\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

New EP coming early summer 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Kyle Cox has signed a label\/management deal with Rock Ridge Music.\u00a0 As part of the deal, Cox will be releasing a new EP in early summer 2016.\u00a0 Originally from Orlando, FL, Cox has been praised by press, particularly for his 2014 album\u00a0The Plan, The Mess<\/em>;\u00a0Absolute Punk\u00a0<\/em>called it \u201can absolute pleasure\u2026 astounding\u2026. Confident, polished and endlessly melodic\u2026 an engaging delight.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Says Cox of the deal: \u201cI’m really excited to start working with Rock Ridge Music. Since our first meeting together, it’s felt really comfortable and seems to be a great fit. They are a small, boutique, hardworking group, which I really appreciate. I’ve always been a scrappy, blue-collar, hardworking sort of artist, and they seem to really not only understand my approach as an artist, but also have experience building the careers of similar working artists.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Says Rock Ridge Music CEO Tom Derr of the new signing: \u201cAs an artist, an entrepreneur and as a person, the connect with Kyle was lightning quick, and moving ahead was never in doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The forthcoming EP was recorded in East Nashville with producer Mike Marsh (drummer of The Avett Brothers). \u00a0It was Cox\u2019s fourth time working with Marsh and his third time as a producer.\u00a0 \u201cThis EP for me has been paying respects to a lot of artists I love who have been way before me; folks like Willie Nelson & John Prine,\u201d says Cox.\u00a0 \u201cThe whole thing is a trio, with drums, bass, acoustic, and lead vocals being tracked live.\u201d\u00a0 Says Marsh of working with Cox: \u201cI believe Kyle\u2019s words. His message is simple but bold and he has an honesty and texture in his voice that drew me in immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cox\u2019s forthcoming EP is his fourth and follows on the heels of his album,\u00a0The Plan, The Mess<\/em>, which demonstrated his dedication to the art of songwriting\u2014the song was always the focal point and never buried in the production process.\u00a0 Cox draws inspiration from peers and legends alike while never letting his unique voice get lost.\u00a0\u00a0Under The Gun Review\u00a0<\/em>called the album \u201ca collection of soulful, heartfelt songs,\u201d while\u00a0Infectious Magazine<\/em>\u00a0said it was \u201centrancing and versatile\u2026 a stunning display of artistry.\u00a0 This album is perfection.\u201d\u00a0Glide Magazine<\/em>\u00a0proclaimed, \u201che sure can craft a catchy song.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Having toured extensively, Cox is very familiar with hard work.\u00a0 Possessing a \u201cput your head down and pound the pavement\u201d mentality, he has done everything from opening up for more established acts (including Matt Hires on four tours) in packed venues to playing for smaller, more intimate living room crowds.\u00a0 Whatever the size of the venue, Cox has an innate ability to connect with the listener through his songs in a deep and personal level.\u00a0 He has two upcoming shows confirmed (February 11th at The Basement in Nashville, February 16th at Eddie\u2019s Attic in Decatur, GA). \u00a0He also plans to hit the road with labelmate JD Eicher in March; dates will be announced soon.<\/p>\n
