LOCASH LAUNCHES GALAXY LABEL GROUP

NEW LABEL TO FEATURE LOCASH AS FIRST ACT SIGNED

NEWS REVEALED AT 2024 COUNTRY RADIO SEMINAR, 
OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED BY BILLBOARD

BRAND-NEW SONG “HOMETOWN HOME” COMING SOON
         

L-R: PETER STRICKLAND, GENERAL MANAGER, BMG; KATIE KERKHOVER, VICE PRESIDENT, A&R, BMG; SKIP BISHOP, STUDIO2BEE ENTERTAINMENT; PRESTON BRUST, LOCASH;
CHRIS LUCAS, LOCASH; JON LOBA, PRESIDENT, FRONTLINE RECORDINGS, NORTH AMERICA, BMG; 
QUINN BAUDUCCO, SENIOR MANAGER, BUSINESS & LEGAL AFFAIRS, BMG; JOJAMIE HAHR, EVP, RECORDED MUSIC, BMG NASHVILLE

Hitmaking duo LOCASH is adding a whole new dimension to their independently minded Country universe, announcing the formation of Galaxy Label Group.

Distributed by BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville and featuring LOCASH as the first act signed, the new Galaxy Label Group was revealed last night at the 2024 Country Radio Seminar in Nashville, and officially announced via Billboard (2/28). Read the story here.

Named for the infinite possibilities the pair envision, Galaxy Label Group will allow LOCASH’s Preston Brust and Chris Lucas to begin a bold new creative chapter, while also extending the spirit of Country brotherhood at the core of PLATINUM smash “I Love This Life” and GOLD, #1 hits “One Big Country Song” and “I Know Somebody” to a new constellation of artists.

"Launching our own record label has been a part of our plan since day one,” explains Brust. “And with the ever-changing landscape of modern music, now is the perfect time. As seasoned artists, it's really important for us to do what we know how to do and do it well. Confidently moving forward with creative control is the natural next step for us."

Lucas adds, “I haven’t been this excited since moving to Nashville years ago! With the relationships we’ve built in the industry along the way, it’s time we add a new chapter to the LOCASH book. We are in control of ourselves as artists and are ready to help aspiring artists as well as the songwriters succeed in today’s music world.”

Built as a natural extension of the LOCASH artistic vision, Galaxy Label Group will help guide the duo into a new musical era while allowing Brust and Lucas to pay it forward as mentors, creating the space for other unique artists and sharing the ideals of Country togetherness and unbound creativity.

Launching in partnership with music industry veterans Skip Bishop and Butch Waugh’s Studio2Bee Entertainment, Galaxy Label Group has key executive staff in place with more artists to be added to the roster.

“We're extremely grateful to Jon Loba and his executive team for helping us create such a modern, forward-thinking and artist/writer-friendly distribution arrangement,” says Bishop of Studio2Bee Entertainment. “It's this kind of imaginative insight that will elevate the level of shared success."

In celebration of the new label, LOCASH has been in studio working on their next project, with their first single “Hometown Home” expected for release this spring.

LOCASH TAKES IT TO THE "WOODS & WATER" IN EP – OUT NOW!

TEAMS UP WITH MTN DEW TO REWARD FANS WHO EXPLORE THE GREAT OUTDOORS WITH “WOODS OR WATER” GETAWAY


Chart-topping BBR Music Group/BMG’s Wheelhouse Records’ rowdy outliers LOCASH are escaping to the WOODS & WATER on their brand-new EP available today (11/5) on all streaming platforms and digital retailers.

“Whenever we're about to release new music, we still get super excited, a little nervous, and extremely thankful that we have fans out there who want to be a part of this journey,” shares LOCASH. “Some of you have been ridin’ with us from the beginning and this one is for you, along with all of the new LOCASH lifers who have just jumped on the bus with us! We always want our music to bring a smile to your face, so hopefully you’ll find that feel-good feeling while you kick back, listen, and sing along to our Woods & Water EP.”

Offering an unapologetic voice for the people raised in the middle of nowhere, their Southern-Rock-infused tropes of rural life bring a much-needed fun-and-brash attitude to Country music. Inspired by not only where they go now to recharge as adults, but from each of their childhood locales – Preston Brust, a PK (preacher’s kid), was raised in Kokomo, IN, by way of Arkansas and surrounded by nature, while Chris Lucas grew up in Baltimore, MD, on the water – Woods & Water represents both.

Dropping five feel-good tracks with each penned by at least one member of the duo, the wild-and-free collection bobs on LOCASH’s high-energy twang along with lyrics that capture their signature big picture optimism and penchant for living large in a small town. Produced by Corey Crowder (Florida Georgia Line, Chris Young) with additional production by Clint Lagerberg, the getaway set bursts with party-ready anthems, laid-back grooves, and made-in-the-shade contentment, as it sonically rolls from earthy Roots-Rock, to sunny, beachside Country jams – and even reimagines one of American music’s most-iconic songs with LOCASH’s harmony edge on “Beach Boys.”

Touting bucket list writers for Woods & Water like The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson and Mike Love on the easy-breezy tune, watch the project’s salt-kissed visualizer for “Beach Boys.” Sampling the band’s classic “I Get Around” hook for a chill-Country concoction of oceanfront optimism and backwoods style, the go-with-the-flow footage was directed by Josh Warner, with sandy shots from the Florida beaches.


Continuing to live out its adventurous message, LOCASH has teamed up with MTN DEW to reward fans who explore the great outdoors with a Woods Or Water Getaway and a newly-launched Spotify playlist. Adding to the brand’s national Dew Outdoors campaign, individuals have until November 19 to win “Get Out and Do” prizes like the Woods OR Water Getaway of their choice (valued at almost $10,000), and two tickets to a 2022 LOCASH concert. Additional prizes include a 2022 Ford F-150, a yearly supply of DEW, and more! To get in on the action, individuals can scan the QR code in-store or visit DEWOutdoors.com to complete activities such as taking pledges, polls, learning something new, posting on social media, or getting outdoors. Full rules and regulations for the Dew Outdoors “Get Out and Do” prize promotion can be found here. Fans can also blast their favorite tunes by visiting Spotify for a special Woods or Water playlist curated by Dee Jay Silver.

Taking Woods & Water to the stage, the boisterous and unrestrained performers are currently headlining and performing festival dates across the country including Tortuga Music Festival next Sunday (11/14) in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Find all upcoming appearances here.

LOCASH recently returned from the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 2021 USO Tour. On the six day, seven stop tour the chart-topping twosome performed for our military members, participated in troop engagements, and shared meals with U.S. service members from Air Force, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Space Force, and Army.

Joining LOCASH on their journey was Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General John E. Hyten, actor Wilmer Valderamma, recording artist Lauren Daigle, comedian Taylor Williamson, New Orleans Saints’ Hall of Fame members, Deuce McCallister and Michael Lewis, and Miss America, Camille Schrier. This marks the second time that LOCASH has been tapped for a USO tour with Gen. Hyten.

“It’s been more than a year since we were able to thank our troops in person—we can’t express how thankful we are for General Hyten inviting us along and providing the opportunity for us to express our gratitude in-person at a USO show to those protecting our freedoms once again,” said LOCASH.

In addition to touring, the “One Big Country Song” singers have been hard at work, focusing on songwriting and making music, including a hattrick of recently released collaborations. LOCASH joined the Australian duo, The Wolfe Brothers for the rebel-rousing duet, “Startin’ Something.” The music video for the barnstormer was released internationally today—watch it HERE. Additionally, LOCASH teamed up with Jimmie Allen for “Get Country,” the first song on Allen’s critically-acclaimed Bettie James Gold Edition album as well as the duo’s own “Cloud of Dust (feat. The Gronkowski Brothers),” written with the famed football-loving brothers.

THE WOLFE BROTHERS ARE "STARTIN’ SOMETHING" WITH A NEW DUET RELEASE ALONGSIDE POWERHOUSE COUNTRY DUO LOCASH

Australian Duo Announces Fifth Studio Album Kids on Cassette Release Date: July 30

Australian duo The Wolfe Brothers today announce the release of their latest barnstormer, “Startin’ Something,” with American Country duo, LOCASH. Hailed by the brothers as “a party starter from Tasmania to Tennessee,” the track delivers with a sonic vibe reminiscent of the international clinking of a Cascade Blue tinnie to a Budweiser can and brings together two much-loved duos with a generous helping of bravado and cheer. 

Produced by Lindsay Rimes (Luke Bryan, Kane Brown, Kylie Minogue) the good time tune captures a similarly joyful fusion of Country, Rock and Pop as The Wolfe Brothers’ previous hit collaboration with Rimes, “No Brakes.” “Startin’ Something,” originally written in 2016 with Jordan Brooker (Luke Combs), will be featured on the Australian duo’s new album, Kids on Cassette, which was announced today to be released internationally on July 30.

“We wanted to make a record we could play live anywhere - from the back of a truck to a stadium and ‘Startin’ Something’ seemed to be one of those songs that kept giving us that feeling,” said bassist Tom Wolfe. “We first shared a stage with LOCASH back in 2016 when their single ‘I Love This Life’ was dominating the charts— fast forward five years—we were digging through our catalogue and rediscovered this track and it transported us back to that time – we knew we had to reach out to the guys!”

In the five years since originally crossing paths both duos have signed with BBR Music Group/BMG and had a slew of successes including multiple No. 1 radio hits—to make for a pairing that promises great things and delivers in spades.

Emerging from their award-winning album, Country Heart, Kids on Cassette is The Wolfe Brothers’ fifth studio album and first following the band’s signing at BBR Music Group/BMG. “Startin’ Something” is the third single released from the new record and will be sent to Australian radio May 30. The track comes hot on the heels of their 14th consecutive Aus Country Airplay No. 1, “Anybody Ever,” which is still in the Top 20 (29 weeks and counting) as well as its predecessor, “No Brakes” that spending 22 weeks in the Top 20. With songs of this calibre Kids on Cassette promises to be a crowd pleaser.

Pre-save/pre-add The Wolfe Brothers new album Kids on Cassette HERE.

“We’ve pushed ourselves into new areas, feels and sounds for this record - It's got heart, soul and a lot of fun in this one—I can’t wait for people to hear it,” says vocalist/ lead guitarist Nick Wolfe. “We’re really proud of the end result and just can’t wait to play the songs live!”

LOCASH TEAMS UP WITH GRONKOWSKI BROTHERS FOR “CLOUD OF DUST”

CMT Music Award-Nominated Duo Follows Up No. 1 Hit with “Beers to Catch Up On.”


Chart-topping Country duo, LOCASH  today announces the availability of “Cloud of Dust (feat. The Gronkowski Brothers).” Striking up a friendship while quarantined, LOCASH and the football-loving Gronkowski brothers wrote the song while hanging out at Chris Lucas’ (of LOCASH) house. In conjunction with the song's release, The Gronks shared a video on their YouTube Channel last night which shows how the song was written and gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of the song.. The track itself is now available everywhere digitally HERE.

 

 Kicking off with a banjo and a "chug!" chant, the song launches into a head banger complete with 80s electric guitar. The song offers a big more edge than we're used to from LOCASH, who are experts at crafting party anthems, with this one taking the good times to a whole new level. Infusing landmarks from the town where Chris, Dan, Glenn, Gordie and Rob Gronkowski grew up, the song reflects the fun-loving brothers affinity for a good time and reputation for partying hard.

“I’m not sure there is a group of brothers that know how to throw down more than The Gronk Brothers—they were the perfect pick to help us finish this song,” said Preston Brust (of LOCASH). “Not only did they add their infectiously, energetic golden Gronk touch to the lyrics but they also rocked some vocals on the track and made the song feel and sound like a big anthem!”

“We’ve been getting to know Rob outside of the spotlight and the touchdowns and he is an awesome guy—meeting his brothers and getting to work with them was such a fun, creative experience,” said Chris Lucas (of LOCASH). “It was also such a natural fit to collaborate with them, because our last album is called Brothers and it’s all about coming together and that brotherly bond.”

Hot off their No. 1 smash “One Big Country Song," which earned the pair a nomination for CMT Music Awards “Duo Video of the Year,” LOCASH appeared on the Coffee, Country & Cody show yesterday morning to talk about their latest single “Beers to Catch Up On” as well as their WSM at 95 special, taking place tonight, October 14 on WSM radio at 5pm CT.

“Cloud of Dust” was written by: Preston Brust, Chris Lucas, Dallas Davidson, Blake Bollinger and The Gronkowski Brothers.

BROKEN BOW'S WHEELHOUSE SIGNS LOCASH


BBR Music Group/BMG announced today the signing of Country duo, LOCASH as the latest addition to its roster of artists. LOCASH’s Preston Brust and Chris Lucas, joined BBR executives at their Music Row offices for the signing (see photo). LOCASH has been assigned to the Wheelhouse Records imprint, where they will join labelmates, Trace Adkins, Granger Smith, Runaway June and Walker McGuire.

LOCASH, who is known for their high-energy live performances as much as their smash hits, cemented their place in Country music with GOLD-certified tracks like “I Love This Life” and their #1 chart-topper, “I Know Somebody,” which earned them nominations for ACM Awards for New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year, CMT Music Awards for Duo Video of the Year, and CMA Awards for Vocal Duo of the Year.

“LOCASH has accomplished so much on their own, people in the industry have really embraced them,” said Jon Loba EVP, BBR Music Group. “Their entrepreneurial spirit mimics our own and we are so excited to work with them and look forward to watching them soar.”

Lauded as “one of Nashville’s hardest-working acts” by Rolling Stone, the pair has two albums and eight charting singles to their credit and has taken their talents on the road, performing for thousands of fans as part of their own headlining tour as well as in support of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s SOUL 2 SOUL Tour.

“We’ve known Loba for years and had our sights on BBR since before we signed our first deal but knew we had to get the timing right, now it just feels like all of the stars have finally aligned and this is where we’re supposed to be,” said Preston Brust of LOCASH. “It is a bit of a ‘pinch me’ moment, we’re such big fans of everybody on the roster and are honored to be named alongside such incredible artists.”

“They have put together an incredible team at BBR and with the full support of BMG behind them, there’s no better team to help take our career to the next level,” said Chris Lucas of LOCASH. “Talking with Zach Katz, who has made such an incredible impact on the music business and everybody on the BBR team, we could just immediately tell our music was going to be in the right hands and as a songwriter and artist, there is no better feeling.”

In addition to their own radio success, Brust and Lucas have penned hits for Country megastars like Keith Urban (#1 song “You Gonna Fly”) and Tim McGraw (PLATINUM-certified “Truck Yeah”).

LOCASH PROVES THEY'RE "THE FIGHTERS" - NEW ALBUM RELEASING ON JUNE 17

www.locashmusic.com

LOCASH fans are eagerly looking forward to June 17, 2016. It’s on that date that the fast-rising duo of Chris Lucas and Preston Brust will release their first full-length album for Reviver Records, entitled The Fighters.

“The past year has been filled with so many highlights, and Chris and I have been so honored and humbled with the attention our music has gotten from radio and the fans,” said Brust in a statement. “Since we released the I Love This Life EP back in October, our fans have consistently been asking for new music. We’re glad to be bringing that to them. We couldn't be more proud of this project & our road to getting here. The title track says it all. This one is for you. This one is for The Fighters.”

Of the upcoming release date, Lucas added, “All I can say is, ‘Wow.’ I feel like we can finally show the world what LOCASH is all about and the sound we want to portray to excite the fans and future fans in our industry. I can not wait for everyone to hear what we have been working on so hard for years!”

After becoming favorites with fans thanks to singles such as “Here Comes Summer” and “Keep In Mind,” LOCASH saw their career climb to the next level with the release of their 2015 single “I Love This Life,” which recently topped the singles chart. They also made their national TV debut on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! and NBC’s Today Show in March, performing their hit single as well as latest single, “I Know Somebody.”

The Fighters includes “I Know Somebody,” as well as fan favorites “Shipwrecked” and “Drunk, Drunk.” The duo has been featuring much of the new material in their live shows this past winter and early spring.

KELLIE PICKLER, CRAIG MORGAN AND LOCASH AMONG HEADLINERS FOR ASHLEY FOR THE ARTS MUSIC AND ART FESTIVAL

Admission Wristbands For The Three-Day Event Available For $10!


West Central Wisconsin is a hotbed for summer music festivals. There is one festival that doesn’t quite fit the mold, but has quietly attained a cult following of sorts amongst its growing fan base. It’s called Ashley for the Arts, and it’s held in Arcadia, Wis.

So, why should you attend? This may sound cliché, but there just may be something for everyone. Oh, and there is one more thing: The cost of admission to this three-day charity event (Aug. 11-13) is a whopping ten dollars. Admission wristbands are available at the gate.

So, what do you get for ten dollars?

Let’s start with the music. This year’s headliners include 2016 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Chicago, as well as American Authors, X Ambassadors, Kellie Pickler, Craig Morgan and LOCASH. Eclectic, right? And that’s just the headliners.


 OK, what else?

The venue is perhaps the most awe-inspiring aspect of Ashley for the Arts. The 54-acre Memorial Park serves as the backdrop for the event. It has open green spaces, mature trees, and a beautiful outdoor amphitheater; and also features Soldiers Walk, one of the premier war memorials in the U.S. outside of Washington, D.C. This park is certainly not one that you would expect to see in an isolated rural community. Among his many philanthropic contributions, Ron Wanek, founder and chairman of Ashley Furniture Industries, Inc., was the lead benefactor and architect of this majestic park.

And it is more than capable of handling large crowds. Two miles of walkways subtly direct pedestrian traffic by art and craft vendors, four music stages, a car show, a hot air balloon launch, an air park, an interactive art station, and a kids jungle gym and playground area. Each year, Ashley for the Arts also features a run/walk event, a bike race, a kid’s obstacle course, a sky lantern launch during Friday’s and Saturday’s headline performances and an unforgettable fireworks show on Saturday night.

There are additional music entertainers and many family-friendly off stage performances throughout the Friday and Saturday portion of the event, including a wheel of death, fire poi, juggling, balloon sculptures, bubbles, Wild West-themed performances, a living statue and a scavenger hunt. A Mexican Dance group dressed in traditional attire will perform on Saturday, as well.

As if the family friendly aspect of this event weren’t already self-evident, here’s another golden nugget: With their $10 admission wristband, children can gain unlimited access to the performances, the air park (bouncy houses), the jungle gym playground area, the interactive art activities area, and scavenger hunt activities and they are provided with many FREE giveaways and prizes. So, outside of the food and drink, Mom and Dad can rest assured that they won’t need to break the bank if they bring the kids along.

With food and beverage booths (and bathrooms) aplenty, free parking and free bus shuttles to nearby parking areas and the county campground just North of Arcadia, one can begin to understand why attendance for this festival has grown by an average of 50% per year since its inception in 2009.

LOCASH MAKES MORNING SHOW DEBUT ON NBC'S TODAY SHOW WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 24TH AND LATE NIGHT DEBUT ON ABC'S JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16TH

Photo by Jake Harsh

One of the feel good stories in country music during the past year is the success story of Reviver Records recording duo LOCASH. Consisting of Preston Brust and Chris Lucas, they've watched as “I Love This Life,” has climbed all the way to No. 2 on the Billboard airplay chart.

Watching the rise of the song, which was co-written by veteran songwriter Danny Myrick and Academy of Country Music Awards nominee Chris Janson, has been a moment that the duo will never forget.

“Hard work is really starting to pay off for us,” says Chris Lucas. “We have been seeing the response live. People are singing it back to us. It’s an amazing feeling, for sure.” Brust agrees, adding, “Every day is so exciting. I know this sounds like a cliché, but dreams do come true. We have worked so hard to get to this point. It’s so surreal.”

And, with 2016 in gear, the good times are only going to get better. On February 24, LOCASH will make their network morning show debut on NBC’s The Today Show from New York City, and will guest on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live just a few weeks later, on March 16.

The Today Show is one of the most iconic network shows of all time,” says Brust. “When you think about all of the artists that have gotten a chance to showcase their talents on that platform, you realize just how lucky you are.” As far as the Kimmel appearance, Lucas says it’s just more of their goals being realized. "Come on, late-night network television, man! Who doesn’t dream of that? We’re just so blessed and grateful for everything that is going on right now with our careers, and our team that has gotten us where we are. I think if you talked to Preston or me, either one of us would definitely say… 'I Love This Life.'"

LOCASH has also just released their follow-up to their smash hit, with “I Know Somebody” beginning to make an impact at radio.

NEW YORK, NY (April 27, 2015) – Rising country music duo LOCASH announce their premiere on the most-viewed and highest-rated country music dedicated YouTube channel, Country Now.

With heartfelt, solid convictions, old-fashioned storytelling and strong lyrical artistry at the root of their songs like “Best Seat In The House,” an emotional ode to the father of the duo’s Chris Lucas, and newly-penned “Shipwrecked,” influenced by John Legend, the duo has been turning heads with their songwriting skill since being discovered by songwriter Jeffrey Steele.

LOCASH EXPANDS PALATE WITH RELEASE OF SIGNATURE WINE LINE, SHIPWRECKED

Premiere Label Sauvignon Blanc Now Available at Shipwreckedwines.com


NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 27, 2015) – There is an age-old alignment between country music and alcohol, but while the rest of the country music world reaches for their whiskey or beer bottles, rising country duo LOCASH is popping open wine corks. As their new single “I Love This Life,” swiftly climbs the country radio charts and they embark on their 2015 I Love This Life Tour, they announce the arrival of their signature wine line, Shipwrecked.

In partnership with Stonum Vineyards of Lodi, California, the duo is slated to release five signature wines on the Shipwrecked label in 2015-17 including a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, which is now available, a Cabernet blend, Chardonnay, old vine Zinfandel and Syrah.

“We have always been huge wine guys,” said LOCASH’s Preston Brust. “A good bottle of wine is like a good song – its various ‘notes’ and aromas take your mind and senses to new depths. It’s a creative experience. I think that’s why we like it so much.” Now, thanks to their partnership with Stonum Vineyards, they have an entire line of wine to call all their own.

In 2014, around the time they signed their new record deal with Reviver Records, the duo met Jonathan Ozor, who along with his cousin, artisan winemaker Michael Stonum, owns and operates Stonum Vineyards, Incorporated.

“We met in Aspen, Colorado and bonded over a bottle of our 2010 Old Vine Zin.,” said Ozor. “I was immediately impressed by Chris and Preston’s deep knowledge and passion for wine. We talked about wine all weekend and I couldn’t wait to introduce them to Mike.”

To no surprise to Ozor, Chris and Preston found a kindred spirit in Stonum, and a partnership was formed to create a new line of wine that would allow them to funnel their mutual creativity and passion for wine into a signature LOCASH line.

“Shipwrecked is a state of mind," said the duo's Chris Lucas. "Whether you’re 'shipwrecked,' on an island in literal terms, 'shipwrecked' at your job, in a relationship or some other way in your personal life, things can always be made better by great friends, great music and great wine.”

LOCASH’s springtime debut is the 2014 Shipwrecked Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from the exclusive Towne Vineyards of Napa Valley, California. It is now available for purchase at shipwreckedwines.com.

Representing the minimalistic winemaking style of Stonum Vineyards, the unrefined, unfiltered wine features bursts of lime and grapefruit, followed by a soft hint of apricots and peaches. Subtle, well structured, and true to its namesake, this wine finishes like a cool, ocean breeze and arrives just in time for spring’s warmer weather. It is available for $28 per bottle and ships at or below 64 degrees to preserve its fresh flavors.

To purchase the 2014 Shipwrecked Towne Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc or access more information on Shipwrecked, visit shipwreckedwines.com.

Stay updated on LOCASH’s upcoming tour dates, media appearances and fun, every day antics out on the road by visiting locashmusic.com and following them on Twitter and Facebook.

SINGLE REVIEW: "I LOVE THIS LIFE" - LOCASH

SINGLE: "I Love This Life"
ARTIST: LoCash
REVIEWER: Maria Tamalo
Follow Maria on Twitter at @Maria_Tamalo


Locash's newest single "I Love This Life" paints a perfect picture of what it means to live country. They talk about loving their "small town world" which includes everything from broke in boots to camo hats to fresh cut fields and the "country line bar where they all know my drink." It sounds to me like they both came from the types of small towns where everyone knows everyone, which could quite possibly have been the influence of this song. They love everything that comes with the territory of living a country life. Coming from a small town myself, I can definitely relate. These lyrics speak the truth to what it is like growing up in a small town world.

We're glad to see LoCash back in the spotlight and expect to see great things from these guys!

You can purchase "I Love This Life" on iTunes.
