    Elvis Costello began writing songs at the age of thirteen. 2017 marked the 40th anniversary of the release of his first record album, My Aim Is True. He is perhaps best known for the songs, “Alison”, “Pump It Up”, “Everyday I Write The Book” and his rendition of the Nick Lowe song, “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace Love and Understanding”. His record catalogue of more than thirty albums includes the contrasting pop and rock & roll albums: This Year’s Model, Armed Forces, Imperial Bedroom, Blood and Chocolate and King Of America along with an album of country covers, Almost Blue and two collections of orchestrally accompanied piano ballads, Painted From Memory - with Burt Bacharach and North. He has performed worldwide with his bands, The Attractions, His Confederates - which featured two members of Elvis Presley’s “T.C.B” band - and his current group, The Imposters – Steve Nieve, Pete Thomas and Davey Faragher - as well as solo concerts, most recently his acclaimed solo show, “Detour”. Costello has entered into songwriting collaborations with Paul McCartney, Burt Bacharach, the Brodsky Quartet and with Allen Toussaint for the album The River In Reverse, the first major label recording project to visit New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and completed there while the city was still under curfew. In 2003, Costello acted as lyrical editor of six songs written with his wife, the jazz pianist and singer Diana Krall for her album, The Girl In The Other Room. He has written lyrics for compositions by Charles Mingus, Billy Strayhorn and Oscar Peterson and musical settings for words by W.B.

  • Parker Millsap Delivers Inspired Rock-N-Roll on the Very Last Day, Due out March 25Th
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JANUARY 2016 PARKER MILLSAP DELIVERS INSPIRED ROCK-N-ROLL ON THE VERY LAST DAY, DUE OUT MARCH 25TH MILLSAP ELEVATES MUSICALLY, LYRICALLY AND THROUGH SUBJECT MATTER ON STRIKING SOPHOMORE EFFORT Nashville, TN – Dynamic Oklahoma born singer/songwriter Parker Millsap will release The Very Last Day on March 25th, via Okrahoma Records/Thirty Tigers. The anticipated sophomore release boldly showcases the growth in both Millsap’s arresting vocals and his thoughtful, intelligent songwriting. Since the 2014 release of his self-titled debut, Parker Millsap has been steadily building a dedicated fan base, wowing audiences and garnering critical acclaim from outlets such as USA Today, NPR, and The Wall Street Journal. He has also performed at high profile festivals including Stagecoach, Austin City Limits Festival, and Forecastle. Millsap’s themes are both traditional and contemporary, and rife with life and literary influences. Whether he’s singing about the experience of a gay friend, longing for his evangelical father’s acceptance in “Heaven Sent”, or as the king of the Underworld in “Hades Pleads” (inspired by Greek mythology) his character- driven narratives evoke emotion and draw the listener in. Millsap co-produced The Very Last Day with Grammy Award-winning engineer Gary Paczosa (John Prine/Alison Krauss/Dolly Parton) and recorded it at Dockside Studio in Maurice, Louisiana. Along with band-mates fiddle player Daniel Foulks, bassist Michael Rose and drummer Paddy Ryan, the album features a bigger and lusher sound than his debut, incorporating percussion, piano and Millsap on electric guitar. Guest vocalists Sarah Jarosz, Sara Watkins and Aoife O’Donovan shine on an album highlight, “Heaven Sent”.

    <BillNo> <Sponsor> HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 215 By Clemmons A RESOLUTION to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of Oh Boy Records. WHEREAS, we take great pleasure in recognizing a hometown independent business that has transformed the business model for record labels over the past forty years; and WHEREAS, Oh Boy Records, an independent record label located in Nashville, was founded in 1981 by multiple Grammy-Award winner and legendary singer-songwriter the late John Prine and his manager, business partner, and friend, the late Al Bunetta; and WHEREAS, the saga of Oh Boy Records began in 1980 when John Prine moved to Nashville after his recording contract expired; rather than sign with another label, he decided to start one of his own and was joined in the venture by Mr. Bunetta; and WHEREAS, the new Oh Boy label's first release was a red vinyl Christmas single with John Prine singing "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" on the A-side and "Silver Bells" on the B-side; and WHEREAS, Oh Boy's first full-length release was Mr. Prine's Aimless Love, which album was completely fan-funded and helped launch the label and secure its future; and WHEREAS, Oh Boy's business model was successful and proved that singer- songwriters could excel without the support of a major label; and WHEREAS, over the years, John Prine received lucrative offers to purchase the Oh Boy label, but he wisely decided to remain independent; and WHEREAS, since Mr. Prine's death last year, his wife, Fiona Whelan, and son, Jody Whelan, have continued his legacy through their ongoing
