T.G.SHEPPARD’S NOTHIN’ ON BUT THE RADIO

Country music’s icon T.G. Sheppard brings his 1997 album, ‘Nothin’ On But The Radio,’ to streaming services for the first time ever. Throughout his career, Sheppard had assembled a collection of songs he loved and always hoped to record, holding on to some for quite a while, by his own admission. By 1997, he finally had the opportunity to record them, resulting in ‘Nothin’ On But The Radio.’

T.G. Sheppard continues to experience a huge surge in his career with “The T.G. Sheppard Show” on SiriusXM Radio’s Prime Country Channel. His latest album release, ‘Midnight In Memphis’ (produced by T.G.

GRACE LEER’S

“MY MIND’S MADE UP”

Emerging artist Grace Leer is back with new music and it could be her best song yet if the fan reaction is any indicator. “My Mind’s Made Up,” written by Leer, Nick Wayne and Dan Agee, is the epitome of what country music is all about – a story sung in a way so real, about something so real, that nearly everyone can relate. There’s nothing harder to do than admitting being wrong about a partner and the hardest person to admit that to is yourself, yet Leer details it eloquently. Growing up on artists like The Chicks and Martina McBride, Leer’s storytelling is impeccable.

Grace Leer is a California native that began singing at the age of six. Instead of skipping college, Leer followed her athletic passion by playing D1 soccer at the University of California, Berkeley. She made the move to Nashville four years ago and appeared in the Top 10 on Season 18 of ABC’s American Idol. Since then, Leer has secured a record deal via 19 Recordings, Inc. and has spent the last year writing and recording music for her self-titled debut EP, available now. Leer recently performed the National Anthem at the SheBelieves Cup in Nashville at Geodis Park.

The Scorpions Colours Of Rock

Saying that the Scorpions can look back on an eventful history as a band would be an understatement. Their spectacular story is now becoming a new and very colourful experience: With Scorpions – Colours of Rock, BMG is announcing the reissue of five album highlights by the legendary German hard rock band – now appearing on coloured vinyl. Alongside versions of Fly To The Rainbow, In Trance and Virgin Killer, remastered for the first time ever, are further handpicked treasures including Tokyo Tapes and Taken By Force.

The reissued albums can be pre-ordered on https://Scorpions.lnk.to/ColoursOfRock and will be released on June 16, 2023.

`A particular treat for hard-core Scorpions fans, of course, must definitely be the four albums remastered for the first time in history:

“Fly To The Rainbow” (1974) already showed strong hard rock influences and already foreshadowed where the band would later go musically. “In Trance” (1975) was the Scorpions’ first work recorded together with producer Dieter Dierks. With their shortest album, the 35-minute “Virgin Killer” (1976), the band moved another step away from psychedelic influences and towards hard rock.

Tesla Full Throttle Live

TESLA is a notorious band for one thing; being a high-energy, 100% live, kick-ass rock and roll band in concert! FULL THROTTLE LIVE captures this essence from a stop at the Sturgis Bike Rally in 2022 Independently recorded, mixed, and produced by bassist Brian Wheat and guitarist Frank Hannon, this new live album captures TESLA in honest form and even dives deeper into their roots by recording a live version of the 1974 Aerosmith classic “SOS Too Bad” as a bonus track.

“MILES AWAY” is the lead-off single release from TESLA’s new live album FULL THROTTLE LIVE! The guys chose to put this song out first because it represents TESLA and the new live album’s harder heavier sound. “MILES AWAY” is a fan favorite in concert with its heavy 6/8 rolling groove and blistering guitar solo.
