A Lire Si Tu Le Veux Bien Easton Corbin est un chanteur américain de musique country né le 12 avril 1982 à Trenton, en Floride. (Trenton est un village américain, situé dans le comté de Gilchrist dans l'état de Floride.) Le village s'étend sur 6,7 km² et compte 1 717 habitants depuis le dernier recensement de la population. Il a 3 ans quand ses parents divorcent. Il est alors élevé par ses grands-parents dans leur ferme. C’est là qu’il découvre un tourne-disque et qu’il décide d’enregistrer un jour ses propres chansons. Dans sa famille on ne joue pas d’un instrument de musique, cependant la musique fait partie des matières qu’il apprend. Chaque jour, quand il rentre de l'école, Easton pratique la guitare pendant des heures, parfois jusqu'à ce que ses doigts soient à vifs, puis va aider son grand-père pour des travaux autour de la ferme. Ses grands-parents aimaient regarder le samedi soir le Grand Ole Opry et les émissions télévisées de Country Music comme ‘’Hee Haw’’, une émission de variétés mettant en vedette la musique country ou encore ‘’ Opry Backstage’’ et ‘’ Opry Live’’ ne sachant pas que plusieurs années plus tard, il se produirait en tant qu'artiste invité sur la scène du Grand Opry House. Il passa aussi son temps à découvrir et écouter les disques de son grand-père et de ses oncles. Easton a commencé à jouer de la guitare dans un groupe local pour se produire la première fois en public. Auparavant, il avait tout de même chanté et joué à l’école pour des fêtes, mais il était trop jeune pour jouer dans les bars. Une audition inopinée dans un magasin de musique local conduit Easton à participer à la ‘’Suwannee River Jam’’, un festival à proximité qui attire des milliers de personnes. "Il n'y avait que moi et une guitare en face d'un champ de 6 hectares plein de gens’’ se souvient Corbin. C'était génial ! Un événement change sa vie quand, à 14 ans, il a commence à prendre des leçons de guitare avec un musicien de Nashville expérimenté et respecté : ‘’Pee Wee Melton ‘’. Celui-ci décède en 2000 alors que ‘’ Corbin n’avait que 17 ans. Ce fut une épreuve difficile car cela faisait 3ans que Melton lui donnait des cours. Il continue ses études et passe un diplôme de commerce au Collège d'agriculture de l'Université de Floride à Gainesville. Il se marie le 2 septembre 2006 avec Briann qui a le même âge que lui et le 14 Octobre suivant, le couple déménage à Nashville. Easton fait partie du plateau d’artistes pour la Suwannee River 2013 Il trouve un emploi à Ace Hardware (une coopérative de matériel) tandis que sa femme, Briann, prend un emploi dans un cabinet de médecin. Il trouve un emploi à Ace Hardware (une coopérative de matériel) tandis que sa femme, Briann, prend un emploi dans un cabinet de médecin. Un lointain cousin, également, professeur de musique à l'Université du Montana, écoute la musique d’Easton. Etant proche du milieu artistique, il recommande celui-ci à certains de ses contacts à Nashville. James Yelich agent de production et Joe Fisher directeur principal de A & R , assistent à une audition de Corbin, dont les influences musicales sont George Jones, Merle Haggard, George Strait et Keith Whitley. Suite à cette entrevue l’artiste signe un contrat sous le label Mercury Nashville. Carson Chamberlain auteur-compositeur, producteur de disques et guitariste (il produit également Billy Currington) participe et prend en charge la carrière de Easton Corbin. Ce dernier a été ravi de pouvoir poursuivre son rêve, et il a bien sûr rapidement accepté l’offre. Il sort son premier single, ‘’ A Little More Country Than That’’ en juillet de la même année. Le label publie un extended play, composé de quatre titres en août 2009. Le single entre au Top 40 du Billboard Hot Country Songs. L'album ‘’Easton Corbin’’ sort en mars 2010 sous la production de Carson Chamberlain. L'album se vend à plus de 43 000 exemplaires au cours de la première semaine. La chanson ‘’The Way Love Looks’’ co-écrite par Easton avec Chamberlain et Sanders, est une chanson d'amour pure, simple, amusante et optimiste. Tony Lane, David Lee et Johnny Park ont écrit ‘’ Roll With It ‘’, qui parle des couchers de soleil et des pick-up. Chamberlain avait fait des concerts des années plus tôt avec Keith Whitley en tant que Steel guitariste et fut le leader de son band. Les deux hommes ont commencé à travailler sérieusement d’arrache-pied en essayant de trouver les bonnes chansons pour Easton. Carson Chamberlain Mark D. Sanders Le résultat est un album over-the-top qui comprend des morceaux de compositeurs de haut niveau de Nashville comme Mark D. Sanders, Wynn Varble, Tony Lane et David Lee, entre autres. Le premier single, ‘’ Little More Country Than That’’ qui a été écrit par Rory Feek (du duo Joey & Rory), Don Poythress et Varble, brosse un tableau de la vie rurale qui parle de la sensibilité des petites villes d'où ils viennent. Ce single paraîtra en juillet de l’année 2009. Sortie des derniers albums: 2009- ‘’A Little More Country Than That’’; Label: Mercury Nashville 2010- ‘’Easton Corbin’’; Label: Mercury Nashville 2012- ‘’All Over the Road ‘’; Label: Extended plays Le second single ‘’Roll with It’’ sort et se classe également à la première place en octobre 2010. Le troisième single de l'album ; ‘’I Can't Love You Back ‘’est sorti le 8 novembre 2010. A Little More Country Than That : http://youtu.be/oS1NfjLkdSM Il dit : ‘’Un de mes premiers souvenirs remonte à mes trois ou quatre ans : j’étais assis entre mes parents dans la voiture et une chanson jouait à la radio; j'ai utilisé le levier de vitesse comme microphone, car le désir a toujours été là ! " Sa voix de baryton et sa Country Music traditionnelle sont souvent comparées à celles de George Strait. http://youtu.be/oS1NfjLkdSM Né et élevé à Gilchrist County, Easton passé une grande partie de son temps sur la ferme de son grand- père, éleveur de bovins. ‘’J'ai vécu à un mile de la Suwannee River a déclaré Corbin. J'ai grandi et pêché sur ses rives et j’ai adoré travailler à la ferme. Chaque week-end possible c'est là où je serai. " The Suwannee River .

    Meet Easton Corbin - Easton Corbin Sign Up Sign In Easton Corbin Meet Easton Corbin Welcome to Easton Corbin Easton Corbin knew he wanted to be a country singer well before he learned Sign Up how to play guitar. or Sign In “One of my earliest memories is from when I was three or four,” he remembers. “I was sitting between my parents in the car and a song came on MUSIC the radio—it was Mel McDaniel’s ‘Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On’. I began using the gearshift as my microphone. The desire has always been there.” Born and raised in rural Gilchrist County, Fla., Easton spent much of his time on his grandparent’s cattle farm after his parents divorced when he was young. “I lived a mile from the Suwannee River,” he says. “I grew up fishing on it and I loved to work on the farm. Every weekend, that’s where I’d be.” A member of FFA and 4-H, Easton showed cattle at the local livestock fair. Growing up in the smallest county in the state on farmland nestled between two small towns had its advantages. “It’s a close community,” he says. “Everybody knows everybody. “There’s no Wal-Mart there,” he says. “There was a Hardees's, but it closed. That was the only franchise fast food place in the county. Trenton has a red light; Bell has a blinking light. It’s a great place.” While no one in his family played a musical instrument, music was a big part of his upbringing.

  • MEN of ACTION MURRY HAMMOND JD WILKES TEDDY THOMPSON JASON and the SCORCHERS DB Harris (Deron Braxton to His Family) Is a Native of Birmingham, Alabama
    Online Issue 5 WINTER 2008 in this issue MEN OF ACTION MURRY HAMMOND JD WILKES TEDDY THOMPSON JASON AND THE SCORCHERS DB Harris (Deron Braxton to his family) is a native of Birmingham, Alabama. He notes of his home State that “Hank Williams, Louvin Brothers, and the Maddox family had some roots there, but as far as what got me first it was probably bluegrass. From there it was sort of a porthole into country for me. I'm really glad I found some real key influences that turned me on to what I do now." He recorded an album Deep Dark Black having written the songs while down in Mexico and recorded it back in Alabama. He recorded the follow up Can I Return These Flowers? in Austin, Texas drawing from such talented local players as Eddie Perez to make n album that was described by one local writer as a blend of Dwight Yoakam, Chris Isaak, and The Mavericks. A fair description of the mix between the singing styles of Roy Orbison and the Bakersfield sounds of Buck Owens and Wynn Stewart. DB was doing a double marketing degree from Auburn University whikle parsuing his musical career. For his next release he added more guitars, some groovy Farfisa organ, a hint of surf pop and the result was Contagious Heartache, a concept record of sorts that looked at the trials and tribulations of heartache that was at times darker than the previous album but without losing its sense of humour. In January 2006 DB moved to Nashville, Tennessee where he recorded his latest album Country For Groovers which has just been released.

  • ASCAP/BMI Comment
    Stuart Rosen Senior Vice President General Counsel November 20, 2015 Chief, Litigation III Section Antitrust Division U.S. Department of Justice 450 5th Street NW, Suite 4000 Washington, DC 20001 Re: Justice Department Review of the BMI and ASCAP Consent Decrees To the Chief of the Litigation III Section: BMI recently alerted its community of affiliated songwriters, composers and publishers to the profound impact 100% licensing would have on their careers, both creatively and financially, if it were to be mandated by the U.S. Department of Justice. In a call to action, BMI provided a letter, one for songwriters and one for publishers, to which their signatures could be added. The response was overwhelming. BMI received nearly 13,000 signatures from writers, composers and publishers of all genres of music, at all levels in their careers. Some of the industry's most well- known songwriters added their names, including Stephen Stills, Cynthia Weil, Steve Cropper, Ester Dean, Dean Pitchford, Congressman John Hall, Trini Lopez, John Cafferty, Gunnar Nelson, Lori McKenna, Shannon Rubicam and Don Brewer, among many others. Enclosed you will find the letters, with signatures attached. On behalf of BMI, I strongly urge you to consider the voices of thousands of songwriters and copyright owners reflected here before making a decision that will adversely affect both the creators, and the ongoing creation of, one ofAmerica's most important cultural and economic resources. Vert truly yours, Stuart Rosen 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10007-0030 (212) 220-3153 Fax: (212) 220-4482 E-Mail: [email protected] ® A Registered Trademark of Broadcast Music, Inc.
