Today, Nashville singer/songwriter Sam Williams releases Glasshouse Children: Tilted Crown, a deluxe version of his celebrated debut Glasshouse Children. The expanded edition features six new tracks, including the previously released “Ragdoll” as well as new song “Tilted Crown” out today.

Listen to Glasshouse Children: Tilted Crown HERE

On the heart-rending new song “Tilted Crown,” Williams croons over a somber production, reflecting on the ups and downs of growing up, of love and loss and dealing with his legacy in life. Stay tuned for the tear-jerking video coming next week.

“The first verse of ‘Tilted Crown’ was a poem that I had been writing, and I had just run into a dead end with it. I just knew that I had to take that and transform it into song,” shares Williams. “It’s kind of if everyone’s life was royal or medieval or however you want to explain it and the things that were happening to me in that phase of my life… I felt like I was losing things and God kept taking things from me and I was in this position of a war with my life. I think it’s about carrying your legacy, and I don’t just mean my legacy in music. I mean everyone’s legacy and living that out the best way possible with everything you face in this life.”

Released last year, Williams’ debut Glasshouse Children received glowing reviews right out the gate. Rolling Stone said the LP was “…an introspective meditation on hurt and healing, growth and loss, sin and redemption: it’s a reckoning with fate, freewill and the family ties that bind us. Sam’s skyscraping vocals shine through these ten lush, cinematic songs, as he delivers gut-wrenching, honest and plainspoken lyrics with raw vulnerability and deep empathy.”

Music Row said, “The project is strikingly vulnerable, with songs about healing, growth, loss and redemption that show off Williams’ connection to country music’s roots and forward thinking approach to artistry.”

Williams spent the summer touring the UK with famed singer/songwriter Marty Stuart and is now at home working on new music.

The grandson of country pioneer Hank Williams and the son of outlaw legend Hank Jr., Sam Williams is the latest in a long line of American originals, but he’s not here for the sake of tradition. He sings with his own singular voice and he writes in his own singular style, fusing gut-wrenching honesty with plainspoken poetics and raw vulnerability with deep empathy. Suffering the sudden loss of his sister and mother this past year has been profoundly devastating for Williams, but the journey of grief and self-discovery he has found himself on has led to a deeper understanding of his purpose in life and inspired him to honor his legacy with truth and integrity.

“I feel like with every tour we get better and more confident, and we get to play a little more with production and things like that,” says Carrie. “So, I hope everybody can just expect to have a great time when they’re out in the audience. I remember going to see concerts and I would go buy the albums and make sure I knew all the songs that were going to be played and just like get ready for it. So, I hope people kind of do that. I hope people wear their denim and rhinestones to the shows. I think that’s gonna be a lot of fun looking out on the audience and just seeing all the bling and the fringe and the denim. I think it’s gonna be an experience, so I’m excited and I can’t wait.”

The trek, which will also feature Jimmie Allen, will make stops in 43 U.S. cities including New York City, Nashville, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta and Denver, before wrapping in Seattle, Washington on March 17th.

Ahead of the launch of her 43-city arena tour, THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR, 8-time GRAMMY® Award winner and 3-time ACM Entertainer of the Year, Carrie Underwood announces the electrifying second single from her Denim & Rhinestones album, “Hate My Heart,” impacting country radio on October 31.  Underwood shared the news about her latest single with an exclusive new video clip, providing a special behind-the-scenes look at her rehearsal of the song for her upcoming tour.  Underwood co-wrote “Hate My Heart” with frequent collaborators Hillary Lindsey and David Garcia, as well as hit artist/songwriter Hardy. Listen to “Hate My Heart” now.

“‘Hate My Heart’ was definitely part of my desire to have fun on this album.  I wanted songs that would be exciting to perform live and would fill up an arena, and that’s exactly what we’re about to do with The Denim & Rhinestones Tour.  This one is definitely going to get everyone up on their feet and having a good time.  It was great writing ‘Hate My Heart’ with Hillary Lindsey and David Garcia, who I love collaborating with, and also getting to work with Hardy, who brought a cool vibe and an energy to the track.”

So excited to rock out to my next single “Hate My Heart” LIVE on tour starting this Saturday! This was such a fun song to create with #HillaryLindsey #DavidGarcia & @HardyMusic! #DenimAndRhinestonesTour💜💎

Underwood is nominated for three awards at the upcoming CMA Awards on November 9, including Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year and Musical Event of the Year for the multi-week #1 smash hit, “If I Didn’t Love You” with Jason Aldean.

Underwood released Denim & Rhinestones in June and is the latest collaboration with David Garcia, with whom she co-produced her critically-acclaimed 2018 release, Cry Pretty and her 2021 GRAMMY® Award-winning album of gospel hymns, My Savior:

“Carrie Underwood achieves timeless, legendary country status with Denim & Rhinestones.”
– The Tennessean

“And after selling 66 million albums and winning more than 100 major awards,
Underwood bounces through a mix of synth-pop, soul, rootsy country and
roadhouse blues for a 12-song set that pulsates with real joy.”
– Toronto Sun

Denim & Rhinestones marks Underwood’s 10th consecutive career Top 10 debut on the Billboard Top 200 chart for all genres.  All 10 of Underwood’s albums (including nine studio albums and her 2014 Greatest Hits: Decade #1) have debuted in the Top 10, beginning with her first album, Some Hearts, which was released in 2005.  Denim & Rhinestones debuted as the top-selling country album in the U.S and the #1 country album in Australia, Canada and UK.  She is the most-awarded female country artist for singles in RIAA history.

Underwood will kick off her new U.S. arena tour, THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR, in Greenville, SC on October 15, with dates in Fall 2022 and Spring 2023.  The tour will be making stops in 43 U.S. cities including New York’s Madison Square Garden, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, and L.A.’s Crypto.com Arena before concluding in March 2023.  Underwood will be joined on THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR by special guest Jimmie Allen on all dates.  $1 from each ticket sold for THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR will be contributed to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, which has been helping America’s heroes since 9/11 by providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families with young children and by building custom-designed smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans and first responders.  For tickets and more information, visit carrieunderwoodofficial.com/tour.

Underwood’s stellar year also included a commanding headlining performance at the iconic Stagecoach Festival stage, where she appeared for the fourth time, having made her Stagecoach debut in 2008, followed by performances in 2011 and 2016.  A surprise performance with Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose made headlines around the world.  She surprised fans again when she joined Guns N’ Roses onstage for two songs during each of their shows at the UK’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in July.

Underwood will resume her ongoing REFLECTION: The Las Vegas Residency at the Resorts World Theatre in 2023, following THE DENIM & RHINESTONES TOUR.  The first artist to grace the stage of the new 5,000-seat, world-class theatre, she debuted her residency with a sold-out run in December 2021 and went on to perform additional sold-out runs through Spring 2022.  2023 dates for REFLECTION will be announced at a later date.

Tyler Hubbard has curated an impressive body of music, both as one-half of the award-winning and multi-platinum duo Florida Georgia Line, and more recently as a solo artist. The singer-songwriter-producer lives, eats and breathes music.

The Georgia native’s exposure to music began in church, but it was expanded during car trips with the family. “My first real experiences of music just really reaching me to the core was in worship, and I think I fell in love with music in church,” says Tyler. “But I do recall, even as a child, listening to old country CDs and being on road trips and listening to Alabama and Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson and really feeling like I was impacted on those trips listening to those songs and hearing the stories and the songwriting and the melodies and how they put that together so well. So, I’d say in between church (and) in between car trips with the family, that was my initial falling in love with music.”

Tyler is currently climbing to the top of the country charts with “5 Foot 9,” the first single from his upcoming album, which will be available January 27th, 2023.

He’s currently on tour with Keith Urban on THE SPEED OF NOW WORLD TOUR, and the next stops on the trek are Thursday (October 13th) in Savannah, Georgia; Friday (October 14th) in Knoxville, Tennessee and Saturday (October 15th) in Charleston, West Virginia.
