Inspired By Fellow Female Artists Karen McCormick Recognizes That a Song Is More Than "Just A Song"3/14/2018 Though artist Karen McCormick began singing her in church and school choirs, it wasn’t until she was riding in the car with her father listening to Taylor Swift’s song Tim McGraw when she realized that music was her passion. Begging her father for a guitar at the age of 13, Karen began writing and producing her own songs.
Finding songwriting to be therapeutic as well as a way to think through a tough situation, Karen hopes her music reflects real emotions and is relatable to her audience. Karen’s style is contemporary. By creating songs which combine aspects of both the country and pop genres, Karen wants to introduce fans who only listen to pop music to country music and vice versa. This Friday Karen will release her new single Just a Song, which recognizes a song’s ability to reflect different meanings on different people. The idea for the song came from attending a Song Suffragettes show in Nashville, where Karen currently lives. Inspired by the talent and passion of her fellow female artists, Karen wrote Just a Song in just four hours. Hosting a release party this Thursday, Karen wants to remind those who have influenced and supported her throughout her musical journey. By the end of the year Karen plans to release her debut EP and tour across the country. So follow Karen’s journey by finding her on social media at @KarenLMcCormick and on her website at http://karenmccormickmusic.com/ and preorder Just a Song here. Never knowing what life is like without music, Carolyn Routh was destined to become an artist herself. Being asked to sing “All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth” in second grade, Carolyn stepped into the spotlight and was immediately hooked knowing the stage was the right place for her to be.
With her family and friends behind her, Carolyn set out to write her own music. Being a passionate person Carolyn speaks from the heart. Enjoying country music for its fluidity between genres, her music can be enjoyed by any listener. Later teaming up with friend Daniel to form the duo Nu-Blu Carolyn is curious to see how her audience reacts to their new style. Now ready to hit the road, Carolyn hopes to “reach as many people and touch them on an emotional level, one day at a time, one person at a time.” So find her music available on iTunes, Spotify, and on Nu-Blu’s website at www.nu-blu.com. The new Americana single from Jodee Lewis, Buzzard’s Bluff is a cathartic release from deep within the Missouri Ozarks. The natural lush landscapes are home to beautiful views, but just like the numerous birds of prey, a dark secret is always circling. The swelling ache of the violin takes center stage as the melodies wander deeper into the mountains. It is the first single and title track off the upcoming album, Buzzard’s Bluff, due out April 6.
Lewis, now living in Chicago, grew up in Missouri where a deep passion for music rang through her home at an early age. The sounds of Merle Haggard, EmmyLou Harris, and Waylon Jennings became a familiar chorus of voices that influenced her own storytelling. Buzzard’s Bluff opens with a haunting chill that quickly becomes an anthemic march. With a raw and honest cadence, Lewis sings with a spine tingling melody that commands attention. The steady beat of the drums intertwine with a deep bass, energetic strings, and a harmony filled chorus. The memory of the area still clings to Lewis as she explains, “There were a number of things about my childhood that were tragic and unhappy, yet the Ozarks is deep in my bones and I still carry a great love for the area and it’s beauty, even after fleeing to Chicago almost 20 years ago.” Buzzard’s Bluff draws inspiration from growing up in a small town, the trials of faith, and a 19-year marriage with children. No journey is without its crosses, and the album emerges after years of self-reflection and struggle. As an artist, Lewis had to search deep within her spirit to deal with the unexpected turns of life. Dealing with personal loss is hard enough, but the devastation can shake repressed memories loose and bring them to the surface. Now sober for five years, Lewis has grown an exceptional amount both personally and as an artist. She explains, “My songs are more honest and they’re executed much better because I have my head on straight. I’m proud to share that with my friends and family who have supported me along the way.” |
