• 'Nashville' Stars Lennon & Maisy 'In The Waves' Contest: Sister Duo Pens First Children's Picture Book Inspired By Song Of Same Name

    Five years ago, sibling duo Lennon (now 15 years old) and Maisy Stella (now 11 years old) posted a cover of Ingrid Michaelson's "You and I" to YouTube, and it quickly went viral. They've since adapted their two-part harmony for covers of The Beatles, Charli XCX, Robyn, and more. Three years ago, they took their talents from the computer screen to the silver screen for roles on ABC's hit musical drama Nashville, playing the daughters of the series lead character. As their careers continue to expand and they prep for the release of their debut album under the Lennon & Maisy moniker, the sisters have ventured into a new medium: literature. After penning the new song "In the Waves," they were inspired to author their first children's picture book of the same name.
  • Stream Sam Lewis' New Song "Texas" Off His Upcoming Sophomore Album 'Waiting on You' Early, Exclusively On Music Times [LISTEN]

    Sam Lewis' sophomore album Waiting on You comes out on April 21, but we are premiering an in-studio performance video of "Texas," one of the songs off the new effort, here early, exclusively on Music Times. In 2008, Lewis released an acoustic collection called One's a Long Time, Two's a Fly By and moved to Nashville a year later to pursue his music career. While in Nashville, Lewis caught the attention of producer Matt Urmy, who helped produce his first album. Lewis' second album comes three years after his eponymous debut, for which he received national acclaim. This second album features contributions from many of Nashville's most popular musicians, including Mickey Raphael on harmonica, Gabe Dixon on keyboard, and The McCrary Sisters on backing vocals. Lewis hopes to become one of the great "truth-tellers and troubadours" like Hank Williams or John Prine.

  • Stream Sarah Gayle Meech's 'Tennessee Love Song' Early Exclusively At Music Times: Enter To Win A Free Copy Of The New Album

    The country music genre has been criticized in recent years for churning out too many songs about trucks, whiskey, and women and not enough traditional tales of small towns and people with grit. Those stories of real people making their way in the world have somewhat fallen by the wayside in the mainstream. But if you're one of those country music fans pining for the days of Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette, look no further than Nashville-based artist Sarah Gayle Meech. Meech's style is rooted in the country storytelling tradition with a modern sound and a rejuvenated spirit.
  • Like Swimming "A Room Of Her Own" Photo Contest: Win T-Shirt & Copy Of New Album 'Structures'

    Swedish trio Like Swimming just released their debut album Structures. Although the band members have been playing together in different forms for about nine years, Structures marks their first project under this new name. The band's sun-kissed sound mimics the varied motions of water. At times, the notes dive in and make a splash, other times they swirl around and build momentum; and then there are moments of peace, when the notes cut straight through the waves or when the water settles and silence takes over. In our latest feature, the band talks about their beginnings, songwriting process, live show, the difference between Swedish and American audiences, and more. Read all about them here.

They were at a crossroads in their musical lives when they decided to venture outside of Stockholm to a cabin in the woods to brainstorm.
