Here’s To Anyone - Available September 17

Buena Vista Records / Industrial Media’s 19 Recordings artist Laine Hardy, is gearing up for a special 21st birthday with a September 12th live stream concert benefiting Volunteer Louisiana and The Louisiana Museum Foundation. The event will take place at the home of the New Orleans Jazz Museum in the historic Old U.S. Mint in the French Quarter and kicks off at 7:00 p.m. CT. Following the devastating damage that Hurricane Ida brought to the Louisiana native’s home state last month, Laine felt a strong calling to give back to his community. For more information on how to help and to tune in on September 12th visit: HERE.

“Hurricane Ida hit hard in my home state. So many people have been impacted and we wanted to find a way to help,” says Laine. “I can’t think of a better way to spend my birthday than playing a show for everyone.”

“Laine Hardy is a true Louisiana Ambassador. He could have celebrated the release of his first album anywhere, but chose to celebrate at the New Orleans Jazz Museum because of his love of this state, the people and our unique culture,” says Louisiana Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser. “His desire to help his fellow Louisianans and bring awareness to the recovery efforts following Hurricane Ida truly shows the outstanding character of this young man, and further exemplifies why we are fortunate to have him represent our state.”

Visit HERE on September 12th starting at 7:00 p.m. CT to watch Laine perform songs from the American Idol winner’s long-awaited 11-song debut album, Here’s To Anyone, available everywhere on September 17.

HALFWAY TO HAZARD RAISES OVER 450K FOR HURRICANE RELIEF EFFORTS

 Recent Telethon Banked $450,714.96 to Benefit Those Affected by Recent Storms

Halfway to Hazard Performs Live During Hurricane Relief Telethon

Following the devastating aftermath of the recent hurricanes, country music duo Halfway to Hazard wanted to help aid those affected by the deadly storms.  Early this month, David Tolliver and Chad Warrix teamed with Kentucky CBS affiliate television station WYMT-TV to host a live telethon benefiting storm victims. Their collective efforts raised $450,714.96, all of which goes directly to those struggling as result of the storms.

"It amazes me that every time Kentucky, especially East Kentucky, is asked to help, they do," says Tolliver. "The people here are always ready to do whatever they can to help no matter where it is. I can't believe we raised almost half a million dollars for the relief effort and the total continues to rise. It just speaks volumes to the character of our home state, if there is a challenge or a need, we are there to help."

Warrix adds, "Kentuckians have a long history of coming to the aid of our fellow Americans. The relief telethon was a heartwarming example of that. It makes me proud to show up to an event organized by Kentuckians, showcasing Kentuckians knowing that we are gonna make a difference that day with the funds and awareness raised. God Bless America."

Halfway to Hazard and WYMT-TV urge the public to continue to donate to the cause. Donations can be submitted through the American Red Cross HERE.

LUKE COMBS STORMS INTO 2017 AS ONE OF COUNTRY’S HOTTEST NEWCOMERS

Named an “Artist To Watch” by Amazon Music, Billboard, Bobby Bones, CMT, Huffington Post, Nashville Lifestyles, Pandora & Rolling Stone

Debut single “Hurricane” amasses 29 million streams, charges into Top 40 at country radio

River House Artists/Columbia Nashville’s rising singer/songwriter Luke Combs, who Billboard predicts will “bring bearded everyman charm back to country”, kicks off the New Year as one of country music’s brightest new artists.

The 26 year-old Asheville, NC native’s debut single “Hurricane” leads his forthcoming debut album, This One’s For You, heralded by Rolling Stone as one of “the most anticipated albums in 2017.” The anthem that showcases Combs’ signature “modern-throwback sound and grizzled vocals” (Rolling Stone) crossed into Top 40 on both Billboard and Mediabase airplay charts,  reaching an impressive 29 million streams and claiming more than 146,000 digital downloads.

Since entering 2017, Combs has claimed top spots on numerous “Ones To Watch” lists. iHeart Radio’s Bobby Bones, recently coined “the most powerful man in country music” by Forbes, selected Combs as the first member of his Class of 2017 -- dubbing him as a highly anticipated artist to breakthrough this year. Combs also received the coveted “Artist To Watch” nod from Billboard in the publication’s yearly preview issue joining an exclusive list of four new rising stars and proudly representing country as the sole Nashville artist. In addition, Amazon Music, CMT, Huffington Post, Nashville Lifestyles, Pandora & Rolling Stone awarded Luke their “One To Watch” title for the year.

“In a genre stocked with suave young men who look a lot like pop stars, Combs is quickly carving out a niche for himself as a millennial everyman.” – Billboard

“Building a rapport with the audience is a hallmark of Combs’ live performances—but his real gift is literary, shoehorning, and precise turns of phrase in typical songs about beer and “old trucks.”” – Nashville Lifestyles

“An intuitive everyman from Asheville, NC, with a knack for deceptively smart lyrics and a slightly grizzled style of modern country.” – Rolling Stone Country

A true road warrior, Combs performed his 120th show in twelve months to a sold-out, loud & rowdy crowd for his first New York City play at the historic Mercury Lounge on Tuesday evening, Jan. 17. He will wrap this weekend with a sold-out run to Oxford, OH, Washington DC, Knoxville, Tenn. and Birmingham, Ala. Combs joins Brantley Gilbert this spring for the cross-country Devil Don’t Sleep Tour.
