Things Change

Posted on: February 28th, 2013 by skyv8435
  Somethings may look familiar. Ella Mae Bowen and band rehearse here at Skyville every week.   http://www.fox17.com/newsroom/top_stories/videos/wztv_vid_16719.shtml   This full band rehearsal isn’t your typical Music Row set up. Ella Mae Bowen is signed to Big Machine Records -which is the label home of artists like Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw.
She’s working on her debut album, but the guys playing and singing background vocals aren’t a professional band or studio musicians, they are college students at Belmont University. “I never would have dreamed I would be able to audition for an artist singed to Big Machine” says Junior Bryce Cain. Ella Mae and her manager came up for the idea when she was searching for a band. “Instead of filing or answering phones they could play music which is what they came to school to do” says Ella Mae’s manager, Tracy Gershon. “You learn everything in class, teachers make it sound easy, you study it, make an A on a test., but until you see it and do it it’s different” says Cain. The opportunity to be hands on is actually a win win. Ella Mae says she is learning too. “I’ve always been a writer and singing and performing go hand and hand, but as far as s working with a band, I felt behind the curb, so this has been great” she says. The four interns were narrowed down from 20 who auditioned for this rare opportunity. “I woke up and got the email in my box and was like ummm I am in the coolest band ever” says Cain. They must complete at least 10 hours a week, but usually volunteer for much more. After all, it’s not everyday you get to hear songs being considered for an album, or play a last minute major label gig. “All the things I learn in class I can apply to relay world as a band that is signed to a label” says Cain. “They are insiders as to everything going on, first to hear new songs when bring them from the writing room. They find out first because for now they are my band” says Ella Mae.
     

“Golden”

Nashville, TN – Feb. 19, 2013 – From Good Morning America’s New York
City studio this morning, seven-time GRAMMY winning trio Lady Antebellum
announced the release of their fourth Capitol Nashville studio album GOLDEN,
available in stores on May 7.
“This album feels to me like one of those that from start to finish could be a good
road-trip record and that’s what we wanted,” said Lady A’s Charles Kelley. “It’s
one of the reasons why the term ‘golden’ was kind of cool. I think about road
trips and driving down the road with those little streaks of sunshine popping
through the trees, especially at sunset. ‘Golden’…it just gives you this warm,
easy feeling.”
“Writing and recording this record really took us back to when we first met each
other,” added Hillary Scott. “When I first met the boys, we spent a lot of time
around the piano at the house they lived in at the time. We didn’t really know
each other at all, but there was still some magic and then the harmonies – that’s
how it all started – that blend of our voices and that blend of our songwriting craft.
So, it’s exciting that even on our fourth record, we can still find that.”
“The word ‘golden’ to me conjures up a lot of pictures,” continued Dave
Haywood. “In the title track, it depicts driving down the road at sunset but, to me,
it also depicts a special time in our career…a ‘golden,’ special time for us. We
definitely want to value this time in our careers because it’s such a treasure that
we can still sit in a room and write songs together. I personally feel so humbled to
still be making records that people are excited to hear.”
The new album’s lead single “Downtown” already stormed the Country radio
charts, becoming the trio’s career highest charting debut. People noted “this
preview of Lady A’s next album is slinky, sexy fun…crazy-catchy and downright
soulful.”
Lady A’s previous three studio albums have paved the way for GOLDEN, which
follows over 11 million album sales, six career No. one hits and seven GRAMMY
awards. Last year alone, more than one million fans in over 11 countries
welcomed the ACM and CMA award-winning trio on their headlining tour.
