Eight Underrated Acts at Tortuga Music Festival 2016 Eight Underrated Acts at Tortuga Music Festival 2016 The big names need no introduction: Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley, and Tim McGraw will draw the biggest crowds of Tortuga 2016. But it’s the little guys, the wildcard acts at the massive, annual country-music beach party, that will provide the surprise thrills. Though most are relative newcomers, several of the artists on this list, including Cam, Muddy Magnolias, and Ryan Hurd, have experience singing and/or writing for huge stars. Their names might not be familiar yet, but these eight acts sure as hell know how to put on a good show. Complete Tortuga Music Festival Schedule 8. Randy Houser. 5:30 p.m. Friday, Tortuga Stage. The music video for Randy Houser’s “We Went” follows a pair of Bonnie and Clyde-like lovers as they steal from the less deserving and hand out cash to a church and later a struggling single mother. The film and the song combine the two worlds that Houser occupies, the sometimes-sensitive, always manly arena-rock country and the Jamey Johnson, Merle Haggard-led outlaw country. Having written for the likes of Trace Adkins, Houser didn’t see his own work top the charts until 2013, when he was in his mid-30s, with “How Country Feels.” This late-blooming honky-tonk crooner has enjoyed a series of number-ones, continuing his ascent with the recently released Fired Up. 7. Cam. 1:30 p.m. Friday, Tortuga Stage. After a star-making performance at this year’s Academy of Country Music Awards, Cam (born Camaron Marvel Ochs) won’t be flying under the radar much longer. She performed an acoustic version of her single “Burning House” and blew the crowd away. The 31-year-old California native and former Miley Cyrus songwriter satisfies the hunger for pop-country outside of the boys club that makes up the headliners. With a sound that’s a mix of Dolly Parton and Katy Perry and a genre- bending debut LP, Untamed, Cam is on the threshold of superstardom.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Issue 105 Randy Houser’S Late Night with Dave Nothing Was “Normal” About Last Thursday Night’S Late Show with David Letterman
    September 2, 2008 Issue 105 Randy Houser’s Late Night With Dave Nothing was “normal” about last Thursday night’s Late Show With David Letterman. First, and foremost, while country sightings are rare on their own, it’s unheard of for a country singer with a debut single barely inside the Top 50 (when he was booked) to get a shot as the musical guest. It was also a rarity for Letterman himself to order the booking. But Letterman’s hand in re-arranging the song for that night’s performance is something that Late Show Musical Director Paul Shaffer says never happens. The career of Universal South’s Randy Houser took an unbelievable turn a few months ago when, according to Shaffer, Letterman heard Houser’s “Anything Goes” on one of Sirius Satellite Radio’s Country channels. Letterman called New York and asked his talent coordinator to book Houser. Crump Plaza: The Marj & George Aubrey Crump Terrace But Letterman took it a step further when he called Shaffer was dedicated at the Country Music Hall of Fame And Museum just prior to the 1pm vocal on Sept. 1. More than 65 close friends and relatives from the rehearsal on the day of the Hampton Roads area of Virginia attended the ceremony, which show. Shaffer told a small came on what would have been the 63rd wedding anniversary group of folks hanging for Marj and her late husband, George, who passed away in 2005. From 1955-2000, the Crumps owned and operated WCMS – around onstage after the show where Country Music Swings -- one of the nation’s first full-time that Letterman said he was a Country stations.

  • January 16, 2019 – Singer-Songwriter Randy Houser Brings His North American Tour to the Santa Ynez Valley for a Night of Country Music on Friday
    Contact: Mike Traphagen [email protected] COUNTRY MUSIC STAR RANDY HOUSER TO PERFORM AT CHUMASH CASINO RESORT SANTA YNEZ, CA – January 16, 2019 – Singer-songwriter Randy Houser brings his North American tour to the Santa Ynez Valley for a night of country music on Friday, February 15, at the Chumash Casino Resort’s Samala Showroom. The show starts at 8 p.m., and tickets are $39, $44, $49, $54 & $59. Houser is touring in support of his latest album, “Magnolia,” which was released on Jan. 11 and will be accompanied by a full-length film of the same name. The title draws its name from his home state of Mississippi, the Magnolia State, where the platinum-selling artist has been cultivating a homegrown, organic sound over the past two years. The film will feature live performances by Houser and follow a storyline that embodies the sentiment of the album’s lyrics. The first track off the new album, “What Whiskey Does,” featuring Hillary Lindsey, was released in 2018 and became a Top 40 hit on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. It’s yet another example of success for Houser, who was writing hits for country stars before he was signed as an artist in 2008. His first album, “Anything Goes,” featured a title track that cracked the Top 20 on the Hot Country chart, and “Boots On,” which climbed to No. 2 in 2009. Houser’s first No. 1 hit, “How Country Feels,” was the title track to his third studio album, which also featured the No. 1 smash “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight” and Top 5 hits “Goodnight Kiss” and “Like a Cowboy.” The singles “How Country Feels” and “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight” were certified platinum and put Houser on the country music map in 2013.
