Katie Tuck – a Young Country Singer

Katie Tuck's rich and powerful voice captivates listeners and can only be described as a gift from God. At only 14 years old, Ms. Tuck has already recorded in the notorious “Sound Kitchen” of Nashville, Tennessee. Tuck's powerful ballad "I Just Wanna Be a Girl" is garnering much attention and young Tuck is already finding herself being circled by some of the industry’s most prestigious producers, songwriters, and managers. Catch her on her Website A Virginia native, Katie grew up listening to a mixture of country, pop, and rock music. Her idol is country superstar, Carrie Underwood. “She is so amazing and a great role model,” says Tuck.

The Amazing Artist: Meet Jubal Lee Young, Artist, Musician

You wouldn't need to know anything about Jubal Lee Young background to hear that THIS IS A CAT WHO HAS THE PROVERBIAL “IT.” But Heritage Jubal Lee Young he has indeed! On his third album “The Last Free Place in America”, the only son of outlaw country-rock/Americana royals Steve Young (“Seven Bridges Road,” “Lonesome On’ry and Mean”) and Terrye Newkirk (“My Oklahoma”, “Come Home, Daddy”) comes ever more into his own Fair. Jubal Lee Young smoky molasses rasp of a baritone sounds both familiar and new at the same time on this collection of eleven originals and one cover (Richard Dobson’s “Piece of Wood and Steel.”). Along the way, Young conjures the spirits of everyone from John Lee Hooker on drone blues like “Boom, Boom, Boom” and “Dead Miners” to the classic rock of Bob Seger (“Piece of Wood and Steel”) to the sort of snakey-fiddle, cracked shot-glass outlaw country-rock Hank Jr. made back when he was still cool. (“Justice or Death.”) Young has survived some dark times – when not working in radio (for Nashville’s once-uber-cool WKDF), he spent his 20s drinking, drugging, and wrestling with his legacy by rocking way harder than was entirely necessary, and you can hear that era distilled to its purest essence in the midnight malevolence of “Animal Farm.” And on the jaunty, hilarious “I Refuse,” you can hear him exult in his relatively newfound comfort in Jubal Lee Young skin. Meet Jubal Lee Young: Unveiling the Inspired Title Track Nowhere is Jubal Lee Young’s soaring voice or sharp songwriting skills displayed in bolder relief than on the title track, which was inspired by a passage in the Woody Guthrie biography _Ramblin’ Man_. Late in his life, the disease-wracked and bottle-wrecked Guthrie had been institutionalized in a Brooklyn nuthouse, where at last he found relief from J. Edgar Hoover’s black-suited Red Scare inquisitors. They decided he was probably harmless if he was in the nuthouse, so they kinda wrote him off,” says Young. “A couple of his Communist friends came by and were expressing concern for his well-being, and Woody said, ‘Y’all don’t worry about me. I’m okay. In here, I can stand up and say “I’m a Communist,” and they just look at me and say “Aw, he’s crazy.” This is the last free place in America.’ That whole book was a good read but that one story just jumped out at me – I thought ‘_that’s_ a song.’ “It’s kinda still true,” Young continues. “We claim this [...]

Mike Schikora

Front Range Records recording artist Mike Schikora is back with a new single, “What’s Old Is New Again.” This is the perfect summer wedding song to follow-up his debut single, “Dance Angelina,” which captured his gritty classic country style. Anticipation for the new single has music reviewers already showing their support. The Follow-up Single for Colorado Cowboy Mike Schikora - the perfect wedding song for 2009 “As soon as I heard Mike’s CD…we had to add it to our playlist…Our listeners and everyone here at TMTR loves his music!” - Gary Barton / TMTR Internet Radio “Mike is one of those gifted artists that hits a high mark with his authentic Texas country music. Close your eyes and you’re around the campfire on a starry night.” - Ed Spacek / TX radio promoter “…this country music up-and-comer is driven to find success on his own terms.” - Joanna Nasar / Contributing Writer to American Cowboy “I’m blown away by Mike Schikora, what a good singer, and a fine songwriter.” - Ken Murray / Program Director / KTEX Brenham , TX . “What’s Old Is New Again,” highlights a love that grows stronger with time while examining a couple’s promise, commitment, encouragement and devotion. This song is the title track from Schikora’s critically-acclaimed debut CD currently available on CD Baby, iTunes and Rhapsody. “I wrote this song as a gift for my friend’s wedding. I let this cook for months since I could not think of what I wanted to write. Then, I literally wrote the song two days before the wedding,” says Schikora. Schikora is the real deal – a dying breed of ranchers/cowboys and a rustic Rocky Mountain horseman. A day well spent includes working in the pasture, training new born foals, riding, and mending fences. Mike has rode his horse twice over the Continental Divide, started a Half Arabian Sport horse breeding business and continues to write songs for his publishing company, Tuck And Go Music. He has been featured in several media outlets including American Cowboy, The Nashville Musician, OutFront Colorado , Kootenai Valley Record, New Music Weekly, Lexington Broadcasting, among others. He is currently in the studio working on his sophomore release, which will be available this fall.
