About George Shingleton:
George Shingleton’s latest single, “Have a Good Time,” will be released on October 9, 2020. Produced by Dave Pahanish (who co-wrote #1 songs recorded by Jimmy Wayne, Toby Keith, and Keith Urban), “Have a Good Time” is a rollicking country/Southern rock jam that feels like it would have been as at home on ’70s radio as it will on streaming platforms in 2020. In addition to Shingleton, the song features Shane Sanders on lead guitar, Tom Bukovac on guitar (Hank Williams Jr., Willie Nelson, Keith Urban), Steve Mackey on bass (Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, Peter Frampton), Jefferson Crow on keyboards (Gary Allan, Sturgill Simpson, Jamey Johnson), and Bradford Dobbs on drums.
“Have a Good Time” is the third single from Shingleton’s forthcoming album, Out All Nighter, which is due out December 4, 2020. “Have a Good Time” follows on the heels of the second single, “Handful of Hell,” which was released in May, and the first single, “Fire or Flame,” which was released in February. Shingleton’s music, and “Handful of Hell” in particular, earned praise from American Songwriter earlier this year, which called it: “…grittier… There’s a lost honesty in country music like Shingleton’s and that’s on display in his newest song, ‘Handful of Hell’…” Shingleton also plans to get into the holiday spirit before his album drops with the release of a standalone holiday single, “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” on October 23, 2020.
As a teen, he fell in love with the sounds of Hank Williams Jr., Ronnie Van Zant, Gregg Allman, Waylon Jennings, and Merle Haggard, and his music was eventually informed by all of them, toeing the blurry lines between Americana, country, blues, Southern rock, and gospel. The integrity of his stories and sound has earned him the respect of other artists, including Darryl Worley, John Michael Montgomery, Bucky Covington, Montgomery Gentry, Charlie Daniels, Bo Bice, and Keith Anderson, all of whom have invited him to share their stage.

About Victoria Bailey:
Huntington Beach, CA-based classic country singer-songwriter Victoria Bailey released her album, Jesus, Red Wine & Patsy Cline, on September 18, 2020. Grounding Bailey’s timeless country music palette is her crystalline voice; an inviting warm tone with the occasional flutter that transports you back in time to a classic honky tonk, one where Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris were all in heavy rotation.
Produced by Jeremy Long, Jesus, Red Wine & Patsy Cline is a whiskey-smooth concoction of crisp guitars, silky fiddle, and radiant pedal steel that expertly glides beneath Bailey’s magnetic, California sun-kissed soprano. Bailey brings the classic country spirit to the 21st century through relatably raw, non-sugarcoated songwriting, evoking a fiery, no-holds-barred lyrical approach in the vein of Margo Price.
PopMatters.com called her music “…a country romp… a rollicking, narrative-driven sound,” while Cowboys & Indians lauded her “storytelling soul-twang,” and Americana Highways praised her “grit mixed with personality, fluency in her musicality, she’s expressive and imaginative… Sawdust thick, whiskey-smooth…” Saving Country Music said of Victoria: “If you’re looking for a honky tonk sweetheart, then you’ve found one in native Californian Victoria Bailey, who comes sauntering out of the painted desert on a Palomino like a singin’ cowgirl from the days of old, seducing you with… a sweet soprano with the most perfect country warble… a full package of country music goodness… Classic, but cool.”
