Stoney Creek Records’ platinum-selling band, Parmalee today announces their latest single, “Be Alright.” The heartbreaking track, available everywhere digitally now, has become a fan-favorite at the quartet’s live shows and as a result, will impact Country radio this Monday, July 29.
The song follows the emotional toil caused by betrayal, the demise of a relationship and all of the complicated feelings it brings. Lead singer, Matt Thomas flexes his acting chops in the video for the single, where he plays the heartsick lead, two-timed by his unfaithful love. The music video, which Taste of Country says “pack[s] all of the raw emotion of a messy breakup,” and “hurts if you’ve been through a breakup” can be watched here and on CMT.
“The second we heard this song, we knew we had to record it—it immediately tugged on our heartstrings and just placed us in that guys shoes, which is a tough place to be,” said Matt Thomas. “We really enjoyed getting into the studio, playing around with it and really making it our own while keeping that raw emotion of the song.”
Upon hearing the song, Parmalee immediately reached out to David Fanning (who produced the track). Within days, the team gathered at Legends Studio in Nashville to record it. Since its release in March, loyal Parmalee fans have embraced “Be Alright” and has become an instant sing-along at the band’s concerts.
Known for their hits as much as their high energy performances, the band, comprised of brothers Matt and Scott Thomas (lead vocals and drums), cousin Barry Knox (bass) and their best friend Josh McSwain (lead guitar), formed in 2001 as a bunch of small town boys chasing wild weekend nights. Despite their success over the years, which includes award nominations, three consecutive Top 10 singles (including the Platinum-certified, multi-week #1 smash “Carolina”) and the release of two full studio albums, Parmalee has never lost their heart or that rowdy energy that built the foundation for their music.
Groundbreaking DJ/remixer/producer Dee Jay Silver has officially released his album, Corners, today, July 26th, marking the first full-length album of original music in his nearly 20-year career. Corners (Reven8te Nashville) captures the open-format performer’s unique ability to blend all types of music from hip-hop and rock to house and country into a non-stop at-home party featuring an array of guest artists from all genres including LOCASH, Waterloo Revival, Lil’ Flip, Constantine, and recent The Voice contestant Rizzi Myers, among others. PRESS HEREto listen to Corners on all DSPs.
“The reason for naming the record Corners is because this album literally takes you into all corners of my mind,” explains the multifaceted artist. “This album has songs from all genres. There’s country crossover songs from Waterloo Revival and LOCASH and hip-hop tracks featuring Constantine from LA and Lil’ Flip from Houston, plus a remix of my single ‘Safe Zone,’ Top 40 pop songs, original house tracks made for the clubs, and more. This album has been a long time in the making and I’m excited for everyone to finally hear it!”
Corners officially begins with a sweet prelude from Silver’s almost 3-year-old son, Wake, leading into the album’s critically-acclaimed debut single “Getaway Driver” featuring country duo Waterloo Revival. Taste of Country, who first premiered the pop-country track, called it “a high-energy love song” and added, “Silver’s original music continues to target fans of a more progressive country sound, but he doesn’t break format with this guitar and drum loop-anchored love story.” Additionally, The Boot described the song as “a pumped-up love anthem ready-made for summer” and Music Row noted, “Country’s favorite mix master teams up with this up-and-coming group for a sunny outing.”
Elsewhere on the 11-track album is a remix of his 2018 R&B-tinged single “Safe Zone” featuring Cort Carpenter, EDM bangers “Bring That Bass Back” and “Drop It Like,” hip-hop tracks “Go Off” featuring Constantine and Lil’ Flip and “Rubberband Money” featuring Rizzi Myers, and the country-dance-leaning “Don’t Get Better Than That” featuring LOCASH, the latter of which Silver recently told Celeb Secrets is the song he’s most proud of on the album. “The first tour bus I was ever on was with [LOCASH] about 12 or 13 years ago,” he explained. “We’ve been working forever trying to do records together and finally, we got a track together so it’s great.” Full track listing for Corners below.
Dee Jay Silver will be out on the road throughout the remainder of the year supporting Corners on separate tours alongside country superstars Luke Combs and Jason Aldean in addition to various country music festivals and headlining gigs. This year’s outing on the “Ride All Night Tour,” where Silver will be spinning between sets by Aldean, Kane Brown and Carly Peace, marks his 10th tour as Aldean’s resident DJ.

Idaho Statesman praised that the special evenings “evolved into something greater than a meticulously rehearsed stadium show…Singing with a voice that’s still rich and spot-on, Brooks uncorked hit after hit.” The shows also marked the first-ever concerts at Albertsons Stadium and the largest entertainment event in Idaho history.
Since the tour launch, Brooks has broken stadium attendance records in St. Louis, MO at The Dome at America’s Center, Glendale, AZ at State Farm Stadium, Gainesville, FL at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, two sold-out nights at Minneapolis, MN’s U.S. Bank Stadium, Denver, CO at Mile High Stadium, Eugene, OR at Autzen Stadium and two sold-out nights at Boise, ID’s Albertsons Stadium shows on 7/19 and 7/20, both of which sold-out in under an hour.
The next stop will be Regina, SK’s Mosaic Stadium show on 8/10 that also sold-out in under a hour, averaging just over 75,000 tickets in each city. Brooks recently added a second date in Regina, SK on 8/9 due to demand.
