Cam Releases “Diane” Music Video

Acclaimed Country singer-songwriter Cam has released the video for “Diane”, the first single off her highly anticipated forthcoming sophomore album coming later this year via Arista Nashville/RCA Records. The video was shot in Los Angeles, CA and directed by Daniel Carberry (Betty Who, Rise Against and more), who also directed the video for Cam’s breakout hit “Mayday” released in 2016. Watch the video HERE and read Cam’s exclusive interview with People on the making of the video HERE.

The stunning retro visuals take you through the journey of infidelity. Says the singer, “It’s the apology so many spouses deserve, but never get. The other woman is coming forward to break the news to the wife about an affair, respecting her enough to have that hard conversation, once she realized he was married. And in true country fashion, I’ve set the whole raw story to upbeat music, so you can dance while you process it all.”

Devin Dawson Adds MORE Tour Dates

Taking the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart last week, breakout musician Devin Dawson has added a slew of new headline dates in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Nashville and San Jose. The only country artist on Entertainment Weekly’s “8 Artists Who Will Rule 2018” list, Dawson is continuing to catch the attention of fans and critics alike with what the publication calls an “intoxicating swirl of pop, R&B, and rock” featured on his debut album Dark Horse. The project landed in the Top 5 on both Billboard Country Albums Sales and Country Albums charts and features his Top 10 and rising single, “All On Me.”

Always looking for ways to connect with fans, the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter has partnered with Samsung for “Doers Defying Barriers,” a one-night-only discussion and performance as part of NYC Unplugged on February 22.

Dawson will shed light on his meteoric rise which has earned him a spot on People’s “Ones to Watch” list and ELLE’s Fall Culture Preview in addition to Artist to Watch lists by Huffington Post, AXS and Billboard. He will also share his experiences from when he made his national television debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers the same week his “memorably melodic breakout out” (Billboard) “All On Me” arrived at radio as well as his elite status as one of few artists to make his TODAY show debut in both the 8AM and 10AM hours.

The Nor-cal native will head out with label-mate Brett Eldredge on his “The Long Way” Tour this April. Multiple dates are sold out and available tickets can be purchased here: devindawsonmusic.com/tour.

Chris Young Donates $10K to St. Jude Country Cares For Kids To Celebrate His 10th No. 1 Single

It was a week of perfect 10s for platinum-selling entertainer Chris Young! Last Monday the RCA Records Nashville singer/songwriter scored his 10th No. 1 single with “Losing Sleep” – the title track to his chart-topping album and namesake for his sold-out arena headlining tour. Chris went on to thank Country Radio for his 10th No. 1 single by making a $10,000 donation to St. Jude’s Country Cares For Kids campaign during Country Radio Seminar 2018.
 
“When I first signed to RCA I got to visit St. Jude in Memphis during Country Cares for Kids weekend and was amazed by the lifesaving miracles they perform every day,” said Chris. “The relationship between Country Radio and St. Jude is unlike any other and I can’t think of a better way to share my thanks than this.”

Over the weekend, Chris continued to score, bringing his headlining “Losing Sleep 2018 World Tour” to Eaglebank Arena in Washington, D.C., Big Sandy Superstore in Huntington, WV and Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, PA, where the crowd’s cheers exceeded a blistering 110 decibels! This marks the fourth straight weekend of sold-out arena shows for the ACM nominated singer.
 
Chris Young, along with special guests Kane Brown and LANCO, return to the road this upcoming weekend as the “Losing Sleep 2018 World Tour” heads to Atlanta, GA, St. Augustine, FL and Ft. Meyers, FL.
 
Tickets and VIP packages for the “Chris Young Losing Sleep 2018 World Tour,” promoted by AEG Presents and Concerts West, can be purchased at ChrisYoungCountry.com.
