NICK GILL SIGNS LABEL DEAL WITH ROCK RIDGE MUSIC<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Nashville, TN-based pop-rock singer-songwriter Nick Gill has signed a label deal with Newark, NJ-based Rock Ridge Music.\u00a0 Gill\u2019s first release for Rock Ridge will be his forthcoming album, Waves Are Only Water<\/em>, which is scheduled for digital release on October 30, 2012.\u00a0 Says Gill about the partnership with Rock Ridge Music:\u00a0 \u201cI’m so incredibly excited about signing with Rock Ridge. I’m a huge fan of the artists on the roster, and I\u2019m so thankful that my new record is\u00a0in such great hands!\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Says Rock Ridge Music CEO Tom Derr about the new signing:\u00a0 \u201cNick brings his talent and dedicated work ethic to our roster, adds another great piece to our talent pool, and helps grow our reach overall, which in turn is helpful for every artist on our roster. We’re proud to have him on our team.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Waves Are Only Water<\/em> is Gill\u2019s fourth \u00a0release (his first three came out while he was still in high school).\u00a0 Produced by Ed and Scott Cash in Franklin, TN, the album features seven tracks.\u00a0 Barely out of his teens, the young performer, who was born in Washington, DC and grew up in Fairhope, AL, has already toured the country, been featured in many newspapers and magazines, and received radio airplay, all while juggling high school and performing\/touring.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Press has been very positive and supportive of his work thus far.\u00a0 Where Y\u2019at<\/em> in New Orleans praised his musical promise and comparing him to a young Jack Johnson, saying, \u201cThere\u2019s great raw emotion communicated through his tracks.\u201d\u00a0 The Mobile, AL Register<\/em> dubbed his self-titled EP \u201ca whale of a calling card.\u201d\u00a0 Muzikreviews.com<\/em> praised his self-titled EP\u2019s lyrical maturity and his \u201cwarm and mature beyond-its-years\u2019 vocal ability.\u201d\u00a0 An early review of Waves Are Only Water<\/em> from Life-is-Awesome.net<\/em> placed Gill\u2019s music among luminaries in the singer-songwriter field:\u00a0 \u201cTracks like \u2018Risky Business\u2019 offer up a slower, darker groove, picking up the melancholic thread laid before him by artists like David Gray and Jonathan Rice, further highlighting his musical growth. His vocals are deep and buttery, rich with a confidence that betrays his age and his music stylings are more focused with his natural ability further developed. There are influences from the likes of modern male singer\/songwriters like Josh Rouse, Josh Kelly, Matt Nathanson and earlier John Mayer.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Gill plans to tour this fall in support of Waves Are Only Water<\/em>; tour dates will be announced soon.\u00a0 He will be performing at the annual Hotel Carolina singer-songwriter festival being held in Isle of Palms, SC, which is taking place September 20-22, 2012, at the Windjammer.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
