon Woodworth

Shannon Woodworth – Director of Digital Partnerships and Revenue at Universal Music Group (Nashville)
Shannon has done it all—been on American Idol, started a blog, is a successful influencer, is a mom and a wife, an author, and also works full time at UMG Nashville. She discusses how she "does it all," what the process was for Jordan Davis and Luke Bryan’s song, “Buy Dirt,” to go viral on Tik Tok, and how she started UMG Nashville’s first ever philanthropic venture called Parade of Trees.

Andrew Brown

Andrew Brown – Bass player for Morgan Evans 
Brown and Hession chat about his transitioning from an existing career to pursue a career in music, soundcheck etiquette, what it’s like entering into an existing band, and advice for touring the world while having a life partner back at home.

Alex Quattlebaum

Alex Quattlebaum – Senior Manager of Touring at futureshirts
This episode covers the difference between VIP and Merch teams, the importance of hiring merch reps that fit your brand, and at what point an artist should considering making and selling merch.

LB Cantrell


LB Cantrell – Director of Operations and Content at Music Row Magazine
In this episode, we discuss transferring from one out of station school to another to pursue music, going straight to the person in charge asking for opportunities, and how to dream bigger within the job you currently have.

Ryan Byrd

Ryan Byrd – American Music Awards nominated Video Producerfor Ashley McBryde and Carly Pearce's “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,"  Anne Wilson's “Hey Girl” and Tauren Well's “Joy In The Morning.”

This episode marks the season finale in three parts. They discuss attending Belmont, not for music, but for film—how to gain experience, finding common threads through her upbringing that were foreshadows to her career path, what the term “producer” really entails, and why she wouldn’t consider herself living the dream.

ABOUT RACHAEL HESSION:

Hession knew she wanted to be in Music Business, but couldn’t afford a college with a Music Business program and so went to college to get a business degree in Marketing in Upland, Indiana—a town with only two blinking yellow stoplights and cornfields. Itching to leave Indiana and make her way to Nashville, she graduated in three years, and then spent her last semester studying at the Contemporary Music Center in Nashville, TN—a program for college students to gain hands on learning experience in the music industry.

After applying for a Commercial Partnerships internship at Capitol Christian Music Group and then awarded the position with only Ace Hardware on her resume, it wasn't long before she applied for a Sales and Services Representative position at the label and was hired. Four weeks into the job, HR called asking if she would consider applying for the open position as Administrator on the National Promotion team. Not wanting to be “that millennial” that jumped ship when the next opportunity came, it took several conversations and much support from her executives before making the switch to the radio team October 2017.

In December 2019, Hession was promoted to Manager of National Promotion at just 24 years old. During her time at Capitol, the team brought in 25 #1 records and broke new artists such as Anne Wilson and We The Kingdom.

releases March 21, 2023 

 

Grand Rapids, MI – January 31, 2023 – Zonderkidz is pleased to announce that New York Times bestselling author, broadcast journalist and producer Raymond Arroyo will publish a new children’s picture book series titled Turnabout Tales, with the first book arriving in stores on March 21, 2023, titled The Unexpected Light of Thomas Alva Edison. Illustrated by Kristina Gehrmann, the book will be for children 4-8 and beyond who will enjoy learning how small moments and events in one’s life can create a big change, much like Edison’s life did. 

Based on the younger years of inventor Thomas Alva Edison, the book highlights the support of his mother, Nancy Edison, who understood Thomas had a special curiosity and went on to school him at home to help expand his worldview and understanding of all things nature and science. Edison’s curiosity often got him into trouble, but also led to his love of chemistry, the mechanics of the telegraph and more. His struggle with deafness at an early age also compelled him to become a compulsive reader. Edison’s mother was his biggest advocate, and he opened up an “invention factory” in 1876 to honor her after her unexpected death. 

The Turnabout Tales series will feature pivotal moments in other historic lives, each revealing challenges faced, paths changed and history turned. More books will be announced later in 2023. This series was acquired by Zonderkidz Publisher Megan Dobson and Senior Acquisitions Editor Katherine Jacobs, from agent Chip Flaherty of Bamtrey Strategies. 

“Zonderkidz is happy to bring these unique stories from Raymond to a wide audience who will appreciate history and the hidden backstories of characters that can inspire children and their families even today,” says Megan Dobson, Vice President and Publisher of Zonderkidz. “We seek to highlight tales that bring light and joy while also delivering inspiring yet little-known stories that bring history to life for kids in an all-new, fun way. Acquiring this series fits perfectly within our mission.” 

“We often forget that talent is nurtured by love and belief. I was drawn to Edison when I read a comment where he attributed his entire career as an inventor to his mother,” says Arroyo, host of the global news program The World Over Live on EWTN, and a Fox News Contributor. “At a critical point, when he was tossed from school, it was Edison’s mother who recognized his spark and changed the trajectory of his life. My hope is that the whole series will inspire kids and their families to be open to the direction of their children’s gifts and interests. Often it is by looking back that we can see the best way to go forward –and that’s what I hope to do with Turnabout Tales.” 

The book includes an author note and bibliography for further reading. A Teaching Guide and Activity Guide will also be available for free download to parents and educators at www.zonderkidz.com. 

“…the light of the invention within Tom might have never illuminated the world, had it not been for a mother who first saw the glow of curiosity in her Al.” – The Unexpected Light of Thomas Alva Edison 

Advance copies of the book and interviews are available upon request; a multi-city media tour in several U.S. cities in the spring featuring visits to media and schools is in process.
