JASON LEE MCKINNEY BAND TIGHTENS ITS ELECTRIC BLEND OF SOULFUL, SOUTHERN SOUNDS WITH PIECES
American roots-rock group hits another creative peak with eighth album

MEMPHIS, TN — Award-winning songwriter. College music professor. Road warrior. One of the most active frontmen in modern-day roots music, Jason Lee McKinney has spent the past decade in an absolute whirl of activity, earning an international following along the way.

He hits a new creative peak with Pieces, the eighth studio album from Jason Lee McKinney Band. Recorded with Grammy-nominated producer Kevin Houston (Buddy Guy, Robert Plant, Lucero) at Jim Dickinson’s Zebra Ranch (North Mississippi Allstars), the album whips up McKinney's own form of soulful American gumbo, finding room for roadhouse rock & roll, bluesy slide guitar, stomping grooves, countrified soul, and the larger-than-life swagger of McKinney's voice. Separately, these are the individual pieces of Jason Lee McKinney Band's sound. Together, they form something raw, raucous, and redemptive — a recipe that's worth revisiting again and again.

Lean and lively, Pieces shines a light on McKinney's songwriting, which has already earned the group a Top 10 hit in Texas (2016's "Lisha's Leaving"), an ever-growing number of national and international tours, and multiple industry awards, including a Josie Music Award for Male R&B Vocalist of the Year in 2019 and an Independent Country Music Association award for Artist of the Year in 2014. Mixed with contributions from longtime bandmates Barry Strauser and Billy Wright, as well as background vocals from fellow Memphis-based soul artists Reba Russell and Susan Marshall, those songwriting chops serve as the bedrock for some of the band's most groove-heavy performances to date.

"I’ve always loved the groove and musicianship of funk and jam bands," says McKinney. "I just wondered if the wide open arrangements caused some people to overlook how amazing the songs were. I aimed to write songs with the musicianship, grooves and melodies of those types of bands, but with tighter, cleaner arrangements."

Fueled by bluesy bombast and twin guitar leads, "Normal is Just an Exit" kickstarts Pieces with plenty of fiery fretwork. It's the title track, though, that fully embodies the album's concept. Co-written with McKinney's son, Zion, "Pieces" is a tribute to new beginnings and forward momentum, set to a soundtrack of anthemic melodies, searing guitar, and gospel harmonies. "This song is the essence of the whole record," says McKinney. "It bonds elements of the band’s sound together so thoroughly, it creates a new compound."

A rock & roll intellectual who holds a Doctorate, an MBA, and a BA in Management, Jason Lee McKinney is smart enough to know when he's creating his best work. And Pieces — released via Bonfire Music Group and filled with diverse, driven songs that are every bit as electrifying as the band's celebratory live show — represents another musical milestone, pairing some of McKinney's sharpest writing to date with a band that continues to fire on all cylinders. Full speed ahead!

Roots-rock ‘n’ roll at its finest! The Gary Douglas Band is releasing their most powerful song and music video to date. The song “Deep in the Water” (Redeux) highlights the band’s passionate fight for the speechless/voiceless beings of this planet. “Deep in the Water” is a summary of Douglas’ fight for the victims of chemical giant DuPont’s illegal dumping into the Ohio River. The song is a timeless American classic with a pure taste of heartland rock n roll.

Scott Shipley is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and a sixth generation 'card-totin Hillbilly' from the Missouri Ozarks. Born into a family with a musical background, Scott began performing at the age of five. After announcing to his parents at the age of three that he was "going to play music for a living" when he grew up, they went into the studio and hit the road. His first bunk on the family tour bus was a bus wheel. He literally grew up on the road. In his nearly four decades in the business, Scott's travels have taken him across 48 states, five continents, and 27 countries.
Scott has been blessed to share the stage with many of his musical heroes such as Johnny Cash, Bill Monroe, Porter Wagoner, Kid Rock, and many others in every genre of music. Known for his 'without a net' style, his performances range from edge of your seat lightning fast Bluegrass, to classic Rock & Roll, to deep swamp blues, to his own unique brand of Hillbilly music. He's as likely to cover an Edgar Allan Poe poem as he is to do a Johnny Cash medley. When performing solo, he incorporates a bevy of instruments from guitars of every flavor, to dulcimer, mandolin, banjo, pedal steel guitar, harmonica, drums which he plays with his feet while playing guitar with his hands, to his most recent inclusion.......the theremin.
All of these things combined make for a musical experience to remember from the Original Renaissance Hillbilly!

From the moment the banjitar intro starts and the drum shuffle kicks in you just can’t stop tappin’ your feet and once the chorus hits, you just won’t get this song out of your head. Such is the infectiousness of ‘We Had Good Thing Goin’ written by Marty Rhone & Australia’s most successful & prolific country song writer Garth Porter.

Both writers roots were ground in pop/rock back in the halcyon days of the 70’s but in the case of Marty it was his first country song ‘Graceland on the Line’, released to coincide with the 40th Anniversary of the sad passing of Elvis Presley that saw him catapulted into the country spotlight and offered a US album deal by renowned producer David J Holman at Cactus Studios (Gwen Steffani, No Doubt, Xanadu).

Marty Rhone’s career as a singer & actor has few boundaries and one that few can match. A support to the Rolling Stones and appearances with John Denver, Christopher Cross & the Bee Gees. No1 hit records, the London West End stage with Yul Brynner, a Broadway musical revival with Lou Diamond Phillips (Longmire, La Bamba), film & TV roles. It might explain why this Melbourne, Australia boy chose New York as his new home. It is after all just a quick plane flight to Nashville which is a lot closer than Oz.

http://www.alanturnermusic.com - Southeast Michigan gives rise to some amazing talent in the music industry, and Alan Turner is definitely no exception. Blasting onto the local country music scene in September 2007 as Cowboy Alan and The Steel Horse Band, Alan Turner jets off the stage to mingle with the crowd throughout his performance with his non-stop mix of traditional country with a rockin’ edge like no other. Playing well over 150 shows a year since his debut, his name is spreading like wildfire throughout the U.S and Canada. From local honky tonks to major concert and festival venues, this country artist screams entertainment at a level not seen since Garth Brooks.

Alan’s voice is rich baritone that pours “country” into every note he sings. His love for music was passed on from his father, Canadian singer/songwriter Stanley Turner (03/26/1924-11/23/1977), and he has been performing since childhood. After raising his family, he reintroduced himself to the local country music scene by winning a local radio station singing competition. This allowed him to open for national recording artist Keith Anderson, and after the publicity that the show generated, he was quickly approached about taking his talent to the next level. He hasn’t looked back.

Every great singer needs a great band and in the case of Alan Turner, The Steel Horse Band definitely fits the bill. Comprised of some of the best local talent this side of Nashville, the band consists of Jim Kaatz on lead guitar, Randy Lopez, bass guitar, Bill Donahue, keyboards/fiddle/mandolin, drummer Christopher Burrows and Sarah Faith singing backup vocals/acoustic guitar... all lend their astonishing musical and vocal talents to the mix. Combined with Alan’s voice, they truly have made their mark as a band to be reckoned with.
