SUMMARY:David Lee Murphy
DESCRIPTION:David Lee Murphy is best recognized by his massive hit single “Dust On The Bottle”. But he is also known as one of Country Music’s best songwriters. He has written songs for superstar artists like Kenny Chesney\, Jason Aldean\, Luke Bryan\, Eric Church\, Florida Georgia Line\, Keith Urban\, Brad Paisley\, Brooks & Dunn\, Hank Williams\, Jr. and others. \nMurphy developed his musical style as a teenager in Southern Illinois. Although both parents were schoolteachers\, he was an indifferent student. Instead of studying books\, he studied the sounds of such “outlaw” country musicians as Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. He was also deeply influenced by southern rock bands such as Lynyrd Skynyrd\, The Allman Brothers and ZZ Top. \nPursuing a career in music\, Murphy moved to Nashville and spent years honing his craft as a songwriter. He also formed a band\, The Blue Tick Hounds\, and played the honkytonks of Middle Tennessee and clubs throughout the South. \n“I really concentrated on my songwriting”\, Murphy states. “I wanted to get better so I could record my own songs.” Several rough demos of Murphy’s compositions\, including the song “Party Crowd” caught the attention of MCA executive Renee Bell who passed Murphy’s music along to Grammy and CMA Award winning producer Tony Brown (George Strait\, Reba McEntire\, Vince Gill and others). After hearing the song demos\, Brown\, who had been following Murphy’s progress as a performer and songwriter\, decided it was time to sign Murphy as an artist to MCA Records. \nMurphy’s debut platinum selling album for the label\, Out With A Bang\, produced a string of hits including the title track “Out With A Bang”\, “Fish Ain’t Bitin’” and “Just Once”\, which was featured in the movie 8 Seconds about bull rider Lane Frost. Also on that album were the hit singles “Party Crowd” (Radio & Records awarded it most played song on Country Radio in 1995) and the #1 single “Dust On The Bottle”. Both songs have become staples at Country Radio. \nMurphy’s follow-up album Gettin’ Out The Good Stuff spawned the hit singles “Every Time I Get Around You”\, “The Road You Leave Behind”\, “Breakfast In Birmingham” and the cult classic “Genuine Rednecks”. \nMurphy went onto record two more albums. We Can’t All Be Angels produced the hit single\, “All Lit Up In Love” and “We Can’t All Be Angels” that was featured in the Patrick Swayze movie Blackdog. Murphy’s album Tryin’ To Get There (the title track he wrote with friend and musical hero Waylon Jennings) produced the Top 5 single “Loco”. \nMurphy decided to take a break from recording as an artist and concentrate on full time songwriting. He has earned over two dozen songwriting awards for songs he has written for superstars like Kenny Chesney\, Jason Aldean\, Luke Bryan\, Keith Urban\, Florida Georgia Line\, Thomas Rhett\, Eric Church\, Brad Paisley\, Hank Williams Jr.\, Brooks & Dunn\, Reba McEntire and others. Some of his hits include songs by Kenny Chesney (“Here And Now”\, “Live A Little”\, “Living In Fast Forward”\, “Pirate Flag”\, “’Til It’s Gone”); Jason Aldean (“Big Green Tractor”\, “The Only Way I Know”); Jake Owen (“Anywhere With You”); Thompson Square (Grammy-nominated “Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not”); Kip Moore (“Last Shot”); Justin Moore (“Why We Drink”); Gary Allan (“A Feelin’ Like That”); Josh Thompson (“Way Out Here”) and Blackberry Smoke (“Good One Coming On”). \nMurphy was content writing songs and touring. He had no plans to record another album. But country music superstar Kenny Chesney convinced him otherwise. \n“I’ve been friends and written songs with Kenny (Chesney) for years\,” Murphy reflects. “I sent him some songs for one of his albums a couple of years ago\, and he called me up. He goes\, ‘Man\, you need to be making a record. I could produce it with Buddy Cannon\, and I think people would love it.’ It’s hard to say no to Kenny Chesney when he comes up with an idea like that.” \n“Kenny was really influential in the songs that we picked\,” says Murphy. “Over the course of the next year or so\, we got together\, talked about it and picked out songs. I wanted to record songs of mine that people haven’t heard before\, that are new. We wanted to make the kind of album that you would listen to if you were camping or out on a lake\, fishing. Or sitting anywhere\, just having a good time.” \nThe album titled No Zip Code\, contains 11 songs written by Murphy with some of Nashville’s finest songwriters. It yielded the # 1 single and duet with Chesney\, “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” and earned Murphy his first CMA Award for Musical Event of the Year \nDespite all his success as an artist\, Murphy always goes back to his love of songwriting. He was inducted into the esteemed Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Class of 2023 along with Keith Urban\, Kix Brooks\, Casey Beathard and Rafe Van Hoy. \n“I’ve had a crazy good time\,” says Murphy. “I’ve been really fortunate. A lot of great artists have recorded my songs. I get up every day and get to do something I really love to do\, which is write songs. I get to be with artists and the best songwriters anywhere. Plus\, I get to record. I sing the demos of the songs\, so I’m making little records and being in the studio”.  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Dusty Slay: The Night Shift Tour
DESCRIPTION:Long hair\, tobacco\, over-sized glasses and a trucker hat\, Dusty Slay is the self-effacing bourbon-voiced Southern comedian next door with a knack for observational\, blue-collar humor and the nerve to say what everyone else is thinking. He grew up the son of a single mom in an Alabama trailer park and evokes laughs about everything from Cracker Barrel to his aversion to soap. The 40-year-old Nashville native is a mainstay on the country music scene\, making his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2019 – the youngest at the time\, and adding dozens of appearances in the historic Circle ever since. He has also appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel Live\, has a Comedy Central special to his credit and just released his first hour-long Netflix special “Workin’ Man” that he filmed about three hours from home\, at the Bijou theater in Knoxville\, Tennessee. With almost 20 years of eliciting guffaws through his laid back observations\, comedic cadence and conversational style\, Dusty is just getting started bringing his brand of relatable working-class comedy to audiences coast to coast. Slay recently announced his 35-show “The Night Shift Tour” in support of the new special. See below for tour routing and more details can be found at DustySlay.com.

SUMMARY:Wood Box Heroes
DESCRIPTION:Woodbox Heroes\, the American acoustic super-group\, is hardly anything like the bluegrass music you used to find in the cassette player of your grandad’s old chevy pickup truck. Deeply rooted in tradition while melding together an eclectic-array of sounds from the country\, bluegrass\, blues\, jazz\, rock\, and classical varieties\, paired with crafty and authentic songwriting\, the band delivers a piercing listening experience that plunges deep into the caverns of the soul. \nBringing together some of the world’s most highly lauded musicians in Matt Menefee (banjo-Mumford & Sons\, Cadillac Sky\, Warren Haynes)\, and Barry Bales (bass-Alison Krauss & Union Station) backing up the vocal magic of Jenee Fleenor (fiddle-Blake Shelton\, Larry Cordle) and Josh Martin (singer/songwriter/guitarist)\, this unit has over a century of musical seasoning between them. Yet\, it is quite astonishing that the years spent on separate roads\, accompanying a spectrum of incredible artists and receiving some of the most sought-after honors and awards in the business\, has led to this enigmatic musical intersection.
