LANCO’s 1st No. One “Greatest Love Story” Goes Down In History

LANCO MAKES HISTORY ON BILLBOARD’S COUNTRY AIRPLAY CHART
AND EMERGING ARTISTS CHART WITH FIRST NO. ONE HIT “GREATEST LOVE STORY”
Lead Singer Brandon Lancaster Becomes Only Country Artist In Over a Decade
to Perform and Pen First Chart-Topping Hit Alone
 
Band’s Authentic Style Resonates Nationwide Landing On Pandora and Hits Magazine “Watch List”
 

NASHVILLE, TN – Nov. 20, 2017 – Sony Music Nashville’s breakthrough band LANCO earns their first-ever No. One on the Billboard Country Airplay chart this week with the GOLD single “Greatest Love Story” off their self-titled EP. “Shaking up the Country charts” with “his confessional style lyrics” (Entertainment Weekly), lead singer Brandon Lancaster takes credit as the sole writer behind the hit, marking the first time in over ten years an artist’s first No. One on the chart has been solely written by the artist. Simultaneously, this week’s top-selling new group reaches No. One on Billboard’s Emerging Artist Chart ending Dua Lipa’s six-week reign at the top spot on the all-genre chart.

 
“It’s absolutely incredible to write a song that our entire band has believed in since day one…and for our years of hard work to finally pay off,” said lead singer Brandon Lancaster. “We built our foundation as a band on ‘Greatest Love Story’ because we believed in the power of Country music story telling. To see how much it has resonated with so many people makes us feel little less crazy for believing in it so much. We also acknowledge the hard work effort that is put into achieving this from our team, record label and Country radio and if it wasn’t for them we would probably still playing this song to empty bars for anyone who would listen.”
 
“Few bands have have generated as much buzz as LANCO” (Pop Culture) as they were just named one of Pandora‘s “2018 Country Artists To Watch” and were also hand selected as this month’s Hits Magazine “Vibe-Raters.”  As their groundswell movement reaches new heights, Lancaster reigns at No. One for a seventh consecutive week on the Top Country Songwriters chart, based on streams, sales and airplay and he serves as the only artist to reach this accolade in 2017. Critics nationwide have raved about LANCO’s “Greatest Love Story,” leaving high exceptions for their forthcoming full-length debut set for release in early 2018.
 
“A tender first exposure for many listeners, but it just scratches the surface for LANCO. The five-piece offers an energetic live show and songs with an upbeat worldview, a welcome elixir for the pessimism of modern times.” – Billboard
 
“A sentimental misfit’s anthem, powered by sweeping romanticism and emotive lyricism.”— Hits Magazine
 
“Served as the backdrop for countless proposals this summer, with numerous fans popping the question during LANCO’s live performances.” – Entertainment Tonight
 
“The nostalgic single…is  the kind of love story from days gone by, the one you learned about from your grandparents and their generation, when times where simpler and so was love. It’s the love story we all still want to believe in.” – CMT
 

LANCO’s self-titled debut EP can now count more than 100 million streams. Already named as “the band to watch” by Bobby Bones, CMT, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, Spotify and more, LANCO gained their momentum from touring the country’s top festivals including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Watershed, Faster Horses and more. Opening for artists such as Dierks Bentley, Brothers Osborne and Jake Owen, LANCO continues to make “notable first impressions” (The Desert Sun) as direct support for Dustin Lynch’s THE RIDE OR DIE TOUR and will head out in January for Chris Young’s LOSING SLEEP WORLD TOUR. Additionally, LANCO was just announced as performers for the inaugural Rare Country Awards (12/14) where they are nominated for “Best New Artist”.

FROM MINNEAPOLIS

Chase & Ovation: “THE Salute to the Music of PRINCE!”

In Chase’s own words~

“In the decade before his passing, Prince allowed me to travel the world and perform in Tribute and in Reverence to his music. In particular, over the past six years, Chase & Ovation has been allowed and extremely blessed to perform a monthly concert at Prince’s favorite hometown/local live music venue (‘Bunkers Music Bar’) located in our hometown and in the heart of the North Loop of Minneapolis. I have always done this with Prince’s knowledge under the name ‘Chase & Ovation,’ and am frequently joined on stage with many of Prince’s former band mates. I wake up filled with gratitude every day and give thanks in prayer for the gift of music that Prince has given to me, but MORE importantly the gift that he has given to the world!”

Let us always remember to Celebrate Love… Life… And the Music of PRINCE!

How to book your favorite rapper without being ripped off

We see and hear horror stories from fraternities and colleges all over the country that have been scammed/ripped off by fraudulent booking agents. It is much safer to go through a reputable, legitimate booking agency instead of trying to direct book an artist directly. In many cases, the information on their social media isn’t up to date and you can easily be wiring money to someone who doesn’t actually even work with the act anymore. Before booking an artist, check their website for references. Do they announce a show, have flyers behind it, and then have follow up pictures and videos from the show with references from clients? If the answer is no, you likely are being scammed. It is absolutely worth paying the extra 10% booking fee to ensure an artists shows up, performs a full set (at least 60 minutes) and that all the terms of the contract are followed.

Be sure to read this story. This exact “talent agency” Global Talent ripped off a guy in Knoxville last Fall. He wired them several thousand dollars.

A couple of quick examples.

* We saw one inexperienced promoter pay Gucci Mane $100,000 plus travel expenses for him to do a ‘walk through” and they sold tickets to 3,000 people promoting it as a “full concert”. As a result, you had 3,000 irate, pissed off concert goers who paid $40 per ticket to see a 15 minute performance.

*Inexperienced promoter in Memphis wired a fake agency in Ohio $30,000 to book a Mac Miller date. Turns out, Mac wasn’t booked at all to perform. The promoter was never able to get their money back.

At Hutch Entertainment, we book acts such as Migos, Two Chainz, Juicy J, BoneThugsandHarmony, Ying Yang Twins, A$Ap Ferg, Lil Wayne, Chief Keef, A Tribe Called Quest, Boozie BadAzz, Post Malone, Rick Ross, and many more that give full performances of at least 60 minutes. We don’t do “walk throughs”. We have a twenty five year track record of buying artists for fairs, festivals, corporate events, night clubs, and colleges (for fairs and festivals). We LOVE what we do and want to give our customers experiences they won’t forget.

We send a representative out to every booking to ensure everything runs smoothly from the time we confirm your artist through their performance to make sure your event goes off perfectly! Please be responsible and careful on who you work with! We would love the opportunity to earn your business so shoot us a message!

Robert Randolph & the Family Band

We have a few open dates for Robert Randolph & The Family Band:  December 27 – 31…

Robert Randolph & The Family Band

Any musicians claim that they “grew up in the church,” but for Robert Randolph that is literally the case. The renowned pedal steel guitarist, vocalist and songwriter led such a cloistered childhood and adolescence that he heard no secular music while growing up. If it wasn’t being played inside of the House of God Church in Orange, New Jersey—quite often by Robert and members of his own family, who upheld a long but little known gospel music tradition called sacred steel—Randolph simply didn’t know it existed.

Which makes it all the more remarkable that the leader of Robert Randolph and the Family Band—whose label debut for Sony Masterworks, “Got Soul”—is today an inspiration to the likes of Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana and Derek Trucks, all of whom have played with him and studied his technique. It wasn’t until he was out of his teens that Randolph broke away from the confines of his social and musical conditioning and discovered rock, funk, soul, jazz and the jam band scene, soon forging his own sound by fusing elements of those genres.

THOMAS RHETT SCORES EIGHTH NO. ONE WITH “CRAVING YOU,” THE FASTEST-RISING SONG OF HIS CAREER PEAKING IN JUST 15 WEEKS

Only Half-way Through the Year, Thomas Rhett’s “Driving, Sexy” (Rolling Stone) Hit Marks Second Chart-Topper of 2017

Nashville, TN – July 10, 2017 – ACM Awards Male Vocalist of the Year Thomas Rhett’s “bold” (GQ) single “Craving You” feat. Maren Morris hit No. One today on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase charts, sky-rocketing to the top in just 15 weeks as the fastest-rising song of his career so far. The single marks Thomas Rhett’s second No. One this year and the eighth of his career. “Craving You” is the lead single from Thomas Rhett’s highly-anticipated upcoming third release, due out later this year.

“I heard this song went No. one this morning while I was on vacation with my family,” said Thomas Rhett. “It just reminded me how everything about this song has been fun. From having Maren sing on it, to making a really rad video to just feeling the energy from the fans each night when we play it live. It’s an unbelievable way to start out this record…I really can’t wait to share more.”

Thomas Rhett continues his “lively” (Tennessean) HOME TEAM TOUR, “one of the best Country concerts of the year” (Peoria Journal Star). After drawing capacity crowds overseas last year, he returns as a “force to be reckoned with” (Daily Star) with plans to return to Europe while also making his debut headlining run in Canada in addition to US dates. For more information on new music and for a full list of upcoming tour dates, visit: www.thomasrhett.com.

CHASE RICE ROARS ACROSS THE U.S. WITH LAMBS AND LIONS TOUR

MONDAY, JUNE 26, 2017 – 3:15PM

Rice Set to Release Lambs & Lions Later This Year With New Label Partner
BBR Music Group / BMG

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Chase Rice knows who he is as artist; and who he’s not. And he is set to release a new album, Lambs & Lions, with a new label partner BBR Music Group/BMG, and kick off a coast-to-coast “Lambs and Lions Tour” that strikes at the heart of what the industry outlier believes about reaching fans and making music that reflects more than the just the bravado that garnered the North Carolina native national acclaim.

With the confidence that comes from writing and playing from a deeper emotional well, Rice is launching the “Lambs and Lions Tour” in Boone, N.C. at Appalachian State University. It ends two continents, three countries, six months, five support acts and 30 tour dates later at Atlanta’s Buckhead Theatre. In between, he is playing gritty clubs, festivals, arenas, and some of the most revered music venues in the country. Unapologetic and fiercely independent, Rice is clearly comfortable in his own skin and on any stage.

As stated in an article by Marissa Moss in Rolling Stone, his current musical path “is a chance for him to move past bro-dom, experiment with new sounds and textures, and discuss much more than just the party. It’s about finding faith in relationships and learning how to persevere when things get a little tough, and is also an emotional dip into the world of an artist who, like many of his peers, was dismissed before he could reach a lot deeper.”

Rice has been one of country music’s most exciting figures since arriving in Nashville. He co-wrote Florida Georgia Line’s megahit Diamond certified “Cruise” and his 2014 major label debut album,Ignite the Night, opened at No. 1 and yielded two Top 5 hits with “Ready Set Roll” and “Gonna Wanna Tonight,” in addition to more than 900,000 in album sales. Rice initially released “Ready Set Roll” through his own Dack Janiels label and later partnered with Columbia Nashville for a wider release, though he never gave up control of his music to sign a long-term deal.

He signed with BBR Music Group because of the label’s proven track record of fostering an independent spirit while still helping deliver hits for its acts including Jason Aldean, Dustin Lynch, Randy Houser, and Granger Smith, all artists who began as independents and continue to chart their own paths with millions of songs and albums sold.

The 31-year-old singer-songwriter has had eclectic life for inspiration, playing football at the University of North Carolina, serving as a NASCAR pit crew member, even a role on a season ofSurvivor, all before finding success as a singer/songwriter/entertainer. His unrivaled live show has led to numerous sold out tours, a slot performing on Kenny Chesney’s stadium tour stops in 2015, and to ESPN’s Marty Smith noting in that sense, “Rice is an anomaly.”
