Josh Turner - Holiday & the Hits
<p>Multi-platinum-selling recording artist Josh Turner is releasing his first-ever Christmas album King Size Manger.<br>The holiday project features fresh interpretations of the classics and introduces four originals, three of which<br>were written or co-written by Turner. Plus, Turner is joined by very special guests including Turner’s wife and<br>four boys singing a holiday classic, a family tradition Turner wanted to feature on this special album. In support<br>of the album, Turner will embark on a 16-city Holiday & The Hits Tour, culminating at Nashville’s Ryman<br>Auditorium, where the album will come to life alongside Turner’s most notable hits.<br><br>“Making a Christmas record can be a mighty daunting task for an artist,” says Turner. “There are so many<br>songs to choose from and there’ve been so many versions of those songs throughout history. It can be<br>intimidating to know whether you’ll be able to measure up to what’s already been done and when I get to that<br>point, I step back and remind myself that I have to do what I hear in my heart. You may be surprised to hear<br>my arrangement on some of these songs that you know so well. We had a lot of fun throwing out all the<br>preconceived notions of what a Christmas record should sound like. In my opinion, it’s about the words and<br>the heart and soul of how a song sounds. You don’t need jingle bells on a song to make it a Christmas song.”<br><br>With his deep bass voice, Turner has sold more than six million records, reached 3.2 billion global streams, and<br>has become a favorite and unforgettable hitmaker on country radio. With timeless songs like “Long Black<br>Train” and “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” Turner’s five No. 1 singles include “Your Man,” of which the official<br>music video recently surpassed 100 million views. This comes on the heels of the release of Your Man Deluxe<br>Edition, celebrating 15 years of Turner’s iconic double Platinum-selling album, as well as the release of the mini<br>documentary “Josh Turner Your Man 15th Anniversary” (Mini Doc). The Double-Platinum-selling “Would You<br>Go With Me,” featured on Your Man Deluxe Edition, recently experienced a viral surge across TikTok leading to<br>a jump in streaming which landed the classic country tune on Spotify’s US Viral 50 along with Spotify Viral<br>charts in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland. Posting more than 3.7M weekly streams, “Would You Go With<br>Me” moved inside the Top 35 on the Country streaming chart and ranked HOT on Amazon Music’s Voice Index.<br>A native of South Carolina, Turner has received six Inspirational Country Music Awards, and has been<br>nominated for two GRAMMY Awards, five CMA Awards, two ACM Awards, one CMT Award, and seven ACA<br>Awards. To support music and arts education, he created The Josh Turner Scholarship Fund to help students<br>pursue their studies in these fields.<br><br>Tickets are $65, $55 and $40 plus tax and an online/phone ticketing fee (this fee is waived when tickets are<br>purchased in the Gift Shop).

Yacht Rock Revue
<p>Yacht Rock Revue began in the least-yachtiest of states, 2,000 miles from breezy Marina del Rey. Lead singer/guitarist/group spiritual leader, Nick Niespodziani and Pete Olson met in the fourth grade in suburban Indiana, went on to Indiana University in the late Nineties, formed the band Y-O-U, then escaped – Rupert Holmes reference intended – to Atlanta. One night, Y-O-U tucked their tongues deep in their cheeks and played a show of Yacht Rock songs. The rowdy (a nice way of saying drunk), sold-out crowd loved it. When the club owner asked them to do it again, Niespodziani didn’t want to. But the club owner had an ace up his sleeve: money.</p><p>Over the years, YRR (there’s also a Dave, a Greg, and literally three guys named Mark) have turned themselves into human wine spritzers, playing 120 to 150 shows a year, mastering Yacht Rock’s slick chords and mellow grooves, and partying like it’s 1979. What began as a joke among friends soon put a ripple in the zeitgeist, starting a national trend through YRR’s concerts, lauded as “unabashedly joyous affairs” by Entertainment Weekly. They accumulated an extensive wardrobe of white belts and polyester shirts. Yacht Rock Revue were revered and well-compensated! Their life was a tenor sax solo! This is what every musician wants.</p>
