LCM #SongOfTheDay: ‘Drive’ - Remember Monday
Remember Monday are a country-pop trio featuring Holly-Anne Hull, Lauren Byrne and Charlotte Steele. They are launching their latest single ‘Drive’ at The Troubadour in London this evening. It was produced by Tim Prottey-Jones of The Wandering Hearts. We love their rich harmonies and songwriting, and think this could be their breakthrough year. They remind us of a fusion of The Dixie Chicks, The Wreckers, Runaway June and The Pistol Annies.
They girls met at college at age 17, and bonded over their mutual love of John Mayer and harmonies. From there it was a short seven years before Remember Monday was born. They were known for a number of years as 'Houston', and released their debut EP 'Manuscripts' in March 2018. The first track, "Your Kinda Love", reached number 3 in the iTunes Country Music Chart in the first week of release.
After wowing audiences at festivals across the UK this summer, they are now working on new music, which will be released later this year.
LCM #SongOfTheDay: With a brand new EP ‘Side B’ just released our featured track today is the wonderful lead single ‘If I Were You’ by Nashville based singer-songwriter Jillian Jacqueline. The song also features the always great Keith Urban.
Jillian Jacqueline’s career is the antithesis of an overnight success, but her achievements have been abundant. From co-starring in a Broadway show with Kenny Rogers at age 9 and touring the US with him for 5 years, to forming a group with her three sisters at age 10 and playing New York City clubs as a family band, to then reaching the top 50 on Billboard charts with a trio song with Billy Dean and Suzy Bogguss at age 13, Jacqueline had her fair share of experience in the music business before she even entered high school.
After moving to Nashville shortly after graduating college in Philadelphia, she was introduced to pop legend Richard Marx who produced a 5 song EP for Jacqueline. During that time she collaborated with Vince Gill on her original song “Overdue” and co-penned Vince’s latest single “Take Me Down” (off his 2016 album Down To My Last Habit) which featured Little Big Town.
After signing a publishing deal with Downtown Publishing in 2014, Jacqueline released an EP of songs which garnered her critical attention as a singer/songwriter in Nashville, eventually leading her to inking a deal with Big Loud Records in the fall of 2016.
Since then she’s released her first collection of songs as a signed artist, titled 'Side A', reached the Spotify US Top 50 Viral charts and garnered over 20 million streams, opened for artists as diverse as Billy Currington, Dwight Yoakam, Ryan Adams and Thomas Rhett, and is about to embark on a spring tour with Brett Eldredge.
She won the ASCAP Abe Olman Scholarship in 2015, was named one of Rolling Stones Country Artists to Watch, is a VEVO dscvr artist of 2018, made her late night television debut on Seth Meyers in January, was recently nominated as AIMP Rising Artist/Writer of the Year, and was featured in the March issue of Billboard as their monthly Chartbreaker immediately following her first radio single “Reasons” being #2 most added in the country. Her first full length album is in the works with her longtime collaborator and producer Tofer Brown.
LCM #SongOfTheDay; A wonderful live acoustic version of 'Make Him Wait' by young Texan singer-songwriter Abby Anderson. The song is taken from Abby's very good recently released debut EP 'I'm Good'. Please check it out and let us know what you think?
Our LCM featured artist today is Texas singer-songwriter and US Country star Aaron Watson. We are big fans of Aaron here at LCM HQ and have been greatly enjoying his latest album 'Vanquero'. Our LCM #SongOfTheDay is his latest single, the very catchy 'Run Wild Horses'.
Aaron will be headlining with his band in London on the 7th September at The Dome in Tufnell Park. He will also be at the new 'The Long Road' Festival' in Leicestershire the following day. Catch him if you can.
Aaron Watson isn’t interested in what someone else thinks he should do. But instead of getting lonely as he sidesteps expectations, he’s gaining followers––hundreds of thousands of them. Delivered with a warm smile and fueled by a wild spirit, Aaron's rebellion echoes the land that helped make him.
Aaron remains strikingly similar to the people that still dot his native West Texas. They’re a rugged people, proud of home but humble and hardworking, the first to help a neighbor but also fiercely independent. And he is unquestionably one of them. “I’ve always considered myself an anti-rock star,” he says, his drawl cracking slightly as he grins. “People don’t like me because I’m a rock star. People like me because I’m just like them.”
Throughout his 17-year career that spans a dozen albums and more than 2,500 shows throughout the U.S. and Europe, 39-year-old Aaron has stubbornly and sincerely identified with the everyman, even as he’s proven to be the exception to the rule.
The latest evidence of Aaron's homespun singularity is 'Vaquero', an ambitious 16-song set of character-driven storytelling, level-headed cultural commentary, and love songs for grown- ups that promise to further solidify his status as one of today’s finest torch-bearers of real country music.
Already with a UK Country number one album to their name, our next LCM featured artists are Hampshire based sisters Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas. They will be releasing their highly anticapated third album 'Restless Minds' on October 5th and our LCM #SongOfTheDay is the album's very catchy first single 'Lie Like Me'.
Following the release of their #1 album, ‘Cartwheels’ (2016), Ward Thomas return on scorching form with their third album, ‘Restless Minds’. As 24 year old females who have fought their own way to success and as sharp-eyed songwriters who have long looked outwards for inspiration, they didn’t have to come up with a theme for the album, they tapped in to the zeitgeist without even trying. Observational and opinionated, ‘Restless Minds’ documents their coming of age in an era of anxiety and the impact of social media on a generation for which ‘the truth’ has become a tenuous term. There are songs on the album which touch on gender equality, others explore mental health issues and a couple relate to their own relationship as twins growing up and growing apart.
Written between London, Nashville and Hampshire, ‘Restless Minds’ never stands still musically. Country influences which shaped ‘Cartwheels’ still surface on some songs, less on others. Harmonies still play a large part, but both pushed themselves solo to adapt to punchier sounds. First single 'Lie Like Me' comes with a deceptively sweet, flirtatiously upbeat, guitar-led backing which takes Ward Thomas into new territory and widescreen album opener No Filter shifts back and forth from stately to dreamy with piano, percussion and electronics. Restless Minds is an album for old fans and new.
“We’ve never worked so hard on songs in our lives,” says Catherine. “We had to prove that we’ve progressed and, fingers crossed people will agree.”
One of the fast rising duos currently in London are our next LCM featured artists the wonderful Americana Folk Pop couple O&O. O&O are Colorado-native, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Obadiah Jones and Israeli vocalist, Orian Peled. The two met while studying for a Music BA at Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) where they had the unique opportunity of a one-on-one songwriting session with Sir Paul. Obadiah and Orian have been very busy since settling in London. releasing some great and memorable music as well as performing around the UK, including some major Country, Americana and Folk festivals. Their live show features the duo's distinctive, close-harmony sound with an Americana flare, imagine Fleetwood Mac meets The Civil Wars. With a brand new EP promised, our LCM #SongOfTheDay is the beautiful and sublime 'Tears In The Rain'.
Obadiah and Orian comment “The video for ‘Tears In The Rain’ is our second collaboration with filmmakers Jordan Rawi (director) and William Fielding (director of photography). We shot the whole video in one day at the historic Clementi House in Notting Hill. We wanted the video to reflect the uncertainty of where the relationship in the song stands and add a haunting element. In the video, the two characters are in a mysterious pursuit of each other through the many rooms of the quirky house, but whether or not they could ever find each other again is open to the viewer’s interpretation.”
After select shows in NYC, Nashville and Colorado, O&O relocated to London and released their debut single, 'Traveling' in June 2017. Featured on Chris Country Radio's New Music List and Richer Unsigned's Best of August 2017 playlist.Although new to the London scene, O&O have made their presence felt on the live music circuit this last year with support slots for artists such as Australian Music Award nominees, the Germein Sisters, ahead of the band's appearance at the 2017 Isle of Wight Festival.
We head to Bristol today to meet our next LCM featured artist the fast rising new UK Country star Danny McMahon. We all think here at LCM HQ that Danny has a great future ahead of him and he is currently one of our LCM 'One's to watch' in 2018. Our LCM #SongOfTheDay is the the wonderful 'What's It's Liike' taken from his 'Making Memories' EP. Also please check out his recently released EP 'Momentarily'. A big thank you to Chris from W21 for the introduction.
Danny McMahon has written commercially for paramount songwriting and commercially in the UK country Music scene for a number of years but had never previously seen himself on the front line, as an artist. However, this all changed upon attending Country2Country Festival, London in March 2017 where his experience saw him begin to write lyrics that he felt he could only communicate due to the honest and personal nature of his new works.
As a result of his new-found love for country music and his honest and authentic melodic sound, Danny set up a Facebook page and began to place a selection of covers on his new social media platforms which have only aided in his notable impact within UK country music.
His passion for Country music began upon introduction to the famous Brad Paisley song ‘Letter to me’. He said he ‘connected with the songs’ realness and authenticity’. He became increasingly fixed upon the way country music uses emotive lyrics and shows such a great level of relatability. Danny takes his country influence through artists such as Thomas Rhett, Brett Young and Chase Bryant and wants to use his talent for songwriting to reach people through his music.
Danny released his debut EP ‘Making Memories’ in November 2017 which led to him being voted best UK male country singer by HEM country radio and reaching No.1 in the UK (country) Reverbnation Charts. International attention resulted in Danny being chosen to attend Springboard West Festival, San Diego, California in January 2018. This unique opportunity has allowed Danny to make connections with Nashville producers and US managers, all of which have led to incredible feedback and the communication of a UK-US tour in the summer of 2018.
2018 has seen Danny release his second EP ‘Momentarily’ of which the lead single ‘Move’ which reached #73 in the itunes country chart. He has been nominated for UK country artist and UK male singer of the year at the UK country music awards, has reached the semi-finals of the Unsigned Only 2018 competition with ‘What It’s Like’ and will be supporting US country artist and Nashville Meets London Headliner, Dylan Schneider in Bristol as part of his UK tour.
We stay in the US and travel to the West Coast and sunny LA to meet out next LCM featured band The Dales. They are a five piece Americana roots-rock band, carried by three part harmonies and a deep appreciation for classic songwriting and early country music. The band came together in early 2016 when multi-platinum song writer, Drew Lawrence, (Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts) teamed up with four of his closest friends to begin performing the songs that would become their debut album, "Marie". Our LCM #SongOfTheDay is a beautiful live NRG version of 'Still The Love' taken from their re-released debut album. It remains us a little of Brandi Carlile, we think you are going to like it
A video of their song, "Still the Love" caught the ears of Grammy nominated producer Jerry Streeter (The Lumineers, Brandi Carlile). The song was written as a dedication to bass player Kyle Vanes' girlfriend, Heather Marie Allman who passed from breast cancer the year before.
This led to Jerry producing the bands debut album, "Marie" which was released in August of 2017. The Dales have spent the year on the highways of America supporting acts like the White Buffalo and Cris Jacobs. The group has also headlined sold out shows in Los Angeles as well as the west coast and midwest. Media play soon followed with features on NPR's World Cafe and Acoustic Cafe as well as TV interviews on NBC and ABC.
Ultimately, it only takes a single listen to Marie to understand why The Dales are well poised for their big breakout. In retrospect, they can’t quite be termed an overnight success, due to the fact that Marie wasn’t widely heard or given adequate distribution the first time around. Still, the second time could be the charm. And while the music originated with sadder circumstance, The Dales should find some solace in knowing that they’ve been given another chance to ensure that Marie’s memory lives on.
If you are a big fans of the Eagles then you really need to check out our next LCM featured artists, the excellent Austin based band Midland. We have been championing their music since the release of their debut EP back in the autumn of 2016. Our LCM #SongOfTheDay is their latest single 'Burn Out'. Their debut 'On The Rocks' is a great and for all travelling musicians it makes a fantastic road trip album as well.
Midland were a big hit at C2C 2018 and played a fantastic headline set at Omeara shortly after as well. as part of their first European tour. They are back for a UK tour in November & December, so please check them out live if you can. Their London date is at the O2 SBE on December 6th.
With all the chest-thumping going on in Nashville today, where bluster and swagger have replaced heart and soul, you half expect some of country music's male stars to be sporting bruises. Which is what makes Midland, a trio of friends based in Dripping Springs, Texas, so undeniably refreshing. Made up of singer Mark Wystrach, lead guitarist Jess Carson and bass player Cameron Duddy, Midland is the embodiment of Seventies California country, all smooth Eagles harmonies and heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics. Their songs are intoxicating country sung with the twang of George Strait. And it's impossible to resist.
Midland — the guys took their name from a Dwight Yoakam song — excel in setting a mood, transporting the listener to another place and time. This is music made for wide-open skies, endless deserts and wondering where the road is going to take you next. "We write with a very visual storytelling approach. We paint that big picture and go to that place," says Mark. "Where is this story going? Let's paint it." It's no coincidence then that it was in an especially scenic setting where the band first came together — at Cameron's wedding in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. There, casual friends Cameron and Jess formed a musical and personal bond while picking songs together on Jess's cabin's front porch. The connection was only strengthened when they found themselves jamming with Cameron onstage later that week at his rehearsal dinner. "It was this serendipitous chain of events," says Mark, an Arizona native. "And it was the best week ever." "All of us playing together happened only because Mark and I both showed up in Jackson Hole a week before the wedding with time to kill," adds Jess, originally from the Pacific Northwest. "But, by the end, we knew the three of us had amazing chemistry," says Mark. Armed with the newly married Cameron's nest egg, Mark, Jess and the California-raised Cameron decamped for the Sonic Ranch studio, near El Paso, Texas. They cut 15 songs and, bolstered by the outcome, realized they had a unique sound. "When we went to the Sonic Ranch, we became a band. We walked away believing in what had happened," says Mark. "All of our souls, our imaginations, were wrapped up in these 15 songs. We went all-in." "And then we all moved out to Texas," says Cameron with his gregarious laugh.
Now signed to Big Machine Records, Midland is in the studio refining and expanding their catalog with ace songwriters like Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne. The sessions have yielded some of the most traditional-sounding country music to come out of Nashville in a decade. Lead single "Drinkin’ Problem" evokes Gary Stewart — one of Midland's biggest inspirations, along with Merle Haggard — as Mark croons, "They call it a problem, I call it a solution / just sitting here with all my grand illusions." "It's talking about something that's real, but it's told in a way that it can be tongue-in-cheek, depending on how the audience experiences it," says Mark. Adds Cameron, "Every good country song has that versatility. But the best are the ones you can listen to when you're angry, sad, happy or however you may be feeling." "Electric Rodeo," with its plaintive piano, sweeping strings and high-in-the-saddle chorus, is a prime example of the "picture" the band so often talks about creating. And the majestic "Nothin' New Under the Neon" sounds like vintage Eddie Rabbit.
Whether they intended it or not, Midland have filled a void in country music, and soon they can do likewise on country radio. Like their inspirations the Eagles, they are writing and recording songs with mass appeal. "The commonality with the Eagles is that we set out to make soulful, catchy and accessible music," says Mark. "Our greatest compliment is when somebody who says they're not a country music fan says they really like our songs." But those songs succeed because of one key ingredient: the friendship of Mark, Jess and Cameron. To a number, they each agree it's their secret formula. "Midland isn't manufactured," says Cameron. "We are three real friends who stumbled upon making music together." "We are a band," adds Jess. "That's a big part of the spirit of what we do, that group experience and camaraderie. And it is ever-evolving." Midland's music is truly a sound decades in the making that’s just right for today.
Our LCM featured artist today is the excellent Rotherham-born but now Manchester based singer-songwriter Lauren Housley and her world class band. Lauren has today released the video to her great new single 'My Sleeping heart', which is also our LCM #SongOfTheDay. The single is set for release on the 29th June. The song is a collaboration with musical partner Thomas Dibb and it was inspired by a conversation with a broken-hearted man sat at the bar in Dee’s Country Cocktail Lounge in Nashville.
“I understood where this man was coming from. He had been carrying the hurt from a past love for a long time and was finally making peace with it. As soon as I got back to the room, I picked up the guitar and started writing My Sleeping Heart,” explains Lauren.
The track is the first single taken from Lauren's fabulous upcoming EP, set for release in the autumn. In 2017 Lauren and her band traveled to Nashville to perform at the Americana Music Festival and they found plenty of inspiration in one of America's premier music cities.
The 'My Sleeping Heart' UK Tour will be supported with Lauren's biggest live shows to date in June and July. She’ll be joined Thomas Dibb (Guitar, Vocals), co-producer Mark Lewis (Bass, Vocals), Xavier Winton (Drums) and Billy Bragg’s trusty sideman C.J. Hillman (Pedal Steel, Guitar).
You can see them at the following dates:
Tickets for the shows are available from https://www.seetickets.com/tour/lauren-housley-july-uk-tour.
Our LCM featured artist tonight is one of the fast rising stars of US Country the wonderful Lindsay Ell. Our LCM #SongOfTheDay is her latest single a cover of 'Dreaming With A Broken Heart' taken from her excellent brand new fantastic reworking of John Mayer's 'Continuum' album released on May 25th.. Also check out her great debut album 'The Project'.
For rising star Lindsay Ell, her debut album on Stoney Creek Records has been a long time coming … but you can’t rush personal discovery. Sent on a mission to unleash the vibrant, soul-bearing country artist long predicted by fans and critics alike, Lindsay's journey is now complete – and she calls the result simply, 'The Project'.
Comprised of 12 gripping, heart-on-her-sleeve tracks and produced by Sugarland’s Kristian Bush, The Project is the musical calling card Lindsay been working toward her whole life – from her childhood in Calgary, Alberta; through her time opening shows for blues legend Buddy Guy; and even with attention-grabbing country singles “Trippin’ On Us” and “By the Way.”
Grooving, diverse, and emotionally charged, it’s easy to hear what Lindsay means. The Project reveals every aspect of her abundant talent – from her fiery guitar prowess to her crisp, inviting vocals … and even her new knack for vulnerable song craft.
It’s funky, bluesy, and full of pop-country sweetness, but also delicate and – at times – brutally honest, as Lindsay's heart is placed front and center on each track. She embraces the anything-goes fun of country’s future but also holds fast to its traditions, focusing on real instruments and co-writing nine of The Project’s songs to create something both unique and self-assured. For the first time, Lindsay's music feels 100 percent “Lindsay,” and part of the reason for that is the growing up she’s done over the past few years.
The young star has traveled the world with The Band Perry and Luke Bryan, showcased her multi-instrumental dexterity as one of CMT’s Next Women of Country, and is currently trading guitar solos with Brad Paisley on his 2017 Weekend Warrior World Tour. Plus, she and country radio personality Bobby Bones went public about falling for each other, leading to an outpouring of support and inspiring her to open up like never before on her critically-acclaimed 2017 EP, Worth the Wait.
We stay in sunny London today to meet our next LCM featured artist Amy Lawton, a wonderful new singer-songwriter originally from Manchester & Loughborough. Our LCM #SongOfTheDay is Amy's latest upbeat country pop single 'Hurts Like Paradise', which really reminds us of a early country-era Talyor Swift, Charlotte Campbell and Katie Nicholas. Amy wrote the song alongside the multi-platinum selling hit songwriter Matty Benbrook (Paolo Nutini, Jack Savoretti, Dido) and she has also worked with the likes of Dee Adams (Diana Vickers, Newton Faulkner), Jess Sherman (Ward Thomas), Pam Sheyne (Christina Aguilera, Corinne Bailey Rae) and Paul Herman (Dido).
Coming armed with experience well beyond her 20 years, Amy has been honing her craft on the London live scene, playing at venues all over the capital, including Ronnie Scott's, The Troubadour and many more. Her biggest show came as support to Jack Savoretti last year at London’s Cadogan Hall. More recently, she’s held a six-week residency at the West End nightspot Mahiki earlier this year. Also please check out Amy's debut single 'Undone' which received much praise when it was released last September.
Amy will be making her very first festival appearance this week at The Great Escape, where she will play The Chillout Sessions, Caffe Nero on Friday at 1pm. She’s also announced two London live shows and will play Ronnie Scott’s on June 5th and The Lock Tavern on June 12th.
