SMALL TOWN PISTOLS BULLET THEIR WAY THROUGH MUSIC CITY

Upcoming Appearances In Country Weekly and on CMT.com, Heartland and ZUUS Country

PRESS RELEASE

(Nashville, Tenn – May 12, 2014) – Country duo Small Town Pistols recently garnered attention as they made their way through the Music City on a media blitz in support of their self-titled debut record.  As a result, the duo is scheduled to be featured in several TV and print outlets this month. On May 13, the music video for Small Town Pistols’ single “Colour Blind” will be featured as CMT.com’s Independence Day video. Country Weekly will feature the duo as the “Who’s New” artist for their May 19 issue, which will be on sale May 12. Also on May 19, the pair will apprear on ZUUS Country in ZUUS’ “On The Rise” segment.  "Colour Blind" was also recently featured as Heartland's "Rising Star" video during their Top 10 Countdown.

The musical pair recently introduced their music to the US with a whirlwind of private performances and a Nashville showcase. Small Town Pistols, made up of siblings Amanda and Tyler Wilkinson, spent the latter part of April in Nashville recording new music, preparing for their first local showcase and making their way through Music City on a media blitz.

Prior to the duo’s successful showcase at Nashville’s The Rutledge, the duo played a string of exclusive office visits on music row, including a live performance and interview with WSM’s Bill Cody.

MusicRow Magazine recently posted their thoughts on the duo, saying “They harmonize as only siblings can. Tyler takes the lead on the verse with her harmonizing, and Amanda sings lean on the choruses with him harmonizing. In either mode, they are sensational. Essential listening. Give them a new U.S. deal, pronto.”

Small Town Pistols also revieved prestigious nods in their native Canada earlier this year with a nomination for the 2014 JUNO Awards in the Country Album of the Year category. They were also nominated for a SiriusXM Indie Award in the category of Country Artist/Group of the Year.

This coming June, Amanda and Tyler will appear at the CMA Music Festival as part of the 2014 CMA Music Festival Kick-Off Concert on Wednesday, June 4 at the Chevrolet Riverfront Stage.  The show is free and open to the public.

SMALL TOWN PISTOLS RELEASE NEW MUSIC AND VIDEO, "COLOUR BLIND"

Amanda and Tyler Wilkinson Return To U.S. As Newly Formed Duo

PRESS RELEASE

(Nashville, Tenn. – Jan. 30, 2014) - Former members of the chart-topping trio The Wilkinsons, Amanda and Tyler Wilkinson, are making their stateside return as Small Town Pistols to release new music from their self-titled debut album.  The duo’s first single and video, “Colour Blind,” is now available on iTunes and YouTube.

The duo co-wrote the song with Joey Moi, who is credited for producing the track (“Colour Blind”) and other hits by Florida Georgia Line (“Cruise,” “Get Your Shine On,” and “Round Here”) and Jake Owen (“Barefoot Blue Jean Night,” “Days of Gold”).

“Colour Blind,” which serves as a lyrical reminder to see everyone’s unique colors and to enjoy all of life, is the first stateside single off their current album.  Following the success of their debut, self-titled project in Canada, Amanda and Tyler were anxious to bring their music back to Nashville.

“It’s home for us,” said Amanda.

As teenagers, Amanda and Tyler launched their careers as The Wilkinsons, a band made up of themselves and their father, Steve Wilkinson.  Together, they produced two consecutive stateside Top 20 singles, “26 Cents” and “Fly (The Angel Song),” and achieved success at Country radio that led to the success of their first album, Nothing But Love, which reached No. 16 on the Billboard Top Country Albums charts in 1998.   That same year, the group garnered nominations for the Country Music Association's Horizon Award and Vocal Group of the Year Award; the Academy of Country Music’s Single of the Year Award; and two GRAMMY Awards (both for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group).

A few years later, with nine Canadian Country Music Awards, a Juno award (equivalent to the American GRAMMY) and a hit reality television series under their belts, Tyler and Amanda both briefly set out to pursue solo careers, but it wasn’t long until they would collaborate again and form Small Town Pistols.

The duo’s debut full-length album is already available through iTunes and other digital retailers.
