Concert Will Benefit Gun Violence PreventionTogether In Action, a concert benefiting gun violence prevention efforts in Tennessee, will take place on August 15 at City Winery Nashville presented by Country Any Way and eQuality events. Performers include Jason Isbell, Devon Gilfillian, Chris Housman, Julie Williams, Autumn Nicholas and The Kentucky Gentlemen. Tickets go on sale Wednesday, July 19 at 12PM CST, with the City Winery member presale beginning tomorrow, July 18 at 12PM CST. All net proceeds from the event will go to organizations working to raise awareness about gun violence in Tennessee, and Moms Demand Action will be on site providing more information on how to get involved in the movement to end gun violence. Tickets can be purchased HERE. 

Earlier this year, the Nashville community was shaken when a shooter took the lives of three adults and three children at The Covenant School. According to Everytown For Gun Safety, Tennessee has the 12th-highest rate of gun deaths in the country, with 1,385 people killed by guns in an average year. A recent report suggests several key policies, including secure firearm storage laws and extreme risk laws as well as requiring background checks on all gun sales, can help reduce gun violence in the United States.  

“In my efforts to change the landscape of country music, I'm realizing that a huge part of that is taking a close look at where we live and being vocal about the changes we'd like to see,” says Holly G, creator of Country Any Way and event organizer. “Since becoming a resident in Tennessee, I've incorporated into my mission making sure that marginalized voices and the voices of people who want Tennessee to be an inclusive and safe space are heard. Music gives us such a beautiful platform for expression and creating community. I'm so excited that myself, eQuality events, and City Winery Nashville were able to pull together such an amazing group of artists to send a clear message that Tennesseans deserve a safe place to live.”

Bobby Darin Estate Relaunches Direction RecordsBobby Darin was, by any definition, a superstar – a chart-topping, multimillion-selling, Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, a Golden Globe-winning actor, visionary entrepreneur, and committed political activist.

In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of his 1973 passing from heart disease at just 37 years old, the Bobby Darin Estatehas officially relaunched Direction Records, the groundbreaking label founded by Darin in 1968. Distributed by Secretly Distribution, the Direction Records collection kicks off with the release of five classic albums recorded between 1966 and 1967 and newly reverted to the Bobby Darin Estate, all available now on digital platforms for the first time ever.

The new releases include: Bobby Darin Sings The Shadow Of Your Smile (1966), In A Broadway Bag (1966), If I Were A Carpenter (1966), Inside Out (1967), and Bobby Darin Sings Doctor Dolittle (1967). 

“The purpose of Direction Records is to seek out statement-makers,” Bobby Darin said of the label’s foundation.

Direction Records heralded the two landmark albums in which Darin masterfully reinvented himself as a serious, socially conscious singer-songwriter equal to any of the era – 1968’s Born Walden Robert Cassotto and 1969’s Commitment. In addition, the Direction Records catalog will include Songs From Big Sur, a previously released anthology of non-LP singles, rare tracks, alternate takes, and music recorded live during Darin’s May 1969 residency at West Hollywood, CA’s venerable Troubadour.
