Dwightfest Day One Santa Rosa Beach

Kyrsta McKade "What Mama Don't Know" - Texan Kyrsta McKade has made the move to Nashville and it's working out well for her as she releases her debut single/video on Go Long Entertainment.

Celebrated Texas-based country singer shines as an interpreter with buoyant new take on future holiday classic cut with Santa in Cabo

Her journey from gospel to country music, highlighting her growth in maturity and communication, how she manifested a recording contract with Nashville’s venerated Curb Records and attributing the detour to divine intervention.

Produced by Josh Bright, “Beach Chair” finds Uncle Kracker at his most chill, mellow, and laid-back. The lyrics transport listeners to a carefree day by the sand and waves, with lines like “Somewhere there’s a beach chair in the warm air / And a cold beer with my name on it.” The song was written by Uncle Kracker (Matthew Shafer), Joe Benke, and Greg Schleicher.

“UNBRIDLED” RICK MONROE and the HITMEN

ABOUT RICK MONROE & THE HITMEN: World-class entertainers Rick Monroe & The Hitmen have no desire to trace the trail of every trend. Instead, they serve up a “poly-jam-orous” recipe they call “Blue Jean Rock”--artistically organic, and spiced with heavy blend of their musical influences to reflect country sensibilities with a rock and roll beat. For fans, it fits like a favorite pair of jeans that never goes out of style—it’s both comfortable and classic. As a result, the group has shared the stage with a diverse array of artists, from Queensrӱche and Lynyrd Skynyrd to Dwight Yoakam and Eric Church (just to name a few). Monroe has performed in every U.S. state and 17 countries, including performances for the USO, AFE, played in Vietnam for VOA (Voice of America), and former Soviet President, Mikhail Gorbachev. Rick Monroe & The Hitmen have built a solid legion of fans across the globe and recently surpassed 4.5 MILLION logged views on YouTube and over 1.6 MILLION captured streams without the benefit of ever appearing on a core editorial playlist. MORE ABOUT RICK: Rick grew up in a variety of places–California, Connecticut, Kansas, North Carolina, even England, and his love of music and outgoing personality naturally drew him to the stage. Now based in Nashville, Monroe believes GYPSY SOUL shows the kind of diversity he can offer as an artist. He says, “I’m not so linear in my approach to music; I’m more diversified. My influences range from A to Z and I always try to put that into my music. But my home base will always be Country because it’s not just about the hype of an idea; it’s based on songs.” Fans can expect to hear a wide range of material–but Rick promises that it will all be quality. If his chart success is any indication, it’s clear Monroe knows what folks want to hear–and he’s eager to give them exactly that.
