(January 8, 2018) -- Crowned by many as the one to watch in 2018, CMT Next Women of Country artist Kalie Shorr is set to release Awakeon January 26.

“Sometimes, this industry makes you second guess yourself,” Shorr explains. “It might not even mean to -- there are just so many opinions and it's easy to try to please everyone. This project is the first time I've tuned everything else out but my own gut feeling on who I am and what makes me unique. This past summer, I bought a new electric guitar, met an amazing producer, and fell back in love with the records that made me want to write songs in the first place. Before I knew it, the Awake EP was born. I couldn't be more excited for it's release, this record feels like the most authentic introduction to me I could give anyone.” Shorr will host an Awake EP launch party on Thursday, January 25 at The Back Corner. The event will be open to both the media and the public. To view the invitation, click here.

His raw lyrics and authentic sound continue to keep his loyal fan base satisfied while adding to it with each performance.
“Since beginning a solo country career, Lewis has only grown more confident in his honky-tonk spirit with last year's excellent Sinner LP easily being one of the year’s best country albums.” - Dallas Morning News. Making its debut at No. 1 on the Top 200 Albums, Top Country Albums and Top Digital Albums Charts, Lewis released SINNER, his third solo country project, in September 2016. In the stunning Dot Records follow up to his full-length solo debut, THE ROAD, Lewis redefines outlaw country. The critically-acclaimed project was recorded in a stunning 16 hours at Nashville’s Blackbird Studio with legendary producer Buddy Cannon (Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Alison Krauss, Jamey Johnson). Single-handedly writing 8 out of the 12 tracks, the outspoken singer/songwriter once again delivers.” “Aaron Lewis shows a surprising understanding and respect for country music with his latest album, Sinner. Drawing from his childhood influences of listening to country music in his grandfather's car, Sinner shows Aaron's abilities as a singer, songwriter, musician and stylist. With guest appearances from Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Willie Nelson and Dan Tyminski, SINNER might just be the record that propels Aaron to a permanent place in country music.” - The Boot “Aaron Lewis brings a raw honesty to his songs on the new album Sinner that Country Music radio hasn’t heard in a long time. The imagery of the lyrics sucks you in, but his mournful voice and guitar keep you!”- Maverick Magazine The Ones That Like Me 2018 is set to kick off February 1 in Worcester, MA at DUC Center.
