    Oct 4, 2022


    LOS ANGELES, October 4, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    After earning critical and audience acclaim during three successful runs spread between Los Angeles and Austin, Texas, Paradise The Movie, LLC announces that the bluegrass musical Paradise, a Town of Sinners & Saints has been transformed into a high-quality cinematic experience.

    Paradise, a Town of Sinners & Saints is a collaboration between writer/producers Tom Sage and Bill Robertson, both alumni of National Lampoon Magazine, and composer/lyricist/musical director Cliff Wagner, who found national fame when he and his band The Old #7 (“Hobo’s Lullaby”) performed on Fox’s The Next Great American Band.

    Drawing comparisons to Book of Mormon, Avenue Q, and Once, among other musicals, Paradise, a Town of Sinners & Saints is a bluegrass musical comedy where good and evil fight for the soul of a dried-up coal mining town. The stage production was described by Austin 360 as “Simultaneously smart, funny and pointedly critical of the hypocrisies of much of our current culture,” while the Santa Monica Daily Press declared, “It’s a foot-stomping, hilarious, naughty musical that will leave you smiling throughout.”

    Regarding the music, Jesse Griffith offered the following rave on Broadway World Austin:

    “The book is chock-full of clever one-liners and each character has at least one song with which to showcase their talents. One of the complaints I’ve heard from those who claim they don’t like musicals is that the songs are too long. Not so with Paradise. They are just right and skillfully placed to help further the plot. All in all, Paradise is a thoroughly entertaining show with something for everyone. Musicals this charming just can’t be beat.”

    Paradise, a Town of Sinners & Saints, which stars Mary Sarah, a finalist on The Voice, as well as Diane Delano (Me Time), Raquel Castro (Jersey Girl), Dave Florek (NCIS), Jon Root (Avenue Q), Casey Ford Alexander (Dopesick) Edward Singletary Jr. (American Crime Story) and Eric Casalini (88). It was directed by Justin Ward, co-writer/director of The Meanest Man in Texas and writer/director/producer of Relish. The latter film recently won Best Feature Film and Best Original Screenplay at the Madrid International Film Festival, and Ward is currently in post-production on his latest film, The Furry Fortune, which has already found distribution. Working behind the scenes on Paradise is producer Brad Wilson, whose 11-year alliance with Oscar-winning actor Robert Duvall led the two gentlemen to collaborate on 18 films together, including Colors and Days of Thunder.

    “With the help of Justin and Brad, we were able to take a successful stage production and create a low-budget feature film so we could reach more people with our toe-tapping, crazy funny, musical,” said Sage and Robertson. “It’s an irreverent, heartfelt bluegrass comedy that brings everyone together.”

    Paradise, a Town of Sinners & Saints is currently in post-production, with a release date still TBD. For more information as the film works its way toward theaters, visit the official website or follow the musical on its various social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. 

    The stage productions were produced by Kevin & Geric Frost, along with the Ruskin Group Theatre.

    Boilerplate: 
    Tom Sage, Bill Robertson, Cliff Wagner and Justin Ward are a group of creatives who strive to reach as many people as possible with edgy, thought-provoking material made into high-quality productions. Their film collaboration, Paradise, a Town of Sinners & Saints, is a bluegrass musical comedy in the tradition of Book of Mormon, Avenue Q, and Once, about the fight between good and evil for the soul of a dried-up coal mining town. Writers Sage and Robertson imbue the film with the comedic talents they developed at National Lampoon and in movie scripts for Lifetime network and other productions, while Wagner, the Mississippi-born composer, lyricist and musical director, is nationally known for a deep run on FOX TVs “The Next Great American Band” and his Americana album Hobo’s Lullaby, which charted in the United States and Europe. Ward, the director, has worked under Robert Redford, Terrence Malick and Norman Jewison. Ward’s films “The Meanest Man In Texas” and “Relish,” have won dozens of awards, including Best Feature Film and Best Original Screenplay at the Madrid  International Film Festival, and Best Drama Feature at the Burbank International Film Festival. Paradise, a Town of Sinners & Saints is now in post-production and is expected to be released in 2023.

    NASHVILLE, Tenn., September 22, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Stone Country Records up-and-comer Ben Gallaher puts imagery to his upcoming radio single in the video for his latest release “Still A Few Cowboys Left,” out today. Shot and directed by Bobby Wolff, Gallaher shares the spotlight with Boots O’Neal as the visual chronicles a day in the life of the legendary cowboy. The video, which premiered yesterday (9/21) with CMT.com and CMT Music, also highlights the next generation of younger cowboys — both played by ranchers’ sons — all set on a scenic Texas ranch. 

    Watch the official video for “Still A Few Cowboys Left” HERE. 

    “The ‘Still a Few Cowboys Left’ music video represents the spirit of a true cowboy,” Gallaher exclusively told CMT. “This way of life is portrayed as a metaphor to highlight the character and values of a hardworking, loyal individual. This embodies the true message of the song.” 

    Co-written by the rising star along with hit writers Neil Thrasher and Tony Martin and produced by Neil Thrasher and Patrick Thrasher, “Still A Few Cowboys Left” — which celebrates the best of humanity — highlights the honorable characteristics a traditional cowboy represents: a focus on faith, family and hard work. Taste of Country called it a “country-rocker” and mused the “song’s urgent message resonates deep in 2022,” while The Boot praised Gallaher’s “spirited performance” in communicating “a lot of what needs to be said today” (Country Evolution).  

    About Ben Gallaher:

    A self-taught musician with a strong reverence for guitar masters, Ben Gallaher’s songs radiate a passion for the lyric-driven country music that influenced him as a young boy listening to his parents’ radio in small-town Pennsylvania. The burgeoning star’s vocals exude a smoky texture reflective of the backwoods bars in which the young artist honed his unbridled stagecraft, driving to the Eastern corridor to perform each weekend while pursuing a degree in Entertainment Industry Studies at Nashville’s Belmont University.

    Lauded by American Songwriter magazine as “a promising young songwriter,” Gallaher has also earned a fast-growing fanbase due to his commanding guitar prowess and energetic live shows while opening for the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Hank Williams Jr., Blake Shelton, 3 Doors Down, and Lee Brice, and has toured the Pennsylvania State Prisons for over a decade on his annual headlining “Prison Tour.”

    Gallaher’s latest single “Still A Few Cowboys Left” was co-written by the rising star alongside chart-topping songwriters Neil Thrasher and Tony Martin. The tune — which was co-produced by Neil Thrasher and Patrick Thrasher — highlights the honorable characteristics a traditional cowboy represents: a focus on faith, family and hard work.

  • BluWave-ai and Summerside Deliver 100% Solar Powered Concert During Bryan Adams’ 2022 Canadian Tour

    BluWave-ai and Summerside Deliver 100% Solar Powered Concert During Bryan Adams’ 2022 Canadian Tour

    [ad_1]

    First 100% Directly Connected, Time Shifted, Solar Energy Powered Indoor Rock Concert in North America

    Press Release
    –

    Sep 12, 2022


    SUMMERSIDE, Prince Edward Island, September 12, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    The City of Summerside and BluWave-ai completed the first 100% time-shifted solar energy powered concert in North America. This feat took place on the first stop of the 2022 Canadian Tour of globally renowned Canadian musician, Bryan Adams, at the Credit Union Place in Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada from 8-11 pm on Tuesday, August 31st. The concert was run indoors at night leveraging solar and battery solutions. This milestone for BluWave-ai and Summerside is building off of their shared project, the Canadian Smart Grid AI Center of Excellence at the City of Summerside, announced earlier this year.

    Leveraging the BluWave-ai energy optimization platform running in the cloud, BluWave-ai Edge and BluWave-ai Center, the partners were able to predict solar production during the day of August 31st. Through this, they could store sufficient solar capacity in a 890 kWh battery to cover the projected energy demand of the concert such as lighting, audio equipment, and air conditioning. With a day of immense solar fluctuations, the system was able to operate the building in advance of the concert while storing enough solar energy to drive the concert in the evening.

    Once the concert started, the automated platform took over to detect the increased load created by the concert and peripheral elements and managed the stored solar energy to supply the concert load over the 3 hour period.

    Below is how the system played out on concert day:

    • The AI platform left enough battery capacity unfilled during the night of August 30th to August 31st to fill the battery with solar production at the Summerside CUP on the day of the Bryan Adams concert, August 31st.
    • From approximately 8:00 am to 12:00 pm AST the battery was loaded with 496kWh of coincidental solar produced energy by setting thresholds. This way, solar generated over capacity was moved to the battery for the concert in the evening while the rest of the facility could run on a combo of Summerside Wind Power and regular grid power.
    • Baselining of the overall facility power usage from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm AST on days without a concert showed the electricity load. During this time averaged 718.5 kWh for the facility with no concert.
    • During the 3 hour concert the facility used 1173 kWh. The total incremental energy from the concert was 454.5 kWh compared to regular days.
    • During the concert the BluWave-ai system delivered 496kWh of time-shifted green solar power via the battery or an average of 165kW per hour more, covering the entire needs of the concert and associated climate control.

    To showcase the performance of the BluWave-ai Canadian Smart Grid Center of excellence which works with Summerside’s wind farm, solar array, battery storage, grid connection, and smart metering assets, the cloud-based AI optimization platform was able to deliver a 100% solar powered concert with less than 24 hours to configure, commission, and operationalize to support the new demand of the system to support the green rock concert.

    In November 2021, BluWave‐ai and the City of Summerside announced the completion of the first-end to-end AI‐optimized grid in North America, the first industry proof point of a scalable system applicable to entire regions and countries for transitioning energy networks toward maximizing the use of renewable assets. In 2021, BluWave-ai was awarded a major contract to advance Summerside’s system utility manager software to integrate a new 26‐megawatt Solar and Battery project.

    The test during the Bryan Adams August 31st concert used a subset of the Summerside smart grid and AI control system to manage operations, perfectly matching solar powering the concert load.

    “As a testament to the robustness and flexibility of the BluWave-ai energy optimization platform, and with very short notice, the system was able to manage energy use at the arena to supply the concert with 100% solar energy,” said Devashish Paul, CEO of BluWave-ai. “Once the constraints were identified, the automated platform took over. This proved a compelling use case for time-shifting solar energy which is applicable for large commercial enterprises, electric vehicle fleets and for supporting the grid with demand response and resiliency without resorting to diesel backup generators and shows another example of our company’s live real-time deployments on streaming data and renewable energy assets.”

    “Summerside is committed to growing our net zero economy and leading PEI’s Clean Tech Innovations has invested in the smart grid, building renewable energy generation and creating the CUP Arena microgrid with the solar and battery energy storage system from Samsung C&T. We brought in BluWave-ai as a partner to set up the Canadian Smart Grid AI Center of Excellence and provide the AI-enabled control of the city smart grid,” said Mike Thususka, Summerside Director of Economic Development. “To showcase our capabilities as a leading North American municipality, we decided to deliver a 100% green solar energy concert experience at our arena. We continue to invest in our green future and by 2023 with the Sunbank solar and storage facility, Summerside will be running off 70% renewable energy with an eye to hit 100% in the very near future. Industries setting up operations in Summerside may be eligible for various clean tech and first customer experiences using Summerside’s leading edge infrastructure which we demonstrated at the concert working with our partners BluWave-ai.”

    “SDTC has been a proud supporter of BluWave-ai’s data-driven AI technology since 2018,” said Leah Lawrence, President of SDTC. “What better way to showcase the power of this homegrown Canadian innovation than by running a major concert event from one of our country’s rock icons off of solar energy! Congratulations to the team at BluWave-ai and the City of Summerside for leading the way in making the entertainment industry more sustainable as we move towards Net Zero.”

    Even following a partially cloudy day, Summerside and BluWave-ai delivered a 100% solar energy power for the Bryan Adams concert by time shifting solar energy over-production to the evening and matching it to the concert load. This proved that the entertainment and sports events industry can run their events without depending on elaborate carbon-emitting diesel generation backup systems for resiliency when solar powered batteries can be connected to events. In Summerside’s case, the battery and solar generation are on site. For concert locations without this capability, batteries can be charged off-site and moved to the venue by electric trucking rather than by installing diesel generators moved by diesel-powered trucks, enabling a similar 100% clean operation.

    To learn more about decarbonizing your city, utility or enterprise applications, please contact info@bluwave-ai.com.

    BluWave-ai Research Note: According to existing public documentation of equivalent sized or larger solar installations at sporting and entertainment facilities across North America, none of the facilities which exceed Summerside’s solar capacity have sufficient storage capacity to run a 3 hour 400+ kWh concert event with purely stored, locally generated solar energy.

    Featuring Classic and Never-Before-Recorded Chant Alongside Glorious Polyphony from the Monks of Clear Creek

    Sep 9, 2022


    LOS ANGELES, September 9, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Today, Sept. 9, De Montfort Music, under its new home at Sophia Music Group, marks the release of Rorate Cœli: Marian Sounds of Advent by The Monks of Clear Creek.  This will be the first global release from the recently inked label signing with The Monks of Clear Creek.  Established out of France’s venerable Notre-Dame de Fontgombault Abbey, of the Solesmes Congregation, this growing U.S. monastic community is based in the U.S. Ozarks. The Monks of Clear Creek is comprised of over 60 men, representing a variety of cultural backgrounds. Both Benedictine tradition and the Clear Creek community’s heritage as part of the Solesmes Congregation entail a great appreciation for the ancient, sacred music of Gregorian chant – the plainchant that started developing as long ago as the ninth century, enduring across many civilizations to the present day.  

    About the music-making at Clear Creek Abbey, Abbot Philip Anderson says: “The power of music is that it does amazing things in one’s soul, something that even Plato recognized. This chant is a vehicle that allows us to express the faith and prayer of praise that’s so characteristic of the Benedictine way of life. Marrying sacred texts to music, to singing, can result in a beautiful experience.”

    The album was produced and engineered by the multiple Grammy Award-winning producer Brad Michel, who describes The Monks’ music as “not performed, but rather lived and believed… When an artist is living every word like that, it’s impossible not to get caught up in the experience.”

    ‘Rorate Cœli’ follows other successful recordings from De Montfort Music/AimHigher, who accounted for many of Billboard’s #1 Classical Traditional Album Imprints of the past decade. Recorded in surround sound for release with Apple Music’s Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, ‘Rorate Cœli’ features music from a Mass of Our Lady in Advent and a Mass for the Vigil of Christmas, which were recorded at Clear Creek Abbey. Some pieces on the album are sung by the entire group, some by smaller ensembles of monks and others by soloists, lending a vast range of sound and color to this classic new recording.

    NEW YORK, September 2, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Renowned artist & musician Alan Robert, best known for being the primary songwriter and bassist for Life of Agony and the creator of the hit IDW Publishing book series The Beauty of Horror, is also a man who would not take it anymore. Robert embraces his inner Travis Bickle in the new music video for “Damaged Goods” from his punk rock side project Spoiler NYC, distributed by Wasted Talent Entertainment. The band, along with director Derek Soto, hit the mean streets of New York City to re-create shots from Scorsese’s cult-classic Taxi Driver, with Robert in the iconic mohawk and unmistakable checkered cab.

    “There’s no sicker feeling in the world than driving down the streets of New York in an old cab dressed like Travis Bickle,” laughs Robert. “Random strangers were running over to snap selfies with me, thinking we were filming a sequel or something!” 

    Watch the music video for Spoiler NYC’s “Damaged Goods”: https://youtu.be/7G1hxEeyeKc 

    “It was truly a sight to behold Alan’s transformation into Travis and his uncanny resemblance to Robert DeNiro in the movie,” explained director Derek Soto. “It was an honor to be chosen to help bring Spoiler NYC’s vision and concept to life on camera, paying homage to a film that is one of my all-time favorites. I say with proud confidence that working on this music video has pushed my potential for future projects to come.” 

    Grammy Award-winner Ken Lewis, of Wu-Tang Clan, Beastie Boys, and Eminem fame, produced and mixed “Damaged Goods”, which appears on Spoiler NYC’s latest release titled “Banned in 38 States“. The album is a remastered 15th-anniversary edition of the group’s 2007 debut “Grease Fire in Hell’s Kitchen“, along with two new tracks. All songs have been completely remastered by Life of Agony’s Joey Zampella at The Nest Studio in Long Island, NY. 

    Spoiler NYC is: 

    Alan Robert: Lead Vocals/Bass

    Chris “Junkyard” Silletti: Guitar

    Second Annual Fundraiser to Take Place Oct. 1 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas

    Press Release

    Aug 19, 2022


    LAS VEGAS, August 19, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation today announced details for The Event, its second annual fundraising gala presented by Pepsi Stronger Together scheduled for Oct. 1, 2022, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The evening will feature an all-star lineup from the worlds of music and comedy, including performances from multiple GRAMMY award-winning artists Maroon 5; CMA’s 2020 Female Artist of the Year Maren Morris; and Emmy award-winning comedian John Mulaney — with more performers to be announced in the coming weeks. 

    Established by four-time NBA champion Shaquille O’Neal, The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation’s mission is to create pathways for underserved youth to help them achieve their full potential. In doing so, it has partnered with two organizations close to Shaquille’s heart — Boys & Girls Clubs and Communities in Schools. The Event serves as the primary fundraiser for The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation.

    Concert tickets ranging from $50 to $250 are available to the public and go on sale at 10 a.m. PT on Friday, Aug. 19, via AXS.com. The evening will also include a private cocktail reception, dinner, and live auction followed by the public performance. Table sponsorships for the private event range from $10,000 to $75,000. Additional details about The Event and ticket/table options can be found at shaqfoundation.org.

    “Last year’s Event was a lifetime highlight for me, which is saying something,” O’Neal professed. “We set the bar high but we’re looking forward to an even bigger night this year: more guests, more acts, more passion for positive change. Not only do we have some of the best names in music again, but we’re also adding comedy. I’m especially proud of how accessible The Event is, with concert tickets starting at just $50. The evening is about people — from everyday fans to sports and entertainment stars to corporate CEOs — coming together to make a difference in kids’ lives.”

    The Foundation focuses on serving children in Las Vegas and Atlanta. Last year, it announced the opening of the Shaquille O’Neal Boys & Girls Club of Henry County, located just outside of Atlanta. The 2021 gala raised more than $2.9 million, providing essential support for the Club, Shaquille’s annual Shaq-a-Claus holiday program and more. Proceeds from this year’s event will support similar efforts, including a new project (yet to be announced) in Las Vegas with Boys & Girls Clubs and Communities in Schools.

    “We are proud to partner, once again, with The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation to support our communities in need,” said Derek Lewis, President, PepsiCo Multicultural. “The partnership between Pepsi Stronger Together and The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation is rooted in bringing smiles where they are needed most and we look forward to continue to expand our initiatives together.”

    The Onsite Foundation & Musicares® Announce a Strategic Partnership to Ensure Music Industry Professionals Receive Best-in-Class Emotional Health Education and Resources

    [ad_1]

    “Unplugged” will help music industry professionals process stress and reconnect with their authentic selves.


    NASHVILLE, Tenn., August 17, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
     The Onsite Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity and leader in emotional health education and resources, announced in 2021 a partnership with MusiCares® to create and host a retreat for music industry professionals titled “Unplugged: a healing retreat at Onsite for the music industry”. This three-day healing retreat at Onsite is an invitation to step away from all the noise and distractions and into a space where participants can freely explore who they are, what got them here, and who they truly want to be as a creative moving forward. The tools will help attendees connect with themselves and work toward building an authentic life.

    The “Unplugged” retreat will take place Oct. 6-9, 2022 at Onsite in Cumberland Furnace in Middle Tennessee and will be available to musicians, singer/songwriters, engineers, stagehands, managers, tour bus drivers, A&R, agents, make-up artists, venue managers, live crews, and anyone else who is currently working or has worked in the music industry.

    Last year, 26% of MusiCares Wellness in Music Survey respondents said they regularly experience moderate to severe levels of depression. To put that in perspective, a 2019 National Health Interview Survey of U.S. adults founds that only 4.7 percent reported regularly feeling depressed.
    The 2021 Wellness in Music Survey saw a decline in respondents experiencing moderate to severe levels of depression, with 20% reporting feeling this way. However, 56% of this year’s respondents reported feeling moderately high to very high levels of anxiety – and though that is down almost 10% from last year’s numbers, it indicates the mental health of the music community is still strained.

    “We live in a world built to connect us, but it can feel like it’s designed to divide us, distract us, and keep us disconnected. When we feel disconnected from the world, we are likely disconnected from the world within ourselves,” said Miles Adcox, Chairman and Proprietor of Onsite Workshops. “We hope attending Unplugged allows creatives to disconnect from all the noise and distractions of life so they can reconnect to themselves.” 

    “We are so thankful that MusiCares has partnered with us to help music industry professionals who are struggling from the effects of stress and trauma. Our hope is that “Unplugged” attendees leave the retreat feeling emotionally unstuck and empowered with new insights to better connect with their authentic self and the people in their life,” says Deanna Wantz, Executive Director of The Onsite Foundation.

    “At MusiCares, we understand how important mental health and well-being are to the success of the music community,” says Laura Segura, Executive Director of MusiCares. “We are excited to once again partner with The Onsite Foundation to give music professionals the resources needed for healing and reconnecting to their purpose so they can continue to do what they love.”

    MusiCares provides a safety net of critical health and welfare services to the music community in three key areas including:
    ● Mental Health & Addiction Recovery Services: Support, referrals, and emergency financial assistance for counseling, psychiatric care, inpatient treatment, coaching, intensive outpatient care, sober living, and more.
    ● Health Services: Financial assistance during medical crises and preventive services such as dental and medical screenings, hearing clinics, vocal health workshops, and assistance obtaining low-cost health insurance.
    ● Human Services: Support for basic living expenses like rent, utilities, car payments, and insurance premiums in times of hardship, plus programs addressing affordable housing, career development, legal issues, and senior services.

    Applications for “Unplugged” are now open. For more information on how to apply, please visit www.theonsitefoundation.org.

    SAN FRANCISCO, July 30, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Wai Lana’s newly released music video River of Forgiveness pays tribute to International Day of Friendship on July 30th—a day that promotes and encourages worldwide peace, happiness, and unity. 

    Yoga wisdom touches all aspects of our lives. After watching River of Forgiveness, it will become clear how the message of forgiveness perfectly connects with a day centered around reconciliation and finding comfort in our close friendships. Forgiveness is an integral part of friendship and our being able to live happy, peaceful, and healthy lives. 

    Wai Lana says, “Whether you’re mad at a family member or close friend, a neighbor, co-worker, or complete stranger, holding on to some resentment or anger towards others will cause you stress and unhappiness. Why carry the burden of anger for days on end for something you can’t change?” 

    Everyone will be able to relate to many of the scenarios Wai Lana sings about in River of Forgiveness. While it calls attention to the unhappiness caused by holding on to anger, the song maintains a playful, uplifting tone—transporting viewers to a place of peace, joy, and lightheartedness. Simultaneously entertaining and meditative, River of Forgiveness can be watched again and again. 

    Wai Lana concluded, “My hope is that viewers will find both inspiration and some relief from the heavy burden of anger, and that it will bring friends and loved ones even closer together. Not everything in life is in our control, but each of us has the power to forgive. If we wish to hold onto anger, that is our freedom, but we cannot expect the fruits of peace and happiness to flourish among the weeds of anger and resentment”

    About Wai Lana

    Wai Lana is a world-renowned yoga instructor who is credited with pioneering the modern-day yoga movement through her award-winning TV series, “Wai Lana Yoga,” which has aired in the US and internationally for three decades. For Wai Lana, yoga is not just a workout, it is a complete lifestyle that offers countless physical, mental, and spiritual benefits.

    It’s hard to compare Wai Lana with any other artist. Her music videos are rich with spiritual depth, inspiration, and wisdom. Fusing captivating music, lyrics, and cinematography, Wai Lana’s unique style belongs to a genre all its own—which has been described as ‘music of the heart’.

    Fans have become accustomed to Wai Lana releasing a new music video each year that expresses some of the deeper aspects of yoga, inviting her viewers into a world of peace, compassion, and respect for all. Her past videos include “Namaste, Colors, Beyond Time & Space, Lay Me Down, and She Speaks Sign Language.

    –
    Reigning out of the city that never sleeps, New York City is the lyrically inclined and talented Victoria Dennis. Singing and dancing her way into hearts, dance floors, and stages with songs like “Miles Away”  “Rooms” and “Out of Your Mind ” she released her new single titled “Booty Pop”. The nineteen-year-old singer, songwriter, drummer, and dancer has always had her eyes and heart set on one thing,  performing and connecting with people on social media platforms liik Tik Tok. When writing “Booty Pop”, Victoria stated she wanted to “push the envelope and create something FUN.”. When this record comes on it gives you this feeling that makes you just want to dance wherever you’re standing. Whether you are at the grocery store, subway station, at work, or driving. 

    Victoria aims to not only entertain her fans but also is big on girl power, confidence, and sexiness while still remaining poise, which are values Victoria gets from her modeling career she started at age 5. When writing this song with her co-writer Shatic Mitchell, the beat gave Victoria this old-school vibe which helped curate these melodies and chorus breakdowns that embodies a classic “Brittney Spears” like aura. Victoria states, “We talk about women, and how sexy it is for a female to be dominant! Women are beautiful, and using our charm and power can lead to desirable things.”.

    Victoria, an advocate for anti-bullying, has always gone by the motto “Take your negative and make it positive” using her music as an escape where she can express herself and her feelings with unlimited creativity. Her writing style oozes vulnerability and gives her listeners something to relate to in all of her songs throughout many phases of their lives; this is what made “Booty Pop” special for the young star. Dennis wants to leave a legacy behind that will always encourage her fans to walk in their destiny and always have fun.
    “Hours and hours of work went into this record across the board with everyone who had hands on it, and I feel so relieved that it’s finally out because it was something out of my comfort zone, but I tried it and believe I might’ve just created one of my favorite songs to date!” Victoria says. Be sure to check out “Booty Pop” on all streaming platforms, and catch this fun, energetic music video. To stay updated on Victoria, you can follow her on Instagram @VictoriaDennisMusic

    NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 26, 2022 (Newswire.com)
    –
    Nick Caster prefers to work behind the scenes, but it’s finally time for him to step into the spotlight. A natural businessman with his hand in entertainment and corporate markets alike, Caster’s latest work in progress comes in the form of breaking a major barrier in Nashville music – the second-ever House Music Awards will be held at the legendary Grand Ole Opry in April 2023. Ticketing will begin in Early 2023.

    Nick Caster is serving as the development director of the new award show created by house music artist, DJ, and producer Jesse Saunders (originator of house music). The house music genre continues to grow in the American market, but bringing the genre and its leaders to Nashville is a serious step into the Music City market. Caster is a seamless addition to the team, bringing the vision of the award show to life while consulting with corporations and artists alike. 

    “Nick has done a wonderful job as Director of Marketing, and as a result, we have seen tremendous growth and exposure for our brand. He has been a pleasure to work with over the last few years.” – CEO Chris Van Doeselaar, Newco Design Build / Blox 

    With a background in writing and producing pop, EDM, country, and rock music for other artists, Caster has his finger on the pulse of what listeners desire. He bridges the gap between artistic pursuits and corporate consulting with NC1 Agency (Nashville, Tennessee). His prior experience includes collaborations with Tesla, Google, Universal, Live Nation, and more. The proof of Caster’s expertise lies in his successes – notably by bringing “25 times the amount of business in 18 months” to a design build architecture firm, Caster says. He additionally has consulted with S.A.F.E. Structure Designs, which creates support equipment for military defense and industrial industries.  

    “I have always appreciated Nick for his honesty and integrity. He is motivating, energetic, which when combined with his skill set makes him an extremely valuable asset.” – CEO Johnny Buscema, S.A.F.E Structure Designs

    The business-minded consultant brings expertise and connections to the entertainment industry, which makes Caster a sought-after producer, artist development professional, and songwriter. The upcoming House Music Awards is another opportunity for Caster to celebrate his creative pursuits professionally along with his corporate success.

    “Our team is excited to bring the House Music Awards to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Jesse Saunders and I came up with a new genre category of ‘country house’ to open more doors for country artists to work with DJs and remixers,” Caster states about the upcoming event.
