Jimmy Bowen has been creating music for more than three decades and, thankfully, has even bigger plans for the future. His new single, “Blood Red Moon,” was co-written written by Sonny LeMaire, Liz Hengber and Tommy Lee James. The new music is available for streaming and download on all online digital platforms here. “My co-writers, Liz Hengber, Tommy Lee James and I were discussing what to write and someone mentioned that in the next few days the Nashville night sky would be filled with a blood red moon! Boom! There was our title and we and we had a blast writing a, sort of, southern gothic tale of cheating and revenge,” stated songwriter and producer, Sonny LeMaire! “"Blood Red Moon" is a great song. I chose the song because of the story line. It is a song about love gone bad and revenge,” said Jimmy Bowen. “The lyrics leave the mind to some imagination of the why's and where's. "Blood Red Moon" is totally different than any song ever recorded and I love the challenge of singing the song with conviction and confidence.” “It takes teamwork to create a masterpiece and everyone did their part to make "Blood Red Moon" something special! The band tracks on "Blood Red Moon" were recorded at Ocean Way Studio in Nashville on a custom “hot-rodded" Neve VRP 96 input console with engineer Ryan Yount at the helm. The DAWg Houze, Nashville North served as overdubbing headquarters, adding Glen Duncan’s fiddle tracks, Steve Hinson’s dobro and lap steel parts, Sonny LeMaire backing vocals, Jimmy’s lead vocal tracks and final mixdown using a hybrid tracking/mixing technique on a Soundcraft Vi3000 digital mixing console and Pro Tools via Dante in/out of Vi3k,” shares Co-Producer/Engineering,Tony Cottrill. “The microphone selection both at OCW and The DAWg Houze consisted of a combination of Heil and AKG dynamics and condensers. The talent of the Nashville sessions players on this cut, besides Glen and Steve included Michael Spriggs on acoustic guitars, Jimmy Nichols playing Wurlitzer and Hammond B3 organ, Erik Halbig adding electric guitars, Steve Brewster playing drums and Sonny LeMaire on bass guitar. The final Mastering touches were completed by Benny Quinn.” The song is structured to so the performance can be done in any manner and there are many options to get the story line and the point across to the audience. This project left a wide open imagination for the cover artwork. Using lines from the song and creating the image at a motel to reflect the gothic feel and as the evening got darker the listener feels as though they were somehow immersed in the song itself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CMT.com Features “Love Is Stronger,” Official Video in Support of Current Single by Country Music Artist and Songwriter, Matt Kennon NASHVILLE, TENN. - (September 11, 2019) – CMT.com featured Matt Kennon’s emotional video about keeping hope alive in the powerful music video for his song "Love Is Stronger."

(September 12, 2019) – Accomplished independent country artist Tim Rushlow, has signed exclusively with The Kinkead Entertainment Agency for worldwide booking representation.

I have seen the fire, passion and drive in his eyes that will take his career to a whole new level, and I am excited to be part of his career and opportunities that we will create together.” “After not touring for over twelve years in the country space, I am honored to make a return to the country music scene for representation with Bob and his staff at Kincaid Entertainment Agency, who share my passion to do this,” stated Tim Rushlow. “I am humbled by new and old listeners alike that have continually asked for me to tour again. I look forward to bringing my songs from the 90's soundtrack back to life again along with my first new music in a decade as well.” With the recent strong resurgence in ‘90s Country and increased demand from his fans, Tim is once again focusing his energy into the music that first brought him to a global audience. He has recently written and recorded a collection of all new songs which will be a launch pad for the next phase of his career and he is very excited to be performing his unique brand of Country music – including his arsenal of hits from the soundtrack of the ‘90s and never-before-heard new music – for fans everywhere. Background History About Tim Rushlow........ Tim Rushlow has already achieved so much more than most aspiring musician’s dream of accomplishing. Born in Oklahoma and raised in Arlington, Texas, Rushlow catapulted to fame as lead singer for Little Texas, one of the biggest Country groups of the 90’s. Between 1991 and 1998, the group charted 20 singles on Billboard’s Country chart, including the Number 1 hit “God Blessed Texas,” the poignant power ballad and crossover smash, “What Might Have Been,” “Amy’s Back In Austin” and many others. When the group originally disbanded, Rushlow embarked on a successful solo career shifting from Warner Bros. Records, with Jim Ed Norman, to Atlantic Records. Tim scored chart-topping hits including his emotionally moving song “She Misses Him”, which became a Top 5 record hit and gaining Tim the opportunity to be a national spokesman for the Alzheimer’s Association for two years. Tim went on to have two more record deals with Lyric Street Records and Universal Records before taking a break from recording to focus on his ability as an entertainer on tour in his critically acclaimed unplugged solo show, “One Man, One Guitar, One Night”, which has taken him from theatre and cabaret stages to traveling around the world many times over performing for our men and women in the military. Tim has an immense amount of drive and passion. When he hears the word “No,” he simply believes it means, “Not yet.” So in 2014, without reservation, Tim dove in headfirst to embark on his lifelong dream to record a Big Band Christmas record. The album, Tim Rushlow Classic Christmas, was recorded in Nashville using an all-star band and the top players from the Nashville Symphony. It was received with rave reviews, shooting the Rushlow penned radio single “What Do I Do With The Blue” to #16 on the Billboard singles chart and the album #16 on the Billboard Holiday Album chart where he settled in right behind Frank Sinatra, making another lifelong dream come true with his name being next to such an adored American icon. Never being one to sit still, Tim felt the need to show his admiration and authenticity for this music and began planning his next gutsy and risky move. Tim decided to record a full Big Band live concert record and TV special in front of his peers in Nashville. After seeing the magical footage, it was decided to take it to American Public Television. APT was blown away at Tim’s ability to be so genuine and sing to their current demographic, yet be youthful enough to sing to a new and younger generation. Tim Rushlow & His Big Band LIVE showcases Tim’s dynamic “Rat Pack” swagger with classics from the Great American Songbook. It was a national pledge drive for PBS from 2016-2018 and released as a live DVD and CD/DVD combo. Tim’s Big Band shows have won critical acclaim and have been well-received by audiences across the country. With the recent strong resurgence of ‘90s Country and increased demand from his fans, Tim is once again focusing his energy into the music that first brought him to a global audience. He has recently written and recorded a collection of all new songs which will be a launch pad for the next phase of his career and he is very excited to be performing his unique brand of Country music – including his arsenal of hits from the soundtrack of the ‘90s and never-before-heard new music – for fans everywhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guests Coming Soon: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brooks Forsyth Franke Previte Burleigh Drummond (drummer for Ambrosia) Darrell Curly Jones Jimy Bleu of Kiss The Sky --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Mission Statement... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Talking Hendrix is a journey through Jimi Hendrix's music catalog common and rare pieces of his musical diversity, along with interviews with artists who've played, worked or were inspired by Jimi's expertise styling of guitar playing.
